    Abstract By the analysis of vulnerabilities of Android native system services, we find that some vulnerabilities are caused by inconsistent data transmission and inconsistent data processing logic between client and server. The existing research cannot find the above two types of vulnerabilities and the test cases of them face the problem of low coverage. In this paper, we propose an extraction method of test cases based on the native system services of the client and design a case construction method that supports multi-parameter mutation based on genetic algorithm and priority strategy. Based on the above method, we implement a detection tool-BArcherFuzzer… More >

    Abstract Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) has proven to be successful in cooperative assignments. MARL is used to investigate how autonomous agents with the same interests can connect and act in one team. MARL cooperation scenarios are explored in recreational cooperative augmented reality environments, as well as real-world scenarios in robotics. In this paper, we explore the realm of MARL and its potential applications in cooperative assignments. Our focus is on developing a multi-agent system that can collaborate to attack or defend against enemies and achieve victory with minimal damage. To accomplish this, we utilize the StarCraft Multi-Agent Challenge (SMAC) environment and… More >

    Abstract Optimizing Flow Path Design (FPD) is a popular research area in transportation system design, but its application to Overhead Transportation Systems (OTSs) has been limited. This study focuses on optimizing a double-spine flow path design for OTSs with 10 stations by minimizing the total travel distance for both loaded and empty flows. We employ transportation methods, specifically the North-West Corner and Stepping-Stone methods, to determine empty vehicle travel flows. Additionally, the Tabu Search (TS) algorithm is applied to branch the 10 stations into two main layout branches. The results obtained from our proposed method demonstrate a reduction in the objective… More >

    A Reference Vector-Assisted Many-Objective Optimization Algorithm with Adaptive Niche Dominance Relation

    Fangzhen Ge1,3, Yating Wu1,*, Debao Chen2,4, Longfeng Shen1,5
    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2024.042841
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Artificial Intelligence Algorithm for Industrial Operation Application)
    Abstract It is still a huge challenge for traditional Pareto-dominated many-objective optimization algorithms to solve many-objective optimization problems because these algorithms hardly maintain the balance between convergence and diversity and can only find a group of solutions focused on a small area on the Pareto front, resulting in poor performance of those algorithms. For this reason, we propose a reference vector-assisted algorithm with an adaptive niche dominance relation, for short MaOEA-AR. The new dominance relation forms a niche based on the angle between candidate solutions. By comparing these solutions, the solution with the best convergence is found to be the non-dominated… More >

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2024.047921
    Abstract In the domain of medical imaging, the accurate detection and classification of brain tumors is very important. This study introduces an advanced method for identifying camouflaged brain tumors within images. Our proposed model consists of three steps: Feature extraction, feature fusion, and then classification. The core of this model revolves around a feature extraction framework that combines color-transformed images with deep learning techniques, using the ResNet50 Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture. So the focus is to extract robust feature from MRI images, particularly emphasizing weighted average features extracted from the first convolutional layer renowned for their discriminative power.

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2024.047080
    Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing rapidly and impacting almost every aspect of our lives, from wearables and healthcare to security, traffic management, and fleet management systems. This has generated massive volumes of data and security, and data privacy risks are increasing with the advancement of technology and network connections. Traditional access control solutions are inadequate for establishing access control in IoT systems to provide data protection owing to their vulnerability to single-point OF failure. Additionally, conventional privacy preservation methods have high latency costs and overhead for resource-constrained devices. Previous machine learning approaches were also unable to detect denial-of-service… More >

    Trading in Fast-Changing Markets with Meta-Reinforcement Learning

    Yutong Tian1, Minghan Gao2, Qiang Gao1,*, Xiao-Hong Peng3
    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2024.042762
    Abstract How to find an effective trading policy is still an open question mainly due to the nonlinear and non-stationary dynamics in a financial market. Deep reinforcement learning, which has recently been used to develop trading strategies by automatically extracting complex features from a large amount of data, is struggling to deal with fast-changing markets due to sample inefficiency. This paper applies the meta-reinforcement learning method to tackle the trading challenges faced by conventional reinforcement learning (RL) approaches in non-stationary markets for the first time. In our work, the history trading data is divided into multiple task data and for each… More >

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2024.043091
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Artificial Intelligence Algorithm for Industrial Operation Application)
    Abstract This study proposed a new real-time manufacturing process monitoring method to monitor and detect process shifts in manufacturing operations. Since real-time production process monitoring is critical in today’s smart manufacturing. The more robust the monitoring model, the more reliable a process is to be under control. In the past, many researchers have developed real-time monitoring methods to detect process shifts early. However, these methods have limitations in detecting process shifts as quickly as possible and handling various data volumes and varieties. In this paper, a robust monitoring model combining Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) and Random Forest (RF) with Real-Time Contrast… More >
