Network Security and Intrusion Detection
Abstract
This preliminary research investigates machine learning approaches for detecting IoT network attacks under resource constraints, focusing on distinguishing benign traffic from UDP flood attack traffic. The study evaluates Decision Tree, Logistic Regression, and Random Forest classifiers using network traffic data. It also examines the effect of removing the Protocol Type feature and investigates duplicate records and data leakage risks. The results show strong classification performance on the selected dataset. However, the findings should be interpreted cautiously because the evaluation uses traffic from only two source files and does not establish generalization to independent network captures, other attack types, or real edge devices. This work is a preliminary research study and has not been peer reviewed.
This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.

The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.

The results indicate that software engineering work practices are chosen opportunistically, adapted and configured to provide value under the constrains imposed by the startup context.

The perception of the impact of agile methods is predominantly positive, and several challenge areas were discovered, but based on this study, agile methods are here to stay.
