- An Immune Inspired Network Intrusion Detection System Utilising Correlation Context
- Network Intrusion Detection Systems NIDS are computer systems which monitor a network with the aim of discerning malicious from benign activity on that network. While a wide range of approaches have met varying levels of success, most IDSs rely on having access to a database of known attack signatures which...

- Adaptive Alert Throttling for Intrusion Detection Systems
- Each time an intrusion detection system raises an alert it must make some attempt to communicate the information to an operator. This communication channel can easily become the target of a denial of service attack because, like all communication channels, it has a fixed capacity. If this channel can become...

- Is Gaming the System State-or-Trait?: Educational Data Mining Through the Multi-Contextual Application of a Validated Behavioral Model
- This paper discusses the use of a validated behavioral model across multiple contexts. The paper shows that such a model can be used to distinguish between classes of explanations for why that behavior occurs. Specifically, the paper compares between state and trait explanations for why students game. The paper uses...

- Strategic Alert Throttling for Intrusion Detection Systems
- Network intrusion detection systems are themselves becoming targets of attackers. Alert flood attacks may be used to conceal malicious activity by hiding it among a deluge of false alerts sent by the attacker. Although these types of attacks are very hard to stop completely, the aim is to present techniques...
