  • Specification and Analysis of ABAC Policies via the Category-Based Metamodel 

    Fernandez, Maribel; Mackie, Ian; Thuraisingham, Bhavani (Assoc Computing Machinery, 2019-03-25)
    The Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) model is one of the most powerful access control models in use. It subsumes popular models, such as the Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model, and can also enforce dynamic policies ...
  • Multistream Classification for Cyber Threat Data with Heterogeneous Feature Space 

    Li, Yifan; Tao, Hemeng; Gao, Yang; Khan, Latifur; Ayoade, Gbadebo; Thuraisingham, B. (Association for Computing Machinery, Inc, 2019-05)
    Under a newly introduced setting of multistream classification, two data streams are involved, which are referred to as source and target streams. The source stream continuously generates data instances from a certain ...
  • Towards Self-Adaptive Metric Learning on the Fly 

    Gao, Yang; Li, Yi-Fan; Chandra, Swarup; Khan, Latifur; Thuraisingham, Bhavani (Association For Computing Machinery, Inc, 2019-05)
    Good quality similarity metrics can significantly facilitate the performance of many large-scale, real-world applications. Existing studies have proposed various solutions to learn a Mahalanobis or bilinear metric in an ...
