Time-Dependence in Multi-Agent MDP Applied to Gate Assignment Problem

Author 1: Oussama AOUN Author 2: Abdellatif EL AFIA

Many disturbances can impact gate assignments in daily operations of an airport. Gate Assignment Problem (GAP) is the main task of an airport to ensure smooth flight-to-Gate assignment managing all disturbances. Or, flights schedule often undergoes some unplanned disruptions, such as weather conditions, gate availability or simply a delay that… Read full abstract & cite →

A Novel DDoS Floods Detection and Testing Approaches for Network Traffic based on Linux Techniques

Author 1: Muhammad Tahir Author 2: Mingchu Li Author 3: Naeem Ayoub Author 4: Usman Shehzaib Author 5: Atif Wagan

In Today’s Digital World, the continuous interruption of users has affected Web Servers (WSVRs), through Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. These attacks always remain a massive warning to the World Wide Web (WWW). These warnings can interrupt the accessibility of WSVRs, completely by disturbing each data processing before intercommunication properties over… Read full abstract & cite →
