    Multi-Stage Game-Theoretical Decision Analysis of Enterprise Information Security Outsourcing Based on Moral Hazard

    Qiang Xiong*, Jianlong Zhang, Qianwen Song

    Journal of Cyber Security, Vol.7, pp. 255-277, 2025, DOI:10.32604/jcs.2025.065625 - 14 July 2025

    Abstract In the domain of information security outsourcing, the multi-stage game-theoretic decision-making process, intertwined with moral hazard and dynamic strategy adjustments, significantly impacts the long-term collaboration between the principal (outsourcing enterprise) and the contractor (Managed Security Service Provider—MSSP). This paper conducts a comprehensive analysis of these aspects within information security outsourcing partnerships. A multi-stage game model incorporating moral hazard is constructed to meticulously examine the strategic behaviors and expected revenue fluctuations of both parties across different cooperation stages. Through in-depth model derivation, the impacts of service fees, cooperation-stage progression, and long-term cooperation on expected revenues are… More >

    Komal Rani Narejo1, Hongying Zan1,*, Kheem Parkash Dharmani2, Orken Mamyrbayev3,*, Ainur Akhmediyarova4, Zhibek Alibiyeva4, Janna Alimkulova5

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.84, No.2, pp. 3407-3429, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2025.065872 - 03 July 2025

    Abstract While automatic image captioning systems have made notable progress in the past few years, generating captions that fully convey sentiment remains a considerable challenge. Although existing models achieve strong performance in visual recognition and factual description, they often fail to account for the emotional context that is naturally present in human-generated captions. To address this gap, we propose the Sentiment-Driven Caption Generator (SDCG), which combines transformer-based visual and textual processing with multi-level fusion. RoBERTa is used for extracting sentiment from textual input, while visual features are handled by the Vision Transformer (ViT). These features are More >

    A Deep Learning Approach for Fault Diagnosis in Centrifugal Pumps through Wavelet Coherent Analysis and S-Transform Scalograms with CNN-KAN

    Muhammad Farooq Siddique1, Saif Ullah1, Jong-Myon Kim1,2,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.84, No.2, pp. 3577-3603, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2025.065326 - 03 July 2025

    Abstract Centrifugal Pumps (CPs) are critical machine components in many industries, and their efficient operation and reliable Fault Diagnosis (FD) are essential for minimizing downtime and maintenance costs. This paper introduces a novel FD method to improve both the accuracy and reliability of detecting potential faults in such pumps. The proposed method combines Wavelet Coherent Analysis (WCA) and Stockwell Transform (S-transform) scalograms with Sobel and non-local means filters, effectively capturing complex fault signatures from vibration signals. Using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for feature extraction, the method transforms these scalograms into image inputs, enabling the recognition of More >
