Optimizing network bandwidth slicing identification: NADAM-enhanced CNN and VAE data preprocessing for enhanced interpretability
Communication networks of the future will rely heavily on network slicing (NS), a technology that enables the creation of distinct virtual networks within a shared physical infrastructure. This capability is critical for meeting the diverse quality of service (QoS) requirements of various applications, from ultra-reliable low-latency communications to massive IoT deployments. To achieve efficient network slicing, intelligent algorithms are essential for optimizing network resources and ensuring QoS. Artificial Intelligence (AI) models, particularly deep learning techniques, have emerged as powerful tools for automating and enhancing network slicing processes. These models are increasingly applied in next-generation mobile and wireless networks, including 5G, IoT infrastructure, and software-defined networking (SDN), to allocate resources and manage network slices dynamically. In this paper, we propose an Interpretable Network Bandwidth Slicing Identification (INBSI) system that leverages a modified Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture with Nesterov-accelerated Adaptive Moment Estimation (NADAM) optimization. Additionally, we use a Variational Autoencoder (VAE) for preprocessing initial data, along with reconstructed data for data validity assessment. The model we propose outperforms other alternatives and reaches an accuracy peak of (84%) in the system environment. A range of accuracy was achieved by (k-nearest neighbors algorithm) KNN (76%), Random Forest (69%), BaggingClassifier (70%), and Gaussian Naive Bayes (GaussianNB) (55%). The accuracy of additional methods varies, including Decision Trees, AdaBoost, Deep Neural Forest (DNF), and Multilayer Perceptrons (MLPs). We utilize two eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) approaches, Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) and Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations (LIME), to provide insight into the impact of certain input characteristics on the network slicing process. Our work highlights the potential of AI-driven solutions in network slicing, offering insights for operators to optimize resource allocation and enhance future network management.

Time series-based workload prediction using the statistical hybrid model for the cloud environment
Resource management is addressed using infrastructure as a service. On demand, the resource management module effectively manages available resources. Resource management in cloud resource provisioning is aided by the prediction of central processing unit (CPU) and memory utilization. Using a hybrid ARIMA–ANN model, this study forecasts future CPU and memory utilization. The range of values discovered is utilized to make predictions, which is useful for resource management. In the cloud traces, the ARIMA model detects linear components in the CPU and memory utilization patterns. For recognizing and magnifying nonlinear components in the traces, the artificial neural network (ANN) leverages the residuals derived from the ARIMA model. The resource utilization patterns are predicted using a combination of linear and nonlinear components. From the predicted and previous history values, the Savitzky–Golay filter finds a range of forecast values. Point value forecasting may not be the best method for predicting multi-step resource utilization in a cloud setting. The forecasting error can be decreased by introducing a range of values, and we employ as reported by Engelbrecht HA and van Greunen M (in: Network and Service Management (CNSM), 2015 11th International Conference, 2015) OER (over estimation rate) and UER (under estimation rate) to cope with the error produced by over or under estimation of CPU and memory utilization. The prediction accuracy is tested using statistical-based analysis using Google's 29-day trail and BitBrain (BB).

A blockchain-based smart home gateway architecture for preventing data forgery
With the advancement of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and the proliferation of sensor technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT) is now being widely used in smart home for the purposes of efficient resource management and pervasive sensing. In smart homes, various IoT devices are connected to each other, and these connections are centered on gateways. The role of gateways in the smart homes is significant, however, its centralized structure presents multiple security vulnerabilities such as integrity, certification, and availability. To address these security vulnerabilities, in this paper, we propose a blockchain-based smart home gateway network that counters possible attacks on the gateway of smart homes. The network consists of three layers including device, gateway, and cloud layers. The blockchain technology is employed at the gateway layer wherein data is stored and exchanged in the form blocks of blockchain to support decentralization and overcome the problem from traditional centralized architecture. The blockchain ensures the integrity of the data inside and outside of the smart home and provides availability through authentication and efficient communication between network members. We implemented the proposed network on the Ethereum blockchain technology and evaluated in terms of standard security measures including security response time and accuracy. The evaluation results demonstrate that the proposed security solutions outperforms over the existing solutions.

A survey of Kubernetes scheduling algorithms
As cloud services expand, the need to improve the performance of data center infrastructure becomes more important. High-performance computing, advanced networking solutions, and resource optimization strategies can help data centers maintain the speed and efficiency necessary to provide high-quality cloud services. Running containerized applications is one such optimization strategy, offering benefits such as improved portability, enhanced security, better resource utilization, faster deployment and scaling, and improved integration and interoperability. These benefits can help organizations improve their application deployment and management, enabling them to respond more quickly and effectively to dynamic business needs. Kubernetes is a container orchestration system designed to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. One of its key features is the ability to schedule the deployment and execution of containers across a cluster of nodes using a scheduling algorithm. This algorithm determines the best placement of containers on the available nodes in the cluster. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review of various scheduling algorithms in the context of Kubernetes. We characterize and group them into four sub-categories: generic scheduling, multi-objective optimization-based scheduling, AI-focused scheduling, and autoscaling enabled scheduling, and identify gaps and issues that require further research.

Highly Accurate and Reliable Wireless Network Slicing in 5th Generation Networks: A Hybrid Deep Learning Approach
In current era, the next generation networks like 5th generation (5G) and 6th generation (6G) networks requires high security, low latency with a high reliable standards and capacity. In these networks, reconfigurable wireless network slicing is considered as one of the key element for 5G and 6G networks. A reconfigurable slicing allows the operators to run various instances of the network using a single infrastructure for better quality of services (QoS). The QoS can be achieved by reconfiguring and optimizing these networks using Artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. To develop a smart decision-making mechanism for network management and restricting network slice failures, machine learning-enabled reconfigurable wireless network solutions are required. In this paper, we propose a hybrid deep learning model that consists of convolution neural network (CNN) and long short term memory (LSTM). The CNN performs resource allocation, network reconfiguration, and slice selection while the LSTM is used for statistical information (load balancing, error rate etc.) regarding network slices. The applicability of the proposed model is validated by using multiple unknown devices, slice failure, and overloading conditions. An overall accuracy of 95.17% is achieved by the proposed model that reflects its applicability.

QoS-Aware Task Offloading in Fog Environment Using Multi-agent Deep Reinforcement Learning
With the surge of intelligent devices, applications of Internet of Things (IoT) are growing at a rapid pace. As a result, a massive amount of raw data is generated, which must be processed and stored. IoT devices standalone are not enough to handle large amount of data. Hence, to improve the performance, users started to push some jobs to far-situated cloud data centers, which would lead to more complications such as high bandwidth usage, service latency, and energy consumption. Fog computing emerges as a key enabling technology that brings cloud services closer to the end-user. However, owing to the unpredictability of tasks and Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of users, efficient task scheduling and resource allocation mechanisms are needed to balance the demand. To handle the problem efficiently, we have designed the task offloading problem as Markov Decision Process (MDP) by considering various user QoS factors including end-to-end latency, energy consumption, task deadline, and priority. Three different model-free off-policy Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) based solutions are outlined to maximize the reward in terms of resource utilization. Finally, extensive experimentation is conducted to validate and compare the efficiency and effectiveness of proposed mechanisms. Results show that with the proposed method, on average 96.23% of tasks can satisfy the deadline with an 8.25% increase.
