A Break in the Clouds: Towards a Cloud Definition

Cyber-attacks are becoming more sophisticated and thereby presenting increasing challenges in accurately detecting intrusions. Failure to prevent the intrusions could degrade the credibility of security services, e.g. data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Numerous intrusion detection methods have been proposed in the literature to tackle computer security threats, which can be broadly classified into Signature-based Intrusion Detection Systems (SIDS) and Anomaly-based Intrusion Detection Systems (AIDS). This survey paper presents a taxonomy of contemporary IDS, a comprehensive review of notable recent works, and an overview of the datasets commonly used for evaluation purposes. It also presents evasion techniques used by attackers to avoid detection and discusses future research challenges to counter such techniques so as to make computer systems more secure.

Survey of intrusion detection systems: techniques, datasets and challenges

Cloud Computing is a flexible, cost-effective, and proven delivery platform for providing business or consumer IT services over the Internet. However, cloud Computing presents an added level of risk because essential services are often outsourced to a third party, which makes it harder to maintain data security and privacy, support data and service availability, and demonstrate compliance. Cloud Computing leverages many technologies (SOA, virtualization, Web 2.0); it also inherits their security issues, which we discuss here, identifying the main vulnerabilities in this kind of systems and the most important threats found in the literature related to Cloud Computing and its environment as well as to identify and relate vulnerabilities and threats with possible solutions.

Operating Systems: Design and Implementation

The use of limited battery powered nodes operating within the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to raise serious concerns about what mechanisms can be employed to conserve energy consumption and extend the overall network lifetime. Power consumption overheads generally incur by periodic and frequent message updates sent to the Resource Directory (RD). The RD contains descriptions of resources held within Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) servers while the clients perform lookups of those resources. Using the RD in the CoAP enhances the registration of the nodes mechanism and increases the connectivity and efficiency of the IoT by recording the state of the nodes and identifying which ones are active. This paper presents a new on-demand Constrained Application Protocol (OCAP) to control and set the message update frequency to occur only ‘on demand’. Since the data reception has to be done at the arrival of data, this study's approach (OCAP) concentrates only on the transition power by controlling the rate of update messages and adjusting it to the arrival rate of data. The results show an improvement in extending the lifetime of the network on an average of by 55 % as compared to the standard CoAP protocol. OCAP is well suited for IoT where the bandwidth is limited, frequent changing topology, and where power is constrained.

In this paper, we have designed and implemented a tool that can be used to effectively collect the trace data of multi-agent applications developed using the Java Agent DEvelopment Framework (JADE). The tool can also be used to monitor JADE applications and to report the occurrence of certain events of interest. The collected trace data can be used later by the developer to verify that the current implementation of the multi-agent application under consideration satisfies certain properties. Moreover, monitoring the application at runtime and reporting the occurrence of certain events can significantly help the developers in testing and debugging multi-agent applications.

In this paper, the authors propose a novel approach to search and retrieve authoring information from online authoring databases. The proposed approach combines keywords and semantic-based methods. In this approach, the user can retrieve such information considering some specified keywords and ignore how the internal semantic search is being processed. The keywords entered by the user are internally converted by the system to a semantic query that will be used to search the requested information. The authors then use XHTML-based templates for the automatic construction of BibTeX elements from the query results.
