Enhancing Cryptocurrency Sentiment Analysis with Multimodal Features

As cryptocurrencies gain popularity, the digital asset marketplace becomes increasingly significant. Understanding social media signals offers valuable insights into investor sentiment and market dynamics. Prior research has predominantly focused on text-based platforms such as Twitter. However, video content remains underexplored, despite potentially containing richer emotional and contextual sentiment that is not fully captured by text alone. In this study, we present a multimodal analysis comparing TikTok and Twitter sentiment, using large language models to extract insights from both video and text data. We investigate the dynamic dependencies and spillover effects between social media sentiment and cryptocurrency market indicators. Our results reveal that TikTok's video-based sentiment significantly influences speculative assets and short-term market trends, while Twitter's text-based sentiment aligns more closely with long-term dynamics. Notably, the integration of cross-platform sentiment signals improves forecasting accuracy by up to 20%.

Fuzzy Logic-based Robust Failure Handling Mechanism for Fog Computing

Fog computing is an emerging computing paradigm which is mainly suitable for time-sensitive and real-time Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Academia and industries are focusing on the exploration of various aspects of Fog computing for market adoption. The key idea of the Fog computing paradigm is to use idle computation resources of various handheld, mobile, stationery and network devices around us, to serve the application requests in the Fog-IoT environment. The devices in the Fog environment are autonomous and not exclusively dedicated to Fog application processing. Due to that, the probability of device failure in the Fog environment is high compared with other distributed computing paradigms. Solving failure issues in Fog is crucial because successful application execution can only be ensured if failure can be handled carefully. To handle failure, there are several techniques available in the literature, such as checkpointing and task migration, each of which works well in cloud based enterprise applications that mostly deals with static or transactional data. These failure handling methods are not applicable to highly dynamic Fog environment. In contrast, this work focuses on solving the problem of managing application failure in the Fog environment by proposing a composite solution (combining fuzzy logic-based task checkpointing and task migration techniques with task replication) for failure handling and generating a robust schedule. We evaluated the proposed methods using real failure traces in terms of application execution time, delay and cost. Average delay and total processing time improved by 56% and 48% respectively, on an average for the proposed solution, compared with the existing failure handling approaches.

Fog Device-as-a-Service (FDaaS): A Framework for Service Deployment in Public Fog Environments

Meeting the requirements of future services with time sensitivity and handling sudden load spikes of the services in Fog computing environments are challenging tasks due to the lack of publicly available Fog nodes and their characteristics. Researchers have assumed that the traditional autoscaling techniques, with lightweight virtualisation technology (containers), can be used to provide autoscaling features in Fog computing environments, few researchers have built the platform by exploiting the default autoscaling techniques of the containerisation orchestration tools or systems. However, the adoption of these techniques alone, in a publicly available Fog infrastructure, does not guarantee Quality of Service (QoS) due to the heterogeneity of Fog devices and their characteristics, such as frequent resource changes and high mobility. To tackle this challenge, in this work we developed a Fog as a Service (FaaS) framework that can create, configure and manage the containers which are running on the Fog devices to deploy services. This work presents the key techniques and algorithms which are responsible for handling sudden load spikes of the services to meet the QoS of the application. This work provides an evaluation by comparing it with existing techniques under real scenarios. The experiment results show that our proposed approach maximises the satisfied service requests by an average of 1.9 times in different scenarios.

Defending SDN against packet injection attacks using deep learning

The (logically) centralised architecture of the software-defined networks makes them an easy target for packet injection attacks. In these attacks, the attacker injects malicious packets into the SDN network to affect the services and performance of the SDN controller and overflow the capacity of the SDN switches. Such attacks have been shown to ultimately stop the network functioning in real-time, leading to network breakdowns. There have been significant works on detecting and defending against similar DoS attacks in non-SDN networks, but detection and protection techniques for SDN against packet injection attacks are still in their infancy. Furthermore, many of the proposed solutions have been shown to be easily by-passed by simple modifications to the attacking packets or by altering the attacking profile. In this paper, we develop novel Graph Convolutional Neural Network models and algorithms for grouping network nodes/users into security classes by learning from network data. We start with two simple classes - nodes that engage in suspicious packet injection attacks and nodes that are not. From these classes, we then partition the network into separate segments with different security policies using distributed Ryu controllers in an SDN network. We show in experiments on an emulated SDN that our detection solution outperforms alternative approaches with above 99\% detection accuracy on various types (both old and new) of injection attacks. More importantly, our mitigation solution maintains continuous functions of non-compromised nodes while isolating compromised/suspicious nodes in real-time. All code and data are publicly available for reproducibility of our results.
