Machine Learning in Wireless Sensor Networks: Algorithms, Strategies, and Applications
Wireless sensor networks monitor dynamic environments that change rapidly
over time. This dynamic behavior is either caused by external factors or
initiated by the system designers themselves. To adapt to such conditions,
sensor networks often adopt machine learning techniques to eliminate the need
for unnecessary redesign. Machine learning also inspires many practical
solutions that maximize resource utilization and prolong the lifespan of the
network. In this paper, we present an extensive literature review over the
period 2002-2013 of machine learning methods that were used to address common
issues in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The advantages and disadvantages of
each proposed algorithm are evaluated against the corresponding problem. We
also provide a comparative guide to aid WSN designers in developing suitable
machine learning solutions for their specific application challenges.Comment: Accepted for publication in IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorial
The Challenges in SDN/ML Based Network Security : A Survey
Machine Learning is gaining popularity in the network security domain as many
more network-enabled devices get connected, as malicious activities become
stealthier, and as new technologies like Software Defined Networking (SDN)
emerge. Sitting at the application layer and communicating with the control
layer, machine learning based SDN security models exercise a huge influence on
the routing/switching of the entire SDN. Compromising the models is
consequently a very desirable goal. Previous surveys have been done on either
adversarial machine learning or the general vulnerabilities of SDNs but not
both. Through examination of the latest ML-based SDN security applications and
a good look at ML/SDN specific vulnerabilities accompanied by common attack
methods on ML, this paper serves as a unique survey, making a case for more
secure development processes of ML-based SDN security applications.Comment: 8 pages. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with

Consciosusness in Cognitive Architectures. A Principled Analysis of RCS, Soar and ACT-R
This report analyses the aplicability of the principles of consciousness developed in the ASys project to three of the most relevant cognitive architectures. This is done in relation to their aplicability to build integrated control systems and studying their support for general mechanisms of real-time consciousness.\ud
To analyse these architectures the ASys Framework is employed. This is a conceptual framework based on an extension for cognitive autonomous systems of the General Systems Theory (GST).\ud
A general qualitative evaluation criteria for cognitive architectures is established based upon: a) requirements for a cognitive architecture, b) the theoretical framework based on the GST and c) core design principles for integrated cognitive conscious control systems
