Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, along with the rapid evolution of intelligence and informatization, sensors have begun to play an important role in industrial development. Multi-sensor information fusion is the integration of multiple sensor systems, which can collect sensor signals that characterize the state of mechanical equipment and diagnose or predict different target states through advanced signal analysis methods. Additionally, manufacturing-process monitoring and control based on multi-sensor information fusion have become research hotspots in academia and industry to ensure the reliability of component quality and the repeatability of manufacturing.

This Special Issue therefore aims to put together original research and review articles regarding recent advancements, technologies, solutions, applications, and new challenges in the field of multi-sensor information fusion.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

  • Multi-sensor information fusion;
  • Advanced signal analysis and machine learning methods;
  • Intelligent fault diagnosis based on deep learning and digital twins;
  • Manufacturing process monitoring and control;
  • Data-driven smart manufacturing.

Noise (un-important) alerts are generally considered a major challenge in intrusion detection systems/sensors because they require more analysts to review and may cause disruption to systems that are shut down to avoid the consequences of a compromise. However, in real-world situations, many alerts could be raised for automatic tasks being completed by some software or regular tasks by users doing their daily job. This paper proposes an approach to reduce the number of noise alerts, assuming that frequent long-term security alerts can be considered noise if their frequency is meeting some criteria, such as the minimum occurrence ratio. We prove that to effectively reduce the level of noise alerts in Network Detection and Response (NDR) systems, we are able to use simpler algorithms; sometimes, the answer is in simpler solutions, and not always in complex solutions. We study data from a real customer of a Danish NDR solution and propose an Apriori-based approach to find frequent noisy alerts. Our comparison of the detected noise before and after applying our solution shows high performance in reducing noise alerts for most of the alert types for a real customer. Our experiments show that our method can filter more than 40% of the alerts by setting the minimum occurrences to 70%. Moreover, our results show that we were able to filter out more than 90% for some alert categories. Full article
