Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is dedicated to exploring the convergence of platform technologies across diverse disciplines and industries. It seeks to highlight innovations that advance connectivity, functionality, and integration, bridging the gap between theoretical research and practical applications.

We invite authors to submit papers that address any aspect of platform technology, including, but not limited to, computing architectures, smart systems, network solutions, and security frameworks. Contributions that demonstrate novel approaches and offer insights into future challenges and opportunities in platform technologies are particularly welcome.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to assemble a compendium of cutting-edge research that showcases how platform technologies are reshaping the landscape of digital interaction and service delivery. It aims to foster an understanding of these technologies' pivotal roles and to encourage the exploration of potential transformative impacts in various sectors.

By integrating both conference proceedings and external submissions, this Special Issue will enrich the existing dialogue within the technology community. It will serve to expand on the discussions initiated at the 2024 International Conference on Platform Technology and Service (PlatCon-24), providing a broader, more comprehensive view that bridges current research with emerging trends.

The increasing importance of water quality management in water supply systems requires the development of efficient methodologies for the early detection of water quality incidents related to the detection of anomalies in water quality parameters. Research aims to analyze real-time water quality data (pH, turbidity, electrical conductivity, temperature, and chlorine), perform anomaly detection across parameters, and conduct a comprehensive investigation of water quality incidents that correlate with detected anomalies in water supply systems. This study can contribute to the development of an early detection and response system related to water quality incidents in water supply systems. Future work will focus on enhancing the application of systems for early detection of water quality incidents by expanding the data, developing anomaly detection methods by applying machine learning techniques, and figuring out the correlations between anomalies and water quality incidents.

This paper presents a comparative analysis of several decision models for detecting Structured Query Language (SQL) injection attacks, which remain one of the most prevalent and serious security threats to web applications. SQL injection enables attackers to exploit databases, gain unauthorized access, and manipulate data. Traditional detection methods often struggle due to the constantly evolving nature of these attacks, the increasing complexity of modern web applications, and the lack of transparency in the decision-making processes of machine learning models. To address these challenges, we evaluated the performance of various models, including decision tree, random forest, XGBoost, AdaBoost, Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (GBDT), and Histogram Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (HGBDT), using a comprehensive SQL injection dataset. The primary motivation behind our approach is to leverage the strengths of ensemble learning and boosting techniques to enhance detection accuracy and robustness against SQL injection attacks. By systematically comparing these models, we aim to identify the most effective algorithms for SQL injection detection systems. Our experiments show that decision tree, random forest, and AdaBoost achieved the highest performance, with an accuracy of 99.50% and an F1 score of 99.33%. Additionally, we applied SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAPs) and Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations (LIMEs) for local explainability, illustrating how each model classifies normal and attack cases. This transparency enhances the trustworthiness of our approach to detecting SQL injection attacks. These findings highlight the potential of ensemble methods to provide reliable and efficient solutions for detecting SQL injection attacks, thereby improving the security of web applications.
