This report presents the work carried out for the image classification task in the course of the CLEF-IP 2011 competition. Based on the visual content, patent images are automatically classified into several drawing types, such as abstract drawings, tables, flow chart and graphs. For that purpose, a series of SVM classifiers, multi-modal fusion schemes and a variety of content-based low-level features for black and white images were used. The overall reported performance was promising. Our best runs achieved a true positive rate of over 66% and the reported average area under curve is over 0.9.

Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) Analysis and Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) are among the most widely used safety analysis procedures in the development of safety-critical and embedded systems. These analyses are generally perceived as complex and time-consuming, hindering an effective reuse of previous results or experiences. In this paper we present a conceptual semantic case-based framework for safety analysis, which facilitates the reuse of previous HAZOP and FMEA experiences in order to reduce the time and effort associated with these analyses. We present the core technologies of the conceptual framework and evaluated a prototype of the framework, KROSA, in an experiment with domain experts at ABB Norway. Initial results confirm the viability of the conceptual framework for industrial application.

Green Security is a new research field defining and investigating security solutions under an energy-aware perspective. Green Security aims at: (1) evaluating the actual security mechanisms in order to assess their energy consumption; (2) building new security mechanisms by considering energy costs from the design phase. In this paper, we first provide a definition of Green Security and formalism to model it, then we provide a use case showing how it is possible to model the energy consumption of two Intrusion Detection System (IDS) strategies, finally we leverage this model to assess the energy leakage due to the late discovery of bad packets.

Security metrics are valuable for measuring and comparing the amount of security provided by different systems and configurations. However, meaningful security metrics for networked systems are significantly difficult to define, evaluate, interpret, and visualize. We design a system that provides security metrics collection, security metrics management, and security metrics visualization for scalable and automatic security analysis. We first identify a set of new security metrics. Then, we show how to collect simple security metrics from the computers in a sample network. Next, we use Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) mechanism to compose two sophisticated security metrics, Criticality and Security Score, which are critical to measure the security risk. We also develop visualization tools to help administrators better understand and evaluate the system security using security metrics.

Abstract Experiment design for quantum channel parameter estimation includes the design of the quantum input to the channel and the observables to be applied on the resulting quantum output system, called the experiment configuration. An experiment design procedure based on maximizing the Fisher information of the qubit Pauli channel parameters is presented in this paper. It can be shown that the Fisher information is a convex function in both the input and the experiment configuration parameters. This leads to an optimal setting that includes pure input states and projective measurements directed towards the channel directions. An iterative method of estimating the channel directions is also proposed.

Robust H ∞ output feedback control problem for a class of switched linear discrete-time systems possessing norm-bounded uncertainty and time-varying delay is investigated. A switched dynamic output feedback controller is sought that can robust exponentially stabilize and reduce to a prescribed level the effect of disturbance input on the controlled output in the closed loop. A delay-dependent linear matrix inequality based sufficient condition for the problem to be solvable is derived via the switched Lyapunov functions. Controller design is performed by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities. An illustrative example along with simulation results is given to demonstrate the validity of these novel derivations.

The robust H ∞ control problem for a class of uncertain switched linear systems by using the variable structure control is investigated. A robust H ∞ single sliding surface is shown to exist as long as a convex combination of the subsystems of the switched system is robustly stabilizable with disturbance attenuation level γ. A switching law is constructed via the single Lyapunov function technique. Variable structure controllers of subsystems are designed so as the resulting closed-loop system guarantees the robust H ∞ performance. An illustrative example and simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.
