Botnets have become a major threat to the Internet as large armies of bot machines can be used to carry out a wide range of attacks. We present a botnet detection mechanism that uses two levels of support vector machines (SVMs) to identify infected bot machines before they are used in an attack. Our technique detects relationships in the networkflows dynamically and determines if such relations...

Fast growth of Internet has brought some security concerns. One of these security concerns is Botnet. Bot and Botnets are new sophisticated kind of malware that is equipped with advanced features and have variety of applications. This paper reviews the current botnet detection frameworks and their advantages and drawbacks. To address the drawbacks we propose a conceptual holistic Botnet Detecti...

A very large number of applications that are currently deployed on large scale distributed systems such as grids or volunteer computing systems are Bag-of-Tasks (BoT) applications. Up until now, simple mechanisms have been used to ensure a fair sharing of resources amongst these applications. Although these mechanisms have proved e cient for CPU-bound applications, they are known to be ine ecti...

In this paper, we present a comprehensive study on autonomous self-assembly. In particular, we discuss the selfassembling capabilities of the swarm-bot, a distributed robotics concept that lies at the intersection between collective and selfreconfigurable robotics. A swarm-bot comprises autonomous mobile robots called s-bots. S-bots can either act independently or self-assemble into a swarm-bot...
