Social engineering attacks are increasing over the years along with the growth in Internet users. Our study aims to find ways to improve users’ protection against these attacks. Finding a suitable way to enhance users’ detection will have the impact of reducing the number of victims. Our study uses quantitative methods including experiment (role play) and a questionnaire to collect data. The findings suggest that raising users’ intention to validate the authenticity of received messages will increase their ability to make a robust decision about deceptive messages. The detection rate significantly increased when users have been alerted about social engineering attacks.

The paper presents an approach to a design of formal and informal education services for the system architecture developed within the European Union Erasmus+ eMediator project. An ‘Education as a services’ approach requires a specific design of elements that rely on four components: organization, competence, pedagogy, and technology. Artificial intelligence will serve as a tool that enables performance of all functions from each component. This study concentrates on a specific design of educational services that would correspond to the four components. It relies on use case method that allows for identification, clarification, and organization of elements crucial for the system requirements. In the future, the designs of educational services can be used in other systems that are developed for educational purposes.

The article extends the authors' previous research to the case of discrete response functions. A process consisting of sequential operations is considered. For each operation, you can determine the currently available probability of its error-free (high-quality) execution. By the qualitative performance of the operation, we will understand the achievement of a given level of quality in quantitative proportion to the overall level. The purpose of the article is to build a quality management strategy in which a set of probabilities of quality levels not less than a certain threshold value is achieved, with minimal costs for carrying out appropriate measures. The corresponding optimization problem is presented and a heuristic multistep algorithm for its solution is given.

Nowadays smart Internet of Things (IoT) devices are used briskly, and these devices communicate with each other via wireless medium. However, this increase in IoT devices has resulted in a rise of security issues associated with the IoT system. Therefore, an intrusion detection and prevention system (IDPS) is used to locate and report any malicious activity. The IDPS's feature selection (FS) task is necessary to improve the data quality and decrease the data used for classifying intrusive traffic. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel FS method that hybridizes improved salp swarm algorithm and harris hawk optimization algorithm. The XGBoost classifier is used for classifying reduced network traffic. Proposed system demonstrates high accuracy and low computation time, surpassing other related approaches used for the IDPS feature selection task.

Efficient energy management is greatly facilitated by accurately predicting energy consumption in a smart home, benefiting both consumers and utilities alike. The conventional forecasting techniques rely on pre-trained statistical models built upon extensive historical data, which may experience performance degradation due to the dynamic nature of power load demands. To address this limitation, this study proposes a novel approach employing Window-based Support Vector Regression (WSVR) to accurately estimate energy requirements from a smart grid within a smart home. The dataset utilized for this research is sourced from Pecan Street in Texas, USA. To assess the efficacy of the proposed model, it is compared to several other time series data prediction models, including ARIMA, Holt Winter's, Linear Regression, Support Vector Machine, and Support Vector Regression. The performance of each model is evaluated, and the results are thoroughly examined and discussed.

Modernization and liberalization of power system in North Macedonia offers an opportunity to supervise and regulate the power consumption and power grid. This paper proposes models for short-term load forecasting using artificial neural network in order to balance the demand and load requirements and to determine electricity price. Neural network approach has the advantage of learning directly from the historical data. This method uses multiple data points. Results from the research show that the quality of the short-term prediction depends on the size of the data set and the data transformation.

The Software Defined Network (SDN) is an emerging concept in network engineering that entails the decoupling of the control plane and data plane. The data plane is executed on discrete nodes, while a centralised control plane is accountable for overseeing network-wide functionalities. In conventional networks, the integrated planes are incorporated into the network suite, and the transmission is determined by the route. In this work, the traditional way of routing using a communication plane is compared with routing using an SDN controller. The present study employs the NS2 simulator to evaluate the quality of service performance under high background traffic conditions. In the event of network congestion, it is imperative to utilize the available bandwidth to its fullest extent in order to increase the rate of bit transmission per second. The results of the traditional network and SDN network based on various parameters like Ambiguous collision, Delay, Jitter, Availability and Latency are compared in this paper. The results show that the SDN network's performance is better with concerning time.
