Background: While smart objects are present in our cities everywhere, the real aim of the Internet of Things is not turned into reality yet. Each smart object is still designated to a specific task and requires proprietary procedures for interaction. Thus, it becomes more necessary to have a connection platform for abstracting the complexity of smart objects and to present their data to the end-users through a simpler interac Read More

Objectives: The paper presents performance analysis of centralised and decentralised architecture of IoT sensor networks. Two most popular security mechanisms for Sensor Networks based on their energy consumption, which may lead to poor performance of the IoT system, are also evaluated. The Internet of Things (IoT) technology aims to improve easy access to the information needed using devices. Observations: Read More

Background: Predicting attacker's behavior plays an important role in network security assessment. Attack graphs systematically classify the possible intrusion paths against a system. For our purpose, we assume the attack graph structure comprised of states and transitions between them. Each state represents an attack phase (or adversarial action) and each transition indicates a possible action of attacker. Objective Read More

Aims: Software Test Suite Optimization (TSO) is a common approach for generating efficient test data in lesser time. This paper presents an efficient methodology for automatic generation of independent paths and TSO with the help of Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) investigating technique. Method: The proposed work combines both global search methods (by scout bees) and local search methods (performed by employee b Read More

Aims: Network security commonly uses internet protocol (IP) filtering solutions. Anonymous proxies (anonymizers) act as a gateway to the resource, meaning that filters will be bypassed, another feature of anonymizers is that they will not give out the user's IP address or any other detail about the user, the network will see the request come from the anonymizer service. Objectives: This leads to a large range of pot Read More

History: The countries of the European Union have faced one of the worst financial and economic crises of the recent history. The crisis impacts several social - economic indicators with multiple effects on societies and market sectors such as the Information and Communication Sector (ICT), which has been identified as a key factor for social and economic growth. Objectives: Although there are several studies that deal with t Read More
