文摘Existing feature selection methods for intrusion detection systems in the Industrial Internet of Things often suffer from local optimality and high computational complexity.These challenges hinder traditional IDS from effectively extracting features while maintaining detection accuracy.This paper proposes an industrial Internet ofThings intrusion detection feature selection algorithm based on an improved whale optimization algorithm(GSLDWOA).The aim is to address the problems that feature selection algorithms under high-dimensional data are prone to,such as local optimality,long detection time,and reduced accuracy.First,the initial population’s diversity is increased using the Gaussian Mutation mechanism.Then,Non-linear Shrinking Factor balances global exploration and local development,avoiding premature convergence.Lastly,Variable-step Levy Flight operator and Dynamic Differential Evolution strategy are introduced to improve the algorithm’s search efficiency and convergence accuracy in highdimensional feature space.Experiments on the NSL-KDD and WUSTL-IIoT-2021 datasets demonstrate that the feature subset selected by GSLDWOA significantly improves detection performance.Compared to the traditional WOA algorithm,the detection rate and F1-score increased by 3.68%and 4.12%.On the WUSTL-IIoT-2021 dataset,accuracy,recall,and F1-score all exceed 99.9%.

文摘Recently,Internet ofThings(IoT)has been increasingly integrated into the automotive sector,enabling the development of diverse applications such as the Internet of Vehicles(IoV)and intelligent connected vehicles.Leveraging IoVtechnologies,operational data fromcore vehicle components can be collected and analyzed to construct fault diagnosis models,thereby enhancing vehicle safety.However,automakers often struggle to acquire sufficient fault data to support effective model training.To address this challenge,a robust and efficient federated learning method(REFL)is constructed for machinery fault diagnosis in collaborative IoV,which can organize multiple companies to collaboratively develop a comprehensive fault diagnosis model while keeping their data locally.In the REFL,the gradient-based adversary algorithm is first introduced to the fault diagnosis field to enhance the deep learning model robustness.Moreover,the adaptive gradient processing process is designed to improve the model training speed and ensure the model accuracy under unbalance data scenarios.The proposed REFL is evaluated on non-independent and identically distributed(non-IID)real-world machinery fault dataset.Experiment results demonstrate that the REFL can achieve better performance than traditional learning methods and are promising for real industrial fault diagnosis.

文摘Vehicle Edge Computing(VEC)and Cloud Computing(CC)significantly enhance the processing efficiency of delay-sensitive and computation-intensive applications by offloading compute-intensive tasks from resource-constrained onboard devices to nearby Roadside Unit(RSU),thereby achieving lower delay and energy consumption.However,due to the limited storage capacity and energy budget of RSUs,it is challenging to meet the demands of the highly dynamic Internet of Vehicles(IoV)environment.Therefore,determining reasonable service caching and computation offloading strategies is crucial.To address this,this paper proposes a joint service caching scheme for cloud-edge collaborative IoV computation offloading.By modeling the dynamic optimization problem using Markov Decision Processes(MDP),the scheme jointly optimizes task delay,energy consumption,load balancing,and privacy entropy to achieve better quality of service.Additionally,a dynamic adaptive multi-objective deep reinforcement learning algorithm is proposed.Each Double Deep Q-Network(DDQN)agent obtains rewards for different objectives based on distinct reward functions and dynamically updates the objective weights by learning the value changes between objectives using Radial Basis Function Networks(RBFN),thereby efficiently approximating the Pareto-optimal decisions for multiple objectives.Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can better coordinate the three-tier computing resources of cloud,edge,and vehicles.Compared to existing algorithms,the proposed method reduces task delay and energy consumption by 10.64%and 5.1%,respectively.

文摘With more and more IoT terminals being deployed in various power grid business scenarios,terminal reliability has become a practical challenge that threatens the current security protection architecture.Most IoT terminals have security risks and vulnerabilities,and limited resources make it impossible to deploy costly security protection methods on the terminal.In order to cope with these problems,this paper proposes a lightweight trust evaluation model TCL,which combines three network models,TCN,CNN,and LSTM,with stronger feature extraction capability and can score the reliability of the device by periodically analyzing the traffic behavior and activity logs generated by the terminal device,and the trust evaluation of the terminal’s continuous behavior can be achieved by combining the scores of different periods.After experiments,it is proved that TCL can effectively use the traffic behaviors and activity logs of terminal devices for trust evaluation and achieves F1-score of 95.763,94.456,99.923,and 99.195 on HDFS,BGL,N-BaIoT,and KDD99 datasets,respectively,and the size of TCL is only 91KB,which can achieve similar or better performance than CNN-LSTM,RobustLog and other methods with less computational resources and storage space.

文摘In recent years,fog computing has become an important environment for dealing with the Internet of Things.Fog computing was developed to handle large-scale big data by scheduling tasks via cloud computing.Task scheduling is crucial for efficiently handling IoT user requests,thereby improving system performance,cost,and energy consumption across nodes in cloud computing.With the large amount of data and user requests,achieving the optimal solution to the task scheduling problem is challenging,particularly in terms of cost and energy efficiency.In this paper,we develop novel strategies to save energy consumption across nodes in fog computing when users execute tasks through the least-cost paths.Task scheduling is developed using modified artificial ecosystem optimization(AEO),combined with negative swarm operators,Salp Swarm Algorithm(SSA),in order to competitively optimize their capabilities during the exploitation phase of the optimal search process.In addition,the proposed strategy,Enhancement Artificial Ecosystem Optimization Salp Swarm Algorithm(EAEOSSA),attempts to find the most suitable solution.The optimization that combines cost and energy for multi-objective task scheduling optimization problems.The backpack problem is also added to improve both cost and energy in the iFogSim implementation as well.A comparison was made between the proposed strategy and other strategies in terms of time,cost,energy,and productivity.Experimental results showed that the proposed strategy improved energy consumption,cost,and time over other algorithms.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm increases the average cost,average energy consumption,and mean service time in most scenarios,with average reductions of up to 21.15%in cost and 25.8%in energy consumption.

文摘The rapid expansion of the Internet of Things(IoT)and Edge Artificial Intelligence(AI)has redefined automation and connectivity acrossmodern networks.However,the heterogeneity and limited resources of IoT devices expose them to increasingly sophisticated and persistentmalware attacks.These adaptive and stealthy threats can evade conventional detection,establish remote control,propagate across devices,exfiltrate sensitive data,and compromise network integrity.This study presents a Software-Defined Internet of Things(SD-IoT)control-plane-based,AI-driven framework that integrates Gated Recurrent Units(GRU)and Long Short-TermMemory(LSTM)networks for efficient detection of evolving multi-vector,malware-driven botnet attacks.The proposed CUDA-enabled hybrid deep learning(DL)framework performs centralized real-time detection without adding computational overhead to IoT nodes.A feature selection strategy combining variable clustering,attribute evaluation,one-R attribute evaluation,correlation analysis,and principal component analysis(PCA)enhances detection accuracy and reduces complexity.The framework is rigorously evaluated using the N_BaIoT dataset under k-fold cross-validation.Experimental results achieve 99.96%detection accuracy,a false positive rate(FPR)of 0.0035%,and a detection latency of 0.18 ms,confirming its high efficiency and scalability.The findings demonstrate the framework’s potential as a robust and intelligent security solution for next-generation IoT ecosystems.
文摘Modern industrial environments require uninterrupted machinery operation to maintain productivity standards while ensuring safety and minimizing costs.Conventional maintenance methods,such as reactive maintenance(i.e.,run to failure)or time-based preventive maintenance(i.e.,scheduled servicing),prove ineffective for complex systems with many Internet of Things(IoT)devices and sensors because they fall short in detecting faults at early stages when it is most crucial.This paper presents a predictive maintenance framework based on a hybrid deep learning model that integrates the capabilities of Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)Networks and Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs).The framework integrates spatial feature extraction and temporal sequence modeling to accurately classify the health state of industrial equipment into three categories,including Normal,Require Maintenance,and Failed.The framework uses a modular pipeline that includes IoT-enabled data collection along with secure transmission methods to manage cloud storage and provide real-time fault classification.The FD004 subset of the NASA C-MAPSS dataset,containing multivariate sensor readings from aircraft engines,serves as the training and evaluation data for the model.Experimental results show that the LSTM-CNN model outperforms baseline models such as LSTM-SVM and LSTM-RNN,achieving an overall average accuracy of 86.66%,precision of 86.00%,recall of 86.33%,and F1-score of 86.33%.Contrary to the previous LSTM-CNN-based predictive maintenance models that either provide a binary classification or rely on synthetically balanced data,our paper provides a three-class maintenance state(i.e.,Normal,Require Maintenance,and Failed)along with threshold-based labeling that retains the true nature of the degradation.In addition,our work also provides an IoT-to-cloud-based modular architecture for deployment.It offers Computerized Maintenance Management System(CMMS)integration,making our proposed solution not only technically sound but also practical and innovative.The solution achieves real-world industrial deployment readiness through its reliable performance alongside its scalable system design.
