Towards Building a Scalable and Believable Hybrid Honeypot Framework

Liu, Songsong (2022)

A honeypot is an effective tool to learn new attacking vectors and strategies from attackers or malware, and it has been adopted and deployed in production systems. Meanwhile, the distributed hybrid honeypot system has ...
Towards Designing Reliable and Efficient Millimeter-Wave Wireless LANS

Zhang, Ding (2022)

With the increasing amount of mobile data and the demand for high data rates, current 2.4GHz/5GHz wireless local area networks (WLANs) are facing the problem of limited capacity. Millimeter-wave (mmWave) networks with ...
Towards Efficient and Scalable SDN-based Data Center Monitoring and Management

Zili Zha (2021)

Recent years have witnessed the great success of cloud computing that is powered by data center systems. As an essential building block for many of our cyber infrastructures, the monitoring, security, and management of ...
Towards Evasive Attacks: Anomaly Detection Resistance Analysis on the Internet

Jin, Jing (2013-08)

The Internet is rapidly improving as a platform for deploying sophisticated interactive applications especially in Web 2.0. Although the shift from desktop-centric applications brings many benefits to web-based computing ...
Towards Flood Resilience in Large Metropolitan Areas: Real-time Flood Forecast and Planning for Climate Uncertainty

de Almeida Coelho, Gustavo (2022)

Urban floods generated by heavy and short-duration rainfall are a major concern in urban areas due to their potential socioeconomic impacts and threat to life. Moreover, such threats are expected to continue with increasing ...
Towards Large-Scale and High-Performance Deep Learning Computing

Yu, Fuxun (2022)

Deep Learning (DL) has achieved superior performance than human in complex cognitive tasks like vision, speech, language, medical, games, etc. With the ever-increasing market demands, DL applications and the underlying ...
Towards Lower Bounds on Distortion in Information Hiding

Kim, Younhee (2009-01-30)

Information hiding refers to embedding additional digital data in cover objects–e.g. audio, image or video signals–by modifying the cover objects. Information hiding techniques have been used in a variety of application ...
Towards Power-Efficient Internet Streaming to Mobile Devices

Liu, Yao (2013)

Internet streaming services are very popular today. According to Cisco, video traffic accounts for more than 51% total Internet traffic. With the pervasive adoption of various mobile devices in practice in the past several ...
Tracking control for a formation of Autonomous Underwater vehicles

Gornowich, John (2011-02-24)

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are being implemented for a multitude of military and commercial applications, as well as scientific research and surveying. Because of the environment that these vehicles are tasked ...
Transport Properties of 3D And 2D Disordered Electronic Materials

Nath, Anindya (2015-03-25)

In the real world, the crystalline states are exceptions rather than the rule. Disorder exists in varying forms and degrees, ranging from a few impurities or voids in otherwise perfect crystals to the strongly disordered ...
Travel Behavior Reactions to Transit Services Disruptions: A Case Study on the Washington D.C. Metro SafeTrack Project

Masud, Hamza

Major transit infrastructure disruptions have become more frequent due to increasing maintenance needs for an aging infrastructure, system failures, and disasters. Understanding travel behavior reactions to service disruptions ...
A Tree Search Approach to Detection and Estimation with Application to Communications and Tracking

Roufarshbaf, Hossein (2011-08-18)

We propose complexity efficient tree search approaches to detection and estimation problems, and we consider both communication and target tracking applications in this regard. We formulate the problems of interest using ...
Two Dimensional Micromechanics Based Computational Model for Spherically Voided Biaxial Slabs (SVBS)

Ali, Wondwosen Belay (2014)

The demand for reducing the weight-to-stiffness and strength ratios of solid reinforced concrete slabs, while improving their span limit, has led to the emergence of spherically voided biaxial slab (SVBS) systems. However, ...
Two-Dimensional Materials: Doping-Induced Variation, Heterojunction FETs and Hybrid Multilayers

Eshun, Kwesi P. (2014-10-21)

As the size of Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) field effect transistor (FET) approaches its fundamental physical limit, two-dimensional (2D) layered structures, such as transitional metal dichalcogenides ...
Two-Stage Robust Optimization with Applications in Health Care and Combinatorial Optimization

Neyshabouri, Saba (2016)
