Authors: Horváth László , Kovács Levente
Published: September 2021

Engineering software platform supports engineering activities in continuously widening disciplinary area of complex systems operated industrial and commercial products and other engineering achievements. Engineering activities increasingly include research extending the conventional product lifecycle engineering to the whole innovation cycle. Comprehensive engineering platform comprises wide range of integrated software solutions to manage complex model systems to represent situation controlled autonomous products and offers all software solutions necessary for the integrated innovation and life cycle. By now, engineering platforms are amongst the largest and most complex applications of advanced software. This paper reports recent contributions to concept and methodology of research integration representations for engineering model systems using research capabilities of engineering platform. First, concept on model organized research project (MORP) is introduced. MORP is a new model system based concept of research project which is managed using capabilities of software organized in these platforms. MORP relies on the formerly defined concept of model mediated research (MMR) which is extended to research in situation control of autonomous functions of the represented systems operated engineering achievements recognizing that situation control reorganizes engineering related research to a great extent. Following this, connection of MORP with software which provides situation based control for physical execution in cyber physical system (CPS) is analyzed and discussed. The MMR based MORP is about pilot projecting at the recently established virtual research laboratory (VRL) at the Doctoral School of Applied Informatics and Applied Mathematics (DSAIAM) at the Óbuda University.

Authors: Belguith Syrine , Khalfallh Soulef , Korbaa Ouajdi
Published: September 2021

Vehicle routing problem (VRP) is a hard combinatorial problem. In practice, specificities of concepts (vehicles and networks transportation) related to VRP must be explicitly considered in modeling to obtain accurate cost and feasible solutions. Each of these concepts is represented in literature for a specific purpose. In this study, we present an ontology for modeling VRP as a unified representation based on road and vehicle classification. The approach proposed aims at providing decision-makers in transport companies a consistent understanding of the field based on ontology. Moreover, it aims at generating parameters of classification of VRPs, and at facilitating later on solving these problems, in the academic or industrial context.

Published: September 2021

Revolutionizing operation model of traditional network in programmability, scalability, and orchestration, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has considered as a novel network management approach for a massive network with heterogeneous devices. However, it is also highly susceptible to security attacks like conventional network. Inspired from the success of different machine learning algorithms in other domains, many intrusion detection systems (IDS) are presented to identify attacks aiming to harm the network. In this paper, leveraging the flow-based nature of SDN, we introduce DeepFlowIDS, a deep learning (DL)-based approach for anomaly detection using the flow analysis method in SDN. Furthermore, instead of using a lot of network properties, we only utilize essential characteristics of traffic flows to analyze with deep neural networks in IDS. This is to reduce the computational and time cost of attack traffic detection. Besides, we also study the practical benefits of applying deep transfer learning from computer vision to intrusion detection. This method can inherit the knowledge of an effective DL model from other contexts to resolve another task in cybersecurity. Our DL-based IDSs are built and trained with the NSL-KDD and CICIDS2018 dataset in both fine-tuning and feature extractor strategy of transfer learning. Then, it is integrated with the SDN controller to analyze traffic flows retrieved from OpenFlow statistics to recognize the anomaly action in the network.
AFL: Adaptive Federated Learning Based on Personalized Model and Adaptive Communication
Authors: Wu Xing , Liu Fei Xiang , Zhao Yue , Zhao Ming
Published: September 2021

Federated learning (FL) has given indications of being effective as a architecture for distributed machine learning, which can ensure the data security for each client and train the global deep learning model. Due to the rapid development of this technology, issues remain to be fully explored. Among them, the robustness of the system, privacy protection and communication efficiency are the key factors affecting quality of FL. Here we propose a new FL model based on personalized model and adaptive communication, called Adaptive Federated Learning (AFL). Our model mainly uses two mechanisms: a) Each client trains the personalized local model according to its own local data set; b) Adaptive chain communication mode is adopted in federation aggregation to reduce the time spent in synchronizing training result. A large number of experiments on two public datasets: MNIST and CIFAR10 show that our model is more accurate by over 5% compared with the FedAvg, and is also faster by over 10% compared with Chain-PPFL, which provides a very important significance in theory and practical production.
Analysing the Performance of Stress Detection Models on Consumer-Grade Wearable Devices
Authors: Ninh Van-Tu , Smyth Sinéad , Tran Minh-Triet , Gurrin Cathal
Published: September 2021

Identifying stress level can provide valuable data for mental health analytics as well as labels for annotation systems. Although much research has been conducted into stress detection models using heart rate variability at a higher cost of data collection, there is a lack of research on the potential of using low-resolution Electrodermal Activity (EDA) signals from consumer-grade wearable devices to identify stress patterns. In this paper, we concentrate on performing statistical analyses on the stress detection capability of two popular approaches of training stress detection models with stress-related biometric signals: user-dependent and user-independent models. Our research manages to show that user-dependent models are statistically more accurate for stress detection. In terms of effectiveness assessment, the balanced accuracy (BA) metric is employed to evaluate the capability of distinguishing stress and non-stress conditions of the models trained on either low-resolution or high-resolution Electrodermal Activity (EDA) signals. The results from the experiment show that training the model with (comparatively low-cost) low-resolution EDA signal does not affect the stress detection accuracy of the model significantly compared to using a high-resolution EDA signal. Our research results demonstrate the potential of attaching the user-dependent stress detection model trained on personal low-resolution EDA signal recorded to collect data in daily life to provide users with personal stress level insight and analysis.

Published: September 2021

Efficient knowledge sharing, computation load minimization, and collision-free movement are very important issues in the field of multi-robot automation. Several cloud robot architectures have been investigated to fulfill these requirements. However, the performance of the cloud-robot architectures created to date are suboptimal due to the lack of efficient data management for multi-robotic systems. With this point in mind, this paper proposes an efficient cloud multi-robot framework with cloud database model for mobile robot applications to facilitate multi-robot management, communication, and resource sharing. In this proposed architecture, the cloud framework is comprised with cloud data analysis, cloud database management, and cloud service management. The data analysis serves different data processing and decision-making tasks for generating the next robot action based on robot sensors’ data with the help of a data access components layer. A multistage cloud database model distributes, stores, and accesses different categories of data related to robot sensors and environments. And cloud service facilitates multi-robot management, communication, and resource sharing in the cloud framework. Additionally, as a use case, a cloud-based convolutional neural network (CNN) model is introduced for learning and recognizing robot application data. The obtained results of our tests indicate that the proposed cloud-robot architecture provides efficient computation power, communications, and knowledge sharing for managing multi-mobile robot systems.

Using an Experiential Model in 4-H
Authors: Norman Marilyn M. , Jordan Joy C.
Published: September 2021

4-H Youth Development relies heavily upon the five steps of the experiential learning model to teach life skills. The sequential steps of the model help youth identify what they have learned from a 4-H experience or activity and to apply that learning to other experiences or situations. This model requires that the “teacher/leader” be very clear about the skill or concept targeted and that the experience and the processing questions are designed to support that learner goal. The experiential learning process engages the learners in all phases of the activity, resulting in the ability to generalize this learning to new situations.

Safe Use of Glyphosate-containing Products in Aquatic and Upland Natural Areas
Authors: Langeland Kenneth A.
Published: September 2021

Land and water managers who apply herbicides to control invasive plant species and other nuisance vegetation strive to minimize environmental impacts as a matter of policy and daily operations. It is, therefore, not surprising that concern has been expressed and many questions asked relative to recent publications by Relyea (2005a, 2005b, 2005c), which implicate use of glyphosate-containing herbicides in global decline of amphibians. The purpose of this article is to put these recent publications in perspective relative to aquatic and terrestrial natural area weed management and explain why land managers should continue to use glyphosate-containing products to protect managed habitats from weeds without concern for unreasonable adverse environmental impacts.

Authors: Syukur Arba Abdul
Published: September 2021

Pencurian yang sangat meresahkan masyarakat seringkali terjadi pada suatu ruangan atau lingkungan seperti gedung, kantor, lorong bahkan tempat ibadah juga menjadi sasaran para pencuri. Upaya yang dilakukan DKM (Dewan Kemakmuran Masjid) yaitu memberikan himbauan supaya tetap menjaga barang pentingnya masing-masing.  Masjid seharusnya menjadi tempat yang aman dan nyaman untuk dikunjungi. Oleh karena itu kami memiliki ide yang bertujuan untuk mengantisipasi pencurian di masjid atau tempattempat yang rawan pencurian. Penelitian ini merancangbangun sistem pengenalan wajah sebagai solusi untuk mengurangi tingkat pencurian. Sistem ini dilengkapi dengan perangkat keras Raspberry Pi 3 model B dan webcam A4Tech. Perangkat lunak database yang dapat menyimpan data pengguna. Tujuan penelitian untuk membandingkan 2 metode yang terbaik dalam pengenalan wajah yaitu metode LBPH (Local Binary Pattern Histogram) dan metode Eigenface. Penelitian dilakukan pada siang hari untuk mengambil citra wajah yang berbeda. Penelitian dilakukan dengan 3 kondisi yaitu siang hari luar ruangan, siang hari dalam ruangan dan malam hari dalam ruangan. Parameter yang digunakan untuk melihat hasil dari pengenalan wajah yaitu Akurasi, FAR (False Accept Rate) dan FRR (False Reject Rate). Hasil pengujian 2 metode tersebut yang memiliki tingkat rata-rata Akurasi tertinggi dan tingkat rata-rata FAR dan FRR terendah adalah metode  Eigenface. Kesimpulan dari hasil penelitian yaitu pencahayaan mempengaruhi pengenalan wajah dalam 2 metode tersebut.
