The article introduces an innovative framework called Kororā, which aims to enhance the security and integrity of live virtual machine migration in a public cloud computing environment. The framework incorporates a trusted platform module to ensure the integrity of the migration process. It offers a new approach for virtual machine migration and has been specifically designed and implemented on a public infrastructure-as-a-service cloud platform.

The primary research problem identified is the vulnerability of virtual machine instances to attacks during the live migration procedure. The evaluation used involves running the framework simultaneously on the same hardware components (such as I/O, CPU, and memory) and utilizing the same hypervisor's platform (Xen's open-source hypervisor). In addition, the security aspect of live migration is a crucial consideration due to the possibility of security threats across different area: data plane, control plane, and migration plane. Potential attackers may employ both passive and active attack techniques, putting the live migration at risk and resulting in a decline in performance. This poses a significant and alarming risk to the overall platform.

To address the research gap, the Kororā framework emerged as a successful approach for achieving control-flow integrity by incorporating the Clark-Wilson security model proved effective in bridging the research gaps while maintaining system integrity. The primary achievement of this research is the introduction of the Kororā framework, which consists of seven agents operating within the Xen-privileged dom0 and establishing communication with the hypervisor. Overall, the finding indicate that the suggested framework offers an effective defence mechanism for moving a virtual machine from one host to another host with minimal disruption to normal operation with enhanced integrity.

Entrepreneurship education has become essential in recent years. This education system may not be unconnected with the global agitation for value creation, employability skills and job creation. Engaging in entrepreneurial training provides students with the skills needed to enhance their ability to create marketable and profitable solutions to emerging problems. To do this, many emerging entrepreneurs rely on technology to engage in entrepreneurship education. This study presents a machine learning technique to predict the adaptability level of students in online entrepreneurship education. The suitability of different algorithms like Random Forest, C5.0, CART and Artificial Neural Network was examined using the Kaggle Educational dataset. The algorithms recorded a high accuracy rate and affirmed machine learning techniques' ability to forecast students' adaptation to online entrepreneurship training. The findings of this research contribute to the field of online entrepreneurship education by providing a reliable and efficient approach for predicting students' adaptability. The proposed modified ensemble machine learning model can assist educators and administrators in identifying students who may require additional support, tailoring instructional strategies, and designing targeted interventions to enhance their adaptability and overall learning experience in online entrepreneurship education.

This paper presents a novel methodology that utilizes gesture recognition data, which are collected with a Leap Motion Controller (LMC), in tandem with the Spotted Hyena-based Chimp Optimization Algorithm (SSC) for feature selection and training of deep neural networks (DNNs). An expansive tabular database was created using the LMC for eight distinct gestures and the SSC algorithm was used for discerning and selecting salient features. This refined feature subset is then utilized in the subsequent training of a DNN model. A comprehensive comparative analysis is conducted to evaluate the performance of the SSC algorithm in comparison with established optimization techniques, such as Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO), Grey Wolf Optimizer(GWO), and Sine Cosine Algorithm(SCA), specifically in the context of feature selection. The empirical findings decisively establish the efficacy of the SSC algorithm, consistently achieving a high accuracy rate of 98% in the domain of gesture recognition tasks. The feature selection approach proposed emphasizes its intrinsic capacity to enhance not only the accuracy of gesture recognition systems and its wider suitability across diverse domains that require sophisticated feature extraction techniques.

Object detection is a crucial branch of computer vision that aims to locate and classify objects in images. Using deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) as the primary framework for object detection can efficiently extract features, which is closer to real-time performance than the traditional model that extracts features manually. In recent years, the rise of Transformer with powerful self-attention mechanisms has further enhanced performance to a new level. However, when it comes to specific vision tasks in the real world, it is necessary to obtain 3D information about the spatial coordinates, orientation, and velocity of objects, which makes research on object detection in 3D scenes more active. Although LiDAR-based 3D object detection algorithms have excellent performance, they are difficult to popularize in practical applications due to their high price. Hence, we summarize the development process, different frameworks, contributions, advantages, disadvantages, and development trends of image-based 2D and 3D object detection algorithms in recent years to help more researchers better understand this field. Besides, representative datasets，evaluation metrics，related techniques and applications are introduced, and some valuable research directions are discussed.

An affective state of a learner in E-learning has gained enormous interest. The prediction of the emotional state of a learner can enhance the outcome of learning by including designated mediation. Many techniques are developed for anticipating emotional states using video, audio, and bio-sensors. Still, examining video, and audio will not confirm secretiveness and is exposed to security issues. Here the creator devises a fusion technique, to be specific Squirrel Search and Rider optimization-grounded Deep LSTM for affect prediction.

The Deep LSTM is trained to exercise the new fusion SS-ROA. Then, the SS-ROA-grounded Deep LSTM classifies the states like frustration, confusion, engagement, wrathfulness, and so on. It is based on the interaction log data of the E-learner. In conclusion, the course and student ID, predicted state, test marks, and course completion status are taken as result information to find out the correlations. The new algorithm gives the best performance in comparison to other present methods with the highest prediction accurateness of 0.962 and the most noteworthy connection of 0.379 respectively. After discovering affective states, students may get the advantage of getting real comments from a teacher for improving one's performance during learning. However, such systems should also give feedback about the learner's affective state or passion because it greatly affects the student's encouragement toward better learning.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been infecting the entire world over the past years. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, people have acclimatised to the new normal, which includes working from home, communicating online, and maintaining personal cleanliness. There are numerous tools required to prepare to compact transmissions in the future. One of these elements for protecting individuals from fatal virus transmission is the mask. Studies have indicated that wearing a mask may help to reduce the risk of viral transmission of all kinds. It causes many public places to take efforts to ensure that its guests wear adequate face masks and keep a safe distance from one another. Screening systems need to be installed at the doors of businesses, schools, government buildings, private offices, and/or other important areas. A variety of face detection models have been designed using various algorithms and techniques. Most of the articles in the previously published research have not worked on dimensionality reduction in conjunction with depth-wise separable neural networks. The necessity of determining the identities of people who do not cover their faces when they are in public is the driving factor for the development of this methodology. This research work proposes a deep learning technique to determine if a person is wearing mask or not and identifies whether it is properly worn or not. Stacked Auto Encoder (SAE) technique is implemented by stacking the following components: Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Depth-wise Separable Convolutional Neural Network (DWSC-NN). PCA is used to reduce the irrelevant features in the images and resulted high true positive rate in the detection of mask. We achieved an accuracy score of 94.16% and an F1 score of 96.009% by the application of the method described in this research.

The MQTT (Message Queue Telemetry Transport) protocol has recently been standardized to provide a lightweight open messaging service over low-bandwidth and resource-constrained communication environments. Hence, it is the primary messaging protocol used by Internet of Things (IoT) devices to disseminate telemetry data in a machine-to-machine approach. Despite its advantages in providing reliable, scalable, and timely delivery, the MQTT protocol is widely vulnerable to flooding and denial of service attacks, specifically, the low-rate distributed denial of services (LR-DDoS). Unlike conventional DDoS, the LR-DDoS attack tends to appear as normal traffic at a very slow rate, which makes it difficult to differentiate from legitimate packets, allowing the packets to move undetected by traditional detection policies. This paper presents an intelligent lightweight detection scheme that can capture LR-DDoS attacks based on MQTT protocol in a software-defined IoT environment. The proposed scheme examines the performance of four machine learning models on a modern dataset (LRDDoS-MQTT-2022) with a minimum feature set (i.e., two features only) and a balanced dataset, namely: decision tree classifier (DTC), multilayer perceptron (MLP), artificial neural networks (ANN), and naïve Bayes classifier (NBC). Our exploratory assessment demonstrates the arrogance of the DTC detection scheme achieving an accuracy of 99.5% with peak detection speed. Eventually, our best outcomes outdo existing models with higher prediction rates.

In the commercial and industrial sectors, automatic robotic control mechanisms, which include robots, end effectors, and anchors containing components, are often utilized to enhance service quality. Robotic systems must be installed in manufacturing lines for a variety of industrial purposes, which also increases the risk of a robot, end controller, and/or device malfunction. According to its automated regulation, this may hurt people and other items in the workplace in addition to resulting in a reduction in quality operation. With today's advanced systems and technology, security and stability are crucial. Hence, the system is equipped with fault management abilities for the identification of developing defects and assessment of their influence on the system's activity in the upcoming utilizing fault diagnostic methodologies. To provide adaptive control, fault detection, and state estimation for robotic automated systems intended to function dependably in complicated contexts, efficient techniques are described in this study. This paper proposed a fault detection and state estimation using Accelerated Gradient Descent based support vector machine (AGDSVM) and gaussian filter (GF) in automatic control systems. The Proposed system is called (AGDSVM + GF). The proposed system is evaluated with the following metrics accuracy, fault detection rate, state estimation rate, computation time, error rate, and energy consumption. The result shows that the proposed system is effective in fault detection and state estimation and provides intelligent control automatic control.

Semi-supervised clustering is a machine learning technique that was introduced to boost clustering performance when labeled data is available. Indeed, some labeled data are usually available in real use cases, and can be used to initialize the clustering process to guide it and to make it more efficient. Fuzzy ART is a clustering technique that is proved to be efficient in several real cases, but as an unsupervised algorithm, it cannot use available labeled data. This paper introduces a semi-supervised variant of the FuzzyART clustering algorithm (SSFuzzyART). The proposed solution uses the available labeled data to initialize clusters centers. In another hand, to deeply evaluate the characteristics of the proposed algorithm, a clustered binary data generation algorithm with controlled partitioning is also introduced in this paper. Indeed, the controlled generated clusters allows studying the characteristics of the proposed SSFuzzyART. Furthermore, a set of experiments is carried out on some available benchmarks. SSFuzzyART demonstrated better clustering prediction results than its classic counterpart.

In some sensitive domains where data imperfections are present, standard classification techniques reach their limits. To avoid misclassifications that have serious consequences, recent works propose cautious classification algorithms to handle this problem. Despite of the presence of uncertainty and/or imprecision, a point prediction classifier is forced to bet on a single class. While a cautious classifier proposes the appropriate subset of candidate classes that can be assigned to the sample in the presence of imperfect information. On the other hand, cautiousness should not be at the expense of precision and a trade-off has to be made between these two criteria. Among the existing cautious classifiers, two classifiers propose to manage this trade-off in the decision step by the mean of a parametrized objective function. The first one is the non-deterministic classifier (ndc) proposed within the framework of probability theory and the second one is “evidential classifier based on imprecise relabelling” (eclair) proposed within the framework of belief functions. The theoretical aim of the mentioned hyper-parameters is to control the size of predictions for both classifiers. This paper proposes to study this hyper-parameter in order to select the “best” value in a classification task. First the utility for each candidate subset is studied related to the values of the hyper-parameter and some thresholds are proposed to control the size of the predictions. Then two illustrations are proposed where a method to choose this hyper-parameters based on the calibration data is proposed. The first illustration concerns randomly generated data and the second one concerns the images data of fashion mnist. These illustrations show how to control the size of the predictions and give a comparison between the performances of the two classifiers for a tuning based on our proposition and the one based on grid search method.
