  3. A. Chojnacki, G. Pieniążek - Time based deterministic model of information security of a business organization
    Pages: 17 - 24
    Abstract: This paper discusses information security of a business organization using a time-based mathematical deterministic model. The model addresses key features of a business organization from the point of view of information security and calculates the level of information security based on quantitative values. Next, the introduced model is used to evaluate the level of information security that could be achieved for known threats within a given budget. For this reason, an optimization problem of safeguard implementation is formulated and an optimization method based on dynamic programming is used to address the issue. Two samples, local and global security metrics, defined in the model are described and one of them is used in optimizing safeguard implementation.

  4. M. Chudy - Model of attrition process control
    Pages: 25 - 30
    Abstract: The essence of the presented attrition process control relies on the solving defined sequence of target assignment problems at specific moments. The sequence of these moments is obtained for both sides of the battle. The model takes into account the changes of the number of means and targets as well as changes in environmental conditions. It is reflected in the parameters of problems. Each of the considered assignment problems belongs to the class of general assignment problems which does not contain totally unimodular matrix factors.

  5. T. Rzeźniczak - Evolutionary algorithms for Map of Attributes optimization
    Pages: 31 - 43
    Abstract: Map of Attributes (MoA) is a visualization technique that allows to construct graphical representation of abstract entities. The technique is intended to aid recognition of the entities’ representations through the effective use of human perception abilities. A certain difficulty in the application of MoA is the computational complexity of finding an optimal map. The study presents a heuristic approach, based on evolutionary algorithms (EA), to constructing MoA visualization. The method was evaluated using the repository of disease entities as an input dataset. Several different setups of EA were tested; these were configurations with well-known evolution operators, as well as setups with newly proposed operators for the matrix representation of chromosome. Detailed results and analysis of conducted experiments are presented.

  3. M. Chudy - Model of attrition process in the presence of decoy
    Pages: 17 - 21
    Abstract: Mutual destroying process on a battlefield has classically been modeled without accounting for the possible presence of false targets. Following [6] we include into consideration the presence of decoys. Attrition of human decoys is to be strenuously avoided for humanitarian reasons, but also because of its broad impact on world opinion. False targets should be taken into consideration in the formulation of the target assignment problems. We formulate bicriteria assignment problem. First of them maximizes expected value of destroyed correctly detected targets and the second minimizes expected value of destroyed incorrectly detected targets. The resulting problem provides the set of compromise solutions. Each of the considered assignment problems belong to the class of general assignment problem which does not contain totally unimodular matrix factors.

  5. T. Rzeźniczak - Visual analysis techniques diagnosis support
    Pages: 33 - 41
    Abstract: Taking into account vast amount of data available for general practitioners, medical diagnostic procedure can be treated as a complex analytical task. A doctor has to analyze the patient’s symptoms, medical test results, and medical knowledge, correlate everything and decide on the diagnosis. In order to do this more effectively, dedicated analytical tools and techniques can be used. The paper elaborates on the application of Map of Attributes (MoA) visualization technique for analysis of a patient’s health and disease pattern recognition. Various modes of using MoA are proposed and discussed. Furthermore, an application of diseases ranking preparation methods in visual filtering of diseases is presented. The methods use flexible similarity indices in conjunction with a graphical presentation of the Pareto model and Multidimensional Scaling model. Their goal is to allow physicians to narrow the space of detailed analysis in an interactive visual manner.

  1. K. Antczak - Rank thresholds in classifier ensemles in medical diagnosis
    Pages: 5 - 12
    Abstract: Classification methods have multiple applications, with medical diagnosis being one of the most common. A powerful way to improve classification quality is to combine single classifiers into an ensemble. One of the approaches for creating such ensembles is to combine class rankings from base classifiers. In this paper, two rank-based ensemble methods are studied: Highest Rank and Borda Count. Furthermore, the effect of applying class rank threshold to these methods is analyzed. We performed tests using real-life medical data. It turns out that specificity of data domain can affect classification quality depending on classifier type.

  2. A. Chojnacki, G. Pieniążek - Choosing the optimal strategy for information security in a business organization
    Pages: 13 - 22
    Abstract: The paper describes the method of choosing the optimal strategy to implement security measures in a business organization. Strategies are categorized depending on time horizons, the history of threats and implemented security measures. Next, the method of choosing the optimal strategy for a business organization in a given context is outlined. Then this method is used to select the optimal strategy in a particular business context. The method is based on a deterministic time-based information security model, which was extended to a random model. With this simulation method, an organization can choose a strategy to implement security measures that best suits its needs. It is important for organizations to conduct an analysis of costs and threats in order to select appropriate safeguards.

  3. O. Dzięgielewska, B. Szafrański - A brief overview of basic inference attacks and protection controls for statistical databases
    Pages: 19 - 24
    Abstract: With cyber-attacks on the dramatic rise in the recent years, the number of entities which realize the necessity of protecting their IT assets increases. Individuals are more aware of the potential threats and demand high level of security from the business entities having access to their personal and private data. Such entities have legal obligations to satisfy the confidentiality when processing sensitive data, but many fails to do so. Keeping the statistical data private is a challenge as the approach to the security breaches slightly differs from the classical understanding of data disclosure attacks. The statistical disclosure can be achieved using inference attacks on the not-effectively protected assets. Such attacks do not target the database access itself, i.e. are performed from a perspective of an internal user, but the statistical interface used to retrieve the statistical data from the database records. This paper sums up basic types of inference attacks classifying them in the CVSS standard and provides a series of fundamental countermeasures which can be undertaken to mitigate the risk of performing successful attack.

  4. B. Szafrański, J. Wilk - Electronic services security management for the public administration
    Pages: 25 - 32
    Abstract: The public administration in Poland is constantly extending and improving electronic services provided to citizens, business and itself (e.g. one ministry providing services to another public administration institution). New expectations like integration using the multilateral interoperability model, the service oriented approach, different security categories and groups within different institutions are creating the requirement for the appropriate security model. According to the authors current models do not meet the new requirements, but can be used as a base for the new approach. The lattice and its variations in different models (Denning, Sandhu, Szafrański) was selected by authors to create the new electronic services security management model for integration platforms which are supporting realization of public tasks. This publication focuses on practical aspect of the new model and presents the case study on a public administration e-services example. Detailed definition of the model itself can be found in previous authors’ articles.

    Abstract: A new type of graph is introduced, the grammar graph. The possibility of assigning labels to each node in such a graph extends it to the grammar net. The grammar net should be considered as a new graphical tool that helps in an analysis of whether a particular sentence belongs to a given context-sensitive grammar. Another concept, the derivation net, closely related to the grammar graph and of a similar structure, will be used to show an algorithm that is able to decide that some sentences do not belong to a language generated by a context sensitive grammar, while leaving others as a candidate members of it.

    Pages: 45 - 51
    Abstract: A particularly helpful search of a network such as the Internet or a citation network not only finds nodes that satisfy some criteria but also ranks those nodes for importance to create what amounts to a “reading list”. In the recent past, there has been a large interest across a number of research communities in the analysis of complex networks. The selected set of pages from the World Wide Web can be modeled as a directed graph, where nodes are designated as individual pages, and the links as a connection between them. As the number of webpages to be ranked is in the billions, the computation is time-consuming and can take several days or more. Algorithms like PageRank, HITS, SALSA and their modifications has a challenge to deal with the size of the processed data. The need for accelerated algorithms is clear. This article presents the characteristics of three best known ranking algorithms and the assumptions for new algorithm development with first test runs.

    Abstract: The data privacy is currently vastly commented topic among all the organizations which process personal data due to the introduction of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation. Existing methods of data protection are believed to be sufficient as they meet the risk-based approach requirements in every mature organization, yet the number of publicly known data breaches confirms that this assumption is false. The aftermath of such incidents in countless cases prove that the risk-based approach failed as the reputational and financial consequences by far exceed the original estimations. This paper stressed the importance of the data layer protection from the planning, through design, until maintenance stages in the database lifecycle, as numerous attack vectors originating from the insider threat and targeting the data layer still sneak through unnoticed during the risk analysis phase.

    Abstract: This paper concerns the problem of discovering an unknown grammar from a text sample. The discovering methods are formulated as optimisation problems based on a binary representation of context-sensitive grammars. The representation starts with a longest possible vector of bits to, finally, make it more compact so as to be usable in practical applications. For the sake of simplicity, considered are only noncontracting (length preserving) grammars of order 2, excluding productions of the form P:A→B and those deriving the empty string, i.e P:A→ε.

    Abstract: Spread Page is our code name for a new, more efficient way of conveying technical information and scientific knowledge – freed form the text-centered mindset and focused on graphical, interactive, multidimensional representation. The article presents an overview of current concepts and solutions that seem applicable in crafting the idea of Spread Page. In our discussion we begin with novel, abstract, organizational ideas regarding the process of creating and disseminating scientific knowledge, that break up with the traditional model of (paper) publishing. Then we turn to analyzing methods and conventions used in (graphically) modeling real and abstract constructs, and finally review existing software solutions, technologies and exemplary, concrete products that implement certain functionalities instrumental to our cause. We reach the conclusion that, in certain areas (dealing with read-world entities, e.g. mechanics or anatomy), such desired “Spread-Page” way of representing knowledge is already within our reach. In more abstract fields, like law and legislature, political science, etc. we are still far off, mostly due to lack of appropriate standards and (graphical) notation.

    Pages: 19 - 30
    Abstract: This paper contains the results of radionuclides transportation modeling under National Radioactive Waste Disposal (NRWD) grounds in Różan (northeast Poland). The disposal is of the low- and intermediate-level waste (LILW) type. We simulated the radionuclides transportation process through sandy soils. The simulation was performed in a self-written simulator in Scilab using the finite difference method. The model included diffusion, advection and radioactive decay. The model was tested according to convergence and stability. Assuming the hydrological gradient being 0.008, the contamination transportation time was 30–46 years depending on the modeled problem. The modeled distance of 600 m was from underneath the disposal to the exudation in the Narew ravine. Radioactive decay for both cesium (Cs137) and strontium (Sr90) had a significant impact on the results. The model proved to be a useful tool for performing simple scientific simulations. This survey was part of a PhD thesis.

    Pages: 17 - 28
    Abstract: Topic models are very popular methods of text analysis. The most popular algorithm for topic modelling is LDA (Latent Dirichlet Allocation). Recently, many new methods were proposed, that enable the usage of this model in large scale processing. One of the problem is, that a data scientist has to choose the number of topics manually. This step requires some previous analysis. A few methods were proposed to automatize this step, but none of them works very well if LDA is used as a preprocessing for further classification. In this paper, we propose an ensemble approach which allows us to use more than one model at prediction phase, at the same time, reducing the need of finding a single best number of topics. We have also analyzed a few methods of estimating topic number.

    Pages: 29 - 39
    Abstract: The paper proposes the multiagent techniques for approximation of agent’s state in the multiresolution multiagent simulation. The key methods we have used for state aggregation and disaggregation are: consensus algorithm and formation control. The idea of the coordination of multiple agents has emerged from both observation and simulation of a collective behavior of biological entities. The consensus algorithms are commonly used for the cooperative control problems in the multiagent systems, whilst the formation control is the most popular and fundamental motion coordination problem in the multiagent systems, where agents converge to predefined geometric shapes. The presented approach shows that multiagent methods seem to be very promising in multiresolution simulation. Consensus and formation control algorithms remove necessity to specify the much more complex algorithms for the aggregation and disaggregation needs.

    Pages: 41 - 46
    Abstract: This paper shows a simple computational scheme for determining whether a particular quantum state in a specific form is separable across two given sets of qubits. That is, given a set of qubits partitioned into two, it answers the question: does the original state have a separable form as a tensor product of some two other states, which are set up of the two given subsets of qubits?

    Pages: 47 - 52
    Abstract: Nowadays, brain-computer interfaces are gaining more and more popularity. Research centers develop new methods of human communication with devices through thoughts. There are many methods used for this kind of interfaces, however, the most widespread is electroencephalography (EEG). There are many reasons for this fact, it is a method that is relatively cheap compared to other methods. Less complex technical tools and apparatus are required to operate it. Another advantage of this method, unlike others, is its non-invasiveness. Unfortunately, current brain-computer interfaces do not offer high data rates. However, time plays a smaller role when we are dealing with a disabled person who regains the ability to communicate with the world through the interface controlled by thoughts. This paper is the beginning of a series of papers in which the author will describe in detail the elements of brain-computer interfaces, as well as improvements that can be applied to them to improve their properties.

    Pages: 5 - 11
    Abstract: The paper concerns the mathematical modeling of patient’s disease states and disease unit patterns for the needs of algorithms supporting medical decisions. Due to the specificity of medical data and assessments in the modeling of patient’s disease states as well as diseases, the fuzzy set methodology was used. The paper presents a number of new characteristics of fuzzy sets allowing to assess the quality of medical diagnosis. In addition, a definition of a multi-aspect fuzzy set is presented, which may be useful in supporting medical diagnostics based on multi-criteria similarity models. The presented results can be used in the construction of algorithms for assessing the patient's state of health and mainly in the construction of algorithms for supporting diagnostic processes.

    Pages: 13 - 18
    Abstract: The paper discusses regularization properties of artificial data for deep learning. Artificial datasets allow to train neural networks in the case of a real data shortage. It is demonstrated that the artificial data generation process, described as injecting noise to high-level features, bears several similarities to existing regularization methods for deep neural networks. One can treat this property of artificial data as a kind of “deep” regularization. It is thus possible to regularize hidden layers of the network by generating the training data in a certain way..

    Pages: 19 - 25
    Abstract: This paper aims at demonstrating a mathematical model of the process of writing and deleting information about files on a disk, using the contents of the $MFT system file, i.e. in a file generated in the NTFS (New technology File System). The presented model uses the language of control theory, where the state of the system is equal to the state of the disk and the state of the $MFT file, and where control is understood as undertaking the action of writing or deleting. The deterministic nature of the process and its stationarity were assumed. Then, based on the transition function after its specification, we suggest constructing further inverse images of possible prior states at subsequent stages of data writing or deletion. The obtained results form the basis for the implementations developed.

    Pages: 33 - 44
    Abstract: Service Oriented Architecture is popular in many organizations. In particular, it has already deeply rooted in large corporations that need to automate entire business processes and implement them in many systems. It has a unique feature that allows unambiguously indicate service that is to realise business process step. That indication is possible to show directly in BPMN diagram. Thus, it is possible to trace which server has used resources to implement the service and how much of those resources were needed. Therefore, it is possible to build an optimization task that, with limited and unreliable resources, will determine such allocation of components to servers and such an algorithm for assigning tasks to them, so that the processes will work as well as possible. The article presents a model of such an optimization task. This model consists of four layers. The Organization Layer describes the system environment – the types and frequency of initiating business process instances. The Integration Layer describes the business processes and indicates the services that should be performed at every step. The Component Layer describes component characteristics and what services they provide. In Server Layer both: server characteristics and runtime environments necessary for the component to run are described. Finally, the optimization task and evaluation criteria are formulated.

    Abstract: The paper presents a proposal of a new method for clustering search results. The method uses an external knowledge resource, which can be, for example, Wikipedia. Wikipedia – the largest encyclopedia, is a free and popular knowledge resource which is used to extract topics from short texts. Similarities between documents are calculated based on the similarities between these topics. After that, affinity propagation clustering algorithm is employed to cluster web search results. Proposed method is tested by AMBIENT dataset and evaluated within the experimental framework provided by a SemEval-2013 task. The paper also suggests new method to compare global performance of algorithms using multi – criteria analysis.

    Pages: 5 - 12
    Abstract: The paper presents a several new definitions of concepts regarding the properties of fuzzy sets in the aspect of their use in decision support processes. These are concepts such as the image and counter – image of the fuzzy set, the proper fuzzy set, the fuzzy support and the ranking of fuzzy set. These concepts can be important in construction decision support algorithms. Particularly a lot of space was devoted to the study of the properties of membership function of the fuzzy set as a result of operations on fuzzy sets. Two additional postulates were formulated that should be fulfilled by the membership function product of fuzzy sets in decision making.

    Pages: 33 - 41
    Abstract: This paper describes the issue of authorship attribution based on the content of conversations originating from instant messaging software applications. The results presented in the paper refer to the corpus of conversations conducted in Polish. On the basis of a standardised model of the corpus of conversations, stylometric features were extracted, which were divided into four groups: word and message length distributions, character frequencies, tf-idf matrix and features extracted on the basis of turns (conversational features). The vectors of users’ stylometric features were compared in pairs by using Euclidean, cosine and Manhattan metrics. CMC curves were used to analyse the significance of the feature groups and the effectiveness of the metrics for identifying similar speech styles. The best results were obtained by the group of features being the tf-idf matrix compared with the use of cosine distance and the group of features extracted on the basis of turns compared with the use of the Manhattan metric.

    Pages: 5 - 16
    Abstract: Differential privacy is a statistical disclosure control that is gaining popularity in recent years due to easy application for the data collection mechanisms. Many variants of differential privacy are being developed for specific use cases and environments. One of them is adaptive differential privacy that modulates the generated noise in such a way, that the retrieved result is affected according to the risk profile of the asked query and the risk-accuracy tradeoff required for the queried database. This paper intends to evaluate the adaptive differential privacy using VIOLAS Framework and through assessing how the security characteristics satisfied by the adaptive differential privacy mitigate the risk of selected inference attacks.

    Pages: 39 - 50
    Abstract: The results of the analysis of factors influencing the emergence of dangerous situations in the air (in short, aviation incidents) in the Polish Army show a significant negative impact of the environment on the flight operations performed. The most common cause of an aviation incident in the area of the environment is the collision of the aircraft with birds. The lack of methods for the continuous monitoring and forecasting of the level of risk of collision between aircraft and birds makes a significant gap in a proactive approach to the safety of flights in the Air Force of the Republic of Poland. This paper presents an overview of the most important methods for detection and forecasting of bird flight intensity, which have been used for construction of systems aiming to prevent collisions with birds and which are employed by the air forces of the United States, the Netherlands, Belgium and Israel. An accurate analysis of the models and algorithms used in the selected methods shows contemporary trends in research on the negative impact of the environment on flight safety. These methods show incomplete usefulness in Poland’s conditions, which justifies the need to develop a more appropriate method.

  5. J. Wilk - Efficiency of lattice-based security mechanisms supporting public tasks on digital integration platforms
    Pages: 51 - 59
    Abstract: Integration platforms are the solution increasingly used by the public administration in Poland in order to make public tasks available and implement the tasks on these platforms (in the form of electronic services). In earlier publications, the author proposed a mathematical model based on lattice mechanisms that ensures the secure provision of these services (from a confidentiality perspective). In the following publication the author's model was cited (its main elements) and then the analysis of a time efficiency of the approach with using lattice mechanisms with the general model was performed. The efficiency examined concerned both the implementation of public tasks – and more precisely the verification of their correctness from the security perspective before the implementation as well as concerned an expansion of the process of handling the public task. The author has demonstrated that in both cases it is appropriate to use the lattice solution, as its time efficiency is better.
