Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 26Recent Advances in Machine Learning for Network Automation in the O-RAN(MDPI, 2023-10-28) Hamdan, Mutasem Q.; Lee, Haeyoung; Triantafyllopoulou, Dionysia; Borralho, Ruben; Kose, Abdulkadir; Amiri, Esmaeil; Tafazolli, RahimThe evolution of network technologies has witnessed a paradigm shift toward open and intelligent networks, with the Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) architecture emerging as a promising solution. O-RAN introduces disaggregation and virtualization, enabling network operators to deploy multi-vendor and interoperable solutions. However, managing and automating the complex O-RAN ecosystem presents numerous challenges. To address this, machine learning (ML) techniques have gained considerable attention in recent years, offering promising avenues for network automation in O-RAN. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of the current research efforts on network automation usingML in O-RAN.We begin by providing an overview of the O-RAN architecture and its key components, highlighting the need for automation. Subsequently, we delve into O-RAN support forML techniques. The survey then explores challenges in network automation usingML within the O-RAN environment, followed by the existing research studies discussing application of ML algorithms and frameworks for network automation in O-RAN. The survey further discusses the research opportunities by identifying important aspects whereML techniques can benefit.Article Citation - WoS: 244Citation - Scopus: 325Productive Employment and Decent Work: The Impact of AI Adoption on Psychological Contracts, Job Engagement and Employee Trust(Elsevier Science inc, 2021-07) Braganza, Ashley; Chen, Weifeng; Canhoto, Ana; Sap, SerapThis research examines the tension between the aims of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 8 (SDG 8), to promote productive employment and decent work, and the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Our findings are based on the analysis of 232 survey results, where we tested the effects of AI adoption on workers' psychological contract, engagement and trust. We find that psychological contracts had a significant, positive effect on job engagement and on trust. Yet, with AI adoption, the positive effect of psychological contracts fell significantly. A further re-examination of the extant literature leads us to posit that AI adoption fosters the creation of a third type of psychological contract, which we term "Alienational". Whereas SDG 8 is premised on strengthening relational contracts between an organization and its employees, the adoption of AI has the opposite effect, detracting from the very nature of decent work.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 9Priceless: Privacy Enhanced AI-Driven Scalable Framework for IoT Applications in Serverless Edge Computing Environments(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2024-02-14) Golec, Muhammed; Golec, Mustafa; Xu, Minxian; Wu, Huaming; Gill, Sukhpal Singh; Uhlig, SteveServerless edge computing has emerged as a new paradigm that integrates the serverless and edge computing. By bringing processing power closer to the edge of the network, it provides advantages such as low latency by quickly processing data for time-sensitive Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Additionally, serverless edge computing also brings inherent problems of edge and serverless computing such as cold start, security and privacy that are still waiting to be solved. In this paper, we propose a new Blockchain-based AI-driven scalable framework called PRICELESS, to offer security and privacy in serverless edge computing environments while performing cold start prediction. In PRICELESS framework, we used deep reinforcement learning for the cold start latency prediction. For experiments, a cold start dataset is created using a heart disease risk-based IoT application and deployed using Google Cloud Functions. Experimental results show the additional delay that the blockchain module brings to cold start latency and its impact on cold start prediction performance. Additionally, the performance of PRICELESS is compared with the current state-of-the-art method based on energy cost, computation time and cold start prediction. Specifically, it has been observed that PRICELESS causes 19 ms of external latency, 358.2 watts for training, and 3.6 watts for prediction operations, resulting in additional energy consumption at the expense of security and privacy.Article Citation - WoS: 53Citation - Scopus: 70Machine Learning-Based Intrusion Detection for Achieving Cybersecurity in Smart Grids Using IEC 61850 Goose Messages(MDPI, 2021-05-08) Ustun, Taha Selim; Hussain, S. M. Suhail; Ulutas, Ahsen; Onen, Ahmet; Roomi, Muhammad M.; Mashima, Daisuke; Suhail Hussain, S.M.Increased connectivity is required to implement novel coordination and control schemes. IEC 61850-based communication solutions have become popular due to many reasons-object-oriented modeling capability, interoperable connectivity and strong communication protocols, to name a few. However, communication infrastructure is not well-equipped with cybersecurity mechanisms for secure operation. Unlike online banking systems that have been running such security systems for decades, smart grid cybersecurity is an emerging field. To achieve security at all levels, operational technology-based security is also needed. To address this need, this paper develops an intrusion detection system for smart grids utilizing IEC 61850's Generic Object-Oriented Substation Event (GOOSE) messages. The system is developed with machine learning and is able to monitor the communication traffic of a given power system and distinguish normal events from abnormal ones, i.e., attacks. The designed system is implemented and tested with a realistic IEC 61850 GOOSE message dataset under symmetric and asymmetric fault conditions in the power system. The results show that the proposed system can successfully distinguish normal power system events from cyberattacks with high accuracy. This ensures that smart grids have intrusion detection in addition to cybersecurity features attached to exchanged messages.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Intelligent Traffic Light Systems Using Edge Flow Predictions(Elsevier, 2024-01) Thahir, Adam Rizvi; Coskun, Mustafa; Kilic, Sultan Kubra; Gungor, Vehbi CagriIn this paper, we propose a novel graph-based semi-supervised learning approach for traffic light management in multiple intersections. Specifically, the basic premise behind our paper is that if we know some of the occupied roads and predict which roads will be congested, we can dynamically change traffic lights at the intersections that are connected to the roads anticipated to be congested. Comparative performance evaluations show that the proposed approach can produce comparable average vehicle waiting time and reduce the training/learning time of learning adequate traffic light configurations for all intersections within a few seconds, while a deep learning-based approach can be trained in a few days for learning similar light configurations.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 18Histopathology Image Classification: Highlighting the Gap Between Manual Analysis and AI Automation(Frontiers Media S.A., 2024-01-17) Dogan, Refika Sultan; Yilmaz, BulentThe field of histopathological image analysis has evolved significantly with the advent of digital pathology, leading to the development of automated models capable of classifying tissues and structures within diverse pathological images. Artificial intelligence algorithms, such as convolutional neural networks, have shown remarkable capabilities in pathology image analysis tasks, including tumor identification, metastasis detection, and patient prognosis assessment. However, traditional manual analysis methods have generally shown low accuracy in diagnosing colorectal cancer using histopathological images. This study investigates the use of AI in image classification and image analytics using histopathological images using the histogram of oriented gradients method. The study develops an AI-based architecture for image classification using histopathological images, aiming to achieve high performance with less complexity through specific parameters and layers. In this study, we investigate the complicated state of histopathological image classification, explicitly focusing on categorizing nine distinct tissue types. Our research used open-source multi-centered image datasets that included records of 100.000 non-overlapping images from 86 patients for training and 7180 non-overlapping images from 50 patients for testing. The study compares two distinct approaches, training artificial intelligence-based algorithms and manual machine learning models, to automate tissue classification. This research comprises two primary classification tasks: binary classification, distinguishing between normal and tumor tissues, and multi-classification, encompassing nine tissue types, including adipose, background, debris, stroma, lymphocytes, mucus, smooth muscle, normal colon mucosa, and tumor. Our findings show that artificial intelligence-based systems can achieve 0.91 and 0.97 accuracy in binary and multi-class classifications. In comparison, the histogram of directed gradient features and the Random Forest classifier achieved accuracy rates of 0.75 and 0.44 in binary and multi-class classifications, respectively. Our artificial intelligence-based methods are generalizable, allowing them to be integrated into histopathology diagnostics procedures and improve diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. The CNN model outperforms existing machine learning techniques, demonstrating its potential to improve the precision and effectiveness of histopathology image analysis. This research emphasizes the importance of maintaining data consistency and applying normalization methods during the data preparation stage for analysis. It particularly highlights the potential of artificial intelligence to assess histopathological images.Editorial Editorial Market-Based Distributed Energy Resources Operation for Future Power Systems(Frontiers Media S.A., 2022-12-13) Onen, Ahmet; Jung, Jaesung; Guerrero, Josep M. M.; Lee, Chul-Ho; Hossain, Md AlamgirArticle Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Edgebus: Co-Simulation Based Resource Management for Heterogeneous Mobile Edge Computing Environments(Elsevier, 2024-12) Ali, Babar; Golec, Muhammed; Gill, Sukhpal Singh; Wu, Huaming; Cuadrado, Felix; Uhlig, SteveKubernetes has revolutionized traditional monolithic Internet of Things (IoT) applications into lightweight, decentralized, and independent microservices, thus becoming the de facto standard in the realm of container orchestration. Intelligent and efficient container placement in Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is challenging subjected to user mobility, and surplus but heterogeneous computing resources. One solution to constantly altering user location is to relocate containers closer to the user; however, this leads to additional underutilized active nodes and increases migration's computational overhead. On the contrary, few to no migrations are attributed to higher latency, thus degrading the Quality of Service (QoS). To tackle these challenges, we created a framework named EdgeBus(1), which enables the co-simulation of container resource management in heterogeneous MEC environments based on Kubernetes. It enables the assessment of the impact of container migrations on resource management, energy, and latency. Further, we propose a mobility and migration cost-aware (MANGO) lightweight scheduler for efficient container management by incorporating migration cost, CPU cores, and memory usage for container scheduling. For user mobility, the Cabspotting dataset is employed, which contains real-world traces of taxi mobility in San Francisco. In the EdgeBus framework, we have created a simulated environment aided with a real-world testbed using Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) to measure the performance of the MANGO scheduler in comparison to baseline schedulers such as IMPALA-based MobileKube, Latency Greedy, and Binpacking. Finally, extensive experiments have been conducted, which demonstrate the effectiveness of the MANGO in terms of latency and number of migrations.Article Citation - Scopus: 49EdgeAISim: A Toolkit for Simulation and Modelling of AI Models in Edge Computing Environments(Elsevier Ltd, 2024-02) Nandhakumar, Aadharsh Roshan; Baranwal, Ayush; Choudhary, Priyanshukumar; Golec, Muhammed; Gill, Sukhpal SinghTo meet next-generation Internet of Things (IoT) application demands, edge computing moves processing power and storage closer to the network edge to minimize latency and bandwidth utilization. Edge computing is becoming increasingly popular as a result of these benefits, but it comes with challenges such as managing resources efficiently. Researchers are utilising Artificial Intelligence (AI) models to solve the challenge of resource management in edge computing systems. However, existing simulation tools are only concerned with typical resource management policies, not the adoption and implementation of AI models for resource management, especially. Consequently, researchers continue to face significant challenges, making it hard and time-consuming to use AI models when designing novel resource management policies for edge computing with existing simulation tools. To overcome these issues, we propose a lightweight Python-based toolkit called EdgeAISim for the simulation and modelling of AI models for designing resource management policies in edge computing environments. In EdgeAISim, we extended the basic components of the EdgeSimPy framework and developed new AI-based simulation models for task scheduling, energy management, service migration, network flow scheduling, and mobility support for edge computing environments. In EdgeAISim, we have utilized advanced AI models such as Multi-Armed Bandit with Upper Confidence Bound, Deep Q-Networks, Deep Q-Networks with Graphical Neural Network, and Actor-Critic Network to optimize power usage while efficiently managing task migration within the edge computing environment. The performance of these proposed models of EdgeAISim is compared with the baseline, which uses a worst-fit algorithm-based resource management policy in different settings. Experimental results indicate that EdgeAISim exhibits a substantial reduction in power consumption, highlighting the compelling success of power optimization strategies in EdgeAISim. The development of EdgeAISim represents a promising step towards sustainable edge computing, providing eco-friendly and energy-efficient solutions that facilitate efficient task management in edge environments for different large-scale scenarios. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 85Citation - Scopus: 140Edge AI: A Taxonomy, Systematic Review and Future Directions(Springer, 2024-10-18) Gill, Sukhpal Singh; Golec, Muhammed; Hu, Jianmin; Xu, Minxian; Du, Junhui; Wu, Huaming; Uhlig, SteveEdge Artificial Intelligence (AI) incorporates a network of interconnected systems and devices that receive, cache, process, and analyse data in close communication with the location where the data is captured with AI technology.
