During the last years, the use of Domain Generation Algorithms (DGAs) has increased with the aim of improving the resiliency of communication between bots and Command and Control (C&C) infrastructure. In this paper, we report on an effective DGA-detection algorithm based on a single network monitoring. The first step of the proposed method is the detection of a bot looking for the C&C and...
Feedback communication channels allow end-users to express their needs, which can be considered in software development and evolution. Although feedback gathering and analysis have been identified as an important topic and several researchers have started their investigation, information is scarce on how software companies currently elicit end-user feedback. In this study, we explore the experiences...
Vagueness in software requirements documents can lead to several maintenance problems, especially when the customer and development team do not share the same language. Currently, companies rely on human translators to maintain communication and limit vagueness by translating the requirement documents by hand. In this paper, we describe two approaches that automatically identify vagueness in requirements...
The approach for the description, control and management of the quality indicators of the software development project is proposed. The approach is based on the presentation of quality indicators using fuzzy situations equation. The system of requirements to the composition of software quality characteristics is formed. The composition and structure of the automated situational system with fuzzy logic...
The problem of corporations bankruptcy risk forecasting is considered under uncertainty and unreliable information. For its solution the application of fuzzy neural networks (FNN) with inference of Mamdani and Tsukamoto is suggested. Fuzzy inference rules and forecasting algorithm are developed. The experimental investigations of FNN application for bankruptcy risk forecasting of Ukrainian enterprises...
In this paper, we propose a method for constructing a judging model of closeness in human relations, which plays an important role in human communication. The purpose of this model is to clarify the correlation between linguistic honorific expressions and closeness in order to develop a support tool related to the utilization of honorific expressions using information technology. Existing studies...
<bold>Background:</bold> This study examines the generic structure of corporate social responsibility (CSR) reports, which are becoming standard practice for corporate communication of social and environmental performance beyond financial disclosure. <bold>Literature review:</bold> Genre theories provide a framework for exploring genres contextualized in different cultures...
This paper proposes a methodology based on Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) and Fuzzy Inference Systems (FIS), to obtain a better selection of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). The company, which are going to acquire the software, bases this selection on their own imposed criteria and the ERPs alternatives based on some supplier's information. To select the most appropriate ERP, at the beginning,...
This paper proposes a new scientific ranking framework for optimal selection of cloud vendor(CV) for the organization. For this purpose, a set of target dimensions for cloud computing from customer point of view are defined, based on expert reviews, international literature reviews and cloud provider market analysis. This study proposes intuitionistic fuzzy group decision making (IF-GDM) approach...
We propose a method for automatic modeling of electronic devices using a prefix-suffix approach. We implement it into a user-friendly computer program and give preliminary results supporting the validity of our approach. Patterns of prefixes and suffixes are obtained. We find two patterns giving 100% correct detection of supply current in 10 regulators' datasheets from Texas Instrument Inc.
The purpose of the article is to develop and substantiate a model for assessing the index of development of sustainable marketing of the company using fuzzy approach. The main point of sustainable marketing is to achieve balance of the company's economic interests and its social and environmental responsibility. “The index of development of sustainable marketing of the company” is determined by a...
This paper takes a view on the Quality-of-Experience (QoE) perspective of Cyber-Physical System (CpS) applications involving users. We provide an overview of characteristics of CPS applications, their relation to QoE and implications for assessing QoE of such systems. Furthermore, we incorporate eudaimonic aspects such as meaningfulness and personal growth that need to be considered in order to grasp...
When some agents in the supply chain are failure, the whole supply chain may be influenced. This paper presents a framework for identifying vulnerable agents in supply chain network. The framework consists of three main components: supply chain dynamic network, risk transmission model, and identifying vulnerable nodes. The supply chain dynamic network component consists of constructing the supply...
Our increasingly digital life provides a wealth of data about our behavior, beliefs, mood, and well-being. This data provides some insight into the lives of patients outside the healthcare setting, and in aggregate can be insightful for the person's mental health and emotional crisis. Here, we introduce this community to some of the recent advancement in using natural language processing and machine...
Due to more and more on-premises services are migrating onto cloud, user behavioral analysis then gets popular as a data-driven way to administer lots accounts of on-cloud services. This paper proposes a novel rule-based approach, GMiner, for mining different types of Google cloud drive usages as an unsupervised account-management approach. Experiment results show that GMiner provides accurate, inter-pretable,...
The location selection of distribution centers is one of important strategies to optimize the logistics system. To solve this problem, this paper presents a new multi-actor multi-attribute decision-making method based on ELECTRE I. The proposed method helps decision-makers to select a preferred location from a given set of locations for implementing. The strength of the proposed method is to incorporate...
Insider threats are difficult to deal with because employees in any organization have a certain level of access to the company's secure network which bypasses the external security measures such as firewalls that have been put in place to protect the organization. The goal of this paper is to design and implement a predictive model which uses linguistic analysis as well as K-means to determine an...
This research aims at developing a hybrid model for non-homogeneous group decision making in the supplier selection process to select a supplier that best satisfies the purchaser. The model uses the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) in determining the influence weightings of company function department (CFD), then the house of quality (HOQ), as an essential part of the quality function deployment...
Supplier selection/evaluation is considered as a critical activity for establishing an effective supply chain. This is particularly relevant to situations where a large number of global suppliers are involved, as is in the case of a pharmaceutical set-up. The current study focuses on a multi-criteria decision making problem which includes both qualitative and quantitative criteria relevant to supplier...
Supplier selection and evaluation plays an importance role for companies to gain competitive advantage and achieve the objectives of the whole supply chain. To select the appropriate suppliers, many qualitative and quantitative criteria are needed consider in the decision process. Therefore, supplier selection and evaluation can be seem as a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem in vague environment...
