Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) has emerged as the widely adopted application layer protocol for IoT environments because of its lightweight header, minimal power, and bandwidth requirements. Despite its popularity, the earlier version of the protocol, MQTT v3.1.1, encounters performance issues in large-scale implementations and required an update to handle the growing requirements of modern IoT applications. In response to these concerns, MQTT v5.0 was released with several significant features designed to enhance the reliability, user experience, and performance of IoT systems. While the MQTT protocol features were intended to facilitate robust and efficient communications, adversaries could exploit these features to mount various types of attacks in IoT deployments. More specifically, the Denial of Service (DoS) attacks towards the MQTT protocol have recently gained a lot of attention from the research community. However, the existing works primarily focus only on exploring the possibilities of misusing the MQTT v3.1.1 protocol features to generate DoS attacks in IoT realms. In this work, we attempt to extensively investigate the advanced protocol features of MQTT v5.0 that can be exploited to launch DDoS attacks impacting the IoT paradigm. We present the first critical evaluation of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks on the MQTT v5.0 protocol by analyzing three significant features: CONNECT Properties, User Properties, and Flow Control. Moreover, we systematically propose attack scenarios based on the adversary's capabilities, thus illustrating the practicality of proposed attacks in real-world scenarios. Furthermore, we built a real-world testbed for IoT healthcare application to evaluate the severity of the identified attacks. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of these attacks in impacting the availability of guaranteed IoT services to legitimate users, even in times of need. Additionally, we disclose the insightful fi

Load forecasting plays a crucial role in mitigating risks for utilities by predicting future usage of commodity markets transmission or supplied by the utility. To achieve this, various techniques such as price elastic demand, climate and consumer response, load analysis, and sustainable energy generation predictive modelling are used. As both supply and demand fluctuate, and weather and power prices can rise significantly during peak periods, accurate load forecasting becomes critical for utilities. By providing brief demand forecasts, load forecasting can assist in estimating load flows and making decisions that prevent overloading. Therefore, load forecasting is crucial in helping electric utilities make informed decisions related to power, load switching, voltage regulation, switching, and infrastructure development. Forecasting is a methodology used by electricity companies to forecast the amount of electricity or power production needed to maintain constant supply as well as load demand balance. It is required for the electrical industry to function properly. The smart grid is a new system that enables electricity providers and customers to communicate in real-time. The precise energy consumption sequence of the consumers is required to enhance the demand schedule. This is where predicting the future comes into play. Forecasting future power system load (electricity consumption) is a critical task in providing intelligence to the power grid. Accurate forecasting allows utility companies to allocate resources and assume system control in order to balance the same demand and availability for electricity. In this article, a study on load forecasting algorithms based on deep learning, machine learning, hybrid methods, bio-inspired techniques, and other techniques is carried out. Many other algorithms based on load forecasting are discussed in this study. Different methods of load forecasting were compared using three performance indices: RMSE (Root Mean Square Err

The nonlinear filtering problem has enduringly been an active research topic in both academia and industry due to its ever-growing theoretical importance and practical *** main objective of nonlinear filtering is to infer the states of a nonlinear dynamical system of interest based on the available noisy measurements. In recent years, the advance of network communication technology has not only popularized the networked systems with apparent advantages in terms of installation,cost and maintenance, but also brought about a series of challenges to the design of nonlinear filtering algorithms, among which the communication constraint has been recognized as a dominating concern. In this context, a great number of investigations have been launched towards the networked nonlinear filtering problem with communication constraints, and many samplebased nonlinear filters have been developed to deal with the highly nonlinear and/or non-Gaussian scenarios. The aim of this paper is to provide a timely survey about the recent advances on the sample-based networked nonlinear filtering problem from the perspective of communication constraints. More specifically, we first review three important families of sample-based filtering methods known as the unscented Kalman filter, particle filter,and maximum correntropy filter. Then, the latest developments are surveyed with stress on the topics regarding incomplete/imperfect information, limited resources and cyber ***, several challenges and open problems are highlighted to shed some lights on the possible trends of future research in this realm.

Omnidirectional images provide an immersive viewing experience in a Virtual Reality (VR) environment, surpassing the limitations of traditional 2D media beyond the conventional screen. This VR technology allows users to interact with visual information in an exciting and engaging manner. However, the storage and transmission requirements for 360-degree panoramic images are substantial, leading to the establishment of compression frameworks. Unfortunately, these frameworks introduce projection distortion and compression artifacts. With the rapid growth of VR applications, it becomes crucial to investigate the quality of the perceptible omnidirectional experience and evaluate the extent of visual degradation caused by compression. In this regard, viewport plays a significant role in omnidirectional image quality assessment (OIQA), as it directly affects the user’s perceived quality and overall viewing experience. Extracting viewports compatible with users viewing behavior plays a crucial role in OIQA. Different users may focus on different regions, and the model’s performance may be sensitive to the chosen viewport extraction strategy. Improper selection of viewports could lead to biased quality predictions. Instead of assessing the entire image, attention can be directed to areas that are more importance to the overall quality. Feature extraction is vital in OIQA as it plays a significant role in representing image content that aligns with human perception. Taking this into consideration, the proposed ATtention enabled VIewport Selection (ATVIS-OIQA) employs attention based view port selection with Vision Transformers(ViT) for feature extraction. Furthermore, the spatial relationship between the viewports is established using graph convolution, enabling intuitive prediction of the objective visual quality of omnidirectional images. The effectiveness of the proposed model is demonstrated by achieving state-of-the-art results on publicly available benchmark datasets, n
