Information visualization for an intrusion detection system James Blustein, Ching-Lung Fu, and Daniel L. Silver   View Paper (PDF)   Return to Poster Papers Abstract Spatial hypertext was developed from studies of how humans deal with information overflow particularly in situations where data needed to be interpreted quickly. Most users of intrusion detection systems (IDS) do not monitor their system continuously and IDS have high false alarm rates. The proposed system that utilizes spatial hypertext workspace as the user interface could reduce the impact of high false alarm from IDS. This system may improvement the user's willingness to continuously monitor the system. ©2006 Association for Computing Machinery
