  Mobile cellular network security vulnerability detection using machine learning ( Free Full-text Access )

  by Gongping Chen, Hong Wang, Chuanqi Zhang 
  Abstract: Due to the low monitoring accuracy and duration of the traditional cellular mobile network security infringement monitoring system, a computerised cellular mobile network intelligent blank monitoring system is proposed. It connects the blank detection module to the scanner according to the data attributes to scan the blanks in the mobile cellular network. During the tracking of cyberspace signals, control the data space of the system session. Mobile cells of cellular networks introduce machine intelligence data processing learning algorithms hidden in the data. Experimental results show that ML-based cellular mobile network vulnerability detection (VD-MCN) can effectively improve system control accuracy and cellular network security space control efficiency, but there are still some things that are ignored to improve the development efficiency of MCN, and developers often only care about themselves Whether the corresponding functions can be realised in the process of code reuse, but the lack of understanding, inspection and testing of the reuse code, and the integration of these, can achieve our expected results.

According to the characteristics of football competition, the human motion tracking algorithm is proposed. Through the template representation, candidate target representation, similarity measurement calculation and search strategy, the dynamic target is tracked in real-time, and its dynamic information is obtained. Finally, the star skeleton feature is used to extract the football foul action feature, and the image feature is transformed into available data to realise the data extraction of action feature.

• A PRI estimation and signal deinterleaving method based on density-based clustering  
  by Lei Wang, Zhiyong Zhang, Tianyu Li, Tianhe Zhang 
  Abstract: In the existing statistics-based PRI estimation method, it is difficult to improve the PRI estimation accuracy due to the contradiction between the width of the statistical interval and the PRI extraction accuracy. In order to improve the accuracy of PRI estimation, a radar signal PRI estimation and deinterleaving method based on the density-based clustering is proposed in this paper. The dense area of the time of arrival (TOA) difference sequence near the true PRI value is extracted out by density-based clustering, take the intra-class mean value as the PRI estimation value and the intra-class point dispersion interval length as the PRI jitter amplitude. Combined with the sequence searching method with dynamic tolerance, the pulse sequence with a large number of pulses and small PRI jitter is preferentially extracted, which can improve the accuracy of signal deinterleaving. The simulation results show that the proposed method can significantly improve the accuracy of PRI estimation and the success rate of signal deinterleaving in the case of PRI jitter and false pulse interference.

• Colossal pattern extraction using optimised length constraints based on differential evolutionary arithmetic optimisation algorithm  
  by T. Sreenivasula Reddy, R. Sathya, Mallikharjunarao Nuka 
  Abstract: Extracting large amounts of information and knowledge from a large database is a trivial task. Existing bulk item mining algorithms for an extensive database are systematic and mathematically expensive and cannot be used for large-scale mining with interruptions. In this paper, the problem of mining the colossal patterns (CPs) is solved by using optimised length constraints (LCs). First, we describe the minimum LC and maximum LC problems and connect them to the optimal LC by identifying the optimal threshold values. Here, the differential evolutionary arithmetic optimisation algorithm (DAOA) is used to find the optimal threshold values of the constraints and extract the colossal patterns. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is proven by various experiments using different biological datasets.
  Keywords: biological databases; colossal patterns; differential evolutionary arithmetic optimisation algorithm; DAOA; massive data itemset; optimised length constraints.

• Securing BYOD environment from social and mobility related threats: the case of Nigerian banking sector  
  by Lizzy Oluwatoyin Ofusori, Prabhakar Rontala Subramaniam 
  Abstract: Globally, bring your own device (BYOD) is gradually gaining popularity in work environments and businesses. The benefits of BYOD, which include increased productivity, flexibility, and efficiency, have necessitated all sectors to adopt this trend to maximise the benefits. The banking sector, in particular, has been at the forefront of the adoption of BYOD, and employees are now enjoying the benefits. However, despite BYOD benefits, security threats and privacy invasion have been a major concern for individuals and organisations. Ofusori et al. (2018) have classified these threats into technical, social and mobility threats. Thus, this paper investigates the influence of social and mobility threats as it relates to BYOD phenomenon in the banking sector. Data was collected from Nigerian bank employees, and the study found that there are overlapping threats due to the influence of social threats over mobility threats. This study addresses the overlap security threats.

• Analysing the Algerian social movement through Twitter  
  by Meriem Laifa, Djamila Mohdeb, Mouhoub Belazzoug 
  Abstract: Technology has altered collective actions guidance resulting in a new regulatory frame for action. For the sake of being successful in a social movement, people plan and advertise in advance to encourage and gather greater participation to strengthen the influence of crowds. For this, social media offers exceptional opportunities to organise masses of people into actions with lower participation expenses, and to foster new repositories of information and actions that go beyond communities offline. While most contemporary social movements have been studied from different perspectives, the Algerian social movement (i.e., Hirak) was overlooked in the literature. This paper presents a distinctive foundation for understanding the Algerian Hirak through analysing Twitter data. The used approach is established mainly at the intersection of sociology and data analysis, with the intention to generate an improved discernment of this movement. Promising future research directions are also discussed in this paper.

• Received signal strength-based power map generation in a 2-D obstructed wireless sensor network  
  by Mrinmoy Sen, Indrajit Banerjee, Tuhina Samanta 
  Abstract: This paper analyses the effect of received signal strength (RSS) in efficient deployment, in presence of obstacles. We consider RSS based power values, so that x-y plane represents the spatial coordinates within a target field and z coordinates denote power values over the field. We plot the power values on the x-y coordinates, addressed as power map, having some peaks and falls: the peaks represent strong signals and the falls represent weak signals at the co-ordinates. It is intuitive that locations with strong signals are more suitable for communications. The falls in the power strength indicates that more sensor nodes are to be put for successful communications. We validate the proposed scheme via simulations as well as small-scale indoor and outdoor experiments with XBee sensor motes. We propose an algorithm to estimate the received power and analyse the estimated results with the results generated through the hardware test-bed.

  by Xiaodong Mao, Haiyan Li, Shixin Sun 
  Abstract: In order to overcome the problems of time-consuming and weak attack defence of traditional authentication methods, this paper proposes a new dynamic bidirectional authentication method for user identity in wireless sensor network based on DES algorithm. This method uses DES algorithm to complete the user identity information encryption at the client-side through three steps: initial transposition, encryption operation and final transposition of identity information. In view of the server transmission to obtain the challenge value, combined with the one-time password DES to distinguish the authenticity of the server, the user identity authenticity verification is completed. Through the client-side and server-side legitimacy verification, the dynamic bidirectional security authentication of user identity is realised. The experimental results show that the proposed method is efficient, and the security of identity authentication is stronger, which provides theoretical support for the research of related fields.

Securing a multi-agent platform was introduced through a security system called 'SMASP'. The performance results show that the framework is almost idle while the user is composing the query. The workload is low on CPU and memory. This framework receives multiple data sources through cloudlet. Ontologies support a secure multi-agent system with different operations such as reasoner agents and query agents. Using the cloudlet architecture gives the flexibility to overcome intensive computing and sensitivity to latency.

• An efficient single unit for virtual-machine placement in cloud data centres  
  by Salam Ismaeel, Ali Miri, Ayman Al-Khazraji 
  Abstract: There are numerous energy minimisation plans are adopted in today’s data centres (DCs). The highest important ones are those that depend on switching off unused physical machines (PMs). This is usually done by optimal distribution and/or reallocating of virtual machines (VMs) on the selected servers. While maintaining the quality of service (QoS) to ensure the performance of a DC. In this work, a novel server machine condition index (MCI) has been proposed, which includes all resources related to servers available in the DC using a single unit. The MCI represents a dynamic tool to compare services, increase effectiveness, reflect PM adequation, and ensure the optimal management of heterogeneous DC resources. The MCI will be used to convert the multi-objective VM allocation optimisation problem into a single-objective problem. This work will identify the MCI components and the way that can be used as a cloud resource unit, and modified VMP algorithms.

• Community detection of trajectory data for location-based facility recommendation system  
  by B.A. Sabarish, R. Karthi, T. Gireesh Kumar 
  Abstract: Trajectory contains spatial-data generated from traces of moving objects like people, animals, etc. Community generated from trajectories portrays common behaviour. Trajectory clustering based on community-detection involves region-graph generation and community-detection. In region-graph generation, Trajectories are projected to spatial grid to transform GPS representation into string representation. Sequential graph is generated from string representation. Edge-based similarity is calculated between trajectories to create an adjacency matrix representing relationship and represent entire region. In community-detection phase, region-graph is divided into communities using various algorithms and validated using modularity values. Based on analysis, Louvain, fast-greedy, leading-eigenvector, and edge-Betweenness algorithms provide the optimum modularity value for better community detection. Analysing the community can be used as a pre-processing step in identifying location for location-based services (LBS), including hotspots, delay-tolerant-networks, and mobile antenna placements for better coverage. Design and capacity planning of the network based on the size and pattern of the community improves quality of LBS.

• Multi-feature fusion friend recommendation algorithm based on complex network  
  by Kan Pan, Hailong Chen, Qian Liu, Jian Wang, Yingming Pu, Chunlin Yin, Zheng Yang, Na Zhao 
  Abstract: At present, one of the problems of friend recommendation algorithms used in most social networks is that these networks often rely on a single index for recommendation. To solve this problem, multi-feature fusion (MFF) algorithm, a social network friend recommendation algorithm based on complex network theory, is proposed. The recommendation algorithm works by firstly divides the existing social networks into different communities. The importance of nodes in a social network is then calculated through the fusion of nodes’ importance information. Lastly, by integrating node importance information, friend number information and the shortest path information, features are comprehensively evaluated so as to generate final friend recommendation list. Simulation shows that, with the increase of network nodes, the MFF algorithm outperforms common friend (CF) algorithm and friend similarity (FS) algorithm over all evaluation indicators including P value, R value and F value.

• Content and opinion-enhanced neural model for opinion sentence classification of Chinese microblog comments  
  by Yan Xiang, Junjun Guo, Yuxin Huang, Zhengtao Yu 
  Abstract: Opinion sentence classification of Chinese microblog comments aims to recognise those comments with opinions about the specific microblog content, which is the basis of internet public opinion analysis and opinion mining. However, existing opinion sentence classification methods do not consider whether the opinion sentences point at concerned objects or not. To address these issues, we propose a novel neural model which combines the microblog content relevance-enhanced module and the opinion representation-enhanced module. In the first module, we propose a mutual attention operation that enables the model to extract better features representing microblog content. In the second module, we employ sentiment word embedding and self-attention operations to enhance the ability of the model to extract the opinion features. We evaluate our model using a Chinese microblog comment dataset. Experimental results show that the accuracy of the proposed model is 2%-5% higher than that of the baseline models, which shows that the proposed content relevance-enhancement and attention mechanism are beneficial to this task.

• A Huffman based short message service compression technique using adjacent distance array  
  by Pranta Sarker, Mir Lutfur Rahman 
  Abstract: The short message service (SMS) is a wireless medium of transmission that allows you to send brief text messages. Cell phone devices have an uttermost SMS capacity of 1,120 bits in the traditional system. Moreover, the conventional SMS employs seven bits for each character, allowing the highest 160 characters for an SMS text message to be transmitted. This research demonstrated that an SMS message could contain more than 200 characters by representing around five bits each, introducing a data structure, namely, adjacent distance array (ADA) using the Huffman principle. Allowing the concept of lossless data compression technique, the proposed method of the research generates character’s codeword utilising the standard Huffman. However, the ADA encodes the message by putting the ASCII value distances of all characters, and decoding performs by avoiding the whole Huffman tree traverse, which is the pivotal contribution of the research to develop an effective SMS compression technique for personal digital assistants (PDAs). The encoding and decoding processes have been discussed and contrasted with the conventional SMS text message system, where our proposed ADA technique performs outstandingly better from every aspect discovered after evaluating all outcomes.

• Fuzzy-based weighted fair queue scheduling technique for internet of things networks  
  by Harpreet Kaur, Manoj Kumar, Sukhpreet Kaur Sidhu, Sukhwinder Singh Sran 
  Abstract: In an IoT enabled network, a variety of devices are interconnected to each other and communicate by using ultra low power communication technology known as time slotted channel hopping mechanism. To transmit information accurately, efficiently and in collision free manner, a scheduling window is implemented for the devices deployed in the network. The priority scheduling is one of the solutions implemented recently in which nodes have high priority to transmit data first. Such algorithms can block low priority communication channels indefinitely that may leave some events unreported. In order to achieve fairness, efficiency in scheduling, we used fuzzy-based weighted fair queue scheduling algorithm. So, the fuzzy-based weighted fair queue scheduling suppresses the unfairness in the scheduling mechanism for communication paths having little information. The weighted fair queue scheduling algorithm belongs to a class of scheduling algorithms that are used in network schedulers. To implement this algorithm and compare the performance with the existing technique, the MATLAB platform is used. The results reveal the improvements in network throughput, end-to-end delay, energy consumption rate, network lifetime, congestion rate and packet loss ratio as compared to existing work in the similar scenarios.

  by Ziqiang Zhang, Zhiru Li, Liang Yan 
  Abstract: Load forecasting is a basic work of power dispatching, planning and other departments, and has always attracted attention from inside and outside the industry. The purpose of this is to make the extracted features nonlinear and to be able to learn more complex knowledge. The improved LSTM network is introduced to make a short-term forecast of wind power load. The dataset used in this experiment is the foreign GEFcom2014-Load wind power dataset. Because the dimension units of the 24-dimensional impact indicators in the dataset are different, in order to eliminate the dimensional impact between the indicators, the data is normalised in the experiment by adopting the min-max standardisation method. The experimental results show that the training error, validation error, and test error of the improved method are all reduced by 1%, 18%, and 16% compared with the second, third, and fourth groups.

• Brain computer interface with EEG signals to improve feedback system in higher education based on augmentative and alternative communication  
  by Hua Sun, Hongxia Hou, Wenxia Song, Hongjuan Hu, Na Liu, Achyut Shankar 
  Abstract: A predictive brain-computer interface is a way to monitor EEG signals in humans currently under the experiment to understand the capability and get proper feedback about the digital education systems. The use of dynamically processed and collected data in a feedback system is unfeasible. Substantial processing delays are caused by a large volume of data utilised by the modern higher educational ideas. An artificial intelligence assisted brain-computer interface feedback system (AI-BCIFS) for ugmentative and alternative communication is proposed to improve feedback analysis based on the EEG signals. AI-BCIFS method is proposed to avoid an unwanted and improper understanding of feedback in the higher education systems. An expanded optimisation methodology is introduced based on the feedback analysis, and the enhanced seeking feedback protocol (ESFP) has been developed to describe automatic recognition and storage. The experimental studies show that AI-BCIFAC is preferable to the existing approaches in terms of accuracy.

• A deep learning approach in brain-computer interaction for augmentative and alternative communication  
  by Yubin Liu 
  Abstract: The electroencephalography classification is the primary aspect of brain-computer systems. The changes there are two main concerns. Firstly, conventional approaches do not use multimodal knowledge to their fullest degree. Second, it is almost unlikely to obtain the rule-based EEG repositories as genetic information processing is complex, and metadata accuracy is expensive. In this sense, researchers suggest a new approach named deep learning-based brain-computer interaction (DLBCI) for augmentative and alternative communication to profound transfer learning to address these issues. Initially, these model perceptual activities based on EEG signals, using the EEG input images characterisation, which is intended to retain a standardised description of multimodal ECG signals. Secondly, this model develops a deep-scope transmission of knowledge through joint operations, including an opponent’s infrastructure and an incredibly unique transfer function. The proposed framework for EEG classification problems, such as strength and precision, has many economic benefits in experimentation.
