Current Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) examine all data features to detect intrusion or misuse patterns. Some of the features may be redundant or contribute little (if anything)...
—The first hitting time (FHT) plays an important role in convergence evaluation for evolutionary algorithms. However, the current criteria of the FHT are mostly under a hypothesi...
A flexible neural network (FNN) is a multilayer feedforward neural network with the characteristics of: (1) overlayer connections; (2) variable activation functions for different...
In this work we examined the performance of two evolutionary algorithms, a genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), in the estimation of the parameters of a mo...

—In this paper, we introduce a novel method to solve shape alignment problems. We use gray-scale “images” to represent source shapes, and propose a novel two-component Gaussi...
