The quantity of network attacks and the harm from them is constantly increasing, so the detection of these attacks is an urgent task in the information security field. In this paper, we investigate an approach to building intrusion detection systems using a classifier based on fuzzy rules. The process of creating a fuzzy classifier based on a given set of input and output data can be presented as a solution to the problems of clustering, informative features selection, and the parameters of the rule antecedents optimization. To solve these problems, the whale optimization algorithm is used. The performance of algorithms for constructing a fuzzy classifier based on this metaheuristic is estimated using the KDD Cup 1999 intrusion detection dataset. On average, the resulting classifiers have a type I error of 0.92% and a type II error of 1.07%. The obtained results are also compared with the results of other classifiers. The comparison shows the competitiveness of the proposed method.

With the frequent occurrence of network security events, the intrusion detection system will generate alarm and log records when monitoring the network environment in which a large number of log and alarm records are redundant, which brings great burden to the server storage and security personnel. How to reduce the redundant alarm records in network intrusion detection has always been the focus of researchers. In this paper, we propose a method using the whale optimization algorithm to deal with massive redundant alarms. Based on the alarm hierarchical clustering, we integrate the whale optimization algorithm into the process of generating alarm hierarchical clustering and optimizing the cluster center and put forward two versions of local hierarchical clustering and global hierarchical clustering, respectively. To verify the feasibility of the algorithm, we conducted experiments on the UNSW-NB15 data set; compared with the previous alarm clustering algorithms, the alarm clustering algorithm based on the whale optimization algorithm can generate higher quality clustering in a shorter time. The results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce redundant alarms and reduce the load of IDS and staff.

: Fiber Wireless Access Network is the blend of passive optical network and wireless access network. This network provides higher capacity, better flexibility, more stability and improved reliability to the users at lower cost. Network component (such as Optical Network Unit (ONU)) placement is one of the major research issues which affects the network design, performance and cost. Considering all these concerns, we implement customized Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) for ONU placement. Initially whale optimization algorithm is applied to get optimized position of ONUs, which is followed by reduction of number of ONUs in the network. Reduction of ONUs is done such that with fewer number of ONUs all routers present in the network can communicate. In order to ensure the performance of the network we compute the network parameters such as Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), Total Time for Delivering the Packets in the Network (TTDPN) and percentage reduction in power consumption for the proposed algorithm. The performance of the proposed work is compared with existing algorithms (deterministic and centrally placed ONUs with predefined hops) and has been analyzed through extensive simulation. The result shows that the proposed algorithm is superior to the other algorithms in terms of minimum required ONUs and reduced power consumption in the network with almost same packet delivery ratio and total time for delivering the packets in the network. Therefore, present work is suitable for developing cost-effective FiWi network with maintained network performance.

Computation offloading is one of the most important problems in edge computing. Devices can transmit computation tasks to servers to be executed through computation offloading. However, not all the computation tasks can be offloaded to servers with the limitation of network conditions. Therefore, it is very important to decide quickly how many tasks should be executed on servers and how many should be executed locally. Only computation tasks that are properly offloaded can improve the Quality of Service (QoS). Some existing methods only focus on a single objection, and of the others some have high computational complexity. There still have no method that could balance the targets and complexity for universal application. In this study, a Multi-Objective Whale Optimization Algorithm (MOWOA) based on time and energy consumption is proposed to solve the optimal offloading mechanism of computation offloading in mobile edge computing. It is the first time that MOWOA has been applied in this area. For improving the quality of the solution set, crowding degrees are introduced and all solutions are sorted by crowding degrees. Additionally, an improved MOWOA (MOWOA2) by using the gravity reference point method is proposed to obtain better diversity of the solution set. Compared with some typical approaches, such as the Grid-Based Evolutionary Algorithm (GrEA), Cluster-Gradient-based Artificial Immune System Algorithm (CGbAIS), Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm III (NSGA-III), etc., the MOWOA2 performs better in terms of the quality of the final solutions.

AbstractAs an important part of smart city construction, traffic image denoising has been studied widely. Image denoising technique can enhance the performance of segmentation and recognition model and improve the accuracy of segmentation and recognition results. However, due to the different types of noise and the degree of noise pollution, the traditional image denoising methods generally have some problems, such as blurred edges and details, loss of image information. This paper presents an image denoising method based on BP neural network optimized by improved whale optimization algorithm. Firstly, the nonlinear convergence factor and adaptive weight coefficient are introduced into the algorithm to improve the optimization ability and convergence characteristics of the standard whale optimization algorithm. Then, the improved whale optimization algorithm is used to optimize the initial weight and threshold value of BP neural network to overcome the dependence in the construction process, and shorten the training time of the neural network. Finally, the optimized BP neural network is applied to benchmark image denoising and traffic image denoising. The experimental results show that compared with the traditional denoising methods such as Median filtering, Neighborhood average filtering and Wiener filtering, the proposed method has better performance in peak signal-to-noise ratio.
