honeypot is a security device the value of which lies mainly in discovering and inspecting, being attacked and being at risk. most of the present honeypots are configured and installed on the network statically. in some cases considerations have been made on dynamic configuration of honeypots at the time of installation but still no study have been carried out on how to instantaneously change t...

Production of highly viscous tar sand bitumen using Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) with a pair of horizontal wells has advantages over conventional steam flooding. This paper explores the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) as an alternative to the traditional SAGD simulation approach. Feed forward, multi-layered neural network meta-models are trained through the Back-...

In this paper, we develop an acyclic network of queues for the design of a dynamic flow shop, where each service station represents a machine. The orders arrive at the input station according to a Poisson process, assuming each order consists of n jobs. Jobs associated with successive orders contend for resources on a FCFS (First Come First Served) dispatching rule in all machines. Upon arrivin...

A Multi-agent System can be defined as a set of agents that interact with each other and with the environment to solve a particular problem in a coordinated (behaviorally coherent) manner. Our paper models Call Admission Control in Cellular networks as Multi Agent resource provisioning problem to provide Service Level Agreement (SLA) in wireless cellular network. For which we modify SHUFFLE mod...

In this study, a low-cost, rapid and qualitative evaluation procedure is presented using dynamic pattern recognition analysis to assess liquefaction potential which is useful in the planning, zoning, general hazard assessment, and delineation of areas, Dynamic pattern recognition using neural networks is generally considered to be an effective tool for assessing of hazard potential on the b...

In this paper we present a powerful technique for analysing production networks in the presence of decision-making variables and cost exibility. Processes are modelled as a network , similar to PERT/CPM schemes, but with built-in decision and cost variables. For minimal increased complexity in the development of the network, we show that powerful analysis and optimisation techniques are enabled...

This paper demonstrates the performance of PERT, a new TCP congestion control, for video streaming. PERT stands for Probabilistic Early Response TCP. As a delay based protocol, it measures the delay at the end host and adjusts the congestion window accordingly. As our NS-2 simulation results show, the late packet of the video streams are greatly decreased when applying PERT in heterogeneous env...

In this paper we present a powerful technique for analysing complex production systems incorporating task duration, cost, and the impact of external factors. Processes are modelled as a network, similar to PERT/CPM schemes, but with built-in decision and cost variables. For minimal increased complexity in the development of the network, we show that powerful analysis and optimisation techniques...
