(Український державний університет науки і технологій, ННІ «Інститут промислових та бізнес технологій», ІВК «Системні технології», Дніпро, 2022) Pakhomova, Victoria M.; Mehelbei, Yehor O.
ENG: Creating an effective system for detecting network attacks requires the use of qualitatively new approaches to information processing, which should be based on adaptive algorithms capable of self-learning. The mathematical apparatus of the Kohonen self-organizing map (SOM) was used as a research method. Python language with a wide range of modern standard tools was used as a software implementation of the Kohonen SOM addition, this section compiles the Python software model «SOM_U2R» using a Kohonen SOM. Created «SOM_U2R» software model on database NSL-KDD an error research was performed for different number of epochs with different map sizes. On the «SOM_U2R» model the research of parameters of quality of detection of attacks is carried out. It is determined that on the «SOM_U2R» created software model the error of the second kind of detection of network classes of attacks Buffer_overflow and Rootkit is 6 %, and for the class Loadmodule reached 16 %. In addition, a survey of the Fmeasure was conducted for a different number of epochs of learning the Kohonen SOM.

ENG: Purpose. The article is aimed at the development of a methodology for detecting attacks on a computer network. To achieve this goal the following tasks were solved: to develop a methodology for detecting attacks on a computer network based on an ensemble of neural networks using normalized data from the open KDD Cup 99 database; when performing machine training to identify the optimal parameters of the neural network which will provide a sufficiently high level of reliability of detection of intrusions into the computer network. Methodology. As an architectural solution of the attack detection module, a two-level network system is proposed, based on an ensemble of five neural networks of the multilayer perceptron type. The first neural network to determine the category of attack class (DoS, R2L, U2R, Probe) or the fact that there was no attack; other neural networks – to detect the type of attack, if any (each of these four neural networks corresponds to one class of attack and is able to identify types that belong only to this class). Findings. The created software model was used to study the parameters of the neural network configuration 41–1–132–5, which determines the category of the attack class on the computer network. It is determined that the optimal training speed is 0.001. The ADAM algorithm proved to be the best for optimization. The ReLU function is the most suitable activation function for the hidden layer, and the hyperbolic tangent function – for the output layer activation function. Accuracy in test and validation samples was 92.86 % and 91.03 %, respectively. Originality. The developed software model, which uses the Python 3.5 programming lan-guage, the integrated development environment PyCharm 2016.3 and the Tensorflow 1.2 framework, makes it pos-sible to detect all types of attacks of DoS, U2R, R2L, Probe classes. Practical value. Graphical dependencies of accuracy of neural networks at various parameters are received: speed of training; activation function; optimization algorithm. The optimal parameters of neural networks have been determined, which will ensure a sufficiently high level of reliability of intrusion detection into a computer network.

Forecasting Network Traffic in the Information and Telecommunication System of Railway Transport by Means of a Neural Network
(MATEC Web of Conferences, 2023) Zhukovytskyy, Igor V.; Pakhomova, Victoria M.
ENG: Network traffic is one of the most important actual indicators of the information and telecommunication system (ITS) of railway transport. Recent studies show that network traffic in the ITS of railway transport is self-similar (fractal), for the study of which the Hirst indicator can be used. One of the possible solutions is a method of network traffic forecasting using neural network technology, which will allow you to manage traffic in real time, avoid server overload and improve the quality of services, which confirms the relevance of this topic. The method of forecasting the parameters of network traffic in the ITS of railway transport using neural network technology is proposed: for long-term forecasting (day-ahead) of network traffic volume based on network traffic volumes for the previous three days using the created multilayer neuro-fuzzy network; for short-term prediction (one step forward, which takes five minutes) of network traffic intensity based on network traffic intensities for the previous fifteen minutes using the created multilayer neural network. The corresponding samples are formed on the basis of real values of network traffic parameters in the ITS of railway transport. Studies of optimal parameters of the created multilayer neural network, which can be integrated into specialized analytical servers of the ITS of railway transport, are carried out, which will provide a sufficiently high level of short-term forecasting of network traffic parameters (in particular intensity) in the ITS of railway transport at the stage of deepening the integration of the national transport network into the Trans-European Transport Network.

(Дніпропетровський національний університет залізничного транспорту імені академіка В. Лазаряна, Дніпро, 2018) Zhukovyts’kyy, Igor V.; Pakhomova, Victoria M.
ENG: Purpose. Currently, there appear more often the reports of penetration into computer networks and attacks on the Web-server. Attacks are divided into the following categories: DoS, U2R, R2L, Probe. The purpose of the article is to identify threats in a computer network based on network traffic parameters using neural network technology, which will protect the server. Methodology. The detection of such threats as Back, Buffer_overflow, Quess_password, Ipsweep, Neptune in the computer network is implemented on the basis of analysis and processing of data on the parameters of network connections that use the TCP/IP protocol stack using the 19-1-25-5 neural network configuration in the Fann Explorer program. When simulating the operation of the neural network, a training (430 examples), a testing (200 examples) and a control sample (25 examples) were used, based on an open KDDCUP-99 database of 500000 connection records. Findings. The neural network created on the control sample determined an error of 0.322. It is determined that the configuration network 19-1-25-5 copes well with such attacks as Back, Buffer_overflow and Ipsweep. To detect the attacks of Quess_password and Neptune, the task of 19 network traffic parameters is not enough. Originality. We obtained dependencies of the neural network training time (number of epochs) on the number of neurons in the hidden layer (from 10 to 55) and the number of hidden layers (from 1 to 4). When the number of neurons in the hidden layer increases, the neural network by Batch algorithm is trained almost three times faster than the neural network by Resilient algorithm. When the number of hidden layers increases, the neural network by Resilient algorithm is trained almost twice as fast as that by Incremental algorithm. Practical value. Based on the network traffic parameters, the use of 19-1-25-5 configuration neural network will allow to detect in real time the computer network threats Back, Buffer_overflow, Quess_password, Ipsweep, Neptune and to perform appropriate monitoring.

In the program mode of the Deep Learning Toolbox package of the MatLAB environment, a corresponding model “Delay_path” was created, on which the root mean square error and the number of epochs of training of neural networks with different numbers of hidden neurons were studied using different neuron activation functions according to different learning algorithms on samples of different lengths. It was determined that the accuracy of the created neural network tool is 70 % for the considered fragment of the information and telecommunications system of railway transport.

(Дніпровський національний університет залізничного транспорту імені академіка В. Лазаряна, Дніпро, 2019) Pakhomova, Victoria M.; Skaballanovich, Tetiana I.; Bondareva, Valentyna S.
ENG: Purpose. At the present stage, the strategy of informatization of railway transport of Ukraine envisages the tran-sition to a three-level management structure with the creation of a single information space, therefore one of the key tasks remains the organization of routing in the network of information and telecommunication system (ITS) of railway transport. In this regard, the purpose of the article is to develop a method for determining the routes in the network of information and telecommunication system of railway transport at the trunk level using neural network technology. Methodology. In order to determine the routes in the network of the information and telecommunica-tion system of railway transport, which at present is working based on the technologies of the Ethernet family, one should create a neural model 21-1-45-21, to the input of which an array of delays on routers is supplied; as a result vector – build tags of communication channels to the routes. Findings. The optimal variant is the neural network of configuration 21-1-45-21 with a sigmoid activation function in a hidden layer and a linear activation function in the resulting layer, which is trained according to the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. The most quickly the neural net-work is being trained in the samples of different lengths, it is less susceptible to retraining, reaches the value of the mean square error of 0.2, and in the control sample determines the optimal path with a probability of 0.9, while the length of the training sample of 100 examples is sufficient. Originality. There were constructed the dependencies of mean square error and training time (number of epochs) of the neural network on the number of hidden neurons ac-cording to different learning algorithms: Levenberg-Marquardt; Bayesian Regularization; Scaled Conjugate Gradi-ent on samples of different lengths. Practical value. The use of a multilayered neural model, to the entry of which the delay values of routers are supplied, will make it possible to determine the corresponding routes of transmission of control messages (minimum value graph) in the network of information and telecommunication system of railway transport at the trunk level in the real time.

(Дніпропетровський національний університет залізничного транспорту імені академіка В. Лазаряна, Дніпро, 2016) Pakhomova, Victoria M.
ENG: Purpose. Continuous increase in network traffic in the information-telecommunication system (ITS) of Prydniprovsk Railways leads to the need to determine the real-time network congestion and to control the data flows. One of the possible solutions is a method of forecasting the volume of network traffic (inbound and outbound) using neural network technology that will prevent from server overload and improve the quality of services. Methodology. Analysis of current network traffic in ITS of Prydniprovsk Railways and preparation of sets: learning, test and validation ones was conducted as well as creation of neuro-fuzzy network (hybrid system) in Matlab program and organization of the following phases on the appropriate sets: learning, testing, forecast adequacy analysis. Findings. For the fragment (Dnipropetrovsk – Kyiv) in ITS of Prydniprovsk Railways we made a forecast (day ahead) for volume of network traffic based on the hybrid system created in Matlab program; MAPE values are as follows: 6.9% for volume of inbound traffic; 7.7% for volume of outbound traffic. It was found that the average learning error of the hybrid system decreases in case of increase in: the number of inputs (from 2 to 4); the number of terms (from 2 to 5) of the input variable; learning sample power (from 20 to 100). A significant impact on the average learning error of the hybrid system is caused by the number of terms of its input variable. It was determined that the lowest value of the average learning error is provided by 4-input hybrid system, it ensures more accurate learning of the neuro-fuzzy network by the hybrid method. Originality. The work resulted in the dependences for the average hybrid system error of the network traffic volume forecasting for the fragment (Dnipropetrovsk-Kyiv) in ITS Prydniprovsk Railways on: the number of its inputs, the number of input variable terms, the learning sample power for different learning methods. Practical value. Forecasting of network traffic volume in ITS of Prydniprovsk Railways will allow for real-time identification of the network congestion and control of data flows.
Optimal Route Definition in the Network Based on the Multilayer Neural Model
(Дніпропетровський національний університет залізничного транспорту імені академіка В. Лазаряна, Дніпро, 2018) Pakhomova, Victoria M.; Tsykalo Igor D.
ENG: Purpose. The classic algorithms for finding the shortest path on the graph that underlie existing routing protocols, which are now used in computer networks, in conditions of constant change in network traffic cannot lead to the optimal solution in real time. In this regard, the purpose of the article is to develop a methodology for determining the optimal route in the unified computer network. Methodology. To determine the optimal route in the computer network, the program model "MLP 34-2-410-34" was developed in Python using the TensorFlow framework. It allows toperform the following steps: sample generation (random or balanced); creation of a neural network, the input of which is an array of bandwidth of the computer network channels; training and testing of the neural network in the appropriate samples. Findings. Neural network of 34-2-410-34 configuration with ReLU and Leaky-ReLU activation functions in a hidden layer and the linear activation function in the output layer learns from Adam algorithm. This algorithm is a combination of Adagrad, RMSprop algorithms and stochastic gradient descent with inertia. These functions learn the most quickly in all volumes of the train sample, less than others are subject to reevaluation, and reach the value of the error of 0.0024 on the control sample and in 86% determine the optimal path. Originality. We conducted the study of the neural network parameters based of the calculation of the harmonic mean with different activation functions (Linear, Sigmoid, Tanh, Softplus, ReLU, L-ReLU) on train samples of different volumes (140, 1400, 14000, 49000 examples) and with various neural network training algorithms (BGD, MB SGD, Adam, Adamax, Nadam). Practical value. The use of a neural model, the input of which is an array of channel bandwidth, will allow in real time to determine the optimal route in the computer network.
Optimal Route Definition in the Railway Information Network Using Neural-Fuzzy Models
(Dnipro National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. Lazaryan, 2019) Pakhomova, Victoria M.; Mandybura, Y. S.
ENG: Purpose. Modern algorithms for choosing the shortest route, for example, the Bellman-Ford and Dijkstra algo-rithms, which are currently widely used in existing routing protocols (RIP, OSPF), do not always lead to an effective result. Therefore, there is a need to study the possibility of organizing routing in in the railway network of infor-mation and telecommunication system (ITS) using the methods of artificial intelligence. Methodology. On the basis of the simulation model created in the OPNET modeling system a fragment of the ITS railway network was considered and the following samples were formed: training, testing, and control one. For modeling a neural-fuzzy network (hybrid system) in the the MatLAB system the following parameters are input: packet length (three term sets), traffic intensity (five term sets), and the number of intermediate routers that make up the route (four term sets). As the resulting characteristic, the time spent by the packet in the routers along its route in the ITS network (four term sets) was taken. On the basis of a certain time of packet residence in the routers and queue delays on the routers making up different paths (with the same number of the routers) the optimal route was determined. Findings. For the railway ITS fragment under consideration, a forecast was made of the packet residence time in the routers along its route based on the neural-fuzzy network created in the MatLAB system. The authors conducted the study of the average error of the neural-fuzzy network`s training with various membership functions and according to the differ-ent methods of training optimization. It was found that the smallest value of the average learning error is provided by the neuro-fuzzy network configuration 3–12–60–60–1 when using the symmetric Gaussian membership function according to the hybrid optimization method. Originality. According to the RIP and OSPF scenarios, the following characteristics were obtained on the simulation model created in the OPNET simulation system: average server load, average packet processing time by the router, average waiting time for packets in the queue, average number of lost packets, and network convergence time. It was determined that the best results are achieved by the simulation net-work model according to the OSPF scenario. The proposed integrated routing system in the ITS network of railway transport, which is based on the neural-fuzzy networks created, determines the optimal route in the network faster than the existing OSPF routing protocol. Practical value. An integrated routing system in the ITS system of railway transport will make it possible to determine the optimal route in the network with the same number of the routers that make up the packet path in real time.

(Dnipro National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. Lazaryan, Dnipro, 2020) Pakhomova, Victoria M.; Nazarova, Diana I.
ENG: Purpose. In general, today wireless networks are widely used as an alternative to wired, allowing you to connect multiple devices, both among themselves in the local and global Internet. However, at the present stage in Ukraine there is no widespread use of a wireless network at rail transport, therefore it is advisable to conduct research on the deployment of such a network, in particular, at a marshalling yard. Methodology. Using LocBS-BeeCol program model written in Python according to the bee colony algorithm the optimal number of base stations (BS) of the wireless network and their location at the marshalling yards was determined, as well as research on the bee algorithm parameters was conducted. Input data of the LocBS-BeeCol model are as follows: marshalling yard parameters (area, number of clients that need to be connected to base stations); wireless network parameters (base station coverage radius, maximum number of clients for one base station); parameters of the bee colony algorithm (number of scout bees, number of attempts to find the optimal solution using one bee). Findings. For marshalling yards of various capacities (small, medium and high), the optimal number of base stations of the wireless network was obtained with restrictions on the coverage radius of the base station and the number of clients connected to it. Thus, for example, to connect 300 clients at medium-sized marshalling yards with an area of 2500x500 m2, 93 base stations with a coverage radius of 50 m are needed. Originality. The quality of the obtained solutions significantly depends on the choice of the bee colony algorithm parameters. A study of the base stations number of the wireless network and search time for finding the optimal solution for different number of bees and the number of attempts to find the op-timal solution using the bee for marshalling yards of various capacities was carried out. It was determined that an increase in the number of bees (from 10 to 50) and the number of attempts to find the optimal solution by a bee (from 10 to 50) improves the quality of the optimal solution (decrease in the number of base stations by an average of 6.5% and 9.3%), respectively. In addition, increase in the bee number (from 10 to 50) reduces the search time for the optimal solution by bees by an average of 1.8 times, while increase in the number of attempts to find the optimal solution by a bee (from 10 to 50) will increase search time for the optimal solution on average 2.14 times. Practical value. An algorithm and its software implementation have been developed, which make it possible to determine the required number of base stations and their location when deploying a wireless network at a marshalling yards. For marshalling yards with high capacity, when the coverage radius of the base station is doubled (from 50 to 100 m), their number decreases by about half (from 136 to 64), while the time for finding the optimal solution by bees increases by 2.5 times (from 8.4 to 20.6 s).

(ProConference in conjunction with KindleDP Seattle, Washington, USA, 2024) Pakhomova, Victoria M.; Govorukha, Yegor
ENG: As a research method, ANFIS configurations 4-5-12-81-81-1 were used, where 4 is the number of input neurons; 5 – total number of layers; 12 – the number of neurons of the first hidden layer; 81 – the number of neurons of the second hidden layer; 81 – the number of neurons of the third hidden layer; 1 – the number of resultant neurons created using the Fuzzy Logic Toolbox of the MatLAB system, the resulting characteristic is the degree of confidence that the DoS attack occurred at the following terms: low; medium; high. Using the open database of NSL-KDD network traffic parameters, a study of the number of terms of input neurons on the created ANFIS1 (three terms each) and ANFIS2 (two terms each) was carried out with the Gaussian function of neuronal membership on samples of different lengths (100, 200 and 300 examples) using different methods of training optimization (Backpropa and Hybrid). It was determined that the smallest values of errors of the first and second kind were three terms for input neurons on the generated ANFIS1 under the Hybrid method.
