Abstract The increasing interconnection of modern industrial control systems (ICSs) with the Internet has enhanced operational efficiency, but also made these systems more vulnerable to cyberattacks. This heightened exposure has driven a growing need for robust ICS security measures. Among the key defences, intrusion detection technology is critical in identifying threats to ICS networks. This paper provides an overview of the distinctive characteristics of ICS network security, highlighting standard attack methods. It then examines various intrusion detection methods, including those based on misuse detection, anomaly detection, machine learning, and specialised requirements. This paper concludes by exploring More >

Abstract With the rapid development of transportation infrastructure, ensuring road safety through timely and accurate highway inspection has become increasingly critical. Traditional manual inspection methods are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but they also struggle to provide consistent, high-precision detection and real-time monitoring of pavement surface defects. To overcome these limitations, we propose an Automatic Recognition of Pavement Defect (ARPD) algorithm, which leverages unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based aerial imagery to automate the inspection process. The ARPD framework incorporates a backbone network based on the Selective State Space Model (S³M), which is designed to capture long-range temporal dependencies.… More >

Abstract Long-term traffic flow prediction is a crucial component of intelligent transportation systems within intelligent networks, requiring predictive models that balance accuracy with low-latency and lightweight computation to optimize traffic management and enhance urban mobility and sustainability. However, traditional predictive models struggle to capture long-term temporal dependencies and are computationally intensive, limiting their practicality in real-time. Moreover, many approaches overlook the periodic characteristics inherent in traffic data, further impacting performance. To address these challenges, we introduce ST-MambaGCN, a State-Space-Based Spatio-Temporal Graph Convolution Network. Unlike conventional models, ST-MambaGCN replaces the temporal attention layer with Mamba, a state-space More >

Abstract This paper investigates the traffic offloading optimization challenge in Space-Air-Ground Integrated Networks (SAGIN) through a novel Recursive Multi-Agent Proximal Policy Optimization (RMAPPO) algorithm. The exponential growth of mobile devices and data traffic has substantially increased network congestion, particularly in urban areas and regions with limited terrestrial infrastructure. Our approach jointly optimizes unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) trajectories and satellite-assisted offloading strategies to simultaneously maximize data throughput, minimize energy consumption, and maintain equitable resource distribution. The proposed RMAPPO framework incorporates recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to model temporal dependencies in UAV mobility patterns and utilizes a decentralized multi-agent More >

Abstract In the competitive retail industry of the digital era, data-driven insights into gender-specific customer behavior are essential. They support the optimization of store performance, layout design, product placement, and targeted marketing. However, existing computer vision solutions often rely on facial recognition to gather such insights, raising significant privacy and ethical concerns. To address these issues, this paper presents a privacy-preserving customer analytics system through two key strategies. First, we deploy a deep learning framework using YOLOv9s, trained on the RCA-TVGender dataset. Cameras are positioned perpendicular to observation areas to reduce facial visibility while maintaining accurate More >

Abstract Hazardous gas intrusion in tightly sealed and geometrically complex confined spaces, such as armored tanks, poses a critical threat to occupant health. The intricate internal structure of these systems may lead to non-intuitive pollutant transport pathways. However, the spatial and temporal evolution of these structures, as well as the intrinsic mechanisms of the purification systems, remain poorly elucidated. In this study, a high-fidelity, transient three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was developed to simulate the leakage and dispersion of carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) using the RNG k-ε turbulence model. Scenarios with and without… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Phishing is considered one of the most widespread cybercrimes due to the fact that it combines both technical and human vulnerabilities with the intention of stealing sensitive information. Traditional blacklist and heuristic-based defenses fail to detect such emerging attack patterns; hence, intelligent and transparent detection systems are needed. This paper proposes an explainable machine learning framework that integrates predictive performance with regulatory accountability. Four models were trained and tested on a balanced dataset of 10,000 URLs, comprising 5000 phishing and 5000 legitimate samples, each characterized by 48 lexical and content-based features: Decision Tree, XGBoost, Logistic… More >

Abstract The evolving sophistication of network threats demands anomaly detection methods that are both robust and adaptive. While autoencoders excel at learning normal traffic patterns, they struggle with complex feature interactions and require manual tuning for different environments. We introduce the Adaptive Robust AutoEncoder (ARAE), a novel framework that dynamically balances reconstruction fidelity with latent space regularization through learnable loss weighting. ARAE incorporates multi-head attention to model feature dependencies and fuses multiple anomaly indicators into an adaptive scoring mechanism. Extensive evaluation on four benchmark datasets demonstrates that ARAE significantly outperforms existing autoencoder variants and classical methods, More >

Abstract Robust stereo disparity estimation plays a critical role in minimally invasive surgery, where dynamic soft tissues, specular reflections, and data scarcity pose major challenges to traditional end-to-end deep learning and deformable model-based methods. In this paper, we propose a novel disparity estimation framework that leverages a pretrained StyleGAN generator to represent the disparity manifold of Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) scenes and reformulates the stereo matching task as a latent-space optimization problem. Specifically, given a stereo pair, we search for the optimal latent vector in the intermediate latent space of StyleGAN, such that the photometric reconstruction… More >

Abstract Considérée souvent en France comme discontinue, la transition du bâti urbain-rural est largement envisagé comme continue au niveau international. Si la question de la forme urbaine n’est donc, aujourd’hui, plus en suspens du fait des très nombreuses études à l’échelle internationale, la limite urbain périurbain et rural isolé convient d’être néanmoins encore réinterrogée. La notion de proxémique développée dans les années 1970, pourrait permettre une résolution du problème. Utiliser cette notion pour revoir la métrique géographique pourrait permettre de réviser la limite urbain-campagne et raisonner alors sur un espace continu au-delà même des limites du More >
