Queuing-Based Modeling and Optimization of Computational Capacity for Malicious Data Detection (Paperback)

Paperback. The increasing volume and complexity of digital data have created significant challenges for cybersecurity systems that must identify malicious information efficiently and reliably. Queuing-Based Modeling and Optimization of Computational Capacity for Malicious Data Detection provides a focused technical examination of queuing theory, computational capacity, malicious data detection, system performance, resource allocation, and optimization. The book connects cybersecurity, computer systems, operations research, mathematical modeling, and performance engineering within an interdisciplinary framework.The book introduces the fundamental concepts of queuing systems and explains their relevance to computational environments in which incoming data, requests, or security-analysis tasks must be processed by limited computational resources. When data arrive faster than available processing capacity, queues can develop and contribute to increased waiting times, resource utilization, processing delays, and potential system degradation. Modeling these behaviors can help engineers understand and optimize computational resources.A central focus is placed on applying queuing-based modeling to malicious data detection. Cybersecurity systems may receive continuous streams of network traffic, files, events, or other data requiring analysis. Detection systems must process these inputs within available computational and time constraints. The book examines how queuing models can represent the arrival and service processes associated with such security-analysis workloads.The text explores important queuing-system concepts including arrival rates, service rates, queue length, waiting time, system utilization, service capacity, and system stability. These concepts provide a mathematical foundation for evaluating whether computational resources can adequately handle incoming malicious-data detection workloads.Computational capacity optimization is examined as an important component of the overall framework. Detection systems may need to allocate processors, servers, memory, or other computational resources according to changing workloads. Optimization approaches can help determine suitable capacity levels while considering competing requirements such as processing speed, resource utilization, waiting time, and operational cost.The book further considers the relationship between malicious-data detection and computational workload. Security analysis can involve multiple stages, including data ingestion, preprocessing, feature extraction, classification, and threat assessment. Each stage may contribute to the overall processing demand. Modeling these stages as service processes provides a framework for analyzing potential bottlenecks and determining where additional capacity may be beneficial.Performance analysis is another important theme. Queuing-based models can provide analytical measures for evaluating system behavior under different workload conditions. Changes in arrival rates or service capacity can influence queue stability and response time. The book examines these relationships to support systematic evaluation of computational resources used for security detection.
