Abstract

Sheep are a significant food source for humans, besides cattle and poultry. Despite its significance to Malaysian Muslims, who make up approximately 60% of the local population, the sheep supply is limited by the high mortality rate caused by fatal diseases such as foot and mouth disease (FMD) and tetanus. Infected sheep can spread food-borne bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, at various preparation phases, contaminating the meat. The objectives of this study are to identify internal and external factors that influence sheep breed lineage continuity, investigate current practices for collecting and managing data knowledge on sheep breed and hereditary diseases, and propose a sheep breed and disease data knowledge model based on the feedforward artificial neural network (FANN) deep learning method. This study utilized qualitative and quantitative data to obtain in-depth answers to the research questions, which involves collecting all the information required for the system development using the FANN deep learning method. This study found that breeding is the leading data group for tracking each sheep's ADG and BCS. Feed type, sanitization, and medication influence sheep’s daily increase and health. Collaboration, worker knowledge, and climate are recognized as external factors that potentially influence sheep's daily increase. The interview analysis also suggested attributes that could contribute to detecting breed lineage, including breed, category, ADG, and BCS. Therefore, it is recommended that future research adopt this method for other farmed animals.

Abstract

A good WLAN performance is crucial in determining the quality of experience (QoE) among the campus community. Proper WLAN planning and design should be done beforehand to ensure good WLAN performance. Various studies have discussed different methods of conducting WLAN planning to predict WLAN's best performance, including using artificial intelligence and mathematical approaches. One of the processes involved in performing WLAN planning is measuring performance parameters. Signal strength is one of the vital parameters to be measured in determining the excellent performance of WLAN in a particular area. When deploying a WLAN design in two different environments, the signal strength outcomes can differ due to various factors, including obstacles and path loss propagation issues within the deployment area. Higher Learning Institutions (HLIs) present a unique challenge as their building designs vary to accommodate student needs. As a result, the selection of materials used will also be different, affecting the WLAN performance. A detailed study should investigate the effect of path loss propagation and the type of obstacle that affects WLAN performance in HLI. Thus, this study focuses on predicting received signal strength using Friis Transmission and studying the effect of path loss propagation on WLAN performance. The simulated model significantly affects signal strength when the signal passes through different types of building material (non-LOS) and line-of-sight (NLOS), where concrete walls substantially affect the received signal strength between transmitters. The proposed model can assist network planners in designing robust WLAN infrastructure by improving signal strength, particularly in the HLI WLAN environment.

Abstract

One major problem commonly faced by organizations is a network attack especially if the network is vulnerable due to poor security policies. Network security is vital in protecting not only the infrastructure but most importantly, the data that moves around the network and is stored within the organization. Ensuring a secure network requires a complex combination of hardware including both network and security devices, specialized applications such as web filtering and log management, and a group of well-trained network administrators and highly skilled analysts.  This paper aims to present an alternative to the current log management solution. A hindrance to the current log management solution is the difficulty in amalgamating and correlating a vast number of logs with different formats and variables. This paper uses a novel framework called Log Consolidation Processing (LCP) based on the System Information Event Management (SIEM) technology, to monitor the behavior and the fitness of a network. LCP provides a flexible and complete solution to collect, correlate, and analyze logs from multiple devices as well as applications. An experiment testing the effectiveness of LCP in detecting DDoS attacks in a campus network environment was conducted, demonstrating a highly successful rate of detection. Besides threat detection and avoidance through log monitoring and analysis, other benefits of implementing the LCP framework are also included. This paper concludes by mentioning suggested enhancements for the LCP framework.

Abstract

Access to networks and the Internet has multiplied, and data traffic is growing exponentially and quickly. High network utilization, along with varied traffic types in the network, poses a considerable challenge and impact on the ICT Infrastructure, particularly affecting the performance and responsiveness of real-time application users who will experience slowness and poor performance. Conventional/traditional Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, designed to ensure reliable and efficient data transmission, are increasingly insufficient due to their static nature and inability to adapt to the dynamic demands of modern networks.  As such, this study introduces a Novel Network Optimization Framework leveraging the combined strengths of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Deep Learning (DL) to dynamically manage multiple QoS of network devices in enterprise and campus network environments. The proposed system is a dynamic QoS that utilizes SDN's global monitoring and centralized management control capabilities to programmatically control network devices, ensuring that sensitive traffic is allocated with appropriate bandwidth and minimized latency. Concurrently, DL algorithms enhance the framework's decision-making process by proposing an accurate preferred configuration for the best adequate bandwidth for sensitive traffic transmission. This integration facilitates real-time adjustments to network conditions and improves overall network performance by ensuring high-priority applications receive the bandwidth they require without manual/human intervention. By providing a dynamic, intelligent solution to QoS management, this framework represents a significant step forward in developing more adaptable, resilient, and efficient networks capable of supporting the demands of contemporary and future digital ecosystems.

Abstract

The widespread use of proxy servers has introduced challenges in managing and securing internet connections, particularly in detecting non-transparent proxies that obscure the originating IP address. Proxy servers, while beneficial for bandwidth management and anonymity, can be exploited for malicious purposes, such as bypassing geo-restrictions or concealing cyberattacks. This study aims to address the gap in identifying proxy usage by providing an organized review of existing detection techniques and proposing a hybrid server-side detection framework. The objectives of the research include identifying and comparing proxy detection methods, developing a hybrid approach using machine learning, and evaluating its effectiveness in enhancing network security. The methodology involves collecting primary data through controlled environments simulating direct and proxy-based connections. A machine learning model, based on the Apriori algorithm, is employed to analyze network traffic patterns and identify characteristics indicative of proxy usage. Attributes such as IP addresses, port numbers, and round-trip times are used to train the model. The proposed framework is tested for its robustness, accuracy, and speed against existing detection methods. The results demonstrate the feasibility of the hybrid approach in improving the detection of non-transparent proxies, particularly those not easily identifiable using conventional techniques. The findings have significant implications for securing server-side infrastructure, aiding in cyber threat mitigation, and enforcing organizational policies. Future research can expand on this framework by testing it against broader proxy types and integrating real-world data to enhance its reliability and scope. This study contributes to advancing cybersecurity practices by addressing a critical challenge in proxy detection.

Abstract

In efforts to minimize harmful greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and mitigate climate change, energy efficiency has become a global priority. Commercial buildings, including university facilities such as Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia (UPNM), play a significant role in this effort, particularly in becoming a smart campus. Commercial buildings have been identified as major contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, primarily due to their high energy consumption for air conditioning, lighting, and other operational needs. In alignment with the Paris Agreement 2016, the Malaysian government has implemented various energy-saving initiatives to reduce carbon emissions and achieve Energy Efficient Building Star Ratings. This study analyses five years of energy consumption at UPNM using the desktop audit method. Data collected from January 2018 to December 2022 includes the Nett Floor Area (NFA), energy consumption, and maximum demand of the UPNM buildings. The analysis encompasses energy consumption and expenditure, maximum demand, Building Energy Intensity (BEI), carbon footprint, and building energy labeling under the National Building Energy Labelling Standard. The findings indicate that UPNM has achieved a 5-star rating in 2020 and 2021, compared to a 4-star rating in 2018, 2019, and 2022. The BEI of UPNM buildings from 2018 to 2022 met the Energy Commission (EC) requirement of being below 135 kWh/m²/year. This study has also identified recommendations for further enhancing the energy efficiency of the UPNM Building, including regular maintenance of electrical appliances and conducting energy efficiency awareness campaigns.
