Employing Deep Ensemble Learning for Improving the Security of Computer Networks against Adversarial Attacks

In the past few years, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have demonstrated promising performance in various real-world cybersecurity applications, such as network and multimedia security. However, the underlying fragility of CNN structures poses major security problems, making them inappropriate for use in security-oriented applications,...

Using Self-modeling Networks to Model Organisational Learning

Within organisational learning literature, mental models are considered a vehicle for both individual learning and organisational learning. By learning individual mental models (and making them explicit), a basis for formation of shared mental models for the level of the organisation is created, which after its formation can then be adopted by...

Clusus: A cyber range for network attack simulations

This report documents the design and implementation of Clusus, a cyber range to provide students with a safe isolated environment to learn about cyber security and computer networks. This Bachelor project was proposed by the TU Delft cyber security group. During a two week research phase currently existing solutions were evaluated and...

Value creation through network infrastructure automation: The Software-Defined Networking Technology and its business model from the IT service provider’s perspective

Our research is exploring how the computer network technology of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) can benefit an IT service provider. SDN is a novel technology that is capable of managing a whole network based on a single centralized entity. As a result an SDN enabled network becomes more flexible, automatable and programmable to satisfy users’...

Evolving Biologically Inspired Classifiers

This thesis argues that natural complex systems can provide an inspiring example for creating software which incorporates emergent, self-organizing and adaptive properties. The advantages of complex sys- tems are their natural resilience, redundancy and adaptivity. A generalization of neural networks and boolean networks called computational...

DeSiNe: A flow-level QoS simulator of Networks

Classical HPCN geared to application in industry

In The Netherlands as a result of a national HPCN initiative a Foundation HPCN was established in 1995. The purpose of this Foundation is to stimulate structural and lasting cooperation of universities, technological institutes and industry in economically relevant applications of HPCN. Projects have been selected and since the beginning of 1996...

SPINE: Software platform for computer supported co-operative work in heterogenous computer and software environments

In development of High Performance Computing and Networking (HPCN) for simulation applications several targets have to be realized. It is recpiired to maximize not only computational speed but also to maximize applicability in engineering environments. For applications in which HPCN-based simulations are economically and technically necessary...

De netwerkvoorzieningen op het NLR ten behoeve van het supercomputergebruik - Data communication network at NLR for supercomputer usage

For the development of methods for aerospace research and development at NLR large computer facilities are available, among which a NEC SX-2 supercomputer, a Control Data Cyber 180-855 mainframe and various minicomputers and workstation. To provide users a good access to the various systems a high speed computer network is defined, existing of a...

CAD-systemen voor overdracht van kennis

The NLR in the Netherlands renders scientific support and technical assistance for the design and operation of aircraft and spacecraft. The approach of NLR can be characterized by integration of experimental and theoretical investigations. For this an integrated computer and terminal network has been developed that links both NLR laboratory...

An hierarchic multi-suppliers computer network of a research laboratory with two settlements

For the aerospace laboratory NLR in the Netherlands the considerations are discussed that formed the basis of along-term plan to realize an optimal computer network. In the optimization process up to now the laboratory switched from a situation in which in each of both settlements one central close shop computer centre was available to a...
