Speaker: Dalia Kriksciuniene, Assoc.prof.dr. (ERCIM researcher at Masaryk University, Brno, Czech) Title: Anomaly detection methods and applications Abstract: Numerous statistical, econometrical and intelligent methods are researched in the scientific works and industrial applications for finding repeating patterns and approximated distribution rules of data series. The main problem experienced by the scientific research is lack of regularities and rather chaotic nature of real data. That hinders performance of the forecasting methods based on finding regularities in data distribution, limits their application to analytics of historical data repositories, and reveals high unreliability of the models to react to occurring external impacts for real-time data streams.  The current research aims to explore application of computational analysis methods for detecting behaviour anomalies. The methods and the principles of anomaly detection are analysed from the theoretical perspective and evaluated for their ability to serve for analysis, forecasting and designing optimal strategies for the enterprises operation in various application domains.  They include analysis of anomalies of the financial markets, caused by changes of investor activeness due to different calendar effects, impacts of various media announcements and news, fluctuations of market situations, including crises and bubbles. The anomaly detection is important in the areas of facility management based on sensor data system, detection of network intrusions and performance failures. The results of currently published research cover several methods for detecting behaviour anomalies including information efficiency evaluation methods (Shannon's entropy, Hurst exponent), event impacts explored by the methods of interrupted time series, and evaluation of binary clustering algorithms. The research results are evaluated by discussing the potential power of explored methods for detection behaviour anomalies in the expanding research area of Big Data.

Invent a Chip/AT ist ein Wettbewerb für technikbegeisterte Schüler, die in die Welt der Technik und Chipentwicklung eintauchen und eigene Chip-Ideen realisieren möchten. Basierend auf dem seit mehr als einem Jahrzehnt in Deutschland durchgeführten gleichnamigen Wettbewerb, ist die österreichische Initiative von OVE, TU Wien, JKU und weiteren Partnern ins Leben gerufen worden. Nach einem sehr erfolgreichen Start geht Invent a Chip in Österreich 2012 in seine nunmehr dritte Runde.

Haya Shulman  (Department of Computer Science; Bar Ilan University; Ramat Gan, Israel) will give a 3h tutorial on DNS and present her research (and related research of others) on Dec 13, 2pm (@SBA).     --- ABSTRACT --- Most caching DNS resolvers still rely for their security, against poisoning, on validating that the DNS responses contain some ‘unpredictable’ values, copied from the request. These values include the 16 bit identifier field, and other fields, randomised and validated by different ‘patches’ to DNS. We investigate the prominent patches, and show how off-path attackers can circumvent all of them, exposing the resolvers to cache poisoning attacks. We present countermeasures preventing our attacks; however, we believe that our attacks provide additional motivation for adoption of DNSSEC (or other MitM-secure defenses). We then investigate vulnerabilities in DNSSEC configuration among resolvers and zones, which reduce or even nullify the protection offered by DNSSEC. Finally we provide our recommendations and countermeasures to prevent the vulnerabilities.

 Dr. Olivia NEMETHOVA:  EXPLOITING INVENTIONS The talk shall provide some considerations on how to assess whether an idea is an invention, what to do with an invention, possibilities of protecting an invention by intellectual property rights and possibilities of exploiting the protection.  Accordingly, the talk shall start with understanding the term “invention” in the sense of the intellectual property right including examples from practice.  Moreover, basis for deciding whether or not to seek protection for the invention as well as the possible kinds of protection, their advantages and disadvantages will be discussed.  The grant procedure will be briefly summarized with focus on the European practice.  Finally, an overview will be given regarding litigation and revocation procedures, including some recent examples.

On 20th November 2012, the IEEE Student Branch JKU Linz organized an excursion to the Voest Alpine. All 26 participants met at the entrance of the Voest Stahlwelt which opened to the public in 2009 and which strikes the eye with its interesting architecture. We started off with a tour guide around the "museum" part of the company where we got an insight and explanation about the steel production and its history (particularly to vest alpine related).   Afterwards, the actual plant tour took place. With a special tour bus, we passed each station on the production area. We saw run-off at the biggest blast furnace at Linz and a we could take a look at the hot rolling factory.   Our last stop of the excursion was in the office building at the conference room "New York". Each conference room had a different name corresponding to different cities of the world. The architecture of the office building was very unique due to its modern features with much use of glass. The participants got the chance to get in touch with two former JKU mechatronics students who are currently employed in the company. They told us about how they got there and what their everyday life looked like. During our two hour discussion time, we were also provided with a small buffet. It was a good chance for the students to learn which opportunities they had and to learn useful tips from the two mechatronics graduates.
