Abstract In recent years, cyber threats have escalated across diverse sectors, with cybercrime syndicates increasingly exploiting system vulnerabilities. Traditional passive defense mechanisms have proven insufficient, particularly as Linux platforms—historically overlooked in favor of Windows—have emerged as frequent targets. According to Trend Micro, there has been a substantial increase in Linux-targeted malware, with ransomware attacks on Linux surpassing those on macOS. This alarming trend underscores the need for detection strategies specifically designed for Linux environments. To address this challenge, this study proposes a comprehensive malware detection framework tailored for Linux systems, integrating dynamic behavioral analysis with the… More >

Abstract This review explores multi-directional functionally graded (MDFG) nanostructures, focusing on their material characteristics, modeling approaches, and mechanical behavior. It starts by classifying different types of functionally graded (FG) materials such as conventional, axial, bi-directional, and tri-directional, and the material distribution models like power-law, exponential, trigonometric, polynomial functions, etc. It also discusses the application of advanced size-dependent theories like Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity, nonlocal strain gradient, modified couple stress, and consistent couple stress theories, which are essential to predict the behavior of structures at small scales. The review covers the mechanical analysis of MDFG nanostructures in nanobeams,… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract With the rapid development of mobile Internet, spatial crowdsourcing has become more and more popular. Spatial crowdsourcing consists of many different types of applications, such as spatial crowd-sensing services. In terms of spatial crowd-sensing, it collects and analyzes traffic sensing data from clients like vehicles and traffic lights to construct intelligent traffic prediction models. Besides collecting sensing data, spatial crowdsourcing also includes spatial delivery services like DiDi and Uber. Appropriate task assignment and worker selection dominate the service quality for spatial crowdsourcing applications. Previous research conducted task assignments via traditional matching approaches or using simple… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be defined as a neurodevelopmental condition or illness that can disturb kids who have heterogeneous characteristics, like changes in behavior, social disabilities, and difficulty communicating with others. Eye tracking (ET) has become a useful method to detect ASD. One vital aspect of moral erudition is the aptitude to have common visual attention. The eye-tracking approach offers valuable data regarding the visual behavior of children for accurate and early detection. Eye-tracking data can offer insightful information about the behavior and thought processes of people with ASD, but it is important to… More >

Abstract Visual motion segmentation (VMS) is an important and key part of many intelligent crowd systems. It can be used to figure out the flow behavior through a crowd and to spot unusual life-threatening incidents like crowd stampedes and crashes, which pose a serious risk to public safety and have resulted in numerous fatalities over the past few decades. Trajectory clustering has become one of the most popular methods in VMS. However, complex data, such as a large number of samples and parameters, makes it difficult for trajectory clustering to work well with accurate motion segmentation… More >

Abstract Abnormal behavior detection is challenging and one of the growing research areas in computer vision. The main aim of this research work is to focus on panic and escape behavior detections that occur during unexpected/uncertain events. In this work, Pyramidal Lucas Kanade algorithm is optimized using EMEHOs to achieve the objective. First stage, OPLKT-EMEHOs algorithm is used to generate the optical flow from MIIs. Second stage, the MIIs optical flow is applied as input to 3 layer CNN for detect the abnormal crowd behavior. University of Minnesota (UMN) dataset is used to evaluate the proposed More >

Abstract This paper proposes a methodology for using multi-modal data in gameplay to detect outlier behavior. The proposed methodology collects, synchronizes, and quantifies time-series data from webcams, mouses, and keyboards. Facial expressions are varied on a one-dimensional pleasure axis, and changes in expression in the mouth and eye areas are detected separately. Furthermore, the keyboard and mouse input frequencies are tracked to determine the interaction intensity of users. Then, we apply a dynamic time warp algorithm to detect outlier behavior. The detected outlier behavior graph patterns were the play patterns that the game designer did not More >
