    A Hybrid Machine Learning Approach for Improvised QoE in Video Services over 5G Wireless Networks

    K. B. Ajeyprasaath, P. Vetrivelan*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.78, No.3, pp. 3195-3213, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.046911

    Abstract Video streaming applications have grown considerably in recent years. As a result, this becomes one of the most significant contributors to global internet traffic. According to recent studies, the telecommunications industry loses millions of dollars due to poor video Quality of Experience (QoE) for users. Among the standard proposals for standardizing the quality of video streaming over internet service providers (ISPs) is the Mean Opinion Score (MOS). However, the accurate finding of QoE by MOS is subjective and laborious, and it varies depending on the user. A fully automated data analytics framework is required to reduce the inter-operator variability characteristic… More >

    Abstract Software Defined Network (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) technology promote several benefits to network operators, including reduced maintenance costs, increased network operational performance, simplified network lifecycle, and policies management. Network vulnerabilities try to modify services provided by Network Function Virtualization MANagement and Orchestration (NFV MANO), and malicious attacks in different scenarios disrupt the NFV Orchestrator (NFVO) and Virtualized Infrastructure Manager (VIM) lifecycle management related to network services or individual Virtualized Network Function (VNF). This paper proposes an anomaly detection mechanism that monitors threats in NFV MANO and manages promptly and adaptively to implement and handle security functions in order… More >

    RESTlogic: Detecting Logic Vulnerabilities in Cloud REST APIs

    Ziqi Wang*, Weihan Tian, Baojiang Cui

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.78, No.2, pp. 1797-1820, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.047051

    Abstract The API used to access cloud services typically follows the Representational State Transfer (REST) architecture style. RESTful architecture, as a commonly used Application Programming Interface (API) architecture paradigm, not only brings convenience to platforms and tenants, but also brings logical security challenges. Security issues such as quota bypass and privilege escalation are closely related to the design and implementation of API logic. Traditional code level testing methods are difficult to construct a testing model for API logic and test samples for in-depth testing of API logic, making it difficult to detect such logical vulnerabilities. We propose RESTlogic for this purpose.… More >

    Performance Prediction Based Workload Scheduling in Co-Located Cluster

    Dongyang Ou, Yongjian Ren, Congfeng Jiang*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.2, pp. 2043-2067, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.029987

    Abstract Cloud service providers generally co-locate online services and batch jobs onto the same computer cluster, where the resources can be pooled in order to maximize data center resource utilization. Due to resource competition between batch jobs and online services, co-location frequently impairs the performance of online services. This study presents a quality of service (QoS) prediction-based scheduling model (QPSM) for co-located workloads. The performance prediction of QPSM consists of two parts: the prediction of an online service’s QoS anomaly based on XGBoost and the prediction of the completion time of an offline batch job based on random forest. On-line service… More >

    Models to Simulate Effective Coverage of Fire Station Based on Real-Time Travel Times

    Sicheng Zhu, Dingli Liu*, Weijun Liu, Ying Li, Tian Zhou

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.1, pp. 483-513, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.044809

    Abstract In recent years, frequent fire disasters have led to enormous damage in China. Effective firefighting rescues can minimize the losses caused by fires. During the rescue processes, the travel time of fire trucks can be severely affected by traffic conditions, changing the effective coverage of fire stations. However, it is still challenging to determine the effective coverage of fire stations considering dynamic traffic conditions. This paper addresses this issue by combining the traveling time calculation model with the effective coverage simulation model. In addition, it proposes a new index of total effective coverage area (TECA) based on the time-weighted average… More >

    Salam Al-E’mari1, Yousef Sanjalawe2,*, Ahmad Al-Daraiseh3, Mohammad Bany Taha4, Mohammad Aladaileh2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.1, pp. 1-41, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.043627

    Abstract Amid the landscape of Cloud Computing (CC), the Cloud Datacenter (DC) stands as a conglomerate of physical servers, whose performance can be hindered by bottlenecks within the realm of proliferating CC services. A linchpin in CC’s performance, the Cloud Service Broker (CSB), orchestrates DC selection. Failure to adroitly route user requests with suitable DCs transforms the CSB into a bottleneck, endangering service quality. To tackle this, deploying an efficient CSB policy becomes imperative, optimizing DC selection to meet stringent Quality-of-Service (QoS) demands. Amidst numerous CSB policies, their implementation grapples with challenges like costs and availability. This article undertakes a holistic… More >

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.1, pp. 783-800, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.043469

    Abstract Bitcoin is widely used as the most classic electronic currency for various electronic services such as exchanges, gambling, marketplaces, and also scams such as high-yield investment projects. Identifying the services operated by a Bitcoin address can help determine the risk level of that address and build an alert model accordingly. Feature engineering can also be used to flesh out labeled addresses and to analyze the current state of Bitcoin in a small way. In this paper, we address the problem of identifying multiple classes of Bitcoin services, and for the poor classification of individual addresses that do not have significant… More >

    Riza Altunay1,2,*, Omer Faruk Bay3

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.77, No.3, pp. 2881-2897, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.042340

    Abstract The use of fog computing in the Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a crucial solution, bringing cloud services closer to end users to process large amounts of data generated within the system. Despite its advantages, the increasing task demands from IoT objects often overload fog devices with limited resources, resulting in system delays, high network usage, and increased energy consumption. One of the major challenges in fog computing for IoT applications is the efficient deployment of services between fog clouds. To address this challenge, we propose a novel Optimal Foraging Algorithm (OFA) for task placement on appropriate fog… More >

    Shimaa M. Amer1, Ashraf A. M. Khalaf2, Amr H. Hussein3,4, Salman A. Alqahtani5, Mostafa H. Dahshan6, Hossam M. Kassem3,4,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.138, No.3, pp. 2749-2767, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.029138

    Abstract Side lobe level reduction (SLL) of antenna arrays significantly enhances the signal-to-interference ratio and improves the quality of service (QOS) in recent and future wireless communication systems starting from 5G up to 7G. Furthermore, it improves the array gain and directivity, increasing the detection range and angular resolution of radar systems. This study proposes two highly efficient SLL reduction techniques. These techniques are based on the hybridization between either the single convolution or the double convolution algorithms and the genetic algorithm (GA) to develop the Conv/GA and DConv/GA, respectively. The convolution process determines the element’s excitations while the GA optimizes… More >
