Establishing an environment that allows for the quantitative evaluation of the ability of autonomous driving systems to respond to real-world adverse conditions is crucial to ensuring their safety and reliability. This study proposes a dynamic scenario-based simulation framework that simulates complex and sequential hazardous scenarios frequently encountered in actual road environments. The proposed scenarios are…

Zero Trust Architecture offers a transformative approach to network security by emphasizing ”never trust, always verify.” IoT devices, while increasingly integral to modern ecosystems, pose unique challenges for identity management and access control due to their constrained processing power, memory, and energy capabilities. In a Zero Trust framework, every IoT device is treated as a…

Private 5G utilization by cable TV is expected to be an alternative to wired services, especially for multi-dwelling units and rural communal TV receiving areas. On the other hand, the 100 MHz of the sub-6 frequency band for private 5G is not sufficient for cable TV services consisting of multi-channel broadcasting and Internet, and some…

Service-oriented architecture has attracted attention in automotive development. The Automotive Open System Architecture (AUTOSAR) specifies Scalable Service-Oriented Middleware over IP (SOME/IP) as a key middleware for service-oriented communication in-vehicles. However, SOME/IP-based networks are vulnerable to server spoofing during the service discovery phase, enabling attackers to cause man-in-the-middle attacks by impersonating legitimate services. This paper proposes…

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have demonstrated remarkable success across a wide range of machine learning tasks. However, determining an effective network architecture, particularly the sizes of the hidden layers, remains a significant challenge and often relies on inefficient trial-and-error experimentation. In this paper, we propose an automated architecture design approach based on structurally adaptive DNNs,…

This study establishes a method for determining whether learners have an understanding of data science. Data science requires knowledge in various fields, which makes many learners give up. To prevent learners from being discouraged, it is necessary to judge the comprehension of the principles in each specified skill. It is important to assess not only…

Neural Networks derives intelligent systems and modern autonomous applications. With the complexity introduced in today’s systems, designing architectures remains open research problem in all fields. Despite many efforts to generalize, the resources required by neural architectures remain challenge. Robots design, Smart cities, IoTs …etc. become the leading industry and driving the fourth industrial revolutions. All…

We address irregular polygon nesting on sheet materials with a lightweight evolutionary framework that operates directly in the layout space. The method formalizes multi-term fitness combining utilization, overlap penalties, spacing regularity, and local alignment, with all components normalized before aggregation. Feasibility is enforced by an AABB– SAT pipeline and validated via analytic ground-truth cases, degenerate…

Achieving targeted reliability for complex products in real-world field environments remains a persistent challenge, even when laboratory validation suggests high performance. A significant reliability gap often emerges during the initial deployment phase, typically within the first one to five years where field failure rates can be up to twice those predicted in controlled settings. Compounding…

The growing integration of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) into healthcare has amplified the need for secure and privacy-preserving artificial intelligence. Federated Learning (FL) has emerged as a pivotal paradigm for decentralized medical data processing; however, it still faces challenges concerning data confidentiality, trust management, and scalability. This review presents an extended theoretical comparison…

Complex networked systems provide a cornucopia of network statistics, many of which relate to the temporal behaviour of subsystems, devices, or even individual protocol layers. Different and flexible visualizations can play a crucial role in discovering and making patterns, relations, and trends tangible. We developed PerfVis, a tool that visualizes timestamp data to aid in…

The rapid proliferation of drones across various industries has introduced significant challenges related to privacy, security, and noise pollution. Current drone detection systems, primarily based on visual and radar technologies, face limitations under certain conditions, highlighting the need for effective acoustic-based detection methods. This paper presents a unique and comprehensive dataset of drone acoustic signatures,…
