  • A systematic approach to identify problematic situations in the technical customer service

    A project is a single system, an interconnected network of elements: participants, resources, processes, and goals. This relationship is critically important for successful implementation by the technical customer service. Processes that are clearly defined and managed ensure consistency and efficiency. Therefore, project design and management requires a systematic approach that takes into account all relationships and strives to optimize each element to achieve a common goal. A system approach is a method that considers a problem or task in terms of its interrelationships and interactions of all elements of the system. In the context of a technical customer service, this approach can be particularly useful for project management, process optimization, and work efficiency improvement.

  • Methods for IoT protection against zero-day attacks

    Zero-day attacks are one of the most dangerous threats to the security of modern systems, applications and infrastructure because they are unpredictable. Due to the unknown signatures of zero-day attacks, traditional signature-based defences are unable to detect them. Countering such attacks in IoT networks requires both in-depth research and the implementation of practical measures. The present review of state-of-the-art zero-day attack detection research has shown that deep learning approaches are best at detecting zero-day attacks and botnets in IoT networks. These approaches can analyse anomalies in network traffic and identify new threats and zero-day attacks while minimising the number of false positives.

  • Methods for solving the linear cutting problem with minimization of knives' changes

    In this article, an analysis of the main methods for solving the linear cutting problem (LCP) with the criterion of minimizing the number of knife rearrangements is presented. The linear cutting problem in its general form represents an optimization problem that involves placing given types of material (rolls) in such a way as to minimize waste and/or maximize the use of raw materials, taking into account constraints on the number of knives, the width of the master roll, and the required orders. This article discusses a specific case of the problem with an additional condition for minimizing knives' changes and the following approaches for its solution: the exhaustive search method, which ensures finding a global optimal solution but can be extremely inefficient for problems with a large number of orders, as well as random search based on genetic and evolutionary algorithms that model natural selection processes to find good solutions. Pseudocode is provided for various methods of solving the LCP. A comparison is made in terms of algorithmic complexity, controllability of execution time, and accuracy. The random search based on genetic and evolutionary algorithms proved to be more suited for solving the LCP with the minimization of waste and knife rearrangements.

  • Optical damage control of hoisting ropes of metallurgical process equipment

    Steel hoisting ropes play an important role in metallurgical equipment, ensuring reliability and efficiency of lifting operations. One of the key features of their operation is the high level of contamination typical of metallurgical operations. Metallurgical processes are often accompanied by dust, metal chips and other abrasive particles that can significantly degrade ropes, causing wear and corrosion. To maintain the efficient operation of equipment it is necessary to monitor the condition of hoisting ropes in real time, which makes the task of improving automatic systems for monitoring the condition of ropes urgent. The paper reviews the methods of optical control of defects in hoisting steel ropes, the advantages and limitations of different approaches are considered. The aim of the work is to justify the effectiveness of the authors' developed method of analyzing rope defect images using neural networks in relation to the method based on the discrete Fourier transform. It is revealed that one of the most promising in terms of technical and economic efficiency of inspection methods is the application of vision system with image processing based on convolutional neural network technology, which allows to effectively detect defects in complex and changing operating conditions, such as metallurgical and mining production, where the background of the image may be non-uniform, and the distance between the camera and the rope varies.

  • The analysis of criteria for granting a mandate to an information security incident localization

    The number of information security incidents and the amount of damage caused by them are increasing every year. The relevance of information security incident response remains high. The primary response action is an information security incident localization. The purpose of this study is to reduce the time taken to localize detected information security incidents by information security incident response teams. The purpose is achieved by issuing and using a mandate for information security incident localization by orchestration tools and/or artificial intelligence systems in an automated mode. Analysis and synthesis of available publicly materials were applied as research methods. The results of the analysis and evaluation of different criteria applicability for granting a mandate to localize an information security incident in an incident response are presented in the article. A mandate is granted to orchestration tools and/or artificial intelligence systems to perform localization of an information security incident in an automatic mode, i.e., without the involvement of information security incident response team forces. In evaluation the applicability of various criteria for granting a mandate, unlike the known ones, the level of difficulty in determining values for the criteria in question by information security incident response team forces alone was assessed. Criteria and their values are defined, which, unlike the known ones, highlight the area for information security incidents localization in automatic mode.

  • Hybrid optimization methods: adaptive control of the evolutionary process using artificial neural networks

    The relevance of the research is determined by the need to solve complex optimization problems under conditions of high dimensionality, noisy data, and dynamically changing environments. Classical methods, such as genetic algorithms, often encounter the problem of premature convergence and fail to effectively adapt to changes in the problem. Therefore, this article focuses on identifying opportunities to enhance the flexibility and efficiency of evolutionary algorithms through integration with artificial neural networks, which allow for dynamically adjusting search parameters during the evolutionary process. The leading approach to addressing this problem is the development of a hybrid system that combines genetic algorithms with neural networks. This approach enables the neural network to adaptively regulate mutation and crossover probabilities based on the analysis of the current state of the population, preventing premature convergence and accelerating the search for the global extremum. The article presents methods for dynamic adjustment of evolutionary parameters using a neural network approach, reveals the principles of the hybrid system's operation, and provides results from testing on the Rastrigin function. The materials of the article hold practical value for further research in the field of optimization, particularly in solving problems with many local minima, where traditional methods may be ineffective. The application of the proposed hybrid model opens new perspectives for developing adaptive algorithms that can be used in various fields of science and engineering, where high accuracy and robustness to environmental changes are required.

  • Analysis of the influence of data representation accuracy on the quality of wavelet image processing using Winograd method computations

    This paper is devoted to the application of the Winograd method to perform the wavelet transform in the problem of image compression. The application of this method reduces the computational complexity and also increases the speed of computation due to group processing of pixels. In this paper, the minimum number of bits at which high quality of processed images is achieved as a result of performing discrete wavelet transform in fixed-point computation format is determined. The experimental results showed that for processing fragments of 2 and 3 pixels without loss of accuracy using the Winograd method it is enough to use 2 binary decimal places for calculations. To obtain a high-quality image when processing groups of 4 and 5 pixels, it is sufficient to use 4 and 7 binary decimal places, respectively. Development of hardware accelerators of the proposed method of image compression is a promising direction for further research.
