SIMULATION OF ADVERSARIAL UAV

Course:  MSIT 5270 – Portfolio Activity Abstract Firewalls remain foundational in cybersecurity, serving as perimeter defenses and policy enforcement points across enterprise networks, cloud systems, and cyber-physical infrastructures. This paper presents a reflective yet academically structured analysis of firewall technologies, integrating scholarly literature, practical experience, and architectural models relevant to AI-driven cybersecurity and aerospace mission-critical

Abstract The convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) is transforming the technological landscape of national resilience and digital sovereignty. Across BRICS nations, AI-enabled infrastructures now underpin energy grids, defense systems, and financial platforms, yet their interconnectivity also magnifies exposure to cascading cyber-physical threats. This study explores AI’s dual role as both a protector and a potential disruptor within the

Abstract Emotional intelligence (EI) has become a critical competency in modern project management due to its influence on communication, collaboration, and overall team effectiveness. Drawing on Bailey’s (2015) article Emotional Intelligence Predicts Job Performance , this paper examines how EI traits such as empathy, self-awareness, relationship management, and communication shape team dynamics and project outcomes. The analysis explores strategies for integrating EI into t

Abstract Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) plays a pivotal role in cybersecurity by enabling analysts to gather, correlate, and interpret publicly available information during digital investigations. This study examines the usefulness of SpiderFoot, a free automated OSINT tool, and develops an OSINT framework tailored to cybersecurity analysis. Using SpiderFoot’s modular scanning capabilities, the study constructs an integrated framework consisting of target enumeration, domai

Abstract The Domain Name System (DNS) is a foundational component of Internet operations, yet its openness and distributed architecture make it a significant attack vector. Threat actors increasingly target DNS through cache poisoning, DNS hijacking, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, and DNS tunneling to evade monitoring or exfiltrate data. This discussion analyzes four prevalent DNS risks, drawing from current cybersecurity literature and emerging trends in cyber

Background Overview  The emergence of immersive virtual worlds such as Facebook Horizon signals a major shift toward the metaverse, where work, education, and social interaction may increasingly take place in persistent 3D environments (Takahashi, 2020). This paper analyzes how a VR-based metaverse would transform one core aspect of daily life: schooling. Drawing on recent VR and HCI literature, the study evaluates how VR classrooms enhance engagement, improve spatial learnin

Abstract We present a federated anomaly-detection pipeline for hybrid AC/DC electric-vehicle (EV) environments that trains models on vehicles and chargers, exchanging only privacy-preserving updates. Edge models fuse electrical telemetry (e.g., DC-link voltage/current dynamics and converter temperature) with network-integrity indicators; a secure-aggregation service coordinates global updates. In a co-simulation linking MATLAB/Simulink power models with TensorFlow Federated,

Abstract Academic journals have long been the backbone of scientific communication, offering students and researchers a platform to share discoveries, debate ideas, and build knowledge. As science and technology evolve rapidly, so do the needs of those who rely on these journals. For students and multi-disciplinary researchers working across fields such as artificial intelligence, data science, cyber-physical systems, aviation safety, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and med
