Kalman Filtering, a recursive algorithm widely used for estimating the state of a dynamic system from noisy observations, serves to improve data accuracy by mitigating measurement errors and enhancing signal clarity. Conversely, Synthetic Minority Oversampling Techniques (SMOTE) address the common challenge of class imbalance by generating synthetic examples from the minority class, thereby enriching the training dataset and improving model performance. We delve into the theoretical foundations of both techniques, highlighting their individual contributions to data preprocessing and model training. A comprehensive methodology outlines the integration of Kalman Filtering with various oversampling techniques, elucidating the steps taken to preprocess datasets, implement the algorithms, and train predictive models. Empirical evaluations are conducted on multiple benchmark datasets, assessing the impact of the combined approach on key performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of Internet of Things (IoT) networks, the security of communication protocols is paramount, particularly in the context of DODAG (Destination-Oriented Directed Acyclic Graph) control messages. These messages are crucial for efficient data routing in low-power and lossy networks; however, they are increasingly targeted by flooding attacks that disrupt network performance and reliability. This project proposes the development of a sophisticated anomaly detection framework powered by deep learning techniques to identify and mitigate DODAG control message flooding attacks in real-time. The primary objective of this research is to design a robust deep learning model capable of discerning between normal and anomalous patterns in network traffic associated with DODAG messages. Initially, a comprehensive dataset will be gathered, encompassing both legitimate and malicious traffic scenarios. This dataset will undergo extensive preprocessing to extract relevant features, normalize inputs, and augment the data to enhance model training. The project will explore various deep learning architectures, including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, evaluating their effectiveness in capturing the intricate patterns inherent in IoT communications. Hybrid models will also be considered to leverage the strengths of multiple architectures. Training protocols will incorporate techniques such as dropout, batch normalization, and data augmentation to optimize model performance and generalization. Real-time anomaly detection mechanisms will be developed to trigger alerts upon the identification of unusual patterns, ensuring timely responses to potential threats. To assess the effectiveness of the proposed framework, a set of evaluation metrics-including precision, recall, F1-score, and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves-will be employed. Comparative analyses with traditional anomaly detection methods will be conducted to underscore the advantages of leveraging deep learning approaches. The anticipated outcomes of this project include the creation of an advanced deep learning model that significantly enhances the detection of DODAG control message flooding attacks, contributing to the overall security posture of IoT networks. By facilitating a more resilient infrastructure, this research aims to address pressing security challenges in IoT applications ranging from smart homes to critical industrial systems. Ultimately, the findings will pave the way for future research into federated learning techniques, promoting privacy and security in distributed environments while enhancing the adaptability of anomaly detection systems in the face of evolving threats. Introduction A. Background on IoT Networks 1. Definition and Significance of IoT The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a network of interconnected devices that communicate and exchange data with one another over the internet. These devices can range from everyday household items like smart thermostats and refrigerators to industrial machinery and healthcare devices. The defining characteristic of IoT is its ability to gather and analyze data from its environment, enabling intelligent decision-making and automation. The significance of IoT cannot be overstated. It is transforming various sectors by enhancing efficiency, improving resource management, and providing valuable insights through data analytics. For example, in smart cities, IoT technologies facilitate traffic management, waste management, and energy conservation. In healthcare, remote patient monitoring and telemedicine are made possible through IoT, improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. As more devices connect to the internet, the IoT ecosystem is expected to grow exponentially, with estimates suggesting billions of devices will be operational within the next few years. 2. Common Protocols and Architectures To facilitate communication among IoT devices, various protocols and architectures have been developed. These protocols ensure interoperability and efficient data transmission across different devices and networks. Some of the most commonly used protocols in IoT include: • MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport): A lightweight messaging protocol designed for low-bandwidth, high-latency networks. It operates on a publish-subscribe model, making it ideal for real-time applications. • CoAP (Constrained Application Protocol): A specialized web transfer protocol designed for constrained devices and networks. It allows RESTful interactions and is particularly useful in resource-constrained environments. • HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol): While traditionally used for web applications, HTTP is often employed in IoT applications as well. However, its higher overhead makes it less suitable for constrained devices compared to protocols like MQTT and CoAP. • Zigbee and Z-Wave: These are low-power wireless communication protocols designed for home automation and building control. They enable devices to communicate over short distances with low energy consumption. • LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Network): This is a category of wireless telecommunication networks designed to allow long-range communications at a low bit rate among connected devices. Technologies such as LoRaWAN and Sigfox fall under this category. In terms of architecture, IoT systems can be categorized as centralized, decentralized, or hybrid. Centralized architectures involve a single cloud-based platform that manages all devices, while decentralized architectures distribute control among devices. Hybrid architectures combine elements of both approaches, allowing for flexibility and scalability.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of the Internet of Things (IoT), the need for secure communication protocols is paramount as millions of devices interconnect, sharing critical data. The Destination-Oriented Directed Acyclic Graph (DODAG) protocol is increasingly favored for its efficient routing capabilities in IoT networks; however, it is inherently susceptible to several cyber threats, most notably control message flooding attacks. These attacks can inundate network nodes with excessive control messages, severely impairing network performance, leading to delays, increased latency, and potential data loss. This study presents an innovative framework that integrates blockchain technology into DODAG communications to fortify security and enhance message integrity. By utilizing blockchain's decentralized and immutable characteristics, the proposed solution establishes a robust mechanism for authenticating and validating control messages, ensuring that only legitimate communications are processed and reducing the likelihood of successful flooding attacks. The framework employs smart contracts and consensus algorithms that enable real-time verification of control message authenticity, thereby creating a secure communication channel resistant to manipulation. To assess the effectiveness of this blockchain-enhanced framework, we develop a comprehensive simulation environment that models various flooding attack scenarios alongside normal operating conditions. Performance metrics such as network latency, throughput, and resilience against attacks are meticulously evaluated. Preliminary findings indicate that the integration of blockchain significantly improves both the security posture and operational efficiency of DODAG networks, demonstrating marked reductions in latency and increased resilience to flooding attempts. This research makes a significant contribution to the field of IoT security by showcasing the potential of blockchain technology to address critical vulnerabilities in DODAG communication. By providing a scalable and adaptable security framework, this study not only enhances the reliability of IoT networks but also paves the way for future research into the application of blockchain in securing other routing protocols. Ultimately, our findings emphasize the necessity of adopting advanced technological solutions to create secure and trustworthy IoT environments, fostering confidence in the deployment of smart systems that rely on DODAG for effective communication.\

Imbalanced datasets are a pervasive challenge in machine learning, often leading to biased models that favor the majority class while neglecting minority classes. This study proposes an innovative approach to enhance the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) by integrating Kalman filters, aiming to improve the generation of synthetic samples for minority classes. The proposed method leverages the predictive capabilities of Kalman filters to create more coherent and realistic synthetic instances, thereby addressing some of the limitations associated with traditional oversampling techniques. The research begins with a thorough literature review of existing methods for handling class imbalance, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of conventional techniques such as random oversampling and undersampling. The limitations of SMOTE, particularly its tendency to generate noisy samples and its inability to adapt to varying data distributions, are discussed. By incorporating Kalman filters, the study introduces a dynamic framework that adjusts the synthetic sample generation process based on the underlying data trends and patterns. A series of experiments are conducted on various imbalanced datasets to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed Kalman filter-enhanced SMOTE method. Performance metrics such as precision, recall, and F1 score are utilized to assess improvements compared to baseline methods. The results demonstrate that the integration of Kalman filters significantly enhances the quality of synthetic samples, leading to improved model performance and more balanced class representations. This research not only contributes to the field of data science by providing a novel solution to a critical issue but also offers practical implications for industries where class imbalance is prevalent, such as healthcare and fraud detection. The findings underscore the importance of adaptive sampling techniques in machine learning and pave the way for further exploration of Kalman filters in data augmentation strategies.

. This paper describes Net-dbx, a tool that utilizes Java and other WWW tools for the debugging of MPI programs from anywhere in the Internet. Net-dbx is a source level interactive debugger with the full power of gdb augmented with the debug functionality of LAM-MPI. The main effort was on a low overhead but yet powerful graphical interface that would be supported by low bandwidth connections. The portability of the tool is of great importance as well because it enables us to use it on heterogeneous nodes that participate in an MPI multicomputer. Both needs are satisfied a great deal by the use of Internet Browsing tools and the Java programming language. The user of our system simply points his browser to the URL of the Net-dbx page, logs in to the destination system, and starts debugging by interacting with the tool just like any GUI environment. The user has the ability to dynamically select which MPI-processes to view/debug. A working prototype has already been develo...

This thesis is concerned with different aspects of JAVA CARD application development and use of formal methods in the JAVA CARD world. JAVA CARD is a technology that provides means to program smart (chip) cards with (a subset of) the JAVA language. The use of formal methods in the JAVA CARD context is highly justified due to the criticality of JAVA CARD applications. First of all, JAVA CARD applications are usually security critical (e.g., authentication, electronic cash), second, they are cost critical (i.e. they are distributed in large amounts making updates quite difficult) and finally, they can also be legally critical (e.g., when the digital signature law is considered). Thus the robustness and correctness of JAVA CARD applications should be enforced by the best means possible, i.e. by the use of formal verification techniques. At the same time JAVA CARD seems to be a good target for formal verification—due to the relative simplicity of JAVA CARD applications (as compared to full JAVA), formal verification becomes a feasible and manageable task. In this thesis, we touch upon different

This paper presents preliminary results of two [complimentary] research projects in progress at ITESM: Intelligent Multiagent Systems, and the Virtual University Definition. The implementation of the latter [Espinosa95b] [Espinosa95c] requires the merger of the former, plus an Implementation Technology: Java. A practical, but theoretically sound approach to the implementation of the skill acquisition and learning measurement model described in [Boumedine96a] [Espinosa96a] is thus presented. A multiplatform programming project shows us how multidisciplinary research may allow us to merge [traditionally] incompatible fields of study such as Psychology, Cognition and Artificial Intelligence, by placing Agents within the realm of a Higher Education context, describing the epistemological implications of such an Agent characterization, by identifying particular behavior patterns which may be measured qualitatively and quantitatively, and by making a case study out of a Virtualized Datastractures course.

We present how common JAVACARD security properties can be formalised in Dynamic Logic and verified, mostly automatically, with the KeY system. The properties we consider, are a large subset of prop- erties that are of importance to the smart card industry. We discuss the properties one by one, illustrate them with examples of real-life, in- dustrial size, JAVACARD applications, and show how the properties are verified with the KeY Prover - an interactive theorem prover for JAVA CARD source code based on a version of Dynamic Logic that models the full JAVACARD standard. We report on the experience related to formal verification of JAVACARD programs we gained during the course of this work. Thereafter, we present the current state of the art of formal veri- fication techniques oered by the KeY system and give an assessment of interactive theorem proving as an alternative to static analysis.

In this paper the design and development of a low-cost homecare architecture for remote patient telemetry built upon a Java-based embedded computer is presented. The proposed architecture has been validated by experiencing real-time ECG monitoring by means of desktop PCs equipped with Web browsers, Personal Digital Assistants and WAP-enabled GSM/GPRS mobile phones. The modular approach followed in the development of the home station allows additional medical devices to be easily integrated to fulfil the requirements of heterogeneous homecare scenarios. We expect that the availability of such a low-cost telemedicine device will contribute to further extend healthcare reach to the homecare environment.

It has been assumed that all application agents in a multi-agent system are pre-invoked and remain active regardless of whether they are actually used. This static agent invocation may cause the system overload and a waste of resources, especially in workflow management and on-line shopping systems where tens and even hundreds of application agents might exist. This paper proposes a scheme of dynamic agent invocation that selectively activates only agents that are actually requested and terminates them when they are no longer needed. The agent management system is implemented in Java, and the dynamic agent invocation is accomplished by using the Java Native Interface (JNI) that links two heterogeneous methods. We also constructed a KQML language interface that facilitates the communications between heterogeneous agents. This scheme of dynamic agent management provides efficient resource usage, easy extensibility, and dynamic adaptability to changes in the environment. Keywords: multi-agents, heterogeneous agents, agent invocation, JNI, dynamic agent management 1.
