...GAME THEORY Game theory has found its applications in numerous fields such as Economics, Social Science, Political Science, and Evolutionary Biology. Game theory is now finding its applications in computer science. The nature of computing is changing because of success of Internet and the revolution in Information technology. The advancement in technologies have made it possible to commoditize the components such as network, computing, storage and software. In the new paradigm, there are multiple entities (hardware, software agents, protocols etc.) that work on behalf of different autonomous bodies (such as a user, a business etc.) and provide services to other similar entities. Internet has made is possible for many such geographically distributed antonymous entities to interact with each other and provide various services. These entities will work for their respective owners to achieve their individual goals (maximize their individual payoffs), as opposed to obtaining a system optima (that is socially desirable). This results in an entirely different paradigm of computing where the "work" is performed in a completely distributed/decentralized fashion by different entities where the primary objective of each entity is to maximize the objective of its owner. Therefore, it is important to study traditional computer science concepts such as algorithm design, protocols, and performance optimization under a game-theoretic model. This course aims to provide a basic understanding...

...Interaction between users and computational artefacts occurs at an interface which includes both software and hardware. Interface design impacts the software life-cycle in that it should occur early; the design and implementation of core functionality can influence the user interface – for better or worse. Because it deals with people as well as computers, as a knowledge area HCI draws on a variety of disciplinary traditions including psychology, computer science, product design, anthropology and engineering.

...System in Cloud Computing TOPICS * Introduction * What is IDS? * What is Cloud Computing? * Intrusion Detection System in Cloud Computing * Conclusion * References 1. Introduction Today, many organizations are moving their computing services towards the Cloud. This makes their computer processing available much more conveniently to users. However, it also brings new security threats and challenges about safety and reliability. In fact, Cloud Computing is an attractive and cost-saving service for buyers as it provides accessibility and reliability options for users and scalable sales for providers. In spite of being attractive, Cloud feature poses various new security threats and challenges when it comes to deploying Intrusion Detection System (IDS) in Cloud environments. Most Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) are designed to handle specific types of attacks. It is evident that no single technique can guarantee protection against future attacks. Hence, there is a need for an integrated scheme which can provide robust protection against a complete spectrum of threats. Therefore, in this term paper, I will emphasize on recent implementations of IDS on Cloud Computing environments in terms of security and privacy. I propose an effective and efficient model termed as the Integrated Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS) which combines both IDS and IPS in a single mechanism. Mine mechanism also integrates two techniques namely, Anomaly Detection...

Jesse wants me to recommend a vendor who offers an ERP strategy. I need to review SAP and Oracle Web sites, and at least two others that offer ERP solutions, and reply to her with the results and the reasons for my recommendations. Answers will vary. Students should realize that SCR foresees a dynamic future. With this in mind, an ERP strategy would be highly desirable. Students should have a basic understanding of ERP. When they research on the Internet, students should be able to find more material they can use in their recommendations. For reference purposes, the following screens are provided: [pic] [pic] 2. Visit SCR’s data library to review SCR’s network configuration and then send Jesse a recommendation for the TIMS system architecture.

...kinds of defects that are likely to trigger warranty repairs if they reach customers. For warranty purposes, there are four general categories of software defects that are of concern because they tend to be significant in product liability litigation: 1. Errors of commission, where something is done that is wrong. A classic example at the code level would be going through a loop one time too many or branching to the wrong address. An example of this kind of error at the specification level was noted in an IBM software specification where the data format for information being transmitted was different from the format expected by the receive function of the same application. An example of this kind of problem in user manuals is frequently found in usage instructions, where the command sequence in the user manual differs from what the software really uses. Many applications are shipped with "READ MW files which explain last-minute changes that were noted after printing of manuals occurred. 2. Errors of omission, where something was left out by accident. A minor but common example for code would be omitting one of the parentheses in nested expressions. In requirements and specifications, another common error of omission is to leave out discussions of opposites. For example, a specification might say "users must enter a valid personal security code...

...Abbreviated version of this report is published as "Trends in Computer Science Research" Apirak Hoonlor, Boleslaw K. Szymanski and M. Zaki, Communications of the ACM, 56(10), Oct. 2013, pp.74-83 An Evolution of Computer Science Research∗ Apirak Hoonlor, Boleslaw K. Szymanski, Mohammed J. Zaki, and James Thompson Abstract Over the past two decades, Computer Science (CS) has continued to grow as a research field. There are several studies that examine trends and emerging topics in CS research or the impact of papers on the field. In contrast, in this article, we take a closer look at the entire CS research in the past two decades by analyzing the data on publications in the ACM Digital Library and IEEE Xplore, and the grants awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). We identify trends, bursty topics, and interesting inter-relationships between NSF awards and CS publications, finding, for example, that if an uncommonly high frequency of a specific topic is observed in publications, the funding for this topic is usually increased. We also analyze CS researchers and communities, finding that only a small fraction of authors attribute their work to the same research area for a long period of time, reflecting for instance the emphasis on novelty (use of new keywords) and typical academic research teams (with core faculty and more rapid turnover of students and postdocs). Finally, our work highlights the dynamic research landscape in CS, with its focus constantly ...

...The Intelligent Essay Assessor: Applications to Educational Technology Peter W. Foltz, New Mexico State University Darrell Laham, Knowledge Analysis Technologies Thomas K. Landauer, University of Colorado Abstract The Intelligent Essay Assessor (IEA) is a set of software tools for scoring the quality of essay content. The IEA uses Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA), which is both a computational model of human knowledge representation and a method for extracting semantic similarity of words and passages from text. Simulations of psycholinguistic phenomena show that LSA reflects similarities of human meaning effectively. To assess essay quality, LSA is first trained on domain-representative text. Then student essays are characterized by LSA representations of the meaning of the words used, and they are compared with essays of known quality in regard to their degree of conceptual relevance and the amount of relevant content. Over many diverse topics, the IEA scores agreed with human experts as accurately as expert scores agreed with each other. Implications are discussed for incorporating automatic essay scoring in more general forms of educational technology. 1. Introduction While writing is an essential part of the educational process, many instructors find it difficult to incorporate large numbers of writing assignments in their courses due to the effort required to evaluate them. However, the ability to convey information verbally is an important educational achievement...
