Random forest-based intrusion detection system

Bojun Song

This article chooses to use the Random Forest algorithm to improve the performance of network intrusion detection systems. The algorithm significantly improves the accuracy, recall and precision of network intrusion detection compared to traditional methods. The required data and experimental results were obtained from the LUFlow dataset by using a more accurate feature extraction method. Eventually, the readability and comprehension of the experimental results were enhanced by visualizing them. Overall, the performance of the network intrusion detection system based on the random forest method has been significantly improved. However, there are still some problems in the experiment, such as the lack of comparison with other commonly used intrusion detection methods or algorithms. Similar problems make the experiment lack of comprehensiveness. Therefore, future research should consider introducing more kinds of intrusion detection methods for comparative analysis to further validate and improve the performance of the system. In addition, extending the dataset of the experiments and improving the feature extraction techniques may also bring additional improvements. In summary, although the performance of the random forest-based network intrusion detection system has been improved, there is still much room for improvement and research potential.

Optimization of the D2D Topology Formation Using a Novel Two-Stage Deep ML Approach for 6G Mobile Networks

Ioannou Iacovos

Optimizing device-to-device (D2D) topologies is pivotal for enhancing the performance and efficiency of 6G networks. This paper introduces a novel approach for forming optimal subnet trees within the  6G networks using BDIx agents and advanced Minimum-Weight Spanning Tree (MWST/MST) algorithms augmented by Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and FeedForward Neural Networks (FFNN). Our solution aims to significantly boost network performance, particularly in high-demand scenarios such as urban areas, large-scale events, and remote locations. Our approach dynamically adapts to changing network conditions, user movements, and traffic patterns by minimizing power consumption and maximizing throughput. We implement various MWST algorithms, including Kruskal's, Prim's, and Boruvka's algorithms, and introduce a GNN model to predict edge weights combined with FFNNs to select parent nodes (called GNN-FFNN model), aiding in the construction of minimum-weight spanning trees (MWST). Additionally, a "weighted distance" metric is proposed to analyze network performance comprehensively. The proposed AI/ML-driven solution integrates BDIx agents with MWST algorithms, focusing on optimizing subnets under gNodeB in 6G networks, enhancing data transmission efficiency, reducing latency, and increasing throughput. This research contributes to developing scalable and flexible network management solutions suitable for diverse configurations and architectures.

Conception of an Autonomous Dynamic Analysis System for Android Malwares

Ahmed Mehaoua

This paper focuses on dynamic analysis for malware detection on Android. Initially, a literature review was conducted to understand both static and dynamic analysis approaches and their limitations, particularly highlighting the shortcomings of static analysis. The study demonstrates techniques for extracting various traces, such as system calls and network traffic, using dynamic analysis. The core of the study is the design of an automated system for the dynamic analysis of Android malware. This system automates the capture and analysis of APK traces using modules that monitor system calls, debug logs, and network traffic. It was found that relying on a single dynamic analysis module is insufficient, leading to false negatives, whereas combining data from all three modules enhances detection accuracy. Future directions include developing an intermediary using MQTT to reduce database load and improving the learning process for the three modules.

Multi-Constraint Routing and Relay Scheduling Algorithms for Optical Networks

Longjiang Li

The challenge of optimal optical signal transmission in optical fiber networks is crucial for enhancing the network's reliability, performance, and service quality.  Traditional pathfinding methods, such as Dijkstra's algorithm, focus on finding the shortest path but fail to account for critical factors like optical signal loss and wavelength continuity. This paper proposes a novel algorithm that integrates traditional pathfinding methods with multi-constraint checks to effectively overcome these challenges. Inspired by the similarity between multi-constrained pathfinding in optical networks and vehicle charging path planning model, our approach aims to identify the optimal path in large-scale optical networks quickly. The simulation results demonstrate that our approach successfully addresses the complex requirements of optical signal routing and relay under multiple constraints, achieving promising outcomes.

Enhanced DOA Estimation Using Eigenvalue Reconstruction and Toeplitz Preprocessing

Shahzad Ali

Reliable Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimation is crucial for the performance of wireless communication systems. In this paper, we introduce a refined DOA estimation method that combines eigenvalue reconstruction of the noise subspace and Toeplitz preprocessing with the Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm. The proposed technique enhances the consistency of the noise subspace and improves the algorithm's resolution. Extensive simulations demonstrate that the method outperforms both the standard MUSIC and the MUSIC with Eigenvalue Reconstruction (MUSIC_ER) techniques. Notably, our approach shows enhanced performance in terms of root mean square error (RMSE) across snapshot ranges from 1 to 10. These enhancements make the proposed method (MUSIC_TR) a practical and effective option, especially in low-snapshot scenarios, providing an alternative solution for DOA estimation.

The Classification and Objective Measure of Strength of an Exercise via Analysis of Electromygraphy

Panusorn Hanchaikul Minchaya Sirilerdsacksakul

In recent years, telehealth and telerehabilitation have been on the rise due to lock down and quarantine placing restrictions on in-person healthcare during the 2020 Covid Pandemic. However, there are some limitations to the service that physicians are able to do it remotely. This paper proposes a contemporary way of collecting more data from the remote patient to help during their telerehabilitation appointments. Surface electrodes are placed on the participants' forearm flexor muscles and samples were collected for each exercise. The data were then analyzed and the features, RMS, IEMG, and VAR were used. The exertion of the strength of the muscle during an exercise could be seen from plotting the RMS of the exercise to the IEMG time domain graph, and the classification of the exercise could be interpreted from the IEMG data from one exercise, that has been normalized, which was plotted as a box plot diagram to be compared with the other exercises. The findings from this paper could be used in helping to build a model to ensure that the exercises are done correctly and the muscles are not being strained too hard during an exercise by the physician during a telerehabilitation session.

Optimizing YOLOv8 for Efficient Tomato Recognition in Greenhouse Environments Using Drone Imagery

Oleg Shovkovyy

<strong><em>This study delves into the practical application and fine-tuning of YOLOv8 models for real-time tomato recognition using drone imagery within greenhouse environments. We evaluated YOLO&rsquo;s speed, robustness, and adaptability, finding that varying batch sizes and epochs had minimal impact on performance. Notably, YOLOv8n performed on par with the extra-large YOLOv8x model, offering a significant advantage: training time was up to 60 times shorter. Further tuning and innovative training strategies revealed that the Final Learning Rate (lrf) and dataset annotation quality were the most influential factors for model performance. Fine-tuning the lrf and re-annotating datasets markedly improved accuracy, underscoring the importance of optimizing learning rates and maintaining high-quality annotations for effective YOLO models. Our results also demonstrated the superiority of YOLOv8 over YOLOv5. The optimized YOLOv8n model is well-prepared for deployment in upcoming tomato recognition tasks, paving the way for more efficient agricultural monitoring. This work also provides valuable insights into the broader field of object recognition and offers practical guidance for researchers tackling similar challenges.</em></strong>
