Empirical Validation of Automated Vulnerability Curation and Characterization
Prior research has shown that public vulnerability systems such as US National Vulnerability Database (NVD) rely on a manual, time-consuming, and error-prone process which has led to inconsistencies and delays in releasing final vulnerability results. This
In 2022, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) conducted a Language Recognition Evaluation (LRE), which was the latest in an ongoing series of language detection evaluations administered by NIST since 1996. The LREs measure how
Elastically Augmenting the Control-Path Throughput in SDN to Deal with Internet DDoS Attacks
Unobstructed communication between Software Defined Networks (SDN) switches and the controller is vital for SDN's normal operation. We find from measurements, however, that the software control agents on some of the switches have very limited throughput
Digital Twin-Based Cyber-Attack Detection Framework for Cyber-Physical Manufacturing Systems
Smart manufacturing (SM) systems utilize run-time data to improve productivity via intelligent decision-making and analysis mechanisms on both machine and system levels. The increased adoption of cyber-physical systems in SM leads to the comprehensive
Colloquium: Advances in automation of quantum dot devices control
Arrays of quantum dots (QDs) are a promising candidate system to realize scalable, coupled qubit systems and serve as a fundamental building block for quantum computers. In such semiconductor quantum systems, devices now have tens of individual
The purpose of this executive summary is to provide key stakeholders with relevant information about how PSCR spent Public Safety Trust Funds and the impacts of that funding. Furthermore, this report seeks to demonstrate the value and positive outcomes of
Discovery of digital forensic dataset characteristics with CASE-Corpora
The digital forensics community has generated training and reference data over the course of decades. However, significant challenges persist today in the usage pipeline for that data, from research problem formulation, through discovery of applicable
Designing High-Tc Superconductors with BCS-inspired Screening, Density Functional Theory and Deep-learning
Recent advances in first principles calculations and machine learning techniques allow a systematic search for phonon-mediated superconductors. We develop a multi-step workflow for the discovery of conventional superconductors, starting with a Bardeen
Fast Beam Discovery and Adaptive Transmission under Frequency Selective Attenuations in Sub-Terahertz Bands
Sub-THz-based communication needs ultra-large antenna arrays to generate pencil-like beams under the stringent requirements of line-of-sight (LoS) to overcome the effect of the rapid attenuation of signal strength, including atmospheric attenuation. In
Deep Reinforcement Learning Assisted Beam Tracking and Data Transmission for 5G V2X Networks
Beam tracking is a core issue in 5G vehicle-to-everything (V2X) networks. Specifically, higher beamforming gain is required to compensate for the path loss at higher frequencies, e.g., 5G FR2, to realize high data rate vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I)
They're phishing for you: be the one that got away
Cybersecurity has been a topic of increasing importance to the building services community for several years. While fully securing large and complex building systems can be complicated, some basic precautions can easily be applied to any system, and some
