What is Integrated Grey Clustering Method

On the basis of the grey system theory, which is proposed to tackle the problems of uncertainty and missing information, an integrative method for the effectiveness evaluation of network attacks is proposed, which combines the merits of three different kinds of evaluation methods based on Grey-Clustering Analysis (GCA). Particularly, the proposed method provides a solution to the problem of accuracy drop seen in prevailing grey evaluation methods when the clustering coefficients exhibit no significant difference. With low time complexity, the proposed method performs well in the effectiveness evaluation of network attacks. Simulation results on suitable DDoS scenarios demonstrate the feasibility and power of the method.
