In this paper, a generic architecture for intrusion alert management, analysis and security decision support is described. The architecture is composed of four components: (1)Alert Aggregator, (2)Alert Evaluation and Security Decision Support Component, (3)Alert Correlator and (4)Synthetic Alert Report Generator. The core of this architecture is the Alert Evaluation and Security Decision Suppor...

Design: Quantitative retrospective analysis of drug safety alerts overridden during 1 month and qualitative interviews with 24 respondents (18 physicians and 6 pharmacists) about turning off frequently overridden DDI alerts, based on the Dutch drug database, in a hospital setting. Screen shots and complete texts of frequently overridden DDIs were presented to physicians of internal medicine, ca...

We present several ways to correlate security events from two applications that visualize the same underlying data with two distinct views: system and network. Correlation of security events provide Security Engineers a better understanding of what is happening for enhanced security situational awareness. Visualization leverages human cognitive abilities and promotes quick mental connections be...

Psychiatric disorders induced by social stress have suggested that monoamines play key roles in a whole brain network. To research an environmentally dependent neural network development of social psychology, we report our model animal study of peer-social behavior learning by screening the relevant monoamines in various brain regions in the light of social brain network. We have originally dev...
