A Dependable Hybrid Machine Learning Model for Network Intrusion Detection
Network intrusion detection systems (NIDSs) play an important role in
computer network security. There are several detection mechanisms where
anomaly-based automated detection outperforms others significantly. Amid the
sophistication and growing number of attacks, dealing with large amounts of
data is a recognized issue in the development of anomaly-based NIDS. However,
do current models meet the needs of today's networks in terms of required
accuracy and dependability? In this research, we propose a new hybrid model
that combines machine learning and deep learning to increase detection rates
while securing dependability. Our proposed method ensures efficient
pre-processing by combining SMOTE for data balancing and XGBoost for feature
selection. We compared our developed method to various machine learning and
deep learning algorithms to find a more efficient algorithm to implement in the
pipeline. Furthermore, we chose the most effective model for network intrusion
based on a set of benchmarked performance analysis criteria. Our method
produces excellent results when tested on two datasets, KDDCUP'99 and
CIC-MalMem-2022, with an accuracy of 99.99% and 100% for KDDCUP'99 and
CIC-MalMem-2022, respectively, and no overfitting or Type-1 and Type-2 issues.Comment: Accepted in the Journal of Information Security and Applications

ICS Materials. Towards a re-Interpretation of material qualities through interactive, connected, and smart materials.
The domain of materials for design is changing under the influence of an increased technological
advancement, miniaturization and democratization. Materials are becoming connected,
augmented, computational, interactive, active, responsive, and dynamic. These are ICS
Materials, an acronym that stands for Interactive, Connected and Smart. While labs around the
world are experimenting with these new materials, there is the need to reflect on their
potentials and impact on design. This paper is a first step in this direction: to interpret and
describe the qualities of ICS materials, considering their experiential pattern, their expressive sensorial dimension, and their aesthetic of interaction. Through case studies, we analyse and classify these emerging ICS Materials and identified common characteristics, and challenges, e.g. the ability to change over time or their programmability by the designers and users. On that basis, we argue there is the need to reframe and redesign existing models to describe ICS materials, making their qualities emerge
Design revolutions: IASDR 2019 Conference Proceedings. Volume 3: People
In September 2019 Manchester School of Art at Manchester Metropolitan University was honoured to host the bi-annual conference of the International Association of Societies of Design Research (IASDR) under the unifying theme of DESIGN REVOLUTIONS. This was the first time the conference had been held in the UK. Through key research themes across nine conference tracks – Change, Learning, Living, Making, People, Technology, Thinking, Value and Voices – the conference opened up compelling, meaningful and radical dialogue of the role of design in addressing societal and organisational challenges. This Volume 3 includes papers from People track of the conference
CT Scanning
Since its introduction in 1972, X-ray computed tomography (CT) has evolved into an essential diagnostic imaging tool for a continually increasing variety of clinical applications. The goal of this book was not simply to summarize currently available CT imaging techniques but also to provide clinical perspectives, advances in hybrid technologies, new applications other than medicine and an outlook on future developments. Major experts in this growing field contributed to this book, which is geared to radiologists, orthopedic surgeons, engineers, and clinical and basic researchers. We believe that CT scanning is an effective and essential tools in treatment planning, basic understanding of physiology, and and tackling the ever-increasing challenge of diagnosis in our society
Interoperability-based optimisation of architectural design
As a major contributor to the planetary greenhouse effect, construction industry needs to adopt
sustainability at the core of its activities - to reverse or slow down the impacts of climate change.
Increased collaboration among stakeholders along with analysis/performance based decision making
is the way forward for enhanced sustainability. Emphasis is placed on the process of shared creation
through multi-disciplinary collaboration, enabled by the implementation of IT (Information
Technology) that acts as a platform to augment our ability to communicate. Developments in the
Construction IT have been product oriented and aimed at solving particular domain problems
usually with a narrow focus - further reducing the accessibility and interoperability of information
over the lifecycle stages. Advances in the semantics based interoperable data standards, such as IFC
(Industry Foundation Classes) offer significant advantage in removing such barriers to successful
vertical and horizontal integration of software tools and process. The use of building simulation in
architectural design requires specialist knowledge and a rich set of information about the proposed
building which are not available to the design team at early stages. Standards based mapping of
information for input processing of the simulation engines can act as an alternative to simplified
tools supporting the exploratory nature of design. Detailed based input processing also restricts the
use of simulation to occasional validation of solutions - even during detailed design stages. For a
directed exploration of the solution space, numerical optimisation methods can be applied to
enhance simulation assisted design. Successful application of optimisation methods pivots on the
ability of the analysis and decision making components of the software to communicate with each
other without the loss of data semantics. To realise this potential, a process-oriented integrated framework based on the interoperability of
information and software tools have been developed and implemented in this thesis. For horizontal
integration of domain specific tools through intra-software messaging, ardML - an XML (eXtensible
Markup Language) based schema has been developed which attempts to connect non-interoperable
software tools. Multi-disciplinary environmental design of buildings has been chosen as the domain
of discourse. The framework currently employs industry standard zonal building simulation as an
analysis tool and gradient-based mathematical optimisation methods for informed decision making.
Interoperability among tools, processes and information has been achieved through the
implementation of IFC based data model. The modular nature of the object-oriented framework
allows incorporation of existing and future tools. The applicability of the framework has been
investigated in the early stages of architectural design, in particular the selection of form and
orientation - considering the environmental aspects. The implementation of the framework at an
ambiguous and exploratory stage of design reinforces its applicability in a wider industry context
