Malware Diffusion Models for Wireless Complex Networks: Theory and Applications provides a timely update on malicious software (malware), a serious concern for all types of network users, from laymen to experienced administrators. As the proliferation of portable devices, namely smartphones and tablets, and their increased capabilities, has propelled the intensity of malware spreading and increased its consequences in social life and the global economy, this book provides the theoretical aspect of malware dissemination, also presenting modeling approaches that describe the behavior and dynamics of malware diffusion in various types of wireless complex networks. Sections include a systematic introduction to malware diffusion processes in computer and communications networks, an analysis of the latest state-of-the-art malware diffusion modeling frameworks, such as queuing-based techniques, calculus of variations based techniques, and game theory based techniques, also demonstrating how the methodologies can be used for modeling in more general applications and practical scenarios. - Presents a timely update on malicious software (malware), a serious concern for all types of network users, from laymen to experienced administrators - Systematically introduces malware diffusion processes, providing the relevant mathematical background - Discusses malware modeling frameworks and how to apply them to complex wireless networks - Provides guidelines and directions for extending the corresponding theories in other application domains, demonstrating such possibility by using application models in information dissemination scenarios

This book provides a holistic overview of current state of the art and practice in malware research as well as the challenges of malware research from multiple angles. It also provides step-by-step guides in various practical problems, such as unpacking real-world malware and dissecting it to collect and perform a forensic analysis. Similarly, it includes a guide on how to apply state-of-the-art Machine Learning methods to classify malware. Acknowledging that the latter is a serious trend in malware, one part of the book is devoted to providing the reader with the state-of-the-art in Machine Learning methods in malware classification, highlighting the different approaches that are used for, e.g., mobile malware samples and introducing the reader to the challenges that are faced when shifting from a lab to production environment. Modern malware is fueling a worldwide underground economy. The research for this book is backed by theoretical models that simulate how malware propagates and how the spread could be mitigated. The necessary mathematical foundations and probabilistic theoretical models are introduced, and practical results are demonstrated to showcase the efficacy of such models in detecting and countering malware. It presents an outline of the methods that malware authors use to evade detection. This book also provides a thorough overview of the ecosystem, its dynamics and the geopolitical implications are introduced. The latter are complemented by a legal perspective from the African legislative efforts, to allow the reader to understand the human and social impact of malware. This book is designed mainly for researchers and advanced-level computer science students trying to understand the current landscape in malware, as well as applying artificial intelligence and machine learning in malware detection and classification. Professionals who are searching for a perspective to streamline the challenges that arise, when bringing lab solutions into a production environment, and how to timely identify ransomware signals at scale will also want to purchase this book. Beyond data protection experts, who would like to understand how malware siphons private information, experts from law enforcement authorities and the judiciary system, who want to keep up with the recent developments will find this book valuable as well.
Distributed Computing and Artificial Intelligence, 16th International Conference, Special Sessions
This book presents the outcomes of the special sessions of the 16th International Conference on Distributed Computing and Artificial Intelligence 2019, a forum that brought together ideas, projects and lessons associated with distributed computing and artificial intelligence, and their applications in various areas. Artificial intelligence is currently transforming our society. Its application in distributed environments, such as the internet, electronic commerce, environmental monitoring, mobile communications, wireless devices, and distributed computing, to name but a few, is continuously increasing, making it an element of high added value and tremendous potential. These technologies are changing constantly as a result of the extensive research and technical efforts being pursued at universities and businesses alike. The exchange of ideas between scientists and technicians from both the academic and industrial sectors is essential to facilitating the development of systems that can meet the ever-growing demands of today’s society. This year’s technical program was characterized by high quality and diversity, with contributions in both well-established and evolving areas of research. More than 120 papers were submitted to the main and special sessions tracks from over 20 different countries (Algeria, Angola, Austria, Brazil, Colombia, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Oman, Poland, Portugal, South Korea, Spain, Thailand, Tunisia, the United Kingdom and United States), representing a truly “wide area network” of research activity. The symposium was jointly organized by the Osaka Institute of Technology and the University of Salamanca. This year’s event was held in Avila, Spain, from 26th to 28th June, 2019. The authors wish to thank the sponsors: the IEEE Systems Man and Cybernetics Society, Spain Section Chapter and the IEEE Spain Section (Technical Co-Sponsor), IBM, Indra, Viewnext, Global Exchange, AEPIA, APPIA and AIR institute.
