Current knowledge acquisition tools have limited understanding of how users enter knowledge and how acquired knowledge is used, and provide limited assistance in organizing various knowledge au-thoring tasks. In this paper, we present a novel extension to existing knowledge acquisition tools where the system 1) captures the episodes of knowledge acquisition and knowledge use through a set of de...

Recently, as a demand for connecting Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems to open networks increases, the study of SCADA system security becomes an issue. Many researchers have proposed key management schemes for SCADA systems. However, previous studies lack the proper considerations for availability. In this paper, we build up cryptographic security requirements for robust ...
