An optimization spiking neural P system (OSNPS) provides a novel way to directly use a P system to solve optimization problems. This paper discusses the practical application of OSNPS for the first time and uses it to solve the power system fault section estimation problem formulated by an optimization problem. When the status information of protective relays and circuit breakers read from a su...

A entrevista com a Dra. Cristiana Barreto, que foi uma das editoras da Revista SAB no Biênio 2014-2015, rememora um momento fundamental história Revista: sua transição do formato tradicional impresso para o digital e início gerenciamento editorial através de plataforma livre acesso. Na entrevista, Barreto também reflete sobre alguns dos desafios atuais futuros periódico.

Recognition of known malicious patterns through signature-based systems is unsuccessful against malware for which no signature exists to identify them. These include not only zero-day but also software able self-replicate rewriting its own code leaving unaffected execution, namely metamorphic malware. YARA a popular analysis tool that uses the so-called YARA-rules, are built match contents with...

Over a decades, although various techniques have been proposed to improve the training of a neural network to against node fault, there is still a lacking of (i) a simple objective function to formalize multiple nodes fault and not much work has been done on understanding of the relation between fault tolerant and generalization. In this paper, an objective function based on the idea of Kullbac...

The Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) design discipline involves the examination at design time of the consequences of potential component failures on the functionality of a system. It is clear that this type of information could also prove useful for diagnostic purposes. Unfortunately, this information cannot be fully utilised for diagnosis when FMEA has been performed by human engineer...

-In this paper we present a fast cyclic redundancy check (CRC) algorithm that performs CRC computation for any length of message in parallel. For a given message with any length, we first chunk the message into blocks, each of which has a fixed size equal to the degree of the generator polynomial. Then we perform CRC computation among the chunked blocks in parallel using Galois Field multiplica...
