Volume 10, Issue 6
This issue brings together eight studies that address growing challenges in security, efficiency, learning, reliability and system insight across modern digital systems. The papers emphasize practical solutions grounded in solid methods, covering topics such as Zero Trust security for IoT, private 5G broadcasting, adaptive neural network design and data-driven learning assessment. They also explore improved reliability prediction, privacy-preserving healthcare AI, advanced network visualization, and acoustic drone detection. Across these diverse areas, the contributions share a focus on real-world feasibility, lightweight design and informed decision-making. Collectively, they reflect a clear move toward adaptive, data-aware and user-centered systems that better meet technical constraints while responding to evolving societal and industrial needs.

TIMeFoRCE: An Identity and Access Management Framework for IoT Devices in A Zero Trust Architecture
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…
Read More Private 5G MIMO for Cable TV IP Broadcasting
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…
Read More StradNet: Automated Structural Adaptation for Efficient Deep Neural Network Design
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,…
Read More Identifying Comprehension Faults Through Word Embedding and Multimodal Analysis
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…
Read More System-Level Test Case Design for Field Reliability Alignment in Complex Products
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…
Read More Federated Learning with Differential Privacy and Blockchain for Security and Privacy in IoMT A Theoretical Comparison and Review
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…
Read More PerfVis+: From Timestamps to Insight through Integration of Visual and Statistical Analysis
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…
Read More A Multi-class Acoustic Dataset and Interactive Tool for Analyzing Drone Signatures in Real-World Environments
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,…
