There is a huge demand for securing larger networking environments for providing a safeguard against threats. In order to optimize the feasible detection performance, Collaborative Intrusion Detection Networks (CIDN) approaches have been adopted in practical scenarios, which enables a group of IDS nodes to mutually share and exchange mandatory information with each other, for example, IDS-signatures, attacks alarms. However, CIDN networks are distributed in nature, such networks still face plenty of implementation problems, especially, insider intruder can easily dominate any of security node and leave the entire security system vulnerable. To achieve the trust-based communication between each of IDS node, the recent advancement in blockchain applications is considered as a good fit to create trust-based communication in CIDN networks. This work converges CIDN network and blockchain in SDN context. Firstly, we investigated existing related work and highlighted challenges and research gap towards blockchain in CIDN networks. Secondly, we utilised three collaborated Snort IDS to receive the latest signature update from Ryu and then to securely share such signatures updates to all other Snort nodes within test-bed. Our work is motivated to detect seven types of common attacks with collaborated signature-based IDS, which feasibly processes more packets to achieve satisfactory detection results. Overall the evaluation results show that with the adoption of blockchain protocols, the proposed CIDN network achieves 96% of TP rate detection rate for TCP, UDP and ICMP packets.","PeriodicalId":245523,"journal":{"name":"2019 13th International Conference on Software, Knowledge, Information Management and Applications (SKIMA)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126197602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This problem associates with a lot of constraints, even when having only a single criterion and homogeneous staff skill. This paper introduces three-step scheduling-a generic scheduling procedure for solving the workforce planning problems which incorporates between an optimisation tool, fuzzy inference system and geographic information system technology. The scheduling problem is hierarchically divided into sub-problems and then solved with the proposed scheduling framework. A simulated case study of the electricity meter installation service problems is employed to verify the proposed framework. In this study, we are focusing on the route scheduling which is the first step of the three-step scheduling. The total of travel distance is defined as an objective function. Particular case requirements such as lunch and parking time are also included in the model for optimisation. Our empirical study reveals that the proposed route scheduling is capable of exploring the optimal solutions for the case study with the shortest service path, compared to the original procedure.","PeriodicalId":245523,"journal":{"name":"2019 13th International Conference on Software, Knowledge, Information Management and Applications (SKIMA)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129069042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the resource (such as energy, storage, computational capacity etc.) constrained nodes impose inherent challenges to the design approach. In addition, the communications may take place over multiple mediums based on the type of the communicating nodes and thus the channel conditions have significant impact on the performance as well. Moreover, the link quality may suffer due to relative node movements as a result of posture change. Hence, choosing optimal transmission power that provides a trade-off between reliable data communication and energy draining is another aspect of designing solution. Hence, in this paper a lightweight routing approach is proposed that ensures reliable data delivery to the sink with minimal overhead so that the protocol could be readily implemented in resource constrained networks like WBAN. Transmission power for each data communication is chosen adaptively based on the energy resource and the channel conditions. The protocol has been simulated in Castalia simulator and compared with the state of the art WBAN routing protocol.","PeriodicalId":245523,"journal":{"name":"2019 13th International Conference on Software, Knowledge, Information Management and Applications (SKIMA)","volume":"354 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122800336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although several data sampling methods have been introduced by computational intelligence researchers in the past decades for handling imbalanced data, still learning from imbalanced data is a challenging task and played as a significant focused research interest as well. Traditional machine learning algorithms usually biased to the majority class instances whereas ignored the minority class instances. As a result, ignoring minority class instances may affect the prediction accuracy of classifiers. Generally, under-sampling and over-sampling methods are commonly used in single model classifiers or ensemble learning for dealing with imbalanced data. In this paper, we have introduced an under-sampling method with support vectors for classifying imbalanced data. The proposed approach selects the most informative majority class instances based on the support vectors that help to engender decision boundary. We have tested the performance of the proposed method with single classifiers (C4.5 Decision Tree classifier and naïve Bayes classifier) and ensemble classifiers (Random Forest and AdaBoost) on 13 benchmark imbalanced datasets. It is explicitly shown by the experimental result that the proposed method produces high accuracy when classifying both the minority and majority class instances compared to other existing methods.","PeriodicalId":245523,"journal":{"name":"2019 13th International Conference on Software, Knowledge, Information Management and Applications (SKIMA)","volume":"458 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114016369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The classification of logistics roles (Shipper, Shipping line, Port: Fundamental and Port: Intermodal) presents how the uncertainty currently influences the decisions of each logistics role in strategical, tactical and operational problems. It is found that uncertainty occurred during the logistics operation influencing to all logistics roles and it is transferrable to the adjacent logistics role. The Unitary Traceability Object such as smart container has an opportunity to monitor the logistics operation and extract the behaviour of uncertainty during the operation in the field. This information further supports the planning decisions to respond/treat the uncertainty.","PeriodicalId":245523,"journal":{"name":"2019 13th International Conference on Software, Knowledge, Information Management and Applications (SKIMA)","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132749871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
