- A Game Theoretic Analysis of Intrusion Detection in Access Control Systems
- This paper presents a game-theoretic analysis of intrusion detection in access control systems. A security game between the attacker and the intrusion detection system is investigated both in finite and continuous-kernel versions, where in the latter case players are associated with specific cost functions. The distributed virtual sensor network based...

- A Framework for Querying Sensor Networks Using Mobile Devices
- An interplay between mobile devices and static sensor nodes is envisioned in the near future. This will enable a heterogeneous design space that can offset the stringent resource and power constraints encountered in traditional static sensor networks by taking advantage of the more powerful mobile devices. As such, this paper...

- The RTT Distribution of TCP Flows in the Internet and Its Impact on TCP-Based Flow Control
- It is well known that the performance of a TCP flow is affected by its Round-Trip Time RTT, i.e., the elapsed time between the instant a packet is released by the source to the instant the corresponding ack is received by the source. The distribution of RTTs can dramatically affect...

- Human-Centered Multimedia
- This paper takes a holistic view on the research issues and applications of Human-Centered Multimedia focusing on three main areas - multimodal interaction: visual (body, gaze, gesture) and audio emotion analysis; image databases, indexing, and retrieval: context modeling, cultural issues, and machine learning for user-centric approaches; and multimedia data: conceptual...

- Task Switching in Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks
- Mobile wireless sensor networks have the ability to monitor wide geographical areas. A suitable distribution of sensors can provide an optimal coverage according to a predefined criterion of the area of interest. On the other hand, mobile sensors can also move to the point of interest if necessary, thereby possibly...

- TCP-Illinois: A Loss and Delay-Based Congestion Control Algorithm for High-Speed Networks
- This paper introduces a new congestion control algorithm for high speed networks, called TCP-Illinois. TCP-Illinois uses packet loss information to determine whether the window size should be increased or decreased, and uses queueing delay information to determine the amount of increment or decrement. TCP-Illinois achieves high throughput, allocates the network...

- Multilevel Codes for OFDM-Like Modulation Over Underspread Fading Channels
- This paper studies the problem of modulation and coding for doubly dispersive, i.e., time and frequency selective fading channels. Using the recent result that under-spread linear systems are approximately diagonalized by biorthogonal Weyl-Heisenberg bases, it arrives at a canonical formulation of modulation and code design. For coherent reception with maximum...

- Maestro-VC: On-Demand Secure Cluster Computing Using Virtualization
- On-demand computing is the name given to technology which enables an infrastructure where computing cycles are treated as a commodity, and where such a commodity can be accessed upon request. In this way the goals of on-demand computing overlap with and are similar to those of Grid computing: both enable...

- iPoJ: User-Space Sandboxing for Linux 2.4
- The Internet is a dangerous place. Both naive and educated users routinely become infected with viruses and accidentally run spyware despite widespread knowledge of such risks and how to avoid them. Clearly, user education is a dead-end. Another approach is to finely limit what different applications can do so that...

- An Intrusion Detection Game With Limited Observations
- Intrusion Detection Systems IDSs monitor various events in a networked system and analyze them for signs of security problems. By extending the information security paradigm beyond traditional protective (e.g. firewalls) and reactive measures (e.g. virus and malware detection), they increase the controlling ability of the system administrator, and help him...
