Enhancing Host Based Intrusion Detection Systems with Danger Theory of Artificial Immune Systems 

Amer, Suhair (2008-05-15)
Rather than discriminating activity by belonging to self or non-self, danger theory extends its discrimination to be between non-self but harmless and self but harmful. The danger theory states that the system does not ...

Enhancing Image Resolvability in Obscured Environments Using 3D Deconvolution and a Plenoptic Camera 

Bolan, Jeffrey (2015-05-08)
