The paper introduces a Cost-Aware Hierarchical Multi-Agent System (HMAS) for ransomware detection and family attribution that adaptively selects analysis modalities to balance accuracy and computational cost. Static analysis is used first, with dynamic and memory modalities added only when confidence is low or specialist agents disagree, guided by a cost model. Experiments show HMAS achieves high accuracy (96.57% binary detection, 0.90 macro‑F1 attribution) while reducing analysis cost by 43.97% and latency, with 56.05% of cases resolved using static evidence alone.

The paper presents a lightweight machine‑learning approach for multi‑class malware detection on resource‑constrained devices. Using a LightGBM classifier with SMOTE oversampling, SOM‑US undersampling, and Genetic‑Algorithm feature selection, the authors achieve 89.1 % accuracy on four malware families and 76 % on 16 individual malware types. A second Random‑Forest model further improves family classification to 91.2 % and individual classification to 78.7 %.
