COSIC seminar - Towards Attacker modeling in ubiquitous computing - Davide Papini (DTU)

23/02/2012
14:30 - 15:30
ESAT 00.62

Security is a crucial matter for Ubiquitous Computing systems, expecially those where devices are typically constrained in terms of energy and computing capabilities (e.g. like Wireless Sensor Networks or Body Area Network) thus limiting the design space for secure applications. In this world the attacker exceeds the classical Dolev-Yao model towards what we call Cyber Physical Attacker (CPA), which combines well-­known communication-­related attacks with physical attacks. In this work we present a model that defines the attacker over three dimensions: time, presence and intervention. We then introduce a method to analyse the attacker through a PRISM model based on the Cyber Physical Attacker.

"Neurocognitive enhancement through exercise. Current approaches and applications"

Stefan Schneider (German Sport University Cologne).

The definition for health raised by the World Health Organization (WHO) includes physical and mental health. Today exercise science holds extensive knowledge about the adaptation of peripheral physiological systems to exercise (e.g. the hormonal, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal system).

Although the impact of exercise on mental fitness, cognitive performance and overall well-being has been extensively described in the recent decade, comparatively little is know about the underlying neurophysiological processes. This is mainly due to missing imaging possibilities as standardized imaging procedures, as positron emission tomography (PET) or functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are hardly applicable to health-orientated exercise settings. Nevertheless a deeper insight in the underlying neurophysiological parameters of exercise and their implications for neurocognition and emotional well-being are of utterly importance to a holistic understanding on how exercise promotes health.

The aim of this lecture is three folded: (1) to give an overview of current theories concerning the relationship between exercise and neuro-cognitive function, (2) to display methodological approaches in the area of exercise neuroscience and (3) to verify this theoretical background with two current studies from extreme environments: Space and school.

Workshop BCI and EEG-fMRI

24/05/2012
Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg (HWK) Delmenhorst, Germany

We are glad to announce a workshop focusing on single trials in EEG and fMRI. During the workshop, talks and talking posters will be held discussing state-of-the-art methods related to the reliable estimation of single trials and its relevance for EEG-fMRI integration. We envision insights from innovative single trial estimation, namely BCI.

Host institution and conference venue is Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg (http://www.h-w-k.de/1786.html?&L=2&id=1786). Application forms can be downloaded on this website.  Interested participants are welcome to send the application to eeg-fmri@uni-oldenburg.de.  Due to the limited number of places, priority will be given to people working in the field. Participation fee is 28 euro. Participants have the opportunity to present own research as a poster if interested (please indicate the poster title with your application). Deadline of application: 15th of april.
