Abstract

Model checking and verification using Kripke structures and computational tree logic* (CTL*) use abstractions from the process to create the state-transition graphs that verify the model behavior. This scheme of profiling the behavior of a process means that the depth of the model behavior that can be synthesized correlates with the level of the model abstraction. Therefore, for complex processes, this approach does not produce a fine-grained behavioral model and does not capture the execution time interactions amongst processes, hardware, and the kernel because of state explosion problems. Hence, in this paper, we introduce DeepAnom: an ensemble deep framework for anomaly detection in system processes. DeepAnom targets anomalies in both time-driven and event-driven processes. We test the model with dataset generated from autonomous aerial vehicle application, and the results confirm our hypothesis that DeepAnom presents a deeper view of the system processes and can therefore capture anomalies of various scenarios.
