By relying on wireless communication and data collected from diverse sensors, ITS is vulnerable to cybersecurity threats. With the increasing number of attacks on ITS worldwide, detecting and addressing cybersecurity threats has become critically important. This need will only intensify with the impending arrival of autonomous vehicles. One of the primary challenges is identifying critical ITS assets that require protection and understanding the vulnerabilities that cyber attackers can exploit. Additionally, creating a standard profile for ITS is challenging due to the dynamic traffic pattern, which exhibits changes in the movement of vehicles over time. To address these challenges, this paper proposes an information fusion-based cybersecurity threat detection method. Specffically, we employ the Kalman filter for noise reduction, Dempster-Shafer decision theory and Shannon’s entropy for assessing the probabilities of traffic conditions being normal, intruded, and uncertain. We utilised Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) to simulate the Melbourne CBD map and historical traffic data from the Victorian transport authority. Our simulation results reveal that information fusion with three sensor data is more effective in detecting normal traffic conditions. On the other hand, for detecting anomalies, information fusion with two sensor data is more efficient.","PeriodicalId":341115,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE/ACM 23rd International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Internet Computing Workshops (CCGridW)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126062887","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 need for low latency, bandwidth limitations, and privacy concerns associated with video data motivates the use of edge computing for computer vision applications. However, unlike cloud computing with almost unbounded resources, the edge is characterized by compute nodes of limited capacity and power budget. Additionally, fault tolerance is limited due to replication costs at the edge.In this poster, we present our initial work on evaluating the performance of an edge-specific version of Kubernetes on a Raspberry Pi4 cluster for multi-camera computer vision applications. Kubernetes enables automated deployment and management of containerized distributed applications to run at scale across a cluster of compute and storage nodes, while handling node failures. However, existing literature has not characterized the resource consumption and latency impact of Kubernetes for computer vision applications on realistic edge clusters. Our experimental results indicate that while Kubernetes can deliver fault tolerance at the edge, the choices made in the design of containers pods significantly affects the observed tail latency on a low power edge cluster.","PeriodicalId":341115,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE/ACM 23rd International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Internet Computing Workshops (CCGridW)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130591952","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}

Prior research on DNN acceleration has predominantly focused on convolutional neural networks (CNNs), Transformer has recently gained significant popularity due to its outstanding performance in natural language processing, image processing, and other domains. In this context, we have explored the acceleration of Transformer in edge environments. To model Vision Transformer, we have employed the design concept of a multi-branch network and proposed an optimization strategy to accelerate Transformer inference in the edge environment.

Blockchain was initially established for digital crypto currencies with a Proof of Work (PoW) consensus process and the advantage of smart contracts, which enabled distributed trust without the involvement of a third party. Its distributed trust concept paved the way for many other developments, such as the development of new consensus mechanisms such as Proof of Stake (PoS) and Proof of Authority (PoA), which aided in the adoption of Blockchain with low computation machines into sectors such as smart industry and smart transportation.

Leveraging machines to automatically analyze and predict the disease using image data such as chest X-ray images is becoming a challenging task for various contemporary applications. Serverless computing is a cloud computing execution model that provides and manages resources based on the requirements of the users/applications. Besides that, modern data-intensive applications require the power to manage the flow of data between different components in a serverless platform. Motivated by that, in this paper, we develop a new serverless data pipeline framework for predicting disease using chest Xray images. The system utilizes Deep Learning (DL)-based image classification models hosted on Google serverless platform for COVID-19 diagnosis. For disease prediction, we incorporate a transfer learning technique over three popular DL models, namely VGG-16, DenseNet121, and ResNet50. The experimental analysis demonstrates that the proposed serverless data pipeline framework achieves high accuracy, reliability, and speed during COVID-19 disease diagnosis. As per the simulation results, the VGG-16 model outperforms the existing DL models and achieves 97.66% accuracy.","PeriodicalId":341115,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE/ACM 23rd International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Internet Computing Workshops (CCGridW)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133039247","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}

In this paper, we propose a query latency reduction approach that formulates the query execution plan in a network-compute aware manner by considering the resource capacity of fog nodes and current network conditions. We introduce a query task placement algorithm that performs task placement by jointly considering both compute and network resources. The proposed algorithm selects set of nodes for query task placement based on minimum-latency criteria. Moreover, the proposed algorithm mitigates the computational bottleneck by offloading the tasks of computationally overloaded nodes.
