How to estimate artifacts on an iris image in polar domain is an important question for any iris recognition system which pursues high recognition rate as its goal. In literature, there are many different existing algorithm that estimate iris occlusion in either Cartesian or polar coordinate. In this paper, our goal is not to propose another new method to compete with existing method. Rather, our goal is to propose a new algorithm which can take any iris mask estimated by existing algorithm, and refine it into a much more accurate mask. In this way, our proposed method could co-work with any other existing algorithm and improve iris recognition performance. Experimental results show our proposed method can improve iris recognition rate by a great lead compared to the performance of the system using the unrefined iris masks.

Information security requires a method to establish digital credentials that can reliably identify individual users. Since biometrics is concerned with the measurements of unique human physiological or behavioural characteristics, the technology has been used to verify the identity of computer or network users. Given today's heightened security requirements of military as well as other applications such as banking, health care, etc., it is becoming critical to be able to monitor the presence of the authenticated user throughout a session. This paper presents a prototype system that uses facial recognition technology to monitor the authenticated user. The objective is to ensure that the user who is using the computer is the same person that logged onto the system. A neural network-based algorithm is implemented to carry out face detection, and an eigenface method is employed to perform facial recognition. A graphical user interface (GUI) has been developed which allows the performance of face detection and facial recognition to be monitored at run time. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of near-real-time continuous user verification for high-level security information systems.
As the traditional negative selection, clonal selection algorithms predefine one part of antigens to be self (the training set) in intrusion detection applications, but in practice the self is difficult to define and ...

This paper proposes a new multi-objective optimization algorithm - Scored Pareto Mind Evolutionary Computation (SP-MEC), which introduces the theory of Pareto into Mind Evolutionary Computation (MEC) for the multi-objective optimization. In our SP-MEC, the selection of individuals is based on their scores that include the Pareto dominance and density information among the individuals. The SP-MEC is compared with the VEGA, NSGA, SPEA, and Pareto-MEC on the basis of four different test problems: convexity, non-convexity, discreteness, as well as non-uniformity. Especially, both the Pareto-MEC and SPEA have shown promising performances in solving various optimization problems. On the test problems, SP-MEC outperforms all the four reference algorithms concerning three measures: the distance from trade-off front to Pareto-optimal front, the uniformity of solutions, and the spread of solutions. Impersonal termination criterion is used in SP-MEC and Pareto-MEC instead of the preset number of generations in other algorithms. SP-MEC has a higher computational efficiency than the VEGA, NSGA, and SPEA. Compared with another our algorithm, Pareto-MEC, the computational efficiency of SP-MEC is a little lower. However, the solution quality of SP-MEC is higher than that of the Pareto-MEC. Therefore, it can be concluded the SP-MEC is a powerful algorithm for multi-objective optimization.

A new neural network technology was developed to improve the diagnosis of breast cancer using mammogram findings. The paradigm, adaptive boosting (AB), uses a markedly different theory in solving the computationalintelligence (CI) problem. AB, a new machine learning paradigm, focuses on finding weak learning algorithm(s) that initially need to provide slightly better than "random" performance (i.e., approximately 55%) when processing a mammogram training set. By successive development of additional architectures (using the mammogram training set), the adaptive boosting process improves performance of the basic evolutionary programming derived neural network architectures. The results of these several EP-derived hybrid architectures are then intelligently combined and tested using a similar validation mammogram data set. Optimization, focused on improving specificity and positive predictive value at very high sensitivities, with an analysis of the performance of the hybrid would be most meaningful. Using the DUKE mammogram database of 500 biopsy proven samples, this hybrid, on average, was able to achieve (under statistical 5-fold cross-validation) a specificity of 48.3% and a positive predictive value (PPV) of 51.8% while maintaining 100% sensitivity. At 97% sensitivity, a specificity of 56.6% and a PPV of 55.8% were obtained.

The collection of fully refereed high-quality original works accepted as theme papers for presentation at ICCSA 2008 are published in this LNCS proceedings set. This outstanding collection complements the volume of workshop papers, traditionally published by ieee Computer Society. The continuous support of computational science researchers has helped ICCSA to become a ?rmly established forum in the area of scienti?c computing and the conference itself become a recurring scienti?c and professional meeting that cannot be given up. The computational science ?eld, based on fundamental disciplines such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry, is ?nding new computational approaches to foster the human progress in heterogeneous and fundamental areas such as aerospace and automotive industries, bioinformatics and nanotechnology studies, networks and grid computing, computational geometry and biometrics, computer education, virtual reality, and art. Due to the growing complexity of many ch- lenges in computational science, the use of sophisticated algorithms and eme- ing technologies is inevitable. Together, these far-reaching scienti?c areas help to shape this conference in the areas of state-of-the-art computational science research and applications, encompassing the facilitating theoretical foundations and the innovative applications of such results in other areas.
