Secure multiparty pagerank algorithm for collaborative fraud detection

Collaboration between financial institutions helps to improve detection of fraud. However, exchange of relevant data between these institutions is often not possible due to privacy constraints and data confidentiality. An important example of relevant data for fraud detection is given by a transaction graph, where the nodes represent bank accounts...

Maintenance decision model for steel bridges: a case in the Netherlands

A probabilistic model is developed to investigate the crack growth development in welded details of orthotropic bridge decks. Bridge decks may contain many of these vulnerable details and bridge reliability cannot always be guaranteed upon the attainment of a critical crack. Therefore, insight into the crack growth development is crucial in...

Development and evaluation of multi-agent models predicting Twitter trends in multiple domains

This paper concerns multi-agent models predicting Twitter trends. We use a step-wise approach to develop a novel agent-based model with the following properties: (1) it uses individual behavior parameters for a set of Twitter users and (2) it uses a retweet graph to model the underlying social network structure of these Twitter users to predict...

Structural health monitoring in end-of-life prediction for steel bridges subjected to fatigue cracking

This paper presents a monitoring and modelling methodology to assess the current and future conditions of steel bridges subjected to fatigue cracking. Steel bridges are subjected to fatigue cracking as a result of fluctuating stresses caused by the crossing of heavy vehicles. Specifically for orthotropic steel bridge decks, fatigue cracking is...

Bayesian belief networks in business continuity

Business continuity professionals try to deal with multiple aspects which influence the continuity of a company. The key product is a coherent system of measures which encompass detection, prevention and recovery. Choices made in one element of the system affect other elements as well as the continuity risks of the company. In complex...
