An Alert Correlation System with the Throughput of Multi-Thousands Events per Second

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Mirheidari, Ali (Author) ; Jalili, Rasoul (Supervisor)

Abstract

With the growing deployment of host and network intrusion detection systems, analyzing generated alerts from these systems becomes critically important and challenging due to its complexity and high amount of data. Alert Correlation systems are a possible solution for deep analysis of incoming alerts in response to potential attacks against enterprise networks. Although several known alert correlation systems have been proposed for this purpose so far, most of them do not support high amount of input due to their centralized architecture. In this thesis, we propose a system architecture and approach for alert correlation to be extensible, flexible, and modular. The architecture encompasses...

A Reactive Architecture for Big Data Streaming Analytics Platform in IoT

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Mirvakili, Esmaeil (Author) ; Habibi, Jafar (Supervisor) ; Fazli, Mohammad Amin (Supervisor)

Abstract

Today’s biggest IoT companies are built on the extraction of insight from data of sensors, and data processing has become crucial in IoT businesses. Nevertheless, the size of data which should be processed is growing significantly fast. The pace of the data growing has changed the nature of data processing in IoT. Today, IoT industries demand highly scalable and fault tolerant data processing architectures which can handle the massive amount of data. In this research, we presented a distributed architecture for scalable and resilient data processing based on the Liquid which is a nearline and offline big data architecture. We used the Reactive Manifesto to design the architecture highly...

Designing a Curriculum with an Emphasis on Education for the Optimal Application of BIM in the Construction Industry

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Baghdadi, Mohammad Hossein (Author) ; Kashani, Hamed (Supervisor)

Abstract

The Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry worldwide has increasingly turned its attention to the application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) due to its numerous advantages. Educational institutions have been urged to integrate this technology into their curricula so that new graduates can acquire the necessary competencies and expertise to keep pace with industry developments and take full advantage of BIM. Building Information Modeling involves automated processes that significantly reduce discrepancies between planned and constructed models, save time and cost, prevent errors, and mitigate risks. The process of introducing this technology into universities has...
