With the enrichment of the entity information in the real world, many networks with attributed nodes are proposed and studied widely. Community detection in these attributed networks is an essential task that aims to find groups where the intra-nodes are much more densely connected than the inter-nodes. However, many existing community detection methods in attributed networks do not distinguish overlapping communities from non-overlapping communities when designing algorithms. In this paper, we propose a novel and accurate algorithm called Node-similarity-based Multi-Label Propagation Algorithm (NMLPA) for detecting overlapping communities in attributed networks. NMLPA first calculates the similarity between nodes and then propagates multiple labels based on the network structure and the node similarity. Moreover, NMLPA uses a pruning strategy to keep the number of labels per node within a suitable range. Extensive experiments conducted on both synthetic and real-world networks show that our new method significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods. Full article

The large amount of programmable logic controller (PLC) sensing data has rapidly increased in the manufacturing environment. Therefore, a large data store is necessary for Big Data platforms. In this paper, we propose a Hadoop ecosystem for the support of many features in the manufacturing industry. In this ecosystem, Apache Hadoop and HBase are used as Big Data storage and handle large scale data. In addition, Apache Kafka is used as a data streaming pipeline which contains many configurations and properties that are used to make a better-designed environment and a reliable system, such as Kafka offset and partition, which is used for program scaling purposes. Moreover, Apache Spark closely works with Kafka consumers to create a real-time processing and analysis of the data. Meanwhile, data security is applied in the data transmission phase between the Kafka producers and consumers. Public-key cryptography is performed as a security method which contains public and private keys. Additionally, the public-key is located in the Kafka producer, and the private-key is stored in the Kafka consumer. The integration of these above technologies will enhance the performance and accuracy of data storing, processing, and securing in the manufacturing environment. Full article
