Cloudslam09:Building a Cloud Computing Analysis System for Intrusion DetectionWei-Yu Chen
In order to resolve huge amount of anomaly
information generated by Intrusion Detection System (IDS), this paper presents and evaluates a log analysis system for IDS based on Cloud Computing technique,
named IDS Cloud Analysis System (ICAS). To achieve this, there are two basic components have to be designed. First is the regular parser, which normalizes
the raw log files. The other is the Analysis Procedure, which contains Data Mapper and Data Reducer. The Data Mapper is designed to anatomize alert messages and the Data Reducer is used to aggregates and merges. As a result, this paper will show that the
performance of ICAS is suitable for analyzing and reducing large alerts.
Capturing the Ineffable: Collecting, Analysing, and Automating Web Document ...Davide Ceolin
This document discusses a study aimed at capturing and automating assessments of web document quality. The study collected quality assessments from experts on documents about vaccinations. Assessors rated dimensions like accuracy, completeness, and neutrality. The assessments showed consistency among users and predictability of up to 89% accuracy using machine learning. Key findings were that assessment consistency depended more on the assessment task than subjectivity, and that document features alone did not predict quality well. Future work involves expanding the dataset and analyses to further develop automated quality assessment.

It is one of three types of nonveneered panels, made of long, strandlike wood
particles compressed and glued into three to five layers. The strands are oriented in the
same manner in each layer as the grains of the veneer layers in plywood. Because of the
length and controlled orientation of the strands, OSB is generally stronger and stiffer
than the other two types.

They are made in mills
by passing hot steel
rods through a
succession of rollers
that press them into the
desired shape. They
are round in cross
section, and the
