Detection of critical infrastructure devices on the public Internet

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are sometimes exposed on the public Internet. It is possible to quickly and efficiently identify such exposed services. They are commonly part of critical infrastructure, so they need to be protected against cyber attacks. In the past, researchers have scanned the Internet to detect such...

Illumination normalization for Industry 4.0: Specular reflection removal from non-dielectrics

With the introduction of machine learning algorithms in industry came a new improvement to excising production line. Image recognisance can now be used to detect defects of the product made by these production lines. However these kinds of flaw detection can be fooled by mirror-like specular light effect on these products, which can reduce the...

Dealing with Biofouling: Is There an environmentally friendly and economically attractive coating for the shipping industry?

The current approach in the shipping industry by the use of highly toxic coating systems is harmful for our inland waterways and oceans, does not benefit the public health and is very undesirable for all aquatic organisms on our planet.<br/>Almost every vessel today uses a toxic coating system which releases toxic compounds continually into our...

A model driven IDE for M-industries’ Alan

While software is becoming increasingly important in our world, software development is also advancing with an increasing pace. One of the reasons is the increase in available information, which triggered the birth of a new programming paradigm: Model Driven Development (henceforth MDD). Though this can shorten the development time and make it...
