Abstract Software-defined networking (SDN) is an innovative paradigm that separates the control and data planes, introducing centralized network control. SDN is increasingly being adopted by Carrier Grade networks, offering enhanced network management capabilities than those of traditional networks. However, because SDN is designed to ensure high-level service availability, it faces additional challenges. One of the most critical challenges is ensuring efficient detection and recovery from link failures in the data plane. Such failures can significantly impact network performance and lead to service outages, making resiliency a key concern for the effective adoption of SDN. Since the More >

Abstract Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the infrastructures that connect smart devices to the Internet, operating autonomously. This connectivity makes it possible to harvest vast quantities of data, creating new opportunities for the emergence of unprecedented knowledge. To ensure IoT securit, various approaches have been implemented, such as authentication, encoding, as well as devices to guarantee data integrity and availability. Among these approaches, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) is an actual security solution, whose performance can be enhanced by integrating various algorithms, including Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL), enabling proactive and accurate detection of… More >

Abstract Link failure is a critical issue in large networks and must be effectively addressed. In software-defined networks (SDN), link failure recovery schemes can be categorized into proactive and reactive approaches. Reactive schemes have longer recovery times while proactive schemes provide faster recovery but overwhelm the memory of switches by flow entries. As SDN adoption grows, ensuring efficient recovery from link failures in the data plane becomes crucial. In particular, data center networks (DCNs) demand rapid recovery times and efficient resource utilization to meet carrier-grade requirements. This paper proposes an efficient Decentralized Failure Recovery (DFR) model… More >

Abstract In recent years, the number of patients with colon disease has increased significantly. Colon polyps are the precursor lesions of colon cancer. If not diagnosed in time, they can easily develop into colon cancer, posing a serious threat to patients’ lives and health. A colonoscopy is an important means of detecting colon polyps. However, in polyp imaging, due to the large differences and diverse types of polyps in size, shape, color, etc., traditional detection methods face the problem of high false positive rates, which creates problems for doctors during the diagnosis process. In order to… More >

Abstract Urban railways are vital means of public transportation in Korea. More than 30% of metropolitan residents use the railways, and this proportion is expected to increase. To enhance safety, the government has mandated the installation of closed-circuit televisions in all carriages by 2024. However, cameras still monitored humans. To address this limitation, we developed a dataset of risk factors and a smart detection system that enables an immediate response to any abnormal behavior and intensive monitoring thereof. We created an innovative learning dataset that takes into account seven unique risk factors specific to Korean railway More >

Abstract This study investigates the application of Learnable Memory Vision Transformers (LMViT) for detecting metal surface flaws, comparing their performance with traditional CNNs, specifically ResNet18 and ResNet50, as well as other transformer-based models including Token to Token ViT, ViT without memory, and Parallel ViT. Leveraging a widely-used steel surface defect dataset, the research applies data augmentation and t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) to enhance feature extraction and understanding. These techniques mitigated overfitting, stabilized training, and improved generalization capabilities. The LMViT model achieved a test accuracy of 97.22%, significantly outperforming ResNet18 (88.89%) and ResNet50 (88.90%), as well… More >

Abstract Previous studies have shown that deep learning is very effective in detecting known attacks. However, when facing unknown attacks, models such as Deep Neural Networks (DNN) combined with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) combined with LSTM, and so on are built by simple stacking, which has the problems of feature loss, low efficiency, and low accuracy. Therefore, this paper proposes an autonomous detection model for Distributed Denial of Service attacks, Multi-Scale Convolutional Neural Network-Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Units-Single Headed Attention (MSCNN-BiGRU-SHA), which is based on a Multi-strategy Integrated Zebra Optimization Algorithm (MI-ZOA).

Abstract Solar cell defect detection is crucial for quality inspection in photovoltaic power generation modules. In the production process, defect samples occur infrequently and exhibit random shapes and sizes, which makes it challenging to collect defective samples. Additionally, the complex surface background of polysilicon cell wafers complicates the accurate identification and localization of defective regions. This paper proposes a novel Lightweight Multi-scale Feature Fusion network (LMFF) to address these challenges. The network comprises a feature extraction network, a multi-scale feature fusion module (MFF), and a segmentation network. Specifically, a feature extraction network is proposed to obtain… More >

Abstract To accurately diagnose misfire faults in automotive engines, we propose a Channel Attention Convolutional Model, specifically the Squeeze-and-Excitation Networks (SENET), for classifying engine vibration signals and precisely pinpointing misfire faults. In the experiment, we established a total of 11 distinct states, encompassing the engine’s normal state, single-cylinder misfire faults, and dual-cylinder misfire faults for different cylinders. Data collection was facilitated by a highly sensitive acceleration signal collector with a high sampling rate of 20,840 Hz. The collected data were methodically divided into training and testing sets based on different experimental groups to ensure generalization and… More >
