ResearchLog: Supervisor finalization & Topic Exploration

After searching for about 10 months at-last i have found the supervisor for my MS Thesis. He’s an expert in the field of Industrial Engineering and Systems Engineering. He’s currently working in the fields of Mathematical Optimization (esp. Genetic Algorithms).

Hopefully, I’ll be combining the fields of Mathematical Optimization along with the Information Security Techniques. I found that the Intrusion Detection Systems and Anti-virus systems use these (heuristic) techniques for the identification of attacks.

Today, I have downloaded some Research Papers, one of which captured my attention. It discussed the optimized allocation of Limited Budget in the small companies with Information Security implementation in them. I’ll study it in detail hopefully today or in tomorrow morning.

I also have issued a book from Library named “Introduction to Mathematical Optimization: From Linear Programming to Meta-heuristics” by Xin-She Yang. In the first view it seemed more like a mathematical book.
I am actually in search of a book from programming point of view.

I am also looking to learn/practice python language. So, i have the programming skill if required.

 

I think that’s all for today. See you guys tomorrow.
