In this paper, different traceback methodologies are introduced. In addition, our key observations about one of the techniques, which could help in an enhancement, are presented.","PeriodicalId":409910,"journal":{"name":"2011 3rd Computer Science and Electronic Engineering Conference (CEEC)","volume":"15 12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127644788","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 usage of formal logic reduces ambiguity and allows for accurate reasoning and studying of micro-behaviour. Using a simple event-calculus based market model, we simulate the clearance dynamics of a double-auction market. In this paper, we demonstrate the power of event calculus in defining and explaining step by step the consequences of placing an order into the market and the resulting market state transitions. Using the same logic, we show how market stability and risk can be assessed, by examining the potential effect of large orders on the market. The model used here is much simpler than the complex real market. However, this paper illustrates the high potentiality of a new approach like event-calculus in studying and formalizing complex market models.","PeriodicalId":409910,"journal":{"name":"2011 3rd Computer Science and Electronic Engineering Conference (CEEC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131287041","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}

This is predominantly due to room modes in small, closed spaces. Numerous methodologies have been proposed targeting room mode compensation to give an objectively even response across all listening locations. These techniques cannot guarantee, however, that every listener receives an equally pleasing subjective response. Chameleon subwoofer arrays (CSA) were originally developed to minimize low-frequency spatiotemporal variations by addressing frequency response errors at multiple listening locations using a subwoofer system consisting of multiple degrees of freedom. The CSA system can alternatively be utilized to control listening locations independently, allowing each listener to adjust their localized low-frequency response to their liking. This alternate CSA implementation is evaluated using a bespoke finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm for small home theater applications.","PeriodicalId":409910,"journal":{"name":"2011 3rd Computer Science and Electronic Engineering Conference (CEEC)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115059479","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}

This type of online gaming can serve many purposes such as entertainment, social interaction, information exchange and education and is now an integral part of many people's lives particularly the younger generation. This research study investigates the use of openly available MMORPGs to supplement second language teaching for higher education students. MMORPGs provide informal virtual worlds in which students can communicate in their second language with people from across the globe. The research approach combines ethnography and action research in the virtual and real worlds. In the real world the researcher observes the interaction with the MMORPGs by the students both through their informal discussion in the classroom and through screen video captures of their game play in the MMORPG. In addition the researcher takes on the role of a character within the MMORPG allowing for observation inside the virtual world from the viewpoint of another game character. Through action research, the researcher observes, plans and then interacts with the students' MMORPG characters within the game. This enables the researcher to provide anonymous but tailored support to the students including advice on the game play, a confidence boost where needed, a friendly face where needed and some support around language issues. In the real world, action research is also used to provide tutorial exercises and discussions based on the students' experiences with the MMORPG, facilitating further enhancement opportunities for their language development. This paper concludes that MMORPGs provide a safe, relaxed and engaging environment in which students can practice and improve their language skills.","PeriodicalId":409910,"journal":{"name":"2011 3rd Computer Science and Electronic Engineering Conference (CEEC)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126137666","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}

BCI users may control this activity by concentrating on a specific mental task. Motor imagery (MI) executions have become the most used mental task by BCI-groups. Despite a large number of references describing the theoretical framework of MI-based BCIs, there is not enough information related to the available computer software that could be suitable to develop a specific-purpose, efficient and straightforward BCI. Therefore, the aims of this paper are: (1) to develop a MI-based BCI system making use of Python programming language, and (2) to study MI signals of three users via the proposed BCI system in order to adapt a computer for posterior applications. The use of Python along with plug-ins for developing MI-based BCI systems is not only feasible, but also it is proficient. Moreover, the Python community provides extensive variety of tools to design compelling systems.","PeriodicalId":409910,"journal":{"name":"2011 3rd Computer Science and Electronic Engineering Conference (CEEC)","volume":"31 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123156192","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}

Configuring firewalls is a complex task and can be very error prone. To move rules between firewalls, many factors need to be considered to ensure the global security policy remains unchanged. In this paper we present a novel method which describes how to move rules between the firewalls and what, if any, changes need to be made to the rule(s). With this work we have also presented a generic network model which can be applied to any network topology and therefore allows the method for moving rules to be applied to any network topology (so long as it meets the criteria). Applications of the work include improving the network bandwidth utilisation, when unwanted traffic is filtered out early, and also improving the processing loads on each firewall, thus reducing delays and increasing traffic throughput. Factors to be considered when moving filtering rules include the relationships which can exist between filtering rules. Naive removal and insertion of filtering rules can alter inter-rule relationships and therefore also alter the security policy - the method we present ensures the security policy remains unchanged.","PeriodicalId":409910,"journal":{"name":"2011 3rd Computer Science and Electronic Engineering Conference (CEEC)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125942687","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}
