  • Concept Drift Detection Method for Noisy Big Data Streams based on Least Squares Line Fitting   Order a copy of this article
    by Zhihong Qin, Zhanlei Shang, Fuhong Geng 
    Abstract: In order to improve the accuracy of concept drift detection in big data streams, a noisy big data streams concept drift detection method based on least squares line fitting is proposed. Firstly, the Kalman filter model is used to identify and remove noise components from the original data stream, and then the wavelet thresholding algorithm is used to filter out the remaining noise. Secondly, by fitting the denoised data stream with a least squares line, linear trend features are extracted to simulate the trend of concept drift. Finally, the Tr-OEM algorithm is used to identify concept drift in big data streams, and an efficient and accurate concept drift detection is achieved through a machine learning model that dynamically adapts to data changes. The experimental results show that the detection accuracy of our method remains between 96.89% and 97.45%, and the maximum average change distance does not exceed 1.

  • Secure Sharing of Electronic Medical Records based on Blockchain and Searchable Encryption   Order a copy of this article
    by Hongliang Tian, Aomen Zhao 
    Abstract: To solve the problems of long response time, low throughput, and high risk of data loss in current electronic medical record security sharing methods, a secure sharing method of electronic medical records based on blockchain and searchable encryption is proposed. The electronic medical record sharing architecture is built using blockchain technology. In this architecture, symmetric searchable encryption technology is introduced, and a parallel search mechanism is used to efficiently retrieve encrypted electronic medical record data while protecting data privacy, thus achieving secure sharing of electronic medical records. The experimental results show that this method has shorter response time and higher throughput in high concurrency situations, with a maximum response time of only 500ms and throughput ranging from 2340TPS to 2830TPS. Moreover, the data loss is extremely low in malicious attack environments, providing strong support for the development of smart healthcare

  • Faultload Sequences for the MQTT Protocol Services   Order a copy of this article
    by Amina Jandoubi, M.Taha Bennani, Olfa Mosbahi 
    Abstract: We have proposed preliminary results of a new approach to extract the sequences of events that model the fault injection times at the MQTT messaging protocol level to assess their reliability. After targeting publish service, we got seven possible scenarios to put the system in a faulty state. We introduced new algorithms to: (1) extract send and receive events from CFGs, (2) identify send/receive pairs, (3) time stamp the events using a vector clock, (4) filter sending events, and (5) generate alternative send sequences. In this paper, we extended the initial results by applying the approach to the services provided by the Publisher, the Subscriber, and the MQTT Broker, which increased the number of scenarios up to seventeen fault injection sequences. This contribution is the first step in formalising the description of all possible attacks on the MQTT protocol, which is crucial to reinforce the reliability of its services.

    by Cuicui Feng, Kai Huang, Wendi Wang, Xian Yu 
    Abstract: This study presented a new integrated forecasting model for improving the accuracy of stock price predictions for the Hang Seng Index. Using the ensemble learning theory, this research constructs the core modelling engine based on Adaptive Boosting (AdaBoost) is fine-tuned using three metaheuristic optimisation approaches: Particle Swarm Optimisation, Antli-on Optimisation, and Biogeography-Based Optimization. These algorithms are based on nature search for optimizing Ada-Boost hyperparameters such as the number of estimators, learning rate, and complexity of the base learner to improve generalisation and minimize prediction errors. The BBO-AdaBoost was the most superior one. A dataset including daily HSI stock prices- open, high, low, close, and volume-were obtained from 2015 to 2023. The data were min-max normalized and were split into 80:20 for training and testing. The results show that the BBO-AdaBoost achieved the best result with the least MAPE of 2.29%, outperforming both the stand-alone AdaBoost and other hybrid models.
