Formal Methods for Intrusion Detection of Windows NT Attacks

This study develops a method to build Finite State Automaton FSA that models the dependencies between the Operating-System OS-level events recorded in the audit logs of a Windows NT machine. The FSA model contains both sequential and branching relations among audit log events that help the system administrator follow the...

Is software a form of applied mathematics?

Is software a form of applied mathematics?Eh??!?!?!!Maple is a tree.Mathematica is a typo (those "A" and "S" are just too close...);-)Not quite rightBoth M's are symbolic manipulators built on other languages.That doesn't mean they're not scripting languages, it does mean they differ in nature from APL.Maple and Mathematica not computer...

'Aesthetic computing' turns algebra into art

Do you remember your math classes when you were a kid? Were you fascinated by equations or did you feel bored enough to look at the birds through the school's windows? If your answer is the second one, there is hope -- at least for your kids. A professor at...
