Riad El-Solh / Beirut 1 107 2020 Lebanon Emails { i d o l , mas44, zoaO 1, hartail} @aub.edu.lb P.O.BOX 11-0236 / 3623 ABSTRACT A modem technology in the area of intrusion detection is honeypot technology that unlike common IDSs tends to provide the attacker with all the necessary resources needed for a successful attack. Honeypots provide a platform for studying the methods and tools used by the intruders (blackhat community), thus deriving their value from the unauthorized use of their resources. This paper discusses the design of a dynamic honeypot, which is an autonomous honeypot capable of adapting in a dynamic and constantly changing network environment. The dynamic honeypot approach integrates passive or active probing and virtual honeypots. This approach addresses the challenge of deploying and configuring virtual honeypots.0-7803-8577-2

Rutting is one of the significant distresses in flexible pavements. Examining the methods to decrease permanent deformation is of considerable importance to provide long service life and safe highways. The main objective of this paper is to undertake a state-of-the-art review to combine the existing work on the permanent deformation of asphalt concrete pavements. For this purpose, the review synthesizes the evolution of the permanent deformation models, the tests methods used to evaluate and quantify the rutting potential of asphalt mixtures with a particular focus provided on the stress sweep rutting test which is gaining popularity as it tackles the shortcomings of its predecessor for the exact characterization and prediction of permanent deformation. Additionally, some advanced computational intelligence methodologies such as finite element model and soft computing are reviewed. Furthermore, the most common permanent deformation solutions are reviewed. It was found that efforts are put towards improving either the rheological properties of base asphalt by using modifiers or asphalt mixture by using selected aggregates to enhance the aggregate interlock and by implementing semi-flexible asphalt pavements which is expected to be a promising method against permanent deformation. This state-of-the-art work is expected to supply a comprehensive perception of the available models, rutting test, and solutions, and to suggest future studying areas related to the rutting of asphalt pavements.
