Abstract: Heart diseases are one of the crucial diseases that may cause fatality in both men and women. About 12 million deaths occur across the world due to heart diseases. With the advancement in information technology, it is possible for the Healthcare industry to store enormous volume of data containing millions of patient’s medical information along with their treatment details. If utilized in an efficient manner, this information helps the doctors to diagnose the diseases in a precise manner. Data mining algorithms are employed to analyse huge data sets and to discover unseen patterns. Data mining plays an essential role in …medical diagnosis. Doctors bank on different computer models which uses data mining algorithms to prefigure different kinds of diseases in patients. So, the need is to design a methodical data mining algorithm that helps for better forecast of diseases. The main goal of this work is to create an ensemble of algorithms which results in better accuracy. The ensemble is constructed by making use of stacking ensemble technique, which comprises of two categorization algorithms namely Naïve Bayes and Artificial Neural Network. The Cleveland heart disease data set acquired from UCI machine learning repository containing 14 attributes and 303 instances is given as input to these algorithms. From our experimental analysis it is evident that the proposed ensemble scheme results in a better accuracy. Show more

Abstract: In the last decade, numerous researches have been focused on Image Super-Resolution (SR); this recreation or improvement model is vital in different research areas. Recently, deep learning algorithm finds useful to advance in the resolution of the medical output. Here, we devise a novel Deep Convolutional Network model along with the optimal learning rate of the Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) intended for Medical Image Super-Resolution (MISR). For getting the optimal values of Deep Learning AlexNet structure, Modified Crow Search (MCS) is utilized, which is mainly depends on the behavior of crow sets. The chosen Alexnet lacks in a sort of …suitable supervision for upgrading execution of the proposed model that effectively aims to overfit. The proposed design, i.e., MISR, named Deep Optimal Convolutional AlexNet (DOCALN), derives the optimal values of learning rates of the ReLU activation function. Based on this optimal deep learning structure, the Low Resolution (LR) medical images can be applied. Experimentation results of our proposed model are compared with variants of Convolution Neural Networks (CNN) concerning different measures such as image quality assessment, SR efficiency analysis, and execution time.

Abstract: As the world is moving towards green energy generation to reduce the pollution by renewable sources such as wind, solar, geothermal and more. These sources are intermittent in nature, to coordinate and control with traditional power generating units a control technique is necessary. This paper mainly focuses on the design of fuzzy based classical controller using a PSO algorithm for optimal controller gains to control the frequency variations in island hybrid power system. The considered mathematical model comprises of a diesel generating model, wind turbine generator and a battery storage system. Fuzzy is an intelligent controller which is designed with …trial and error rules or on the basis of past experience provided by experts or by optimization methods for optimized gains using computational algorithms. To give best solution for these kinds of problems with FLCs traditional controllers are integrated with fuzzy logic. The PSO algorithm is applied to tune the classical controller gains to decrease the frequency deviation of the island power system, during the different load and wind disturbances. The Fuzzy PID classical controller shows the best performance compared with the only fuzzy and Fuzzy-PI controller configurations by illustrating the under shoot, overshoot and settling time and the proposed method is robust for various loading conditions and different wind changes.

Abstract: Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC)’s rapid technological advancements facilitate various computational-intensive applications on smart mobile devices. However, such applications are constrained by limited processing power, energy consumption, and storage capacity of smart mobile devices. To mitigate these issues, computational offloading is found to be the one of the promising techniques as it offloads the execution of computation-intensive applications to cloud resources. In addition, various kinds of cloud services and resourceful servers are available to offload computationally intensive tasks. However, their processing speeds, access delays, computation capability, residual memory and service charges are different which retards their usage, as it becomes time-consuming …and ambiguous for making decisions. To address the aforementioned issues, this paper presents a Fuzzy Simplified Swarm Optimization based cloud Computational Offloading (FSSOCO) algorithm to achieve optimum multisite offloading. Fuzzy logic and simplified swarm optimization are employed for the identification of high powerful nodes and task decomposition respectively. The overall performance of FSSOCO is validated using the Specjvm benchmark suite and compared with the state-of-the-art offloading techniques in terms of the weighted total cost, energy consumption, and processing time.

Abstract: Ensemble pruning has been widely used for enhancing classification ability employing a smaller number of classifiers. Ensemble pruning extracts a part of classifiers with good overall performance to form the final ensemble. Diversity and accuracy of classifiers are of vital importance for a successful ensemble. It is hard for the members in one ensemble to achieve both good diversity and high accuracy, simultaneously, because there is a tradeoff between them. Existing works usually search for the tradeoff in terms of diversity measures, or find it utilizing heuristic algorithms, which cannot gain the exact solution without exhaustive search. To address the …above issue, a novel ensemble pruning method based on information exchange glowworm swarm optimization and complementarity measure, abbreviated EPIECM, is proposed using the combination of information exchange glowworm swarm optimization (IEGSO) and complementarity measure (COM). Firstly, multiple generated classifiers are utilized to construct a pool of learners who perform diversely. Secondly, COM is employed to pre-prune the classifiers with poor comprehensive performance, and the pre-pruned ensemble is formed utilizing the retaining classifiers. Finally, the optimal subset of classifiers is combined from the remaining constituents after pre-pruning with IEGSO. Empirical results on 27 UCI datasets indicate that EPIECM significantly outperforms other techniques. Show more

Abstract: Detection of densely interconnected nodes also called modules or communities in static or dynamic networks has become a key approach to comprehend the topology, functions and organizations of the networks. Over the years, numerous methods have been proposed to detect the accurate community structure in the networks. State-of-the-art approaches only focus on finding non-overlapping and overlapping communities in a network. However, many networks are known to possess a hidden or embedded structure, where communities are recursively grouped into a hierarchical structure. Here, we reinvent such sub-communities within a community, which can be redefined based on nodes similarity. We term those …derived communities as hidden or hierarchical communities. In this work, we present a method called H idden C ommunity based on N eighborhood Similarity C omputation (HCNC ) to uncover undetected groups of communities that embedded within a community. HCNC can detect hidden communities irrespective of density variation within the community. We define a new similarity measure based on the degree of a node and it’s adjacent nodes degree. We evaluate the efficiency of HCNC by comparing it with several well-known community detectors through various real-world and synthetic networks. Results show that HCNC has better performance in comparison to the candidate community detectors concerning various statistical measures. The most intriguing findings of HCNC is that it became the first research work to report the presence of hidden communities in Les Miserables, Karate and Polbooks networks. Show more

Abstract: Due to the wide acceptance of White Blood Cells (WBCs) in disease diagnosis, detection and classification of WBC are hot topic. Existing methodologies have some drawbacks such as significant degree of error, higher accuracy, time bound and higher misclassification rate. A WBCs detection and classification called, Jenks Optimized Logistic Convolutional Neural Network (JO-LCNN) method has proposed. Initally, Eulers Principal Axis is used as a convolution model to obtain a rotation invariant form of image by differentiating the background and RBCs, then eliminating them which leaves only the WBCs. By eliminating the wanton features, inherent features are detected contributing to minimum …misclassification rate. According to above, Jenks Optimization function is used as a pooling model to obtain feature map for lower resolution. Therefore JO-LCNN is used for removing tiny objects in image and complete nuclei. Finally, Multinomial Logistic classifier is used to classify five types of classes by means of loss function and updating weight according to the loss function, therefore classifying with higher accuracy rate. Using LISC database for WBCs with different parameters as classification accuracy, false positive rate and time complexity are performed. Result shows that JO-LCNN, efficiently improves accuracy with less time, misclassification rate than the state-of-art methods. Show more

Abstract: Service Level Agreement (SLA) is an agreement between the service provider and consumer to provide the verifiable quality of services. Using the valuable metrics in SLA, a service consumer could easily evaluate the service provider. Though there are different types of SLA models are available between the consumer and provider, the proposed approach describes the Fuzzy rule base SLA agreement generation among multiple service providers. A negotiation system is designed in this work to collect the different sets of provider services. With their desired quality metrics, a common Fuzzy based SLA report is generated and compared against the existing consumer …requirements. From the analysis of the common agreement report, consumers can easily evaluate the best service with the desired Impact service, cost and Quality. The main advantage of this approach is that it reduces the time consumption of a consumer. Moreover, the best service provider can be selected among multiple providers with the desired QoS parameters. At the same time, the bilateral negotiation is enhanced with the approach of multilateral negotiation to improve the searching time of consumers. Show more

Abstract: Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) is the most growing research area in wireless communication and has been gaining significant attention over recent years due to its role in designing intelligent transportation systems. Wireless multi-hop forwarding in VANETs is challenging since the data has to be relayed as soon as possible through the intermediate vehicles from the source to destination. This paper proposes a modified fuzzy-based greedy routing protocol (MFGR) which is an enhanced version of fuzzy logic-based greedy routing protocol (FLGR). Our proposed protocol applies fuzzy logic for the selection of the next greedy forwarder to forward the data reliably …towards the destination. Five parameters, namely distance, direction, speed, position, and trust have been used to evaluate the node’s stability using fuzzy logic. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed MFGR scheme can achieve the best performance in terms of the highest packet delivery ratio (PDR) and minimizes the average number of hops among all protocols.

Abstract: A robust disruption prediction system is mandatory in a Tokamak control system as the disruption can cause malfunctioning of the plasma-facing components and impair irrecoverable structural damage to the vessel. To mitigate the disruption, in this article, a data-driven based disruption predictor is developed using an ensemble technique. The ensemble algorithm classifies disruptive and non-disruptive discharges in the GOLEM Tokamak system. Ensemble classifiers combine the predictive capacity of several weak learners to produce a single predictive model and are utilized both in supervised and unsupervised learning. The resulting final model reduces the bias, minimizes variance and is unlikely to over-fit …when compared to the individual model from a single algorithm. In this paper, popular ensemble techniques such as Bagging, Boosting, Voting, and Stacking are employed on the time-series Tokamak dataset, which consists of 117 normal and 70 disruptive shots. Stacking ensemble with REPTree (Reduced Error Pruning Tree) as a base learner and Multi-response Linear Regression as meta learner produced better results in comparison to other ensembles. A comparison with the widely employed stand-alone machine learning algorithms and ensemble algorithms are illustrated. The results show the excellent performance of the Stacking model with an F1 score of 0.973. The developed predictive model would be capable of warning the human operator with feedback about the feature(s) causing the disruption. Show more

Abstract: Traceability and food quality are significant challenges in realizing a reliable food supply chain. The reliability of data in supply chains is one of the critical factors. Ensuring transparency, integrity, and availability is the primary requirement for establishing a proper supply chain network. Blockchain is a distributed structure of immutable records that are chained together to form blocks. It provides a guarantee of storing the data correctly and reliably. Smart contracts, which are self-executing contracts containing the terms of the agreement between the entities involved, provide utility for automation of reputation calculation with the transactions. Reputation systems allow participants to …rate each other, thus building trust through reputation. The present reputation systems have bounded scrutiny and lack granularity; hence they are not ideal for supply chains. In this work, we propose a reliable supply chain framework using blockchain and smart contracts. It uses a consortium blockchain network to trace communication between the participants and to calculate reputation scores dynamically. Rewards and penalties are assigned to the participants of the supply chain network based on the food product quality involved in the trade. The network participants have defined roles and the access permissions govern who can access the ledger. An immutable ledger stores all the transactions occurring in the network. Any change in one block will reflect in the consecutive blocks, which ensures the data is reliable and secure. The proposed system is implemented using Hyperledger Composer. The proposed framework is evaluated in terms of throughput and latency for varying asset size and batch size using the benchmarking tool Caliper. Results show that the security and reliability provided by the proposed framework justify the overheads in contrast to a trading model that does not include a blockchain network. Show more

Abstract: Embedding information in medical images is considered as one of the significant methods for safeguarding the integrity and authenticity of medical images besides providing security to electronic patient records (EPR). The conventional embedding methods deteriorate the perceptual quality of medical images making them unsuitable for proper diagnosis. To preserve the perceptual quality of medical images reversible embedding is used. The reversible embedding schemes, however, have less embedding capacity. In this work, a reversible scheme based on histogram bin shifting and RGB plane concatenation has been proposed which offers high embedding capacity as well. We have exploited the fact that medical …images, unlike general images, consist of a large number of peaks and zero points that can be employed for reversibly embedding the data. Reversibility ensures that original image restoration takes place after the extraction of embedded data, which is of great importance in medical images for proper diagnosis and treatment. We have used various subjective and objective image quality metrics for analyzing the scheme. The proposed scheme has been shown to provide a Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) value of above 56 dB for an embedding capacity of 0.58 bits per pixel (bpp). The results obtained show that the performance of scheme presented is far better in comparison to the state-of-the-art. Show more

Abstract: In today’s era, cloud computing has played a major role in providing various services and capabilities to a number of researchers around the globe. One of the major problems we face in cloud is to identify the various constraints related with the delay in the Task accomplishment as well as the enhanced approach to execute the task with high throughput. Many studies have shown that it is almost difficult to create an ideal solution but it seems feasible to provide a sub-optimal solution utilizing heuristic algorithms. In this paper, compared to previously used particle swarm optimization (PSO), heuristic approaches, and …improved PSO algorithm for efficient task scheduling, we propose “Modified Filtering Algorithm” for task scheduling on cloud setting. Comparing all these three algorithms, we strive to build an optimum schedule to reduce the completion period of execution of activities. Show more

Abstract: Cancer is a prevalent disease which comes in several forms. The need of the hour in cancer research is to be able to diagnose cancer in its early stages. The furthermost common forms of cancer among women us breast cancer. In recent times, there has been a drastic increase in the number of breast cancer cases among women. As a wide range of medical data is available in electronic form and with easy access to Machine Learning(ML) techniques disease progression risk evaluation has been made easier. These ML tools can aid in giving us complex insights from the massive amounts …of available data. Some of the techniques used for developing predictive models for perfect decision making in cancer research are Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), Bayesian Networks (BNs), Support Vector Machines (SVMs), and Decision Trees (DTs). Although it is acceptable that ML is used to predict cancer progression, we need some level of validation. In this paper, we have come up with a review of several ML methods in modelling cancer progression. We discuss several predictive models based on supervised ML techniques and the inputs given by users, along with the data available. The results that were obtained from Logistic Regression show us that this method gave a significantly higher accuracy than most other classifiers. The best accuracy is 98.2%, however, the best precision and recall is 100 and 98.60% correspondingly. Show more

Abstract: Industry has always been in the pursuit of becoming more economically efficient and the current focus has been to reduce human labour using modern technologies. Even with cutting edge technologies, which range from packaging robots to AI for fault detection, there is still some ambiguity on the aims of some new systems, namely, whether they are automated or autonomous. In this paper, we indicate the distinctions between automated and autonomous systems as well as review the current literature and identify the core challenges for creating learning mechanisms of autonomous agents. We discuss using different types of extended realities, such as …digital twins, how to train reinforcement learning agents to learn specific tasks through generalisation. Once generalisation is achieved, we discuss how these can be used to develop self-learning agents. We then introduce self-play scenarios and how they can be used to teach self-learning agents through a supportive environment that focuses on how the agents can adapt to different environments. We introduce an initial prototype of our ideas by solving a multi-armed bandit problem using two ε -greedy algorithms. Further, we discuss future applications in the industrial management realm and propose a modular architecture for improving the decision-making process via autonomous agents. Show more

Abstract: Vitiligo is a problem due to the destruction of melanocytes which is present in 1% of people all over the world. The origin of this disease is unknown and difficult to cure. Absence of melanin in the body causes lesions which will ooze out all over the body. Phototherapy and surgical therapy are the two types of treatment available in the existing world. The Cytotoxic CD8 + T lymphocytes act as a major factor for the abovesaid disease. The main objective of this work is to treat patients with different methods according to the severity of vitiligo, which can be identified with …the help of out ranking based on hesitant fuzzy relation. Multi-criteria and multi-objective hesitant fuzzy are applied in this work to find out the ranking through which the severity of the disease is detected. This method helps in identifying the vitiligo lesions, which can be treated effectively in a short period of time. During the application of vitiligo treatment, FQA-TOPSIS (Fuzzy Quantified Attribute-TOPSIS) hesitant fuzzy relation methodology is deployed with three decision maker’s support using linguistic and intuitionistic values. The decision maker’s fuzzy values will be normalized and aggregated in this work with improved methodologies. The two objectives are deployed with their own fuzzy values and are implemented in the decision maker’s values. In the article fuzzy weightage has been calculated in two ways. One is every linguistic like low, medium, high and very high has got its significant intuitionistic values that all will be available with the scale of 1 to 10. The same has given as triplets. In our research work the above said has applied with the objective based weightage. So the accuracy has been increased through the work. The outcome of this methodology is to find out the coefficient closeness of the alternatives and to out rank the decision alternatives. The difference between the Final +ve Ideal Solution (FPIS) and Final -ve Ideal Solution (FNIS) is determined and FQA-TOPSIS Hesitant Fuzzy is ranked in the result. Show more

Abstract: Rare event detections are performed using spatial domain and frequency domain-based procedures. Omnipresent surveillance camera footages are increasing exponentially due course the time. Monitoring all the events manually is an insignificant and more time-consuming process. Therefore, an automated rare event detection contrivance is required to make this process manageable. In this work, a Context-Free Grammar (CFG) is developed for detecting rare events from a video stream and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is used to train CFG. A set of dedicated algorithms are used to perform frame split process, edge detection, background subtraction and convert the processed data into CFG. The …developed CFG is converted into nodes and edges to form a graph. The graph is given to the input layer of an ANN to classify normal and rare event classes. Graph derived from CFG using input video stream is used to train ANN Further the performance of developed Artificial Neural Network Based Context-Free Grammar – Rare Event Detection (ACFG-RED) is compared with other existing techniques and performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, sensitivity, recall, average processing time and average processing power are used for performance estimation and analyzed. Better performance metrics values have been observed for the ANN-CFG model compared with other techniques. The developed model will provide a better solution in detecting rare events using video streams. Show more

Abstract: Like many open-source technologies such as UNIX or TCP/IP, Hadoop was not created with Security in mind. Hadoop however evolved from the other tools over time and got widely adopted across large enterprises. Some of Hadoop’s architectural features present Hadoop its unique security issues. Given this security vulnerability and potential invasion of confidentiality due to malicious attackers or internal customers, organizations face challenges in implementing a strong security framework for Hadoop. Furthermore, given the method in which data is placed in Hadoop Cluster adds to the only growing list of these potential security vulnerabilities. Data privacy is compromised when these …critical and data-sensitive blocks are accessed either by unauthorized users or for that matter even misuse by authorized users. In this paper, we intend to address the strategy of data block placement across the allotted DataNodes. Prescriptive analytics algorithms are used to determine the Sensitivity Index of the Data and thereby decide on data placement allocation to provide impenetrable access to an unauthorized user. This data block placement strategy aims to adaptively distribute the data across the cluster using innovative ML techniques to make the data infrastructure extra secured. Show more

Abstract: With ever growing popularity, wireless communication system also vulnerable to various security attacks. To provide high level security, many cryptographic solutions have been proposed. One such solution is signcryption, where authenticity and confidentiality provided by single logical step. Therefore, signcryption scheme helps to reduce computational cost, but it is not feasible for resource constraint environments. Because, most of the existing approaches were based on El-Gamal, bilinear pairing, Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA), and Elliptic curve Cryptography (ECC). They consume more energy due to their increased key size. Hence, the new signcryption approach is proposed based on Hyper Elliptic Curve Cryptosystem (HECC) whose key …size is much lesser than ECC. It significantly reduces the cost of computation and communication overhead by half the amount of ECC which suits well for resource constraint environments. Further, the proposed scheme attains necessary security features along with forward secrecy and public verifiability. On the other hand, the security of the approach is validated through an automated protocol validation tool – AVISPA. Show more

Abstract: The principle assaults on a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) essentially influence the uprightness and accessibility of the data gathered, for example, Deni-al of Service, Blackhole, Wormhole, and assault on the data being transmitted. Privacy is not an important security objective because the data caught by the sensors are typically not delicate or mystery from individuals. A remote sensor organizes applied to shrewd metering frameworks might be adequately powerful as far as robotization and adjustment of the information that is gathered, however, if the system doesn’t have satisfactory security, both the client and the organization offering the support might be influenced …by assaults on the respectability and accessibility of the data transmitted. This research proposes the use of MESH encryption techniques and Star topology to find the best combination that meets the requirements of a Smart Metering System. Show more

Abstract: Approximate computing is a rapidly growing technique to speed up applications with less computational effort while maintaining the accuracy of error-resilient applications such as machine learning and deep learning. Inheritance properties of the machine and deep learning process give freedom for the designer to simplify the circuitry to speed up the computation process at the expense of accuracy of computational results. Fundamental blocks of any computation are adders. In order to optimize it for better performance, 2-bit multi-bit approximate adders (MAPX) are proposed in this work which breaks the lengthy carry chain. In contrast with other approximate larger width adders, …instead of using accurate adders for the most significant part, here proposed 2-bit MAPX-1 and MAPX-2 adders are arranged in various ways to compose most and least significant parts. Designed 8-bit and 16-bit adders are evaluated for their performance and error characteristics. Proposed 2-bit MAPX-2 shows better error characteristics whose MED is 0.250 while occupying less area and MAPX-1 consumes less power and delay at the cost of accuracy. Among the extended adders, MAPX 8-bit adder design1 outperforms the best performing APX based 8-bit adder design1. The error performance of it is improved by 14%, 42.1% and 50.4% compared to the existing well-performing APX 8-bit Design1, Design2 and Design3 respectively. Similarly, proposed MAPX 16-bit Design1 exhibits overwhelming performance compared to best performing APX 16-bit Design1, and its error performance is improved by 24.3%, 34.9% and 50.3% compared to APX 16-bit Design1, Design2 and Design3 respectively. In order to evaluate the proposed adder for a real application, extended MAPX 16-bit Design1 is fit in the convolution layer of Low Weights Digit Detector (LWDD) convolutional neural network-based digit classification system. Our modified system accelerates the computation process by 1.25 factors while exhibiting the accuracy of 91% and it best fits error-tolerant real applications. All the adders are synthesized and implemented in the Intel Cyclone IV EP4CE22F17C6N FPGA. Show more

Abstract: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is created, stemming from their applications in distinct areas. Huge sensor nodes are deployed in geographically isolated regions in WSN. As a result of uninterrupted transmission, the energy level of the nodes gets rapidly depleted. Sensor node batteries cannot be replaced or recharged often and maintaining the energy level is a crucial issue. Thus energy efficiency is the significant factor to be consider in WSN. This paper focuses to implement an efficient clustering and routing protocols for maximized network lifetime. Clustering has been confirmed as a successful approach in network organization. The fundamental responsibilities of the …clustering mechanism include improved energy efficiency and extended network lifespan. In this work, energy efficiency is improved to maximize lifespan of the WSN by proposing a novel method known as the Populated Cluster aware Routing Protocol (PCRP). The proposed method comprises three different steps: cluster formation, cluster head selection, and multi-hop data transmission. All sensor nodes are joined to a Cluster Head in a single hop in the cluster formation phase. Node distance is calculated and from which cluster head is selected. Then, cluster head aggregates the data from sensor nodes and transfer to the Base Station (BS). The shortest pathway is estimated by the Energy Route Request Adhoc On-demand Distance Vector (ERRAODV) algorithm. The proposed method considers the residual energy involved to attain high energy efficiency and network stability. The experimental analysis is demonstrated to validate the proposed method with existing, which improves the network lifespan. Vital parameters are validated using Network Simulator (NS2). Show more

Abstract: Face is the most important and most popular biometric used in many identification and verification systems. In these systems, for reducing recognition error rate, the quality of input images need to be as high as possible. Face Image Compliancy verification (FICV) is one of the most essential methods for this purpose. In this research, a brain functionality inspired model is presented for FICV using Haxby model, which is a face visual perception consistent model containing three bilateral areas for three different functionalities. As a result, contribution of this work is presenting a new model, based on human brain functionality, improving …the compliancy verification of face images in FICV context. Perceptual understanding of an image is the motivation of most of the quality assessment methods, i.e., the human quality perception is considered as a gold standard and a perfect reference for recognition and quality assessment. The model presented in this work aims to make the operational process of face image quality assessment system closer to the performance of a human expert. Three basic modules have been introduced. Face structural information, for initial information encoding, is simulated by an extended Viola-Jones model. Face image quality assessment is presented by International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), in ICAO (ISO / IEC19794 -11) requirements’ compliancy assessment document. Like Haxby model, perception is performed through two distinct functional and neurological pathways, using Hierarchical Maximum pooling (HMAX) and Convolutional Deep Belief Networks (CDBN). Information storing and fetching for training are similar to their corresponding modules in brain. For simulating the brain decision making, the final results of two separate paths are integrated by weighting sum operator. Nine ISO / ICAO requirements were used for testing the model. The simulation results, using AR and PUT databases, shows improvements in six requirements using the proposed method, in comparison with the FICV benchmark. Show more

Abstract: Domain name system (DNS) plays a critical part in the functioning of the Internet. But since DNS queries are sent using UDP, it is vulnerable to Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. The attacker can take advantage of this and spoof the source IP address and direct the response towards the victim network. And since the network does not keep track of the number of requests going out and responses coming in, the attacker can flood the network with these unwanted DNS responses. Along with DNS, other protocols are also exploited to perform DDoS. Usage of Network Time Protocol (NTP) …is to synchronize clocks on systems. Its monlist command replies with 600 entries of previous traffic records. This response is enormous compared to the request. This functionality is used by the attacker in DDoS. Since these attacks can cause colossal congestion, it is crucial to prevent or mitigate these types of attacks. It is obligatory to discover a way to drop the spoofed packets while entering the network to mitigate this type of attack. Intelligent cybersecurity systems are designed for the detection of these attacks. An Intelligent system has AI and ML algorithms to achieve its function. This paper discusses such intelligent method to detect the attack server from legitimate traffic. This method uses an algorithm that gets activated by excess traffic in the network. The excess traffic is determined by the speed or rate of the requests and responses and their ratio. The algorithm extracts the IP addresses of servers and detects which server is sending more packets than requested or which are not requested. This server can be later blocked using a firewall or Access Control List (ACL). Show more

Abstract: Breast cancer should be diagnosed as early as possible. A new approach of the diagnosis using deep learning for breast cancer and the particular process using segmentation strategies presented in this article. Medical imagery is an essential tool used for both diagnosis and treatment in many fields of medical applications. But, it takes specially trained medical specialists to read medical images and make diagnoses or treatment decisions. New practices of interpreting medical images are labour exhaustive, time-wasting, expensive, and prone to error. Using a computer-aided program which can render diagnosis and treatment decisions automatically would be more beneficial. A new …computer-based detection method for the classification between compassionate and malignant mass tumours in mammography images of the breast proposed. (a) We planned to determine how to use the challenging definition, which produces severe examples that boost the segmentation of mammograms. (b) Employing well designing multi-instance learning through deep learning, we validated employing inadequately labelled data of breast cancer diagnosis using a mammogram. (c) The study is going through the Deep Lung method incorporating deep multi-dimensional automated identification and classification of the lung nodule. (d) By combining a probabilistic graphic model in deep learning, it authorizes how weakly labelled data can be used to improve the existing breast cancer identification method. This automated system involves manually defining the Region Of Interest (ROI), with the region and threshold values based on the next region. The High-Resolution Multi-View Deep Convolutional Neural Network (HRMP-DCNN) mainly developed for the extraction of function. The findings collected through the subsequent in available public databases like mammography screening information database and DDSM Curated Breast Imaging Subset. Ultimately, we’ll show the VGG that’s thousands of times quicker, and it is more reliable than earlier programmed anatomy segmentation. Show more

Abstract: Wireless Sensor Networks is a complex network with millions of small-scale sensor nodes, working together to detect certain physical phenomena. Sensor nodes are operated by battery therefore the major concern is energy efficiency. Clustering is an effective technique to decrease the energy depletion in the network. However, choosing the optimum Cluster Heads is an NP-Hard problem. This paper proposes an unequal clustering technique that selects probationary Cluster Heads through fuzzy logic and the optimization of this probationary Cluster Heads is done through Harmony Search Algorithm (HSA). The proposed algorithm exhibits the dynamic capability of fuzzy logic and high search efficiency …of HSA that extends the network lifespan. The findings are simulated against traditional clustering protocols and compared. The findings obtained show that the protocol proposed is performing superior in terms of network lifespan prolongation and other metrics. Show more

Abstract: Autism is a developmental disorder that influences social communication skills. It is currently diagnosed only by behavioral assessment. The assessment is susceptible to the experience of the examiner as well as to the descriptive scaling standard. This paper presents a computer aided approach to discrimination between neuro-typical and autistic children. A new method- based on the computing of the elliptic area of the Continuous Wavelet Transform complex plot of resting state EEG- is presented. First, the complex values of CWT, as a function of both time and frequency, are calculated for every EEG channel. Second, the CWT complex plot is …obtained by plotting the real parts of the resulted CWT values versus the related imaginary components. Third, the 95% confidence value of the elliptic area of the complex plot is computed for every channel for both autistic and healthy subjects; and the obtained values are considered as the first set of features. Fourth, three additional features are computed for every channel: the average CWT, the maximum EEG amplitude, and the maximum real part of CWT. The classification of those features is realized through artificial neural network (ANN). The obtained accuracy, sensitivity and specificity values are: 95.9%, 96.7%, and 95.1% respectively.

Abstract: With the agile development of the Internet era, starting from the message transmission to money transactions, everything is online now. Remote user authentication (RUA) is a mechanism in which a remote server verifies the user’s correctness over the shared or public channel. In this paper, we analyze an RUA scheme proposed by Chen for the multi-server environment and prove that their scheme is not secured. We also find numerous vulnerabilities such as password guessing attack, replay attack, Registration Center (RC) spoofing attack, session key verification attack, and perfect forward secrecy attack for Chen’s scheme. After performing the cryptanalysis of Chen’s …scheme, we propose a biometric-based RUA scheme for the same multi-server environment. We prove that the proposed authentication scheme achieves higher security than Chen’s scheme with the use of informal security analysis as well as formal security analysis. The formal security analysis of the proposed scheme is done using a widely adopted random oracle method. Show more

After that, the virus has spread all over the world and at the time of writing this paper the total number of confirmed cases are above 11 million with over 600,000 deaths. The pattern recognition of complex environment can be used to determine if a COVID-19 breath pattern can be established with accuracy.

Abstract: Under the influence of novel corona virus pneumonia epidemic prevention and control, higher requirements for behavior recognition in complex environment are put forward. The accuracy of traditional methods for sports training is not high, so a method is needed to improve the local action recognition to assist sports training. In the process of behavior recognition, if only the track is regarded as an independent individual, the information of its neighbor will be ignored. Therefore, we use KNN algorithm to get the nearest neighbor trajectory. In order to calculate the rich neighborhood information around the track, this paper calculates the complex …relationship between the center track and the neighborhood track from four different angles, including absolute motion, relative motion, distance relationship and direction relationship. Then, from the four different perspectives of variance, discrete coefficient, skewness and kurtosis, this paper proposes a large interval nearest neighbor coding method. This method makes the four eigenvalues complement each other and improves the ability of describing complex and changeable behaviors. The experimental results show that the coding method proposed in this paper can be used for behavior recognition according to different transformation matrix. Show more

Abstract: Under the influence of novel corona virus pneumonia, the staff are controlled. Therefore, it is a difficult problem to measure the parameters of wood structure building on site. The measurement error of traditional wood structure parameters in complex environment is large, so an efficient and accurate measurement and recognition method is needed. In this paper, a method combining random decrement method and ITD method is proposed to measure the frequency, damping ratio and other structural dynamic parameters of ancient building timber structure under crowd random load excitation. In this paper, the frequency and damping ratio of the typical ancient building …timber structure are predicted by using the artificial neural network model trained by the known data. The experimental results show that the population density has a great influence on the measurement of the dynamic parameters of the wooden structure of ancient buildings. Using this method, combined with the long-term monitoring data of temperature and humidity, the influence of various environmental factors on the dynamic characteristics of the structure can be analyzed. This provides data support for structural damage identification and health monitoring. Show more

Abstract: The transmission routes of novel coronavirus pneumonia include direct transmission, aerosol transmission and contact transmission. Therefore, the novel coronavirus pneumonia has been spread very quickly. This has a certain impact on the development of graphic design. Graphic design plays an important role in product design. However, the traditional aided design method is too complex, and it is difficult for designers to design works that meet their own needs. In the design of 3D virtual vision graphics, the distance calculation of time series is not accurate. This kind of error will bring some errors to the design of complex curved surface …products. In order to measure the similarity of time series effectively, the calculation principle of Euclidean distance and dynamic bending distance is analyzed. Combined with the advantages of these two methods, a new distance calculation method based on morphological fitting is proposed. In this paper, through the research of ordered point sequence, the 3D virtual design method is used to improve the design effect, which has reference value for the design of works that meet the requirements of designers during the popularity of COVID-19.

Abstract: The popularity of covid-19 has led to the introduction of the policy of controlling the flow of personnel, which has a certain impact on the color recognition of the design objects of hand decorative elements. In the past, the research on convolution neural network design and color recognition is still in the traditional method, and the field of computer vision is not really combined with the traditional decorative fabric. This paper proposes a solution based on deep learning. Color learning and main color recognition can be processed as a whole. By introducing convolution neural network, the scheme can learn color …features directly from the image itself, and the process of artificial design features is omitted. While simplifying the process of model building and training, the potential information association can be obtained, so as to obtain better recognition effect. In addition, due to the deep depth of the network, this paper uses the initial optimization module to avoid the performance degradation and over fitting in the training process. This method has an important reference value for the color design of modern hand decoration, and can promote the development of hand decoration during the popularity of covid-19. Show more

Abstract: Under the influence of COVID-19, an efficient Ad-hoc network routing algorithm is required in the process of epidemic prevention and control. Artificial neural network has become an effective method to solve large-scale optimization problems. It has been proved that the appropriate neural network can get the exact solution of the problem in real time. Based on the continuous Hopfield neural network (CHNN), this paper focuses on the study of the best algorithm path for QoS routing in Ad-hoc networks. In this paper, a new Hopfield neural network model is proposed to solve the minimum cost problem in Ad-hoc networks with …time delay. In the improved version of the path algorithm, the relationship between the parameters of the energy function is provided, and it is proved that the feasible solution of the network belongs to the category of progressive stability by properly selecting the parameters. The calculation example shows that the solution is not affected by the initial value, and the global optimal solution can always be obtained. The algorithm is very effective in the prevention and control in COVID-19 epidemic. Show more
