Abstract
In this chapter, we present a comparative study on the performance of Neural Network training algorithms towards the goal of developing an intelligent system that can classify, in real-time, the behavior of control systems. An investigation on the performance of five neural network training algorithms: Levenberg–Marquardt, Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno (BFGS) Quasi–Newton, Resilient Backpropagation, Scaled Conjugate Gradient, and Gradient Descent with Momentum and Adaptive Learning Rate, in classifying 30,000 records of simulated operational data on a typical industrial control system is conducted. The comparisons are made on four neural network system metrics: network error performance, success rate, run time, and number of epochs (iterations). The results are tabulated and analyzed. The chapter concludes with perceptive observations and offers avenues for future research extensions. We envision this small scale study would pave the way to the utilization of intelligent analytics as an avenue towards the realization of an enhanced security posture of our nation’s critical infrastructures. Further, this case study on the application of machine learning technology on information security may offer additional forum for academic inquisition.
