Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled cyber resilience is becoming increasingly important for infrastructure management, including critical information management for facilities, land transport, buildings etc. While cyberattacks remain one of the key concerns behind the fast development of smart cities, new AI technologies such as smart blockchain provide new solutions to build a more cyber-resilient management plan for large-scale infrastructure facilities. The increased adoption of artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled cyber-resilience strategies addresses cybersecurity issues and creates a culture of cyber-risk awareness across infrastructure facilities.

This Special Issue intends to provide an international forum for researchers to showcase up-to-date results on AI, machine learning and cybersecurity technologies in the field of sensors. Recent progresses and future directions of AI in cyber-resilience applications will be investigated. This Special Issue also intends to bring together great efforts in computer science and various engineering fields toward finding common and cross-discipline research topics for AI-enabled cyber-resilient infrastructure management . This Special Issue will include, but not be limited to, the following topics:

  • Cybersecurity-resilient facility management strategy;
  • AI-based computer vision topics on cybersecurity-resilient infrastructure management;
  • Big data research in cybersecurity resilient infrastructure management;
  • IoT solutions for cybersecurity-resilient infrastructure management;
  • Cyber-physics systems with AI and machine learning algorithms;
  • Cybersecurity-resilient devices and instruments for smart building/city design;
  • Smart blockchain applications in smart city development;
  • Security and privacy in intelligent IoT systems;
  • Building information modeling (BIM) with cybersecurity resilience;
  • Behavior and cognitive informatics with cybersecurity resilience.
  • AI solutions on cybersecurity and trust system development;
  • Cyber-risk awareness systems development.

With the continuous promotion of “smart cities” worldwide, the approach to be used in combining smart cities with modern advanced technologies (Internet of Things, cloud computing, artificial intelligence) has become a hot topic. However, due to the non-stationary nature of environmental sound and the interference of urban noise, it is challenging to fully extract features from the model with a single input and achieve ideal classification results, even with deep learning methods. To improve the recognition accuracy of ESC (environmental sound classification), we propose a dual-branch residual network (dual-resnet) based on feature fusion. Furthermore, in terms of data pre-processing, a loop-padding method is proposed to patch shorter data, enabling it to obtain more useful information. At the same time, in order to prevent the occurrence of overfitting, we use the time-frequency data enhancement method to expand the dataset. After uniform pre-processing of all the original audio, the dual-branch residual network automatically extracts the frequency domain features of the log-Mel spectrogram and log-spectrogram. Then, the two different audio features are fused to make the representation of the audio features more comprehensive. The experimental results show that compared with other models, the classification accuracy of the UrbanSound8k dataset has been improved to different degrees. Full article
