A significant challenge in applying IDS alert correlation in today’s dynamic threat environment is the labor and expertise needed in constructing the correlation model, or the knowledge base, for the correlation process. New IDS signatures capturing emerging threats are generated on a daily basis, and the attack scenarios each captured activity may be involved in are also multitude. Thus it bec...

The paper explores the implementation of rule-based patterndirected inference systems on parallel computers. The paper discusses one of these approaches in detail, the use of a graphreduction machine such as ALICE. The technique is illustrated through two example domains: automobile fault diagnosis and organic psychiatric mental disorders. The paper discusses extensions to the graph reduction t...

During the design of storm drainage system, many decisions are involved on the basis of rules of thumb, heuristics, judgment, code of practice and previous experience of the designer. It is a suitable application field for application of the recent artificial intelligence technology. This paper presents the knowledge representation of the design of storm drainage system in a prototype knowledge...

Currently, there is some scientific interest on studying creativity and how it can be modeled by computer programs. One of the active subareas focuses on the generation of text, with some prior success systems. In this paper, we describe an example of this kind of system that automatically generates texts related to Greek mythology. We have elaborated on ideas coming from computer creativity, s...

Image Understanding (IU) concerns the issues of how to interpret images. Knowledge-based image understanding studies the theory and techniques of computational image understanding, which uses explicit, independent knowledge about the images, such as their context and objects in them, as well as knowledge about the imaging system. Two related disciplines, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Image P...

The purpose of this research is to investigate the extent to which knowledge can replace and support search in selecting a chess move and to delineate the issues involved. This has been carried out by constructing a program. PARADISE (PArtern Recognition Applied to Directing SEarch), which finds the best move in tactically sharp middle game positions from the games of chess masters. It encodes ...
