Multi-Stage Prompting for Next Best Agent Recommendations in Adaptive Workflows

Traditional business processes such as loan processing, order processing, or procurement have a series of steps that are pre-defined at design and executed by enterprise systems. Recent advancements in new-age businesses, however, focus on having adaptive and ad-hoc processes by stitching together a set of functions or steps enabled through autonomous agents. Further, to enable business users to execute a flexible set of steps, there have been works on providing a conversational interface to interact and execute automation. Often, it is necessary to guide the user through the set of possible steps in the process (or workflow). Existing work on recommending the next agent to run relies on historical data. However, with changing workflows and new automation constantly getting added, it is important to provide recommendations without historical data. Additionally, hand-crafted recommendation rules do not scale. The adaptive workflow being a combination of structured and unstructured information, makes it harder to mine. Hence, in this work, we leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) to combine process knowledge with the meta-data of agents to discover NBAs specifically at cold-start. We propose a multi-stage approach that uses existing process knowledge and agent meta-data information to prompt LLM and recommend meaningful next best agent (NBA) based on user utterances.

Deep learning enabled intrusion detection system for Industrial IOT environment

The prevalence of security vulnerabilities in Internet of Things (IoT) applications poses a serious threat to enterprise systems, necessitating sophisticated and reliable defense solutions to counter emerging and evolving threats. For the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), stakeholders require trustworthy and sustainable systems that can prevent the loss of human life during critical operations. The impact of multi-variant persistent and sophisticated bot attacks on connected IIoTs is potentially catastrophic, and their detection presents a highly complex and critical challenge. Therefore, there is a pressing need for efficient and timely detection of IIoT botnet attacks. This research paper proposes a robust deep learning model named AttackNet for the detection and classification of different botnet attacks in IIoT based on adaptive based CNN-GRU model. The model is extensively evaluated using the latest dataset and standard performance evaluation metrics, demonstrating its capacity to protect IIoT networks against sophisticated cyber-attacks with a testing accuracy of 99.75%, a loss of 0.0063, precision and recall score of 99.75% and 99.74% respectively. Our proposed model demonstrates superior accuracy, particularly within the N_BaIoT dataset. It achieves an outstanding accuracy of 99.75% across ten classes, surpassing state-of-the-art techniques by a substantial margin ranging from 3.2% to 16.07%. Moreover, the proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art anomaly detection systems in IIoT based on a real-time IoT device dataset in terms of detecting and classifying botnet attacks accurately.

Autonomous Question and Answer System Based on ChatGPT With Large Language Model

Chat-GPT has become very popular in recent years. But there is a problem. Chat-GPT does not ask questions to the users. Therefore, Chat-GPT looks like a machine, not a human. However, users sometimes do not want a single answer. They want real things like food, cars, products, etc. Therefore, our system will ask users questions several times until they get what they really want. In this project, we not only resort to Chat-GPT3.5 to find questions, but also resort to traditional programming skills or databases to solve these problems. OpenAI's Chat-GPT3.5 will play the main role in this project. Furthermore, Java and Spring-Boot will be used in this project. These are mature frameworks for enterprise systems(de Oliveira, C. E., Turnquist, G. L., & Antonov, A., 2018). Finally, the MySQL database is used in this project. It provides comprehensive and reliable SQL database services. The data stored in MySQL instances can generate very large data sets(bin Uzayr, S., 2022). Python3 and some machine learning frameworks such as NumPy, Pandas, TensorFlow and PyTorch are used in this project to analyze user behavior(Liu, Y. H., 2020). In the future, the dataset can be integrated into webtext2 as a basic data element to connect the model training.

The mechanism of enterprise credit guarantee risk contagion considering ESG

We establish an equation to reflect the relationship between ESG and the infection probability of enterprise system, and then we construct an interaction model between ESG and enterprise credit guarantee risk contagion. Additionally, based on the actual data, the simulation and the sensitivity analysis of important parameters are performed. The study found that ESG can effectively control the enterprise credit guarantee risk contagion. In addition, the following measures are of great significance to control the contagion, including refining the ESG rating, incorporating indicators related to enterprise credit into the ESG evaluation system, improving the supervision mechanism, enhancing the ability of enterprises to resist risk, giving appropriate external intervention guidance, completing the enterprise guarantee system and improving the market exit mechanism. Furthermore, the greater the impact of ESG on the infection probability of enterprise system, the greater the sensitivity of transmission rate and cure rate. Hence, the measures should be taken in time to reduce the transmission rate and raise the cure rate while improving the influence of ESG.

Research on the Evolution Path of Supply Chain Financing for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises

Information asymmetry is the main reason why it is difficult and expensive for small and medium-sized enterprises to obtain financing. This paper uses the system dynamics method to construct an evolution model of the supply chain financing system of small and medium-sized enterprises, simulates the dynamic changes of the financing amount of the supply chain financing system of small and medium-sized enterprises, and explores the relationship between various influencing factors and their effects on the financing amount. The research shows that the supply chain financing of SMEs is a complex and dynamic system, and the overall financing amount has a significant cumulative effect, and is more sensitive to the solvency of SMEs, the relationship between core enterprises and financial institutions, government support, and the degree of supply chain information sharing. In order to alleviate the financing difficulties of small and medium-sized enterprises, the government should increase support for the supply chain financing of small and medium-sized enterprises, banks and other financial institutions should strengthen the supply chain financing service capabilities of small and medium-sized enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises should pay attention to the improvement and upgrading of internal management, and the main body of the supply chain should strengthen cooperation and communication.

The implementation of a practice-oriented approach in teaching students of technical universities based on the development of a digital twin of the information system of an industrial enterprise

Introduction. In teaching future engineers and mechanics, difficulties arise when they study such disciplines as Theoretical Mechanics and Strength of Materials. As a rule, this is due to the need to consolidate students’ acquired theoretical knowledge. However, carrying out a sufficient number of strength tests of products is associated with significant financial costs, so it is often economically expensive to obtain results by implementing physical experiments, and in some cases it is simply impossible. In this regard, for teaching it is advisable to use accurate distributed dynamic mathematical and software models of objects, that is, digital twins. Materials and methods. As a prototype of a digital twin, an information system of an industrial enterprise was considered, designed to monitor the stress-strain state of a beam using strain gauge data. 198 students and 8 teachers from the Faculty of Mechanics and Technology and the Faculty of Automation and Computer Engineering of the Novosibirsk State Technical University (Russian Federation) took part in testing the methodology. Methods of mathematical statistics: Pearson's chi-squared test, survey and correlation analysis. Results. As a result of the introduction of teaching methods based on the use of a digital twin, situations were created that required students to critically analyze and include metacognitive skills. The implementation of practice-oriented training when working with a digital twin of an information system of an industrial enterprise has an impact on the academic performance of students (χ2 = 4.08; p < 0.05) and allows students to firmly consolidate the acquired theoretical knowledge and practical skills, which will subsequently allow the formation of sustainable professional competencies. Scientific novelty. The study revealed that learning using a digital twin contributes to a more controlled passage of the curriculum by students, develops qualities such as self-control and self-discipline, and stimulates cognitive interest in a specific academic discipline and the educational process in general. Practical relevance. The main advantage of introducing a digital twin of an industrial enterprise information system into the learning process is the effectiveness of this approach in terms of consolidating and developing practical skills among students. In addition, teaching using digital twins is particularly useful for preparation activities in high-risk industries, where practice at real-life facilities is impossible or difficult.
