  • A traffic classification model for detecting robotic activity

    This article examines the growing threat of web scraping (parsing) as a form of automated cyberattack, particularly aimed. Although scraping publicly available data is often legal, its misuse can lead to serious consequences, including server overload, data breaches and intellectual property infringement. Recent court cases against OpenAI and ChatGPT highlight the legal uncertainty associated with unauthorized data collection. The study presents a dual approach to combat malicious scraping. Traffic Classification Model - a machine learning based solution using Random Forest algorithms results in performance that achieves 89% accuracy in distinguishing between legitimate and malicious bot traffic, enabling early detection of scraping attempts. Data Deception Technique - the countermeasure dynamically modifies HTML content to convey false information to scrapers while maintaining the original look of the page. This technique prevents data collection without affecting the user experience. Performance results include real-time traffic monitoring, dynamic page obfuscation, and automatic response systems. The proposed system demonstrates effectiveness in mitigating the risks associated with scraping and emphasizes the need for adaptive cybersecurity measures in evolving digital technologies.

  • A Two-Stage Architecture for Estimating Scene Structure Parameters from Graph Cuts

    In this paper, methods for estimating one's own position from a video image are considered. A robust two-stage algorithm for reconstructing the scene structure from its observed video images is proposed. In the proposed algorithm, at the feature extraction and matching stage, a random sample based on the neighborhood graph cuts is used to select the most probable matching feature pairs. At the nonlinear optimization stage, an improved optimization algorithm with an adaptive attenuation coefficient and dynamic adjustment of the trust region is used. Compared with the classical Levenberg-Marquard (LM) algorithm, global and local convergence can be better balanced. To simplify the system's decisions, the Schur complement method is used at the group tuning stage, which allows for a significant reduction in the amount of computation. The experiments confirmed the operability and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

  • Mathematical modeling and external load-balancing methods in server clusters

    This paper presents the design and experimental validation of an external load-balancing mechanism for server clusters that support a distributed educational network. A hybrid strategy is proposed that merges classical policies (Round Robin, Least Connections) with an evolutionary search based on a genetic algorithm. At the modeling level the user-session assignment problem is formulated as a minimization of the maximum node load under latency constraints. The solution is implemented entirely on a domestic technology stack— “1C:Enterprise” server clusters, Docker containers, and the “1C:Bus” integration middleware. Experimental results show that the new scheduling logic improves system resilience under traffic fluctuations, lowers user response times, and utilizes spare resources more efficiently, while imposing no substantial overhead on the control nodes. The study confirms the practical viability of evolutionary approaches for real-time load balancing.

  • About accuracy of polynomial models of submersible electric motors as a part of ACS

    The characteristics of a submersible induction motor are described with sufficient reliability for practice by the theory of multi-motor electric drive. In this case, the classical circuit of a submersible induction motor is a coupled system of several equivalent-T circuits. In turn, this significantly increases its computational complexity and reduces the speed of ACS. It is proposed to construct a mathematical model of the submersible electric motor in the form of polynomials with significantly higher speed using the methods of experiment planning. In the area of applicability, the differences in the estimation of energy performance do not exceed 1.1%, between the proposed models and classical equivalent-T circuits.

  • Justification of the grid step of the electronic map when determining whether a point has entered the control area

    The problem of substantiating the grid step of an electronic map used to establish the fact that a vehicle, whose coordinates are read from an on-board GPS sensor, enters the control area is considered. The proposed decision support system determines the maximum allowable step for marking a geographical area for subsequent information processing, in which the amount of resulting data is close to the minimum, taking into account the preservation of processing time and acceptable the level of error of the data for analytics. To solve the problem, it is proposed to use the regression analysis apparatus to determine the dependence of the expected verdict error on the grid step of the electronic map. The analysis of residual variances was used to prove the applicability of the proposed device. The Laplace formula was used to estimate the confidence interval of erroneous verdicts.

  • Analysis of the stress-strain state of the variants of modeling the reinforced concrete frame schemes and their comparison with the test results

    The article is devoted to the study of the influence of the choice of the calculation scheme on the accuracy of the engineering assessment of the behavior of monolithic reinforced concrete frame structures. Various types of models are considered: rod, plate and volumetric, taking into account both linear and physical nonlinearity. It is emphasized that the adequacy of accounting for the spatial interaction of elements, the reliability of the assessment of forces and stresses, as well as the possibility of optimizing design solutions, especially under seismic and wind loads, depend on the correctness of the adopted calculation scheme. As part of the study, a single-span reinforced concrete frame was modeled, the load on which varied from 5 to 55 kN. A comparison of the calculated results with experimental data was carried out. It is shown that models that take into account physical nonlinearity and use more detailed modeling (for example, volumetric finite elements) provide the greatest accuracy in predicting deflections and stresses in the structure. The obtained results confirm the necessity of a careful approach to the choice of the calculation scheme in design, especially in the design of high-rise buildings and structures in seismically dangerous areas. Recommendations are made on the rational use of models of different levels of detail in engineering practice.
