  Cybersecurity – A systems perspective

  Abstract: Machines have been getting intelligent and they are outpacing humans at certain complex tasks. This paper gives an overview of some of the key technologies used in machine intelligence. We suggest that given the future projections in machine capabilities

  man machine symbiosis is a given. Hence we propose that human learning must be driven to increase the capacity to understand concepts and apply that knowledge

  rather than just memorize facts or processes. Repetitive human tasks will get automated

  freeing us to push the boundaries of creativity and innovation.

  Cybersecurity – A deep dive into the abyss

  Gian Colombo

  Abstract: Based on the potential power of human-computer symbiosis

  we present a methodology to capture and fuse unconscious cognition with high-powered computer analysis to improve the solution to complex computational problems. Unconscious cognition can be captured using non-intrusive sensors such as eye trackers when stimuli are controlled

  and this system's response signal has the resolution to differentiate between conscious deliberate movements from the unconscious. This post-processed response signal

  when combined with the power of computation

  will provide a dynamic pathway to enable enhanced discovery and understanding in complex problem-solving domains

  aiding effective decision-making. A central result of this paper is a methodology that can rank order unconscious cognition responses for prioritization into the computational engine

  demonstrated using eye-tracking measurements on visual search.

  Rule Extraction and Visualization from Data Traces

  In this paper we present methods

  process and algorithms to decipher the hidden rules or logic of complex traffic patterns – traces of assets

  people and equipment -- and demonstrate technologies for Automated Rule Learning from Data Traces. We call this system for automated rule learning from data traces - TraceLogic.\nWe demonstrate this technology on aircraft carriers. Operations on aircraft carriers are often described as controlled chaos. Complex organizational systems

  such as those that govern and effect aircraft movement onboard carriers

  do not operate on predetermined low level rules but rather adapt and learn based on high-level guidelines. Critical situations that are often new or unique are best tackled by adaptive and well-trained organizations.
