Abstract The rapid proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) technology has facilitated automation across various sectors. Nevertheless, this advancement has also resulted in a notable surge in cyberattacks, notably botnets. As a result, research on network analysis has become vital. Machine learning-based techniques for network analysis provide a more extensive and adaptable approach in comparison to traditional rule-based methods. In this paper, we propose a framework for analyzing communications between IoT devices using supervised learning and ensemble techniques and present experimental results that validate the efficacy of the proposed framework. The results indicate that using the More >

Abstract In the early days of IoT’s introduction, it was challenging to introduce encryption communication due to the lack of performance of each component, such as computing resources like CPUs and batteries, to encrypt and decrypt data. Because IoT is applied and utilized in many important fields, a cyberattack on IoT can result in astronomical financial and human casualties. For this reason, the application of encrypted communication to IoT has been required, and the application of encrypted communication to IoT has become possible due to improvements in the computing performance of IoT devices and the development… More >

Abstract As 5th Generation (5G) and Beyond 5G (B5G) networks become increasingly prevalent, ensuring not only network security but also the security and reliability of the applications, the so-called network applications, becomes of paramount importance. This paper introduces a novel integrated model architecture, combining a network application validation framework with an AI-driven reactive system to enhance security in real-time. The proposed model leverages machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to dynamically monitor and respond to security threats, effectively mitigating potential risks before they impact the network infrastructure. This dual approach not only validates the functionality… More >

Abstract Feature selection is a crucial technique in text classification for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of classifiers or machine learning techniques by reducing the dataset’s dimensionality. This involves eliminating irrelevant, redundant, and noisy features to streamline the classification process. Various methods, from single feature selection techniques to ensemble filter-wrapper methods, have been used in the literature. Metaheuristic algorithms have become popular due to their ability to handle optimization complexity and the continuous influx of text documents. Feature selection is inherently multi-objective, balancing the enhancement of feature relevance, accuracy, and the reduction of redundant features. This… More >

Abstract This study analyzes the transmission of typhoid fever caused by Salmonella typhi using a mathematical model that highlights the significance of delay in its effectiveness. Time delays can affect the nature of patterns and slow down the emergence of patterns in infected population density. The analyzed model is expanded with the equilibrium analysis, reproduction number, and stability analysis. This study aims to establish and explore the non-standard finite difference (NSFD) scheme for the typhoid fever virus transmission model with a time delay. In addition, the forward Euler method and Runge-Kutta method of order 4 (RK-4)… More >

Abstract In this article, a novel metaheuristic technique named Far and Near Optimization (FNO) is introduced, offering versatile applications across various scientific domains for optimization tasks. The core concept behind FNO lies in integrating global and local search methodologies to update the algorithm population within the problem-solving space based on moving each member to the farthest and nearest member to itself. The paper delineates the theory of FNO, presenting a mathematical model in two phases: (i) exploration based on the simulation of the movement of a population member towards the farthest member from itself and (ii)… More >

Abstract Understanding the probabilistic nature of brittle materials due to inherent dispersions in their mechanical properties is important to assess their reliability and safety for sensitive engineering applications. This is all the more important when elements composed of brittle materials are exposed to dynamic environments, resulting in catastrophic fatigue failures. The authors propose the application of a non-intrusive polynomial chaos expansion method for probabilistic studies on brittle materials undergoing fatigue fracture when geometrical parameters and material properties are random independent variables. Understanding the probabilistic nature of fatigue fracture in brittle materials is crucial for ensuring the… More >

Abstract With the rise of remote work and the digital industry, advanced cyberattacks have become more diverse and complex in terms of attack types and characteristics, rendering them difficult to detect with conventional intrusion detection methods. Signature-based intrusion detection methods can be used to detect attacks; however, they cannot detect new malware. Endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools are attracting attention as a means of detecting attacks on endpoints in real-time to overcome the limitations of signature-based intrusion detection techniques. However, EDR tools are restricted by the continuous generation of unnecessary logs, resulting in poor detection… More >
