Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Telecommunication systems (TCS) are playing a very important role in development of production and the economy. They are characterized by length, high-speed messaging, great branching, a high diversity of used elements, and the heterogeneity of processed information flows. As a result, the potential to implement management functions in TCS has attracted the attention of a large number of scientific researchers. Among these management functions, the functions of decision-making and planning are of the greatest complexity and higher scientific importance.

On the one hand, the increased requirements on throughput, mobility, resilience, security, and safety are imposed to management systems in modern TCS. On the other hand, the implementation of the decision-making and planning functions in modern TCS is carried out in the conditions of fuzzy and incomplete initial data, the existence of various external and internal influences, and the need to process big arrays of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data in a limited time.

In this context, the proposed Special Issue will have to present unpublished theoretical and applied results related to the development of new approaches, models, methods, algorithms, software, and hardware for implementing the functions of decision-making and planning in modern TCS.

These results will concern a rather wide range of issues affecting the application of advanced and innovative methods of data processing, resilience, security, safety, and throughput. These results will address a fairly wide range of issues affecting the application of advanced and innovative methods for decision-making and planning in TCS.

The paper suggests a method of early detection of cyber-attacks by using DDoS attacks as an example) using the method of extreme filtering in a mode close real time. The process of decomposition of the total signal (additive superposition of attacking and legitimate effects) and its decomposition using the method of extreme filtering is simulated. A profile model of a stochastic network is proposed. This allows to specify the influence of the intruder on the network using probabilistic-time characteristics. Experimental evaluation of metrics characterizing the cyber-attack is given. It is demonstrated how obtained values of metrics confirm the process of attack preparation, for instance the large-scaled telecommunication network, which includes the proposed method for early detection of attacks, has a recovery time of no more than 9 s, and the parameters of quality of service remain in an acceptable range.

Abstract
Crossroads are the main traffic jam generators in densely populated cities. Unmanned vehicles and intelligent transportation systems can significantly reduce congestion and improve road safety by eliminating the main cause of traffic accidents—the human factor.

Crossroads are the main traffic jam generators in densely populated cities. Unmanned vehicles and intelligent transportation systems can significantly reduce congestion and improve road safety by eliminating the main cause of traffic accidents—the human factor. However, full confidence in their safety is necessary. This paper addresses the contextual data integrity problem, when an unmanned autonomous vehicle transmits incorrect data due to technical problems, or malicious attacks. We propose an approach based on trust and reputation that allows detecting vehicles transmitting bogus data. To verify the feasibility of the approach on practice, we conducted both software and physical simulations using the model of intersection and unmanned autonomous vehicle models. The simulation results show that the approach applied allows detecting vehicles with bogus data and excluding them from the group, thus increasing the safety of the intersection traversal by other vehicles.
