One of the most important areas of a network intrusion detection system (NIDS), stateful inspection, is described in this paper. We present a novel reconfigurable hardware architecture implementing TCP stateful inspection used in NIDS. This is to achieve a more efficient and faster network intrusion detection system as todays’ NIDSs show inefficiency and even fail to perform while encountering ...

Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) systems are a relatively new and expanding area of research. Due to current demographic trends towards gentrification of the population AAL systems are bound to become more important in todays and near future’s societies. Fall detection is an important component of AAL systems which could provide better safety and higher independency of the elderly. This paper pres...

Recently, approaches that combine contexts and ontologies taking advantages of their strengths have been developed. Each of them solves different problems from different perspectives. The objective of this paper is to present problems that are not solved up to date as well as to introduce a conceptual proposal. To this aim, we base our analysis on a collaborative B2B scenario that is relevant f...

Low educational qualification, i.e. reaching no or only a very basic degree, substantially decreases an individual’s prospects on todays labour market. Emotional stability and conscientiousness are known to be predictive of achievement. Nevertheless, the moderating role these two personality traits outcome low interaction with gender far less explored. In this paper, we use rich data from Briti...

In todays internet-centric world, web applications are replacing desktop applications. Cloud systems are frequently used to store and manage user data. Given the complexity inherent in web applications, it is imperative to ensure that this data is never invalidated. We overview existing techniques for data model verification in web applications, list bugs discovered by these tools, and investig...

Polymer injection in moulds with complicated shapes is common in todays industrial problems. A challenge is to optimize the mould design which leads to the most homogeneous filling. Current commercial softwares are able to simulate the process only partially. This paper proposes a preliminary study of the capability of a two-fluid LatticeBoltzmann model to provide a simple and flexible approach...

Microblogging websites, especially Twitter have become an important means of communication, in todays time. Often these services have been found to be faster than conventional news services. With millions of users, a need was felt to classify users based on ambient metadata associated with their user accounts. We particularly look at the effectiveness of the ‘profile description’ field in order...

Up to now Service Oriented Architectures and Event Driven Architectures have been considered as competing parties striving to conquer the crown of the standard paradigm for the implementation of complex distributed applications. Todays we are witnesses of large efforts to merge both paradigms and give birth to a new generation of middleware platforms that will inherit the best of both worlds. I...

Wireless multi-hop ad hoc communication networks represent an infrastructure-less and self-organized generalization of todays wireless cellular networks. Connectivity within such a network is an important issue. Continuum percolation and technologydriven mutations thereof allow to address this issue in the static limit and to construct a simple distributed protocol, guaranteeing strong connecti...
