A Survey of Using Machine Learning in IoT Security and the Challenges Faced by Researchers
The Internet of Things (IoT) has become more popular in the last 15 years as it has significantly improved and gained control in multiple fields. We are nowadays surrounded by billions of IoT devices that directly integrate with our lives, some of them are at the center of our homes, and others control sensitive data such as military fields, healthcare, and datacenters, among others. This popularity makes factories and companies compete to produce and develop many types of those devices without caring about how secure they are. On the other hand, IoT is considered a good insecure environment for cyber thefts. Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) also gained more importance in the last 15 years; they achieved success in the networking security field too. IoT has some similar security requirements such as traditional networks, but with some differences according to its characteristics, some specific security features, and environmental limitations, some differences are made such as low energy resources, limited computational capability, and small memory. These limitations inspire some researchers to search for the perfect and lightweight security ways which strike a balance between performance and security. This survey provides a comprehensive discussion about using machine learning and deep learning in IoT devices within the last five years. It also lists the challenges faced by each model and algorithm. In addition, this survey shows some of the current solutions and other future directions and suggestions. It also focuses on the research that took the IoT environment limitations into consideration
Artificial Intelligence based Anomaly Detection of Energy Consumption in Buildings: A Review, Current Trends and New Perspectives
Enormous amounts of data are being produced everyday by sub-meters and smart
sensors installed in residential buildings. If leveraged properly, that data
could assist end-users, energy producers and utility companies in detecting
anomalous power consumption and understanding the causes of each anomaly.
Therefore, anomaly detection could stop a minor problem becoming overwhelming.
Moreover, it will aid in better decision-making to reduce wasted energy and
promote sustainable and energy efficient behavior. In this regard, this paper
is an in-depth review of existing anomaly detection frameworks for building
energy consumption based on artificial intelligence. Specifically, an extensive
survey is presented, in which a comprehensive taxonomy is introduced to
classify existing algorithms based on different modules and parameters adopted,
such as machine learning algorithms, feature extraction approaches, anomaly
detection levels, computing platforms and application scenarios. To the best of
the authors' knowledge, this is the first review article that discusses anomaly
detection in building energy consumption. Moving forward, important findings
along with domain-specific problems, difficulties and challenges that remain
unresolved are thoroughly discussed, including the absence of: (i) precise
definitions of anomalous power consumption, (ii) annotated datasets, (iii)
unified metrics to assess the performance of existing solutions, (iv) platforms
for reproducibility and (v) privacy-preservation. Following, insights about
current research trends are discussed to widen the applications and
effectiveness of the anomaly detection technology before deriving future
directions attracting significant attention. This article serves as a
comprehensive reference to understand the current technological progress in
anomaly detection of energy consumption based on artificial intelligence.Comment: 11 Figures, 3 Table
Big data analytics for large-scale wireless networks: Challenges and opportunities
© 2019 Association for Computing Machinery. The wide proliferation of various wireless communication systems and wireless devices has led to the arrival of big data era in large-scale wireless networks. Big data of large-scale wireless networks has the key features of wide variety, high volume, real-time velocity, and huge value leading to the unique research challenges that are different from existing computing systems. In this article, we present a survey of the state-of-art big data analytics (BDA) approaches for large-scale wireless networks. In particular, we categorize the life cycle of BDA into four consecutive stages: Data Acquisition, Data Preprocessing, Data Storage, and Data Analytics. We then present a detailed survey of the technical solutions to the challenges in BDA for large-scale wireless networks according to each stage in the life cycle of BDA. Moreover, we discuss the open research issues and outline the future directions in this promising area
