These advertisements are being hosted on supposedly reputed websites and their popularity has been growing however it has been reported in the media that these ads are deploying click bait ads. In this research, these ads were evaluated for a period of one month to study and examine their credibility. It was found that significant percentage of these ads were malicious in nature.

However, during execution of convergent processes some services may fail; in such cases a reconfiguration process must be triggered to recover normal behaviour of composite process. Previous works have developed mechanisms for reducing reconfiguration time while initial restrictions are maintained; this is achieved by replacing regions of services instead of individual services. The present work presents an approach for monitoring and error detecting in convergent processes using rule production systems based on ITIL model. The approach was tested in the monitoring module of the AUTO framework, whose architecture and performance are discussed to show that this approach can efficiently detect errors and repair convergent processes in telecom environments.

The increasing flourish of available services in telecom domain offers more choices to the end user. On the other hand, such wide offer cannot be completely evaluated by the user, and some services may pass unobserved even if useful. To face this issue, the usage of recommendation systems in telecom domain is growing, to directly notify the user about the presence of services which may meet user interests. Recommendation can be seen as an advanced form of personalization, because user preferences are used to predict the interests of users for a new service. In this paper we propose a recommender system for users of telecom services, based on different collaborative filtering algorithms applied to a complex data-set of telecom users. Experiments on the recommendation performance and accuracy are conducted to test the different effects of different algorithms in data ser coming from the a telecom domain.

What all these scenarios have in common is that the adversary is an untrusted entity that attacks a system from the outside—we assume that the computers under attack are operated by benign and trusted users. But if we remove this assumption, if we allow anyone operating a computer system—from system administrators down to ordinary users—to compromise that system's security, we find ourselves in a scenario that has received comparatively little attention

Here two fictional accounts of systems are examined for their insights into the phenomenon known as “Net Centric Computing”. One discusses the implications of an infinitely large library; and the other gives a view of software engineers as knowledge workers in the future. Three ...

In telecom world, JAIN-SLEE (JAIN Service Logic Execution Environment) is an emerging standard specification for Java service platforms targeted to host value added services, composed of telecom and IT services.In this paper we describe StarSLEE platform which extends JAIN-SLEE in order to compose JAIN-SLEE services with Web services and the StarSCE service creation environment which allows exporting value added services as communication web services, and we analyze open issues that must be addressed to introduce Web Services in new telecom service platforms.

Information systems based on CPS typically analyse a massive amount of data collected from various data sources that operate under noisy and dynamic conditions. How to determine the quality and reliability of such data is an open research problem that concerns the overall system safety, reliability and security. Our research goal is to tackle the challenge of real-time data quality assessment for large-scale CPS applications with a hybrid anomaly detection system. In this paper we describe the architecture of HADES, our Hybrid Anomaly DEtection System for sensors data monitoring, storage, processing, analysis, and management. Such data will be filtered with correlation-based outlier detection techniques, and then processed by predictive analytics for anomaly detection.
