Efficient Cutting for Haptic Surgery Simulation using Hybrid Deformation Models

This research project aims to expand Symgery’s line of surgical training products by simulating cutting and tearing of physical models in real-time. Cutting and tearing of simulated models typically requires additional computational overhead due to post-processing of the volumetric mesh. However, our approach will render the process to be more efficient by using a hybrid […]

Designing, implementing and optimizing an SVM based system to detect machines engaged in distributed denial of service attack

In this research, we propose the design of an efficient automated system which can effectively learn from the patterns of malicious activities, in the form of distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) against web servers on the Internet, and subsequently offer potential victims protection against such attacks by banning such requests in advance. A DDoS […]
