Sabotaging the quality of the results retrieved by search engines can lead users to doubt the search engine provider. Spam websites can serve as means of phishing. This paper shows a spam host detection approach that uses support vector machines(SVM) for classification. We create a parallel version of standard Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO) to determine free parameters of the SVM classifier and apply our proposed model to a content web spamming dataset, WEBSPAM-UK2011. Our implementation of the parallel PSO is constructed on a pool of threads and each thread executes tasks associated to a particle from the swarm. Experiments showed that our proposed model can achieve a higher accuracy than regular SVM and outperforms other classifiers (C4.5, Naive Bayes). Furthermore, parallel version of standard Particle Swam Optimization(PSO) can efficiently select parameters for SVM.","PeriodicalId":297141,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Automation, Quality and Testing, Robotics","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125444974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The security of SCADA systems represents a significant subject on account of the critical function that these systems perform in offering vital utility services. In nowadays industrial systems ubiquitous access to Internet enhance the vulnerabilities of SCADA systems, for the reason that this allows a remote attacker to obtain control of, or produce interruption to the network critical functions. The attacks affect the network control plane and /or the data plane. Critical infrastructures, requiring uninterrupted operation, maintenance, and protection, have need of robust and secured control SCADA systems. The paper intends to depicts the critical architectural constituents of these systems, detect vulnerabilities and possible threats, and illustrate protection techniques that may be set up in order to reduce attacks involving situation awareness solutions.","PeriodicalId":297141,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Automation, Quality and Testing, Robotics","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115076630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Classical grouping strategies don't take into account the student's personality or the compatibilities of group members. We introduce an alternative grouping method based on the student typologies and their neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) profile. Typologies are determined, according to the Enneagram methodology, based on the RHETI test. The result of such a test is a chief feature (base typology). Groups are composed of members with compatible chief features. Compatibilities are determined according to the Enneagram principle. New grouping correlations were introduced based on MBTI types. The NLP profile is evaluated by an eye-tracking system, based on eye movement patterns. The proposed grouping method was tested using an e-learning environment, which consists of a CMS (Content Management System) and an eye-tracking component. Eye tracking is based on a low-cost solution that uses a regular webcam. Groups created using this method show an increased communication among the members and better practical results. The tests were realized considering Bachelor and Master of Science students in different educational and practical work activities.","PeriodicalId":297141,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Automation, Quality and Testing, Robotics","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132515134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The tibio-tarsal joint represents the transition area between the verticality of the calf and the foot. Along with the subtalar and transverse tarsal joints, it represents a crucial component of the ankle. A Finite Element Model (FEM) of the human tibia, fibula and talus was created, taking into consideration the anatomical characteristics of an average weight male adult. In order to analyze the behavior of the tibio-tarsal joint during static loading, the fore mentioned components were rendered in vertical position, and the relations between components were defined. The biomechanical properties (Young's Modulus, Density and Poisson's Ratio) of the human cortical bone were applied with regard to current literature and research. The resulting assembly was subjected to a uniformly distributed pressure of 0,625 kg/cm2. Displacement, vonMisses Stress and Strain were the selected output parameters. The software used to obtain the respective results was SolidWorks® 2014. Understanding the biomechanical behavior of the tibio-tarsal joint during static as well as dynamic loading is essential in order to formulate objective treatment solutions in case of ankle trauma and fracture.","PeriodicalId":297141,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Automation, Quality and Testing, Robotics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130256900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
