Enabling change-driven workflows in continuous information security management

Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) aim at ensuring proper protection of information values and information processing systems (i.e., assets). Information Security Risk Management (ISRM) techniques are incorporated in ISMSs to deal with threats and vulnerabilities that impose risks to information security properties of these assets. The ongoing evolution of information systems as well as the ever-changing threat landscape requires enterprises to adopt new approaches to ensure the consistent compliance with their information security goals. The great challenge enterprises are facing is to efficiently deal with all changes to their assets, their risk exposure and the impact of these changes to their ISMS and ISRM activities. We present a model-based approach for continuous information security management based on semi-automated workflows triggered by changes of the underlying asset catalogue, the operational environment and the threat landscape. The prototypical implementation was evaluated in a real-world industrial setting demonstrating high usability when integrating stakeholders from different domains in a continuous risk management process.
The Introduction of Bitcoin Futures: An Examination of Volatility and Potential Spillover Effects

Theory in Stein (1987) suggests that introducing derivative contracts, such as futures, can destabilize underlying asset prices if the contracts attract enough speculative traders. This paper examines how the introduction of Bitcoin futures influences the underlying Bitcoin market. Consistent with Stein (1987), we find that that Bitcoin's volatility increases significantly during the post-introduction period. Perhaps more importantly, however, we observe significant spillover effects into related markets. For instance, in other cryptocurrencies, the increase in volatility in these markets is greater than the post-introduction increase in Bitcoin.
Introduction to Stream Ciphers

The word cryptology comes from two Greek roots meaning “hidden” and “word”, and is the generic name used to describe the entire field of secret communications. Cryptology clearly splits into two opposite but complementary disciplines: cryptography and cryptanalysis. Cryptography seeks methods to ensure the secrecy of a confidential message, while cryptanalysis seeks to break such methods in order to recover the confidential message. In fact, the original message upon which the cryptographer applies the cryptographic transformation is called the plaintext message, or simply the plaintext. The result of this transformation is called the ciphertext message, or simply the ciphertext, or most often the cryptogram.

A type system for first-class layers with inheritance, subtyping, and swapping

Context-Oriented Programming (COP) is a programming paradigm to encourage modularization of context-dependent software. Key features of COP are layers---modules to describe context-dependent behavioral variations of a software system---and their dynamic activation, which can modify the behavior of multiple objects that have already been instantiated. Typechecking programs written in a COP language is difficult because the activation of a layer can even change objects' interfaces. Inoue et al. have informally discussed how to make JCop, an extension of Java for COP by Appeltauer et al., type-safe. In this article, we formalize a small COP language called ContextFJ$_{<:}$ with its operational semantics and type system and show its type soundness. The language models main features of the type-safe version of JCop, including dynamically activated first-class layers, inheritance of layer definitions, layer subtyping, and layer swapping.
The Impact of Technology Platform Change on the Information Seeking Behavior of Academicians in Amhara

This study empirically measures the information seeking behavior of academician on the rapid technology platform change environment in the technology institutes found in Amhara Region, Ethiopia. The questionnaire was prepared and distributed to the academicians of technology institutes to collect information about the medium which was used for seeking information. The questions were how devices helped to seek information, the purpose of the information, and challenges faced while seeking information and measure of satisfaction level for the digital library in the institutes. Hence, the study reveals that users used portable devices to seek information from the internet and the digital library rather than using printed copies of information for their academic, research and community service activities. The results show that the information dissemination medium should be changed to electronic information due to the rapid growth of information and communication technology that impacts the information seeking behavior of users, and provide continuous support and training to use the electronic resources.
Mitigating the Influence of Embedded Software Development Environments and Toolsets (ESDT) on Software Architecture

One of the first tasks in engineering embedded systems is the selection of the hardware; more specifically, the MicroController Units (MCUs). This selection is driven by business, technical, organizational, and legal constraints. Often, the hardware is delivered together with proprietary environments in which the software to be deployed has to be developed. This imposes architecturally significant constraints that are usually communicated inappropriately (in terms of time and format) to the engineering team. Examples are the usage of proprietary data types and programming language constructs (e.g., macros in C) and limitations to the reuse of existing software assets. To overcome this challenge, we propose an approach that has two main constituents: (i) the Embedded System Checklist, which aims at guiding the selection of MCUs according to the architecture constraints; and (ii) the Embedded System ESDT Dependency (SED) Architecture View, which connects the software design view with the technical view, describing hardware-related development environment limitations and their influences on the software architecture. We evaluated the application of these concepts in two industrial projects and show that making these dependencies transparent saves a lot of effort during software system development.

Different Specialties, Different Gaze Strategies

Identifying how geoscientists interact with seismic images allows a deeper understanding of their rationale and the seismic interpretation process itself. Moreover, identifying nuances involving seismic interpreters performing slightly different roles opens new possibilities relative to how decision support systems could become part of the seismic interpretation. In this work, we detail an eye tracking study involving 11 seismic interpreters interacting with two seismic images. The results show that seismic interpreters, with different specialties, interact with seismic images differently. From the results, it is possible to better characterize gaze strategies from different seismic interpreters, which could also be used as input information for decision support systems.
Implicit User Calibration for Model-based Gaze-tracking System using Face Detection around Optical Axis of Eye

In recent studies of gaze tracking system using 3D model-based methods, the optical axis of the eye is estimated without user calibration. The remaining problem for achieving implicit user calibration is to estimate the difference between the optical axis and visual axis of the eye (angle kappa). In this paper, we propose an implicit user calibration method using face detection around the optical axis of the eye. We assume that the peak of the average of face region images indicates the visual axis of the eye in the eye coordinate system. The angle kappa is estimated as the difference between the optical axis of the eye and the peak of the average of face region images. We developed a prototype system with two cameras and two IR-LEDs. The experimental results showed that the proposed method can estimate the angle kappa more accurately than the method that uses Itti's saliency map instead of face detection.

Essential Parameters of ASMAN Framework to Compare SSPs in Cloud Computing

SaaS Quality of parameter (QoS) is another prominent issue in this rapidly growing SaaS hosting environment and it becomes very important to evaluate attributes of SaaS quality while selecting a SaaS service. Many research works has paid their attention to select appropriate SaaS provider after evaluating several key parameters of SaaS delivery model. SaaS Quality of Service (QoS) parameters are the most important key attribute to compare a provider for adopting a service, but there is a wider range of key parameters are available and it is a very crucial issue that what kind of parameters should be consider while adopting a service. It is a major problem to set criteria of service parameters, for SaaS users as well as for providers. Therefore, we observed that there is a need to set a certain criteria of parameters. There are some common parameters for every SaaS consumer and provider to access their services and applications (Yongwen Liu et al., 2016). Our research work is going to develop a SaaS selecting model named; ASMAN and this model is considering a set of parameters as ACRSU category respectively, Availability, Cost, Reliability, Speed, and Usability.
Balancing Interaction Design

Over the last two decades, creative, lean and strategic design approaches have become increasingly prevalent in the development of interactive technologies, but tensions exist with longer established approaches such as human factors engineering and user-centered design. These tensions can be harnessed productively by first giving equal status in principle to creative, business and agile engineering practices, and then supporting this with flexible critical approaches and resources that can balance and integrate across a range of multidisciplinary design practices.

Flexible and Efficient Algorithms for Abelian Matching in Genome Sequence

Approximate matching in strings is a fundamental and challenging problem in computer science and in computational biology, and increasingly fast algorithms are highly demanded in many applications including text processing and dna sequence analysis. Recently efficient solutions to specific approximate matching problems on genomic sequences have been designed using a filtering technique, based on the general abelian matching problem, which firstly locates the set of all candidate matching positions and then perform an additional verification test on the collected positions. The abelian pattern matching problem consists in finding all substrings of a text which are permutations of a given pattern. In this paper we present a new class of algorithms based on a new efficient fingerprint computation approach, called Heap-Counting, which turns out to be fast, flexible and easy to be implemented. We prove that, when applied for searching short patterns on a dna sequence, our solutions have a linear worst case time complexity. In addition we present an experimental evaluation which shows that our newly presented algorithms are among the most efficient and flexible solutions in practice for the abelian matching problem in dna sequences.

Based on the Petri net's reachable tree algorithm, the phase division of the command and control process was proposed, which provided decision support for process optimization and improvement.
Ugosta: Virtual Stamp Rally System

This paper proposes a virtual stamp rally system called Ugosta, and also describes the actual achievements of its prototype. A virtual stamp rally is an activity that the avatar of a player visits several places in a virtual world and collect the imprints of stamps placed there. Ugosta is a system that provides an environment where a user plays a virtual stamp rally seeing scenery images of various points on the earth in conjunction with the operation of an exercise equipment such as an exercise bike or a treadmill. It is currently being developed in order to promote adherence of exercise that uses such an equipment. In this kind of exercise, some users feel not only sense of accomplishment, but also sense of boredom. Ugosta uses a virtual stamp rally to increase sense of accomplishment, and uses scenery images to decrease sense of boredom. The prototype of the system has been displayed in a lot of exhibitions and actual scenes, and the favorable reviews for it has been gotten from many participants.

Data Driven Regularization for Convolutional Neural Networks on Image Classification

Deep Convolutional Neural Network has shown significant improvements in many fields of computer vision, and a series of researches are proposed to explore advanced model structures to attenuate the problem of over-fitting. In this paper, two data driven techniques are designed including SwitchNode and SwitchConnect, which employ the sparsity of deterministic data to regularize convolutional neural network models. Specifically, the proposed SwitchNode method switches from the redundant nodes which have similar activations and spatial information to new initialization nodes, while the SwitchConnect method retrains replaceable convolutional kernels. The effectiveness of the proposed data driven regularization methods has been verified by the performance gain experimented on several benchmark image classification datasets.
Security Testing of a User-Participating Authentication Scheme Implementation on Web-Based Login System

Authentication is part of the security services. From a variety of authentication methods available today, there is one scheme named user-participation authentication scheme (UPA Scheme) which not only focusing on user authentication, also provide a guarantee of human participation in the authentication process. The scheme intended for authentication in online applications such as e-learning, online polls, online ticket-order system, and more. In this study, the implementation of UPA scheme and security testing has been completed. Testing was carried out using OWASP-AT-008 with the result that the UPA scheme had guaranteed human participation, besides it also found weaknesses in the UPA scheme against man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.
