The 1998 DARPA intrusion detection evaluation created the first standard corpus for evaluating computer intrusion detection systems. This corpus was designed to evaluate both false alarm rates and detection rates of intrusion ...

The mismatch channel capacity per unit cost represents the maximum number of bits per unit cost that can be transmitted reliably across a channel under receiver mismatch conditions. It's reciprocal is the minimal cost of ...

The problem of automatically recognizing an object in an image scene is very difficult. This thesis develops an image-based object recognition algorithm in which information from different features is combined using ...

Overview: This work addresses the problem of Cross Gain Saturation effects in Erbium Amplifier Cascades. Chapter 1 provides an interesting historical perspective on lightwave communications. This chapter serves as a primer ...

Sound localization has been the subject of much ongoing research in the area of beam­formers and microphone arrays. Although these methods have been successful under certain conditions, the signal processing requirements ...

Digital video delivery over an inter-network presents interesting challenges and possi­bilities in today's network environment. The challenges involve dealing with the issues of scalability, data throughput, and reliability ...

In this thesis, I designed and constructed an intelligent microwave capable of automatically determining the time required to properly cook commercially-packaged foods. This research involved creating a database infrastructure ...

Good quantum mechanical descriptions of noise evolution with propagating optical waves are critical to understanding the processes which currently limit the generation of squeezed radiation in nonlinear materials. In the ...
