As our reliance on such complex cyber-physical systems grows, it becomes paramount to have automated methods for detecting anomalies, preventing attacks, and responding intelligently. {This paper presents a novel deep generative model to meet this need. The proposed model follows a variational autoencoder architecture with a convolutional encoder and decoder to extract features from both spatial and temporal dimensions. Additionally, we incorporate an attention mechanism that directs focus towards specific regions, enhancing the representation of relevant features and improving anomaly detection accuracy. We also employ a dynamic threshold approach leveraging the reconstruction probability and make our source code publicly available to promote reproducibility and facilitate further research. Comprehensive experimental analysis is conducted on data from all six stages of the Secure Water Treatment (SWaT) testbed, and the experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of our approach compared to several state-of-the-art baseline techniques.","PeriodicalId":406179,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Web Information Systems and Technologies","volume":"97 9","pages":"566-577"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141016092","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}

It has become an integral part of people’s lives and like other communication media, SMS texts have been used for propagating spam messages. Despite the fact that a broad range of spam techniques have been proposed to reduce the frequency of such incidents, many difficulties are still present due to text ambiguity; there, the same words can be used in seemingly similar texts which makes it more difficult to identify spam messages. In this paper, we propose an approach for identifying and classifying spam SMS based on the Syntactical features and patterns of the message. The proposed approach consists of four main parts, namely, SMS Pre-processing, Syntactical Features Extraction and Pattern Formulation, Classification and, Risk Analysis. Experimental results show that the proposed approach achieves a good level of accuracy. In addition, to show the effectiveness of handling class imbalance on the classification performance, two additional experiments were conducted using the implementation of the SMOTE algorithm. There, the results depicted that handling class imbalance help in improving identification and classification accuracy. Furthermore, based on the above, a risk model has been proposed that addresses the risk probability and the impact of spam SMS.","PeriodicalId":406179,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Web Information Systems and Technologies","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126633414","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}

For instance, the Quantified Self-movement has recently started spreading to the automotive domain, resulting in the provision of novel digital vehicle services for various stakeholders such as individual drivers and insurance companies. In this direction, a growing number of ICT start-ups from outside Europe have entered the market. Their digital vehicle services are grounded on the availability of vehicle Big Data. Hence, to better understand and capture this ongoing digital transformation, we introduce the Vehicle Data Value Chain (VDVC) as a lightweight model to describe and examine digital vehicle services. Furthermore, we classify current digital vehicle services offered by four start-ups and five car manufacturers by applying the VDVC, thereby identifying commonalities and differences within three crucial steps: data generation, acquisition, and usage. Additionally, we apply the VDVC to describe a digital mobility service provided by a European industry consortium. This exemplary application serves to evaluate the VDVC and show its general applicability in a practical context. We end our paper with a brief conclusion and an outlook on various current activities of standardization organizations, the European Commission and car manufacturers related to the future of vehicle services.","PeriodicalId":406179,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Web Information Systems and Technologies","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124279078","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 gap of such accessibility is being addressed by the Jus Mundi multilingual search-engine for International Law. The data updated on this platform is qualified by skilled lawyers. However, the interconnection of references within such documents, is a key feature for lawyers since, a major part of the legal research is analysing such citations to support their arguments. The process of interconnecting such references can prove to be expensive as well as time-consuming, if completed manually. Hence, the purpose of this research is to automatically extract such legal citations within international law, using Natural Language Processing (NLP), enabling the interconnectivity of documents on Jus Mundi. This study also discusses and addresses research gaps within this subject, especially in the domain specific to International Law. The method followed to achieve the automation is building an adaptable model through Regular-Expression based annotation language named JAPE (Java Annotation Patterns Engine). This set of automatically extracted links are then to be integrated with the search engine, having direct implication in the enablement of smoother navigation, making the law more accessible. This research also contributes to the state of the art bringing closer the eventual use of NLP in applications used to interact with International Law documents.","PeriodicalId":406179,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Web Information Systems and Technologies","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117150649","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}

Recently, the role of social media platforms as earned media has been in focus, but paid advertising still plays a significant role in this respect. This study seeks to deepen the understanding of consumer behavior in this context by addressing consumer attitude towards social media advertising on two levels, i.e., general attitude towards advertising on a social media platform and specific attitude towards an individual advertisement on the social media platform. The study proposes and empirically tests a research model that shows a significant impact of platform enjoyment on general attitude towards advertising as well as brand familiarity as an antecedent of specific attitude towards an advertisement on the platform. Further, a significant impact of both levels of attitude on purchase intention could be shown. The findings stress the importance of a clear conceptualization of consumer attitude on different levels and highlight the relevance of paid advertising in social media.","PeriodicalId":406179,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Web Information Systems and Technologies","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127453893","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}
