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

One-Class Classification: Taxonomy of Study and Review of Techniques
One-class classification (OCC) algorithms aim to build classification models
when the negative class is either absent, poorly sampled or not well defined.
This unique situation constrains the learning of efficient classifiers by
defining class boundary just with the knowledge of positive class. The OCC
problem has been considered and applied under many research themes, such as
outlier/novelty detection and concept learning. In this paper we present a
unified view of the general problem of OCC by presenting a taxonomy of study
for OCC problems, which is based on the availability of training data,
algorithms used and the application domains applied. We further delve into each
of the categories of the proposed taxonomy and present a comprehensive
literature review of the OCC algorithms, techniques and methodologies with a
focus on their significance, limitations and applications. We conclude our
paper by discussing some open research problems in the field of OCC and present
our vision for future research.Comment: 24 pages + 11 pages of references, 8 figure
Graph indexing and retrieval based on graph prototypes
[ANGLÈS] Taking a query from a high number of data stored into a database, as fast as possible, is a recurrent problem in the field of computer sciences practically since its origins. At the existence of this problem, it’s necessary to add, moreover, the fact that actually databases contains data types of more diverse and unexpected character possible. Now we are not talking about originating databases which only contained sets of numbers or characters strings. (...) All that I want to make into the present work and I think that was achieved as far as possible, has been to develop and to present a methodology to carry out this process. The Metric Trees of prototypes are based on a well-known strategy, which is based on grouping the data stored in database at the smartest possible way. But also we has added the concept of a graph prototype. A structure that contains information of a set of instances represented by graphs, used until now for classification and recognition.
In this thesis we have used graphs as representatives of elements that have to be queried in databases. Note that graphs have the capacity to represent complex objects, for this reason the number of graph databases is increasing. Due to in the literature appears different ways to build a prototype, the work presented here shows a comparative study between the main methods.
Combining these two concepts, the Metric Tree and the graph prototype, we propose the construction of metric trees where the graph prototypes are routing nodes to help to decide the way to explore when we make a search in the tree. We have used Metric Trees to make classification and to find all instances that are lower than a maximum distance. (...)[CATALÀ] El trobar-nos davant una gran quantitat de dades i tenir que fer cerques d’aquestes el més rà pid possible és un problema recurrent en el camp de les ciències de la computació prà cticament des dels seus orÃgens. A l'existència d'aquest problema, se li ha d’afegir, a més a més, el fet de que actualment les bases de dades emmagatzemen tipus de dades de la naturalesa més diversa i molts cops inesperada possible. Ja no parlem de les bases de dades originaries que únicament contenien números o cadenes carà cters. (...) El que he volgut en aquest treball i penso que en la mesura del que era possible s'ha aconseguit, és desenvolupar i presentar una metodologia per portar a terme aquest procés. Els Metric Trees de prototips, que es basen en la ja coneguda estratègia d'agrupar les dades que anem guardant a una base de dades de la forma més intel·ligent possible per no haver d’explorar totes les instà ncies que tenim quan volem fer una cerca, però a més a més s'ha afegit el concepte de prototip. Una estructura, que agrupa la informació d'un conjunt d'instà ncies, utilitzada fins ara per a fer classificació i reconeixement.
Conjugant aquests dos conceptes, el de Metric Tree i el de prototip, plantejem la construcció d'arbres de cerca on els prototips siguin els nodes intermedis, que ens ajudin a decidir quin camà explorar quan volem fer una cerca sobre l'arbre. I utilitzant, aquests tant per a fer classificació com per a buscar totes les instà ncies que estiguin una distà ncia més petita d’una distà ncia máxima. Tot això tenint present, que les dades amb que treballem són grafs, és a dir que la metodologia presentada, té la versatilitat de poder-se aplicar, a qualsevol tipus d'informació que es pugui representar d'aquesta manera.

A review on the application of evolutionary computation to information retrieval
In this contribution, different proposals found in the specialized literature for the
application of evolutionary computation to the field of information retrieval will be
reviewed. To do so, different kinds of IR problems that have been solved by evolutionary
algorithms are analyzed. Some of the specific existing approaches will be specifically
described for some of these problems and the obtained results will be critically
evaluated in order to give a clear view of the topic to the reader.CICYT under project TIC2002-03276University of Granada under project ‘‘Mejora de Metaheur ısticas mediante Hibridaci on y sus
