A Hybrid Optimization Framework for Emergency Resource Allocation in Low-Resource Settings: Application to Burkina Faso
Tougma Manegaouindé Roland, Zerbo Boureima, Guel Désiré, Traore Salah Idriss Seif, Napon Salifou
The overuse of hospitals in Burkina Faso, especially during emergencies, is largely due to chronic underfunding and weak coordination among health centers. These challenges create critical bottlenecks in emergency care, where resources are limited and demand is often unpredictable. Motivated by the need for improved management of emergency pat(...)

Network Optimization for Data Flow Control in a Security-Challenged Country: The Case of Burkina Faso
Yamba Dabone, Pengwendé Zongo & Tounwendyam Frédéric Ouedraogo
The Internet plays a crucial role in everything these days—economic development, education, and civic engagement—but it is also exploited by cybercriminals and terrorists, particularly via propaganda on social networks. In Burkina, where the terrorist threat has been present since 2016, cyber-activists sometimes relay unverified information, w(...)

Deep Learning Approach for Optimized DDoS Detection in SDN
Rolph Abraham Yao, Ferdinand Tonguim Guinko
The rise of Software-Defined Network (SDN) offers great flexibility in network infrastructure management. However, this flexibility also introduces critical security challenges, in particular vulnerability to Distributed Denial of Service attacks (DDoS). Traditional detection methods are often ineffective in the face of evolving attack strateg(...)

Improving Web User Tracking Systems Through Browser Fingerprinting
Goya Alama Désiré Dao, Abdoul Kader Kaboré, Aminata Sabané, Rodrique Kafando, Tegawendé F. Bissyandé
Browser fingerprinting is a technique that involves collecting unique information from a user’s web browser to create a distinct profile. This method can be used for identification, targeted advertising, or enhancing web security. This article proposes an approach to improve browser fingerprinting for web tracking systems. We developed a JavaS(...)

Optimizing Real-Time Video Analytics for Resource-Constrained Environments
Rodrique Kafando, Aminata Sabané, Tegawendé F. Bissyandé
Developing countries face a growing demand for video analytics, yet often lack sufficient computational resources. This paper addresses this challenge by proposing and evaluating optimization techniques for efficient video stream processing on resource-constrained devices, including edge systems. We introduce and evaluate several techniques, i(...)

Text Mining for Thematic Keyword Extraction: Enriching a French Lexicon on Food Security
Rabiatou Zampaligre, Aminata Sabané, Rodrique Kafando, Abdoul Kader Kaboré, Tegawendé F. Bissyandé
Food security is a major concern in many countries in West Africa, particularly Burkina Faso. Early warning systems for food security and famines rely primarily on numerical data for analysis, while textual data, which is more complex to process, is seldom used. In this paper, we propose a textual analysis approach using text mining techniques(...)

Text-to-OWL: Automated Ontology Construction for Tuberculosis Treatment Recommendation Using Generative AI
Zonabo Ouédraogo, Lydie Simone Tapsoba, Aminata Sabané, Rodrique Kafando, Abdoul Kader Kaboré, Tegawendé F. Bissyandé
This paper presents an automated approach for building ontologies to improve treatment recommendations for tuberculosis (TB), in particular multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) cases in Burkina Faso, using generative language models such as GPT-3. The aim is to facilitate the personalization of treatments according to the patient profile(...)

Detection of Malicious Android Applications Based on Verification of Indicators of Compromise and Machine Learning Techniques
Theodore Dama, Aminata Sabané, Abdoul Kader Kaboré, Tegawendé F. Bissyandé
Android is the operating system with the largest share of the global smartphone market. The system’s popularity makes it an attractive target for malware because of its users’ data. Despite the security measures used by Google and certain researchers to combat malicious applications, some still slip through the net. In this article, we propose(...)

5G-NR PUSCH Receiver Optimization in Context of Intra/Inter Cell Interference
Désiré Guel, Flavien Hervé Somda, P. Justin Kouraogo, Boureima Zerbo
As 5G New Radio (5G-NR) networks evolve, managing intracell and inter-cell interference, especially during uplink transmissions on the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) becomes increasingly challenging. This paper presents a novel approach to optimizing User Equipment (UE) and cell configuration parameters to mitigate interference and imp(...)

DamFlow: Preventing a Flood of Irrelevant Data Flows in Android Apps
Marco Alecci, Jordan Samhi, Marc Miltenberger, Steven Arzt, Tegawendé F. Bissyandé, Jacques Klein
State-of-the-art tools like FlowDroid have been proposed to detect data leaks in Android apps, but two main challenges persist: ① false alarms and ② undetected data leaks. One contributing factor to these challenges is that a tool such as FlowDroid relies on predefined lists of privacy-sensitive source and sink API methods. Generating such lis(...)

Performance Analysis of Floodlight, ONOS, OpenDaylight and Ryu Controllers in Software-Defined Network
Rolph Abraham Yao, Ferdinand Tonguim Guinko
Software-defined networking (SDN) is a growing concept that allows the separation of the control layer from the data layer, making the network programmable, and having a centralized view and management of the network. The control layer is an important component of the network because it is composed of controllers that play a role in supervisin(...)

Enhancing the security of the MQTT protocol in the Internet of Things using the Syracuse conjecture
OUATTARA Yacouba, COMPAORE Ousmane, OUEDRAOGO Victor, TRAORE Yaya
This article proposes a scientific contribution to strengthen the security of the MQTT protocol in
an IoT environment. MQTT is natively a communication protocol that does not embed any security. Messages are
transmitted in clear text over the network. Being an IoT protocol, MQTT evolves in an environment with limited
resources, where energy(...)
