Second Derivative General Linear Methods for Transient Analysis: A Robust Approach to Damped RLC Circuits Across Damping Conditions

Noor AbdulHassan, Ali Kadhim

Pages: 88-93

PDF Full Text
Abstract

Transient analysis of an electrical circuit is an important study in determining how electric circuits respond dynamically due to sudden changes, such as switching operations. The parallel RLC circuit has become crucial, both in academics and engineering fields, pertaining to designing various engineering devices: oscillators, filters, and dissipating energy that might be harmful to people or electronics. This paper examines the application of Second Derivative General Linear Methods (SGLMs) for solving the governing second-order ordinary differential equation of a damped parallel RLC circuit. SGLMs with second derivative have given with superior stability and accuracy for non-stiff and stiff systems. This study compared the given methods with other traditional methods under the conditions: as overdamped, critically damped, and underdamped. Results will find wide implications in design and optimization studies of electrical systems by providing a robust framework for accurate, efficient transient analysis. The results show that SGLMs achieved significantly lower absolute errors compared to classical methods. Specifically, the maximum error across all simulations was over 10 times smaller than that of RK4 (Runge-Kutta 4), and the Euler method exhibited even greater deviations. SGLMs remained stable even at larger step sizes (up to h=0.1)where the other methods either became unstable or lost accuracy.

Abstract

The integration of Deep Learning (DL) techniques with the Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a transformative paradigm in the advancement of smart healthcare systems. Numerous recent studies have investigated the convergence of these technologies, demonstrating their potential in improving healthcare delivery, patient monitoring, and clinical decision-making. The ongoing evolution of Industry 5.0 in parallel with the deployment of 5G communication networks has further facilitated the development of intelligent, cost-effective, and highly responsive sensors. These innovations enable continuous and real-time monitoring of patients’ health conditions, a capability that was not feasible within the constraints of traditional healthcare models. Smart health monitoring systems have thus introduced significant improvements in terms of speed, affordability, reliability, and accessibility of medical services, particularly in remote or underserved regions. Moreover, the application of Deep Learning and Machine Learning algorithms in health data analysis has played a pivotal role in achieving preventive healthcare, reducing mortality risks, and enabling personalized treatment strategies. Such methods have also enhanced the early detection of chronic diseases, which previously posed considerable diagnostic challenges. To further optimize scalability and cost-efficiency, cloud computing and distributed storage solutions have been incorporated, ensuring secure and real-time data availability. This review therefore provides a comprehensive perspective on smart healthcare innovations, emphasizing the role of intelligent systems, recent advancements, and persisting challenges in the domain of digital health monitoring.

Abstract

The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) has opened new frontiers in artificial intelligence applications across multiple domains, including cybersecurity. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the role of LLMs in enhancing cyber defense mechanisms, with a particular focus on their effectiveness in identifying, mitigating, and responding to Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) and other sophisticated cyber-attacks. We explore the integration of LLMs in threat intelligence, anomaly detection, automated incident response, and adversarial behavior analysis. By examining recent advancements, case studies, and state-of-the-art implementations, we highlight the strengths and limitations of current LLM-based approaches. Furthermore, we assess the challenges related to scalability, adversarial robustness, and ethical considerations inherent in deploying LLMs within cybersecurity infrastructures. The review concludes with future research directions, emphasizing the need for hybrid AI systems that combine LLMs with traditional rule-based and statistical methods to provide resilient and adaptive cybersecurity solutions in the face of evolving digital threats.

PDF Full Text
Abstract

The rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) has drawn significant attention from both industry and academia, driven by the integration of cloud computing, big data analytics, machine learning, and cyber-physical systems in manufacturing. Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), long central to industrial control systems, have evolved from basic feedback control devices to advanced components capable of networking and data exchange through IoT technologies. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) refers to intelligent automation systems that continuously monitor critical parameters and respond to changes in real time. The integration of IoT with PLCs is transforming industrial automation by enabling remote real-time monitoring, data-driven decision-making, and predictive maintenance through advanced analytics. IIoT technologies enhance manufacturing performance and offer strategic value across sectors. Understanding their impact involves examining current research, including technology assessments and application-based case studies. This study provides an overview of PLC systems evolving into IIoT frameworks, with a focus on implementing proportional-integral (PI) control using the Siemens S7-300. Designed for precise and consistent temperature regulation, this approach enhances process efficiency and product quality, making it highly suitable for industrial and manufacturing environments.

Collaborative Lightweight Deep Learning Optimization for Intrusion Detection in SDN-IoT Networks

Ali H. Hamad, Mustafa Saleh

Pages: 94 -106

PDF Full Text
Abstract

The combination of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has quickly revolutionized the world of industry, and also brought with it some severe security risks. Despite its recent success, Deep learning (DL) can be a powerful method for Network Intrusion Detection systems (NIDS), but often the computational and memory requirements are too high for edge devices. In this paper, a collaborative optimization framework with lightweight deep-learning IDS models suitable for SDN-IoT environments is proposed. We formalize and test three collaborative compression schemes based on combining pruning, clustering, and quantization, yet maintaining the structural advantages of each stage: Sparsity-Preserving Quantization-Aware Training (PQAT), Cluster-Preserving Quantization-Aware Training (CQAT), and Sparsity-and-Cluster-Preserving Quantization-Aware Training (PCQAT). The three schemes are evaluated on four canonical architectures (LSTM, RNN, DNN and CNN) on the proposed SICA dataset with respect to DDoS, Probe and Brute-Force (BFA).The results show that aggressive single-stage compression such as clustering can shrink model size by up to 94%, but at the cost of predictive confidence; PCQAT, by contrast, acts as a stabilizer that recovers this lost confidence. In particular, CNN-PCQAT and DNN-PCQAT deliver the most favorable trade-off, sustaining high detection accuracy on all three attack classes with inference latency below 0.01 ms. The framework therefore offers a practical, deployment-oriented guideline for implementing real-time IDS on resource-constrained SDN-IoT edge devices.

AI-Driven Threat Intelligence for IoT Networks: Leveraging Machine Learning for Enhanced Intrusion Detection

Mustafa Aljumaily , Hyder Abed, Salam Alyassri

Pages: 25-34

PDF Full Text
Abstract

As Internet of Things (IoT) devices continue to spread, they also create many new entry points for cyberattacks. Traditional security methods struggle to keep up, which makes smarter and more adaptive defenses necessary. This paper introduces an Artificial Intelligence (AI)–driven threat intelligence framework designed to improve intrusion detection in diverse IoT networks. The framework combines Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) models to detect malicious activity more accurately across different types of network traffic. To evaluate the approach, three widely used benchmark datasets—UNSW-NB15, CIC-IDS2017, and IoT-Botnet—were used. Experimental results show that the proposed hybrid Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model performs very well. It achieved 97% accuracy, a 0.95 F1-score, and a 0.98 Receiver Operating Characteristic – Area Under the Curve (ROC-AUC) on the UNSW-NB15 dataset, outperforming traditional ML models such as Random Forest, which reached 94% accuracy. While DL models provided better detection performance and stronger generalization, ML models proved to be much faster, with nearly three times lower inference latency—about 3 milliseconds per network flow. This makes them more suitable for real-time deployment at the IoT edge, where computing resources are limited. Overall, the proposed hybrid approach strikes a practical balance between detection accuracy and processing speed, offering a scalable and robust foundation for AI-based IoT threat intelligence in real-world environments.
