Industrial sectors are constantly under pressure to produce higher-quality goods while maximizing yield. Machine maintenance is a critical component of manufacturing, accounting for a significant portion of total production costs. Corrective, preventive, and conditional maintenance strategies only make a negligible contribution to cost and downtime reduction. With the fifth industrial revolution, industrialists can now use sensors and cyber-physical systems to perform predictive maintenance on ...
Impact of portable executable header features on malware detection accuracy
Published in: Computers, Materials & Continua
Sep 22, 2022
One aspect of cybersecurity incorporates the study of Portable Executable (PE) file maleficence. Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be employed in such studies, since AI has the ability to discriminate benign from malicious files. In this study, an exclusive set of 29 features was collected from trusted implementations; this set was used as a baseline to analyze the presented work in this research. A Decision Tree (DT) and Neural Network Multi-Layer Perceptron (NN-MLPC) algorithms were utilized d...
Multiple Object Tracking in Robotic Applications: Trends and Challenges
Published in: Applied Sciences Journal
Sep 20, 2022
The recent advancement in autonomous robotics is directed toward designing a reliable system that can detect and track multiple objects in the surrounding environment for navigation and guidance purposes. This paper aims to survey the recent development in this area and present the latest trends that tackle the challenges of multiple object tracking, such as heavy occlusion, dynamic background, and illumination changes. Our research includes Multiple Object Tracking (MOT) methods incorpora...
Test case prioritization for model transformations
Published in: Journal of King Saud University - Computer and Information Sciences
Sep 01, 2022
The application of model transformations is a critical component in Model-Driven Engineering (MDE). To ensure the correctness of the generated models, these model transformations need to be extensively tested. However, during the regression testing of these model transformations, it becomes too costly to frequently run a large number of test cases. Test case prioritization techniques are needed to rank the test cases and help the tester during the regression testing to be more efficient. The ob...

Internet of Things (IoT) has come a long way since its inception. However, the standardization process in IoT systems for a secure IoT solution is still in its early days. Numerous quality review articles have been contributed by researchers on existing frameworks, architectures, as well as the threats to IoT on different layers. However, most of the existing work neglects the security aspects of firmware in the IoT ecosystem. As such, there is a lack of comprehensive survey on IoT firmware sec...
