Advancing Autoencoder Architectures for Enhanced Anomaly Detection in Multivariate Industrial Time Series

In the context of rapid digitization in industrial environments,how effective are advanced unsupervised learning models,particularly hybrid autoencoder models,at detecting anomalies in industrial control system(ICS)datasets?This study is crucial because it addresses the challenge of identifying rare and complex anomalous patterns in the vast amounts of time series data generated by Internet of Things(IoT)devices,which can significantly improve the reliability and safety of these systems.In this paper,we propose a hybrid autoencoder model,called ConvBiLSTMAE,which combines convolutional neural network(CNN)and bidirectional long short-term memory(BiLSTM)to more effectively train complex temporal data patterns in anomaly detection.On the hardware-in-the-loopbased extended industrial control system dataset,the ConvBiLSTM-AE model demonstrated remarkable anomaly detection performance,achieving F1 scores of 0.78 and 0.41 for the first and second datasets,respectively.The results suggest that hybrid autoencoder models are not only viable,but potentially superior alternatives for unsupervised anomaly detection in complex industrial systems,offering a promising approach to improving their reliability and safety.

Development Status and Industrial Security Countermeasures of Maize Deep-processing Industry in Shandong Province--Based on the Actual Investigation in Five Cities and Counties of Shandong Province

Corn deep processing industry is an important follow-up industry for corn production and processing. Shandong has numerous largescale corn processing enterprises and is one of the fast-growing regions in China for deep processing of corn. The status of production and processing of corn in the major corn-producing areas of Shandong Province such as Dezhou,Liaocheng and Tai'an was investigated on the spot. It was found that the development of the corn industry in Shandong also has many problems,such as the mismatch between corn demand and production areas,the excessively small planting area of special corn and the poor communication between technology and demand,resulting in barriers in technology and raw materials in the production and processing links of corn and making it difficult to form a complete industrial chain system. According to the actual investigation,a highly efficient agricultural industry safety review mechanism was established based on the sound judgement of industrial safety to ensure the safety of the company's development,and at the same time,the interpretation and promotion of the strategy of going abroad was strengthened,so as to provide a full range of information services for corn processing enterprises and help to further develop and optimize the corn industry in Shandong.

Edge Computing Task Scheduling with Joint Blockchain and Task Caching in Industrial Internet

Deploying task caching at edge servers has become an effectiveway to handle compute-intensive and latency-sensitive tasks on the industrialinternet. However, how to select the task scheduling location to reduce taskdelay and cost while ensuring the data security and reliable communicationof edge computing remains a challenge. To solve this problem, this paperestablishes a task scheduling model with joint blockchain and task cachingin the industrial internet and designs a novel blockchain-assisted cachingmechanism to enhance system security. In this paper, the task schedulingproblem, which couples the task scheduling decision, task caching decision,and blockchain reward, is formulated as the minimum weighted cost problemunder delay constraints. This is a mixed integer nonlinear problem, which isproved to be nonconvex and NP-hard. To solve the optimal solution, thispaper proposes a task scheduling strategy algorithm based on an improvedgenetic algorithm (IGA-TSPA) by improving the genetic algorithm initializationand mutation operations to reduce the size of the initial solutionspace and enhance the optimal solution convergence speed. In addition,an Improved Least Frequently Used algorithm is proposed to improve thecontent hit rate. Simulation results show that IGA-TSPA has a faster optimalsolution-solving ability and shorter running time compared with the existingedge computing scheduling algorithms. The established task scheduling modelnot only saves 62.19% of system overhead consumption in comparison withlocal computing but also has great significance in protecting data security,reducing task processing delay, and reducing system cost.

One-Variable Attack on the Industrial Fault Classification System and Its Defense

Recently developed fault classification methods for industrial processes are mainly data-driven.Notably,models based on deep neural networks have significantly improved fault classification accuracy owing to the inclusion of a large number of data patterns.However,these data-driven models are vulnerable to adversarial attacks;thus,small perturbations on the samples can cause the models to provide incorrect fault predictions.Several recent studies have demonstrated the vulnerability of machine learning methods and the existence of adversarial samples.This paper proposes a black-box attack method with an extreme constraint for a safe-critical industrial fault classification system:Only one variable can be perturbed to craft adversarial samples.Moreover,to hide the adversarial samples in the visualization space,a Jacobian matrix is used to guide the perturbed variable selection,making the adversarial samples in the dimensional reduction space invisible to the human eye.Using the one-variable attack(OVA)method,we explore the vulnerability of industrial variables and fault types,which can help understand the geometric characteristics of fault classification systems.Based on the attack method,a corresponding adversarial training defense method is also proposed,which efficiently defends against an OVA and improves the prediction accuracy of the classifiers.In experiments,the proposed method was tested on two datasets from the Tennessee–Eastman process(TEP)and steel plates(SP).We explore the vulnerability and correlation within variables and faults and verify the effectiveness of OVAs and defenses for various classifiers and datasets.For industrial fault classification systems,the attack success rate of our method is close to(on TEP)or even higher than(on SP)the current most effective first-order white-box attack method,which requires perturbation of all variables.

A New Intrusion Detection Algorithm AE-3WD for Industrial Control Network

In this paper,we propose a intrusion detection algorithm based on auto-encoder and three-way decisions(AE-3WD)for industrial control networks,aiming at the security problem of industrial control network.The ideology of deep learning is similar to the idea of intrusion detection.Deep learning is a kind of intelligent algorithm and has the ability of automatically learning.It uses self-learning to enhance the experience and dynamic classification capabilities.We use deep learning to improve the intrusion detection rate and reduce the false alarm rate through learning,a denoising AutoEncoder and three-way decisions intrusion detection method AE-3WD is proposed to improve intrusion detection accuracy.In the processing,deep learning AutoEncoder is used to extract the features of high-dimensional data by combining the coefficient penalty and reconstruction loss function of the encode layer during the training mode.A multi-feature space can be constructed by multiple feature extractions from AutoEncoder,and then a decision for intrusion behavior or normal behavior is made by three-way decisions.NSL-KDD data sets are used to the experiments.The experiment results prove that our proposed method can extract meaningful features and effectively improve the performance of intrusion detection.

A Study on the Path of Improving the Modernization Level of Industrial and Supply Chains

is well known that a lot of studies have been conducted on the modernization of industrial and supply chains.However,scholars have not reached a consensus on the definition and dynamic mechanism of the improvement of the modernization level of industrial and supply chains yet.This paper clarifies the constituent factors of industrial and supply chains and defines the connotation of improvement of the modernization level of industrial and supply chains from the perspective of constituent subjects and structure according to the characteristics and requirements of the new era.Then,the paper proposes improving the modernization level of industrial and supply chains aiming to make it more adaptable to the requirements of Chinese development in a new stage,the increasing instability and uncertainty in the international environment,and a new round of technological change.To this end,the improvement of the modernization level of industrial and supply chains should embrace the further enhancement of the following dimensions:innovation capability,added value,sustainability,digitalization,safety and reliability,fairness,and smooth coordination.Based on the analysis of the upgrade types of the existing industrial and supply chains,this paper distinguishes the factors driving the improvement of the modernization level of industrial and supply chains from a basic level.It proposes four basic dynamic mechanisms,namely,final demand,factor supply,regional industrial cluster,and integration into the global industrial division system.Finally,the paper analyzes the working way of the four dynamic mechanisms and the main constraints they face,and based on this,put forward a path to break through the constraints.
