Monograph "Selected Issues of Applied Computer Science" (pl. Wybrane zagadnienia informatyki stosowanej) contains two chapters of our Depertment of Complex Systems employees: PhD. Michał Piętal and M.Sc. Bartosz Kowal
It includes a variety of topics relating to issues in the field of applied computer science, starting with two different numerical methods for solving boundary value problems of mathematical equations, the last two chapters focus on issues related to security of operating systems using antivirus software, and problems related to the lack of certain information in the analysis of issues.
The author of chapter 3 entitled: "Review and assessment of the effectiveness of protection and performance of selected antivirus programs" is M.Sc. Bartosz Kowal. In his chapter on the effectiveness of current programs, he presents tests on 7 different anti-malware applications. As it can be read in the text: "The research showed that each program used the computing power of the virtualized operating system differently. (...) The analysis of the research results showed that each of the analyzed programs is 100% capable of detecting and eliminating malware".
The author of chapter 4 entitled: "Missing values in data: issues, challenges, methods" is PhD.. Michał Piętal. Chapter presents problems related to a certain type of information, i.e. missing value. "The author's intention was to present and show the significance, complexity, generality and universality of the problem of the occurrence of missing values. (...) At the same time, it should be noted that there is no universal recipe or method of selecting the technique of introducing values" - writed PhD. Michał Piętal.
The publication can be purchased in the Publishing House of Rzeszów University of Technology in building no. F at M. Skłodowskiej-Curie street.
We presents the chapters summary of our employees:
B.Kowal "Review and assessment of the effectiveness of protection and performance of selected antivirus programs":
With each year, criminals in cyberspace are becoming better and more cunning. One of the safeguards against their attacks are antivirus programs that provide real-time protection against all kinds of threats. The article presents a review and assessment of the effectiveness of protection and performance of selected antivirus programs. The main goal of the research was to check if the selected software would detect all possible malware from a specific set of malware. Antivirus scanners also affect other system parameters such as CPU usage. Research has shown that each program used the computing power of the virtualized operating system differently. The results obtained can serve as a guide for users who are asked what antivirus software to choose. Analysis of research results has shown that each of the analyzed programs is 100% capable of detecting and eliminating malware. The most important element of these programs is the cloud-based threat recognition that allows faster and more effective threat detection without waiting for local signature updates
