Open source environment to define constraints in route planning for GIS-T
Route planning for transportation systems is strongly related to shortest path algorithms, an optimization problem extensively studied in the literature. To find the shortest path in a network one usually assigns weights to each branch to represent the difficulty of taking such branch. The weights construct a linear preference function ordering the variety of alternatives from the most to the least attractive.Postprint (published version
A distributed framework for semi-automatically developing architectures of brain and mind
Developing comprehensive theories of low-level neuronal brain processes and high-level cognitive behaviours, as well as integrating them, is an ambitious challenge that requires new conceptual, computational, and empirical tools. Given the complexities of these theories, they will almost certainly be expressed as computational systems. Here, we propose to use recent developments in grid technology to develop a system of evolutionary scientific discovery, which will (a) enable empirical researchers to make their data widely available for use in developing and testing theories, and (b) enable theorists to semi-automatically develop computational theories. We illustrate these ideas with a case study taken from the domain of categorisation
ANTIDS: Self-Organized Ant-based Clustering Model for Intrusion Detection System
Security of computers and the networks that connect them is increasingly
becoming of great significance. Computer security is defined as the protection
of computing systems against threats to confidentiality, integrity, and
availability. There are two types of intruders: the external intruders who are
unauthorized users of the machines they attack, and internal intruders, who
have permission to access the system with some restrictions. Due to the fact
that it is more and more improbable to a system administrator to recognize and
manually intervene to stop an attack, there is an increasing recognition that
ID systems should have a lot to earn on following its basic principles on the
behavior of complex natural systems, namely in what refers to
self-organization, allowing for a real distributed and collective perception of
this phenomena. With that aim in mind, the present work presents a
self-organized ant colony based intrusion detection system (ANTIDS) to detect
intrusions in a network infrastructure. The performance is compared among
conventional soft computing paradigms like Decision Trees, Support Vector
Machines and Linear Genetic Programming to model fast, online and efficient
intrusion detection systems.Comment: 13 pages, 3 figures, Swarm Intelligence and Patterns (SIP)- special
