Malicious software poses a great risk to critical infrastructure. Researchers have proposed numerous ways to analyze malware behavior in order to understand and respond to this threat. However, only little attention has been paid to the organization of the malware analysis process itself. In this paper we present the Malware Analysis and Storage System (MASS), a novel framework for malware analysis...
The DevOps phenomenon is gaining popularity through its ability to support continuous value delivery and ready accommodation of change. However, given the relative immaturity and general confusion about DevOps, a common view of expectations from a DevOps role is lacking. Through investigation of online job advertisements, combined with interviews, we identified key Knowledge Areas, Skills and Capabilities...
This article aims to describe, in brief, the formation process of the Pedagogical Standard for the Analysis of Virtual Learning Environments. This Standard is a tool that is intended to aid subjects in the process of choosing a particular Virtual Learning Environment through an analysis including the pedagogical aspects of these environments. The qualitative approach was adopted in the methodological...
We present the design of a scalable visual toolfor the analysis of high-throughput network traffic, powerconsumption and cluster-based system resource allocation. The tool explores the possibility of visualizing remote anddistributed resources over large distances by using SAGE2, a collaborative framework for large scale display systems. Programmable networks and distributed cloud resources allowaccessibility...
Data Analytics has proven its importance in knowledge discovery and decision support in different data and application domains. Big data analytics poses a serious challenge in terms of the necessary hardware and software resources. The cloud technology today offers a promising solution to this challenge by enabling ubiquitous and scalable provisioning of the computing resources. However, there are...
Collaboration among cyber security analysts is essential to a successful protection strategy on the Internet today. Time and effort are common barriers to collaboration. We propose an ambient collaboration framework, called Vulcan, designed to remove those barriers and mitigate others. By applying concepts developed in the context of e-commerce - specifically collaborative filtering - and instrumenting...
A method of applying agent technology to study agricultural economic information and construct decision-making system was provided by means of analyzing the problems existed in current assistant decision support system. The design idea and development technologies were discussed. The prototype of agent-based agricultural economic information analysis and decision-making system was built, and realize...
Law enforcement officers deal with various challenges regarding the management of information during an investigation. New information comes in frequently, some of it is uncertain, incorrect, or incomplete. Officers should be supported in developing interpretations of the provided information. Furthermore, it is beneficial (and demanded by some investigation methodologies) to record the progression...
Wikis, best represented by the popular and highly successful Wikipedia system, have established themselves as important components of a collaboration infrastructure. We suggest that the complex network of user-contributors in volunteer-contributed wikis constitutes a digital ecosystem that bears all the characteristics typical of such systems. This paper presents an analysis supporting this notion...
Among major UML diagrams, the collaboration diagram is less used by the software industry than others in object-oriented software engineering (OOSE). Despite the belief that the sequence diagram is both similar to and more useful than the collaboration diagram, the latter remains very useful for teaching OOSE through student projects. This paper compares the two diagrams, discusses the importance...
Collaborative activity performed over specific platforms, designed for such purpose, can provide a deep knowledge about the roles, intentions and effects regarding participants and their interaction among themselves and with the knowledge objects available. This study aims at proposing a structured process for gathering the semantics of the activity hidden behind the raw data collected in log files...
Information visualization leverages the human visual system to support the process of sensemaking, in which information is collected, organized, and analyzed to generate knowledge and inform action. Though most research to date assumes a single-user focus on perceptual and cognitive processes, in practice, sensemaking is often a social process involving parallelization of effort, discussion, and consensus...
