Smart Grids (SG) rely on Home Area Networks (HAN) and Neighborhood Area Networks (NAN) to ensure efficient power distribution, real-time monitoring, and seamless communication between smart devices. Despite these advantages, the use of public communication channels in HAN and NAN networks introduces critical challenges, such as vulnerability to impersonation, physical tampering, and scalability issues in resource-constrained environments. These issues compromise the stability, reliability, and security of SG environments. Existing protocols often fail to adequately address these challenges, particularly in ensuring resistance to physical tampering of supply lines and impersonation attacks. Additionally, they struggle to minimize the computation, communication, and energy costs associated with securing a resource-constrained SG environment. Therefore, we propose a robust key exchange and tamper-resistant protocol for HAN and NAN networks to address these limitations. The proposed protocol leverages the Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) mechanism to offer physical tampering resistance to smart meters. We validate our protocol formally using the Random or Real (RoR) model, which confirms its security robustness. Additionally, our informal security analysis highlights the protocol's resilience against impersonation, physical tampering attacks, etc. We analyze and compare the performance of the proposed protocol, which further demonstrates our protocol's effectiveness and security compared to competing protocols. Moreover, the proposed protocol achieves resource efficiency with 45.99% and 58.85% substantial reductions in computation overhead and energy overhead, respectively, compared to competing protocols. These results showcase the protocol's enhanced security and practicality for resource-constrained SG environments. © 2014 IEEE.

In the last few years, and particularly during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, E-Learning has become a very important and strategic asset for our society, relevant both for academic and industry settings, involving participants ranging from students to professionals. Different applications have been developed to support E-Learning to be an effective tool, particularly in relation to the software engineering and programming areas. However, in order to be effective, in particular within academic settings, such tools require students to be continuously engaged and motivated to learn both practical and theoretical aspects. The integration of gamification in educational environments has gained considerable prominence as a potential mean to augment students’ motivation and involvement, providing them with immediate feedback and reinforcement, bolstering their sense of accomplishment and motivation to persist in their studies. However, to design gamified applications that can effectively engage and motivate users, as the literature has demonstrated, it is required to consider psychological, sociological, and human behavioural aspects, often referred to as Acceptance Requirements. This study presents a case study, where a Goal Modeling-based, Systematic, Acceptance Requirements Analysis and Gamification Design process, has been applied, by using the Agon framework, to prototype a gamified tool, aiming at engaging students towards learning both theory and practice related to a "Web-Based Mobile App Development" university module. To evaluate our proposed prototype, students were involved to use our proposed gamified prototype. The results show that our gamification solution can engage and motivate students towards learning both theoretical and practical aspects of the module. © 2024 by SCITEPRESS – science and Technology Publications, Lda.

Arithmetic operations and expression evaluations are fundamental in computing models. This paper firstly designs arithmetic membranes without priority rules for basic arithmetic operations, and then proposes an algorithm to construct expression P systems based on several of such membranes after designing synchronous and asynchronous transmission strategies among the membranes. For any arithmetic expression, an expression P system can be built to evaluate it effectively. Finally, we discuss different parallelism strategies through which different expression P systems can be built for an arithmetic expression.

The field of adversarial textual attack has significantly grown over the past few years, where the commonly considered objective is to craft adversarial examples (AEs) that can successfully fool the target model. However, the imperceptibility of attacks, which is also essential for practical attackers, is often left out by previous studies. In consequence, the crafted AEs tend to have obvious structural and semantic differences from the original human-written text, making them easily perceptible. In this work, we advocate leveraging multi-objectivization to address such an issue. Specifically, we reformulate the problem of crafting AEs as a multi-objective optimization problem, where the attack imperceptibility is considered as an auxiliary objective. Then, we propose a simple yet effective evolutionary algorithm, dubbed HydraText, to solve this problem. HydraText can be effectively applied to both score-based and decision-based attack settings. Exhaustive experiments involving 44,237 instances demonstrate that HydraText consistently achieves competitive attack success rates and better attack imperceptibility than the recently proposed attack approaches. A human evaluation study also shows that the AEs crafted by HydraText are more indistinguishable from human-written text. Finally, these AEs exhibit good transferability and can bring notable robustness improvement to the target model by adversarial training. © 2024 Copyright held by the owner/author(s).

Recently, hash learning has attracted much attention due to its ability to convert high-dimensional data into compact binary codes for efficient retrieval and storage. However, most classification-based supervised hashing methods neglect the original goal of increasing the similarity of similar samples while reducing the similarity of different samples in the learned hash code. In this paper, we combine the idea of linear discriminant analysis with hash learning by designing a new scatter matrix and propose a supervised hash learning framework to learn optimal discriminative hash codes for image retrieval. To solve the problem of reducing information loss during the learning process, we design a novel method via mutual reconstruction between binary hash codes and original features. Thus, a method named Mutual Reconstruction-based Linear Discriminant Hashing (RDAH) is obtained, which further improves the discriminative ability of the learned hash code. We test the performance of RDAH on three image datasets to show the superiority on large-scale image retrieval. © The Institution of engineering & Technology 2023.

Intelligent Internet of Things (IIoT), a network paradigm, is an interconnection of intelligent edge devices, empowered by machine learning models. The recent emergence of large language models (LLMs) opens a new path towards IIoT. Although device models are generally lightweight and suitable for edge devices with limited processing power, their performance is less impressive compared to LLMs running on large servers. Server models offer superior performance with the cost of significant computational resources for model inference. To realize cost-effective IIoT, we introduce a novel collaborative inference framework: the online speculative inference enabled by device collaboration and time divisions. We aim to find the minimum number of servers required for the immediate processing of arrived inference requests. To solve the problem, we propose an evolving directed acyclic graph along with a Proof-of-Deletion mechanism for cost reduction and privacy protection. Based on computer simulations using heterogeneous LLMs, it is found that time-division online speculative inference is a promising approach towards cost-effective IIoT. © 2024 IEEE.

With the rapid proliferation of edge computing-based solutions, many edge computing applications use the cloud for data processing and analysis. However, latency-sensitive applications have low latency requirements and can be very bandwidth hungry, so processing their collected data through cloud servers is not efficient and cost-effective. For example, traffic management and health condition monitoring applications, require real-time data processing at the network edge to respond immediately to unexpected events. These applications are typically executed as workflows with dependent tasks that require careful scheduling to allocate the appropriate resources to the tasks so that the execution is done in a way that satisfies the users' target functions. In this work, we evaluate some traditional scheduling heuristics for the execution of workflow tasks in an edge-computing scenario. Our goal is to compare their performance in terms of execution time and cost and show that these heuristics, previously used in scheduling in the context of cloud environments, can also be used in edge computing scenarios. The results show that the MinMin and PSO scheduling algorithms offer the best results with regard to execution time and cost. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.. All rights reserved.

Molecular subtyping of cancer is recognized as a critical and challenging upstream task for personalized therapy. Existing deep learning methods have achieved significant performance in this domain when abundant data samples are available. However, the acquisition of densely labeled samples for cancer molecular subtypes remains a significant challenge for conventional data-intensive deep learning approaches. In this work, we focus on the few-shot molecular subtype prediction problem in heterogeneous and small cancer datasets, aiming to enhance precise diagnosis and personalized treatment. We first construct a new few-shot dataset for cancer molecular subtype classification and auxiliary cancer classification, named TCGA Few-Shot, from existing publicly available datasets. To effectively leverage the relevant knowledge from both tasks, we introduce a task-specific embedding-based meta-learning framework (TSEML). TSEML leverages the synergistic strengths of a model-agnostic meta-learning (MAML) approach and a prototypical network (ProtoNet) to capture diverse and fine-grained features. Comparative experiments conducted on the TCGA FewShot dataset demonstrate that our TSEML framework achieves superior performance in addressing the problem of few-shot molecular subtype classification. © 2024 IEEE.

In certain emergencies, patients must be continuously monitored and cared for. However, visiting the hospital to do such activities is difficult because of time constraints. To modernize the healthcare sector, the study in question presents an empirical Internet of Things and cloud-based, customizable healthcare monitoring system. Initially, a cloud-based algorithm called particle swarm intelligence (PGI) is used in the proposed healthcare monitoring system to group recorded data, hence increasing the prediction rate. Subsequently, features are selected and extracted, and back propagation neural networks (BPNN) are employed to classify healthcare for humans. In the end, the effectiveness of the suggested system is evaluated using a healthcare dataset and contrasted with current deep learning/machine learning classifiers. The suggested surveillance system performs better than the methods employed in the previous research, according to the findings. © Bharati Vidyapeeth's Institute of computer Applications and Management 2024.

The adoption of automation in software testing presents challenges that can hinder its effectiveness and scalability. This study systematically investigates these challenges using a multi-phase research approach. First, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted to identify 14 Critical Challenges (CCs) in automation adoption. Second, a questionnaire survey of 50 industry experts validated these challenges and examined their interrelationships. Finally, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) a mathematical and statistical approach was employed to analyze correlations and uncover structural dependencies among the challenges. The SEM analysis identified five latent variables: Human Resource Constraints (HRC), Technological & Process Challenges (TPC), Financial & Resource Constraints (FRC), Security & Reliability Issues (SRI), and Future Adaptability & Scalability (FAS) that significantly influence automation adoption. Hypothesis testing revealed that HRC (-0.32), TPC (-0.45), FRC (-0.41), and SRI (-0.38) negatively impact automation success, whereas FAS (+0.51) plays a pivotal role in enabling successful adoption. Model validation through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) confirmed strong construct reliability and fit indices (RMSEA = 0.043, CFI = 0.95, TLI = 0.92, SRMR = 0.037). The study highlights the need for workforce training, standardized automation processes, cost-effective solutions, and security enhancements. By providing an empirically validated framework, this research contributes to both academia and industry, guiding decision-makers in optimizing automation strategies and improving software testing efficiency. © 2013 IEEE.
