A Distributed Architecture for an Adaptive Computer Virus Immune System

چکیده
Computer viruses are widely recognized as a sig-niicant computer threat. The \birth rate" of new viruses is high and increasing due to global connec-tivity, and technology improvements can accelerate their spread. In response to this threat, some contemporary research eeorts are aimed at creating computer virus immune systems (CVIS). A CVIS uses the human immune system as a model for identifying , attacking, and eradicating viruses from computers and networks. This paper analyzes the requirements of such a computer virus immune system and evaluates current approaches with respect to these requirements. Based on this analysis, we propose a distributed architecture for implementing a CVIS. In particular, we discuss how emerging technologies such as evolutionary algorithms (EAs) and intelligent agents (IAs) can be employed to give the CVIS a self-adaption capability for new viral threats.

With increased global interconnectivity, reliance on e-commerce, network services, and Internet communication, computer security has become a necessity. Organizations must protect their systems from intrusion and computer-virus attacks. Such protection must detect anomalous patterns by exploiting known signatures while monitoring normal computer programs and network usage for abnormalities. Cur...

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy control scheme is proposed for a class of perturbed strict-feedback nonlinear systems with unknown discrete and distributed time-varying delays, and the proposed design method does not require a priori knowledge of the signs of the control gains.Based on the backstepping technique, the adaptive fuzzy controller is constructed. The main contributions of the paper...
