The definitive theoretical work on Computer Viruses by the award winning computer virus expert. Covers all aspects of computer virus attacks & defenses, & discusses long & short term implications on computer security & artificial life. Topics include: computational aspects of computer viruses, evolutionary viruses & viruses as distributed computing mechanisms, the universal protection machine, requirements for viral spread, basic limitations on virus defenses, how modern security systems are bypassed by viruses, secure networks & how they can or can not limit viruses, detection & removal of viruses & the limits on these defenses, complexity based integrity maintenance as a defense against viruses, experimental virus source codes, & viruses as artificial life. Discounts for libraries, universities, bookstores, & quantity purchases. Available through ASP Press, P.O. Box 81270 Pittsburgh, PA 15217, Tel. 412-422-4134, FAX 412-422-4135.
Fred Cohen moves from one case study to another, chronicling how vunerable our information systems truly are. From military information to banking transfers to clandestine virus attacks on the Internet, Cohen outlines the challenges of maintaining security online and offers practical solutions that must be taken to manage critical security problems in the future.
This book takes readers back and forth through time and makes the past accessible to all families, students and the general reader and is an unprecedented collection of a list of events in chronological order and a wealth of informative knowledge about the rise and fall of empires, major scientific breakthroughs, groundbreaking inventions, and monumental moments about everything that has ever happened.
An Athletic Director's Story is the story of Robert Mulcahy's transforming decade as Rutgers University athletic director. His first-hand account describes the challenges awaiting him in 1998: To elevate the athletics program's assets - coaches and staffs, student athletes, facilities, and school pride - from hardly known to national prominence and achievement in NCAA Division I sports.

At its core, information security deals with the secure and accurate transfer of information. While information security has long been important, it was, perhaps, brought more clearly into mainstream focus with the so-called “Y2K” issue. Te Y2K scare was the fear that c- puter networks and the systems that are controlled or operated by sofware would fail with the turn of the millennium, since their clocks could lose synchronization by not recognizing a number (instruction) with three zeros. A positive outcome of this scare was the creation of several Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) around the world that now work - operatively to exchange expertise and information, and to coordi...
The natural mission of Computational Science is to tackle all sorts of human problems and to work out intelligent automata aimed at alleviating the b- den of working out suitable tools for solving complex problems. For this reason ComputationalScience,thoughoriginatingfromtheneedtosolvethemostch- lenging problems in science and engineering (computational science is the key player in the ?ght to gain fundamental advances in astronomy, biology, che- stry, environmental science, physics and several other scienti?c and engineering disciplines) is increasingly turning its attention to all ?elds of human activity. In all activities, in fact, intensive computation, information handling, kn- ledge s...
