Expert Knowledge Is Needed For Design Under Uncertainty: For P-Boxes, Backcalculation Is, In General, Np-Hard, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

In engineering design problems, we want to make sure that a certain quantity c of the designed system lies within given bounds -- or at least that the probability of this quantity to be outside these bounds does not exceed a given threshold. We may have several such requirements -- thus the requirement can be formulated as bounds on the cumulative distribution function F(x) of the quantity c; such bounds are known as a p-box.

The value of the desired quantity c depends on the design parameters a and the parameters b characterizing the environment: c=f(a,b). To achieve the design …

What Is The Best Way To Distribute Efforts Among Students: Towards Quantitative Approach To Human Cognition, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

In a typical class, we have students at different levels of knowledge, student with different ability to learn the material. In the ideal world, we should devote unlimited individual attention to all the students and make sure that everyone learns all the material. In real life, our resources are finite. Based on this finite amount of resources, what is the best way to distribute efforts between different students?

Even when we know the exact way each student learns, the answer depends on what is the objective of teaching the class. This can be illustrated on two extreme example: If the …

A Hidden Markov Model Based Approach To Detect Rogue Access Points, Gayathri Shivaraj

Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations

One of the most challenging security concerns for network administrators is the presence of Rogue access points. The challenge is to detect and disable a Rogue access point before it can cause hazardous damage to the network. This thesis proposes a statistically based approach to detect Rogue access points using a Hidden Markov Model, which is applied to passively measure packet-header data collected at a gateway router or any monitoring point. This approach utilizes variations in packet inter-arrival time to differentiate between authorized access points and Rouge access points. This approach used the inter-arrival time of a packet as a …
