Autonomic Zero Trust Framework for Network Protection

Description: With the technological improvements, the number of Internet connected devices is increasing tremendously. We also observe an increase in cyberattacks since the attackers want to use all these interconnected devices for malicious intention. Even though there exist many proactive security solutions, it is not practical to run all the security solutions on them as they have limited computational resources and even battery operated. As an alternative, Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) has become popula… more

Determining Event Outcomes from Social Media

Description: An event is something that happens at a time and location. Events include major life events such as graduating college or getting married, and also simple day-to-day activities such as commuting to work or eating lunch. Most work on event extraction detects events and the entities involved in events. For example, cooking events will usually involve a cook, some utensils and appliances, and a final product. In this work, we target the task of determining whether events result in their expected o… more

A Study on Usability of Mobile Software Targeted at Elderly People in China

Description: With the rapid development of mobile device technology, smartphones are now not only the tool for young people but also for elderly people. However, the complicated steps of interacting with smartphones are stopping them from having a good user experience. One of the reasons is that application designers do not take consideration of the user group of elderly people. Our pilot survey shows that most elderly people lack the skills required to use a smartphone without obstacles, like typing. We al… more

Managing Access during Employee Separation using Blockchain Technology

Description: On-boarding refers to bringing in an employee to a company and granting access to new hires. However, a person may go through different stages of employment, hold different jobs by the same employer and have different levels of information access during the employment duration. A shared services organization may have either limited or wide-spread access within certain groups. Off-boarding implies the removal of access of information or physical devices such as keys, computers or mobile device… more

BC Framework for CAV Edge Computing

Description: Edge computing and CAV (Connected Autonomous Vehicle) fields can work as a team. With the short latency and high responsiveness of edge computing, it is a better fit than cloud computing in the CAV field. Moreover, containerized applications are getting rid of the annoying procedures for setting the required environment. So that deployment of applications on new machines is much more user-friendly than before. Therefore, this paper proposes a framework developed for the CAV edge computing scena… more

Biomedical Semantic Embeddings: Using Hybrid Sentences to Construct Biomedical Word Embeddings and its Applications

Description: Word embeddings is a useful method that has shown enormous success in various NLP tasks, not only in open domain but also in biomedical domain. The biomedical domain provides various domain specific resources and tools that can be exploited to improve performance of these word embeddings. However, most of the research related to word embeddings in biomedical domain focuses on analysis of model architecture, hyper-parameters and input text. In this paper, we use SemMedDB to design new sentences … more

Enhanced Approach for the Classification of Ulcerative Colitis Severity in Colonoscopy Videos Using CNN

Description: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by periods of relapses and remissions affecting more than 500,000 people in the United States. To achieve the therapeutic goals of UC, which are to first induce and then maintain disease remission, doctors need to evaluate the severity of UC of a patient. However, it is very difficult to evaluate the severity of UC objectively because of non-uniform nature of symptoms and large variations in their patterns. To address this,… more

BSM Message and Video Streaming Quality Comparative Analysis Using Wave Short Message Protocol (WSMP)

Description: Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) are used for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications. The IEEE 802.11p/WAVE (Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment) and with WAVE Short Messaging Protocol (WSMP) has been proposed as the standard protocol for designing applications for VANETs. This communication protocol must be thoroughly tested before reliable and efficient applications can be built using its protocols. In this paper, we perform on-road experiments in a… more

Mining Biomedical Data for Hidden Relationship Discovery

Description: With an ever-growing number of publications in the biomedical domain, it becomes likely that important implicit connections between individual concepts of biomedical knowledge are overlooked. Literature based discovery (LBD) is in practice for many years to identify plausible associations between previously unrelated concepts. In this paper, we present a new, completely automatic and interactive system that creates a graph-based knowledge base to capture multifaceted complex associations among … more

Merlin Classifier System

Description: There is a natural tendency for biological systems to change as their environments change. The fittest in the biological systems survive, adapt to their environment, and multiply while the weakest in the environment diminish. There have been attempts in computer science to model the processes of natural selection and survival which occur in biological systems in order to obtain more efficient and effective machine-learning algorithms. Genetic algorithms are the result of these attempts.

The Telecommunications Network Configuration Optimization Problem

Description: The purpose of telecommunication network configuration optimization is to find the best homing relationship between tandems and switches so as to minimize interswitch traffic, or equivalently to maximize intraswitch traffic. Note that, since minimal interswitch traffic implies minimal IMT utilization, communication costs will also be minimal.

An English and Arabic Character Printer

Description: This paper is presented in satisfaction of the requirement for two problems in lieu of thesis which are required for the degree, Master of Science. The two problems are: (1) to provide an electric interface between the M6800 microprocessor and the printer; and (2) to design an Arabic character set and to provide the logic required for its implementation. As it would be artificial and impractical to document these problems separately, a single document here is provided.

A Report on Control of Access to Stored Information in a Computer Utility

Description: Time-sharing computer systems permit large numbers of users to operate on common sets of data and programs. Since certain parts of these computer resources may be sensitive or proprietary, there exists the risks that information belonging to one user, may, contrary to his intent, become available to other users, and there is the additional risk that outside agencies may infiltrate the system and obtain information. The question naturally arises of protecting one user's stored program and data a… more
