Improving Data Aggregation Performance in Wireless Sensor Networks using Software-Defined Networks

In this paper, we present a novel methodology to improve the performance of collection operations in wireless sensor networks by the application of software-defined networking technology on (SD WISE) platform. The conditions for selecting the grouped nodes in the controller were determined by adjusting the weights of the (Dijekstra) algorithm. The grouped nodes that include the node were determined based on the paths chosen by the algorithm. The SDN-WISE platform supports reading the payload of the packet and not just the header, in addition to the possibility of dealing with a packet depending on another packet, and the flexibility to modify the routing tables to achieve the appropriate rules for the proposed aggregation algorithm. The results show a significant reduction in the energy consumed after applying the novel suggested algorithm.

Quantitative Approach for Anemia Detection Using Regression Analysis

Anemia, generally termed as deficiency of hemoglobin or red blood cells in the blood is significant global health concern for the population in underdeveloped as well as in developing nations specially, for children and young women in rural areas. This paper proposes a quantitative approach for anemia detection by regression analysis technique which predicts hemoglobin level in the blood. To achieve this, the image dataset of microscopic blood sample is collected from 70 individuals. The data collection requires proper procedure as it plays vital part in system implementation. The statistical feature utilizing mean pixel intensity values from the red, green, and blue color planes of the images are given as input to the regression model. For the proposed system, we have employed multiple regression analysis model using machine learning approach with both three and four regression coefficients to establish relation between features obtained from blood samples and the hemoglobin level in the blood to achieve the specified task of anemia detection in an individual. Performance analysis show promising results for the proposed system with co-efficient of determination (R2) and root mean square error (RMSE) found out be 0.923 and 1.682 respectively. Overall, this paper presents valuable system for anemia detection based on hemoglobin estimation which can be implemented in areas with limited medical resources and gives another supportive technological solution for current healthcare problems.

Comparative Analysis of ML-Based Outlier Detection Techniques for IoT-Based Smart Energy Management Systems

With the development and advancement of ICST, data-driven technology such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Smart Technology including Smart Energy Management Systems (SEMS) has become a trend in many regions and around the globe. There is no doubt that data quality and data quality problems are among the most vital topics to be addressed for a successful application of IoT-based SEMS. Poor data in such major yet delicate systems will affect the quality of life (QoL) of millions, and even cause destruction and disruption to a country. This paper aims to tackle this problem by searching for suitable outlier detection techniques from the many developed ML-based outlier detection methods. Three methods are chosen and analyzed for their performances, namely the K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN)+ Mahalanobis Distance (MD), Minimum Covariance Determinant (MCD), and Local Outlier Factor (LOF) models. Three sensor-collected datasets that are related to SEMS and with different data types are used in this research, they are pre-processed and split into training and testing datasets with manually injected outliers. The training datasets are then used for searching the patterns of the datasets through training of the models, and the trained models are then tested with the testing datasets, using the found patterns to identify and label the outliers in the datasets. All the models can accurately identify the outliers, with their average accuracies scoring over 95%. However, the average execution time used for each model varies, where the KNN+MD model has the longest average execution time at 12.99 seconds, MCD achieving 3.98 seconds for execution time, and the LOF model at 0.60 seconds, the shortest among the three.

Sustainable Waste Management through ML-based Real-Time Trash Bin Prediction

Waste management has been an issue due to low awareness among people of any country to lead major environmental contamination, tragic accidents, and unfavorable working conditions for landfill workers. The Lack of precise and efficient object detection could be a barrier in the growth of computer vision-based systems. As per the latest research articles, pre-trained models could be used for Trash Bin detection in real time and for recommending appropriate actions after detection. Using a unique validation dataset made up of predicted trash items, the two classes of acceptable object identification models, YOLO (You Only Look Once) and SSD (Single Shot Multibox Detector), are then contrasted. It is concluded that SSD performs noticeably better than YOLO in identifying trash objects based on several performance metrics computed utilizing multiple open-source research projects. The model is then built up to recognize several trash object types after being pre-trained using Microsoft's COCO (Common Objects in Context) dataset. Our initiative intends to enhance sustainable waste management, make trash sorting incredibly simple, and guard against serious illnesses and accidents at landfill and garbage disposal sites.

Securing Pervasive Computing Networks: Enhancing Network Security via Network Virtualization in Wireless Communications Infrastructure

The seamless integration of technology for computing into everyday items and environments is known as pervasive computing. To protect against cyber threats and vulnerabilities, robust security mechanisms are necessary. Conventional security measures, including gateways and the use of encryption, may not be sufficient to address the unique challenges encountered in ubiquitous computing systems. But these techniques are still vital. In addition to the variety of devices, resource limitations, mobility needs, and the possibility of large-scale distributed attacks, these obstacles also include the potential for attack. Network virtualization, that abstracts and separates network facilities and functions, is a promising way to increasing security in pervasive computing deployments: it abstracts and isolates network resources and processes. Wireless communication play a significant part in the development of a digital infrastructure that is both resilient and trustworthy. The processes of dynamic resource allocation, isolation, and management of network bandwidth are made possible through the utilization of virtualization, leads to the proposal of Secure Wireless Virtual Resource Allocation and Authentication Algorithm(SWVRA3) to make the abstraction of the network's physical resources into virtualized entities By using network virtualization, pervasive computing applications and services can be secured with logically segregated virtual networks. The cross-contamination and security breaches can be reduced by this separation. Furthermore, flexible configuration, dynamic allocation of resources, and centralized virtual control are allowed by network visualization that improves threat incidence response, enforcement of policies, and security surveillance.

An IoT Device-Level Vulnerability Control Model Through Federated Detection

In the rapidly expanding Internet of Things (IoT) landscape, the security of IoT devices is a major concern. The challenge lies in the lack of intrusion detection systems (IDS) models for these devices. This is due to resource limitations, resulting in, single point of failure, delayed threat detection and privacy issues when centralizing IDS processing. To address this, a LiteDLVC model is proposed in this paper, employing a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) in a federated learning (FL) approach to minimize the vulnerabilities in IoT system. This model manages smaller datasets from individual devices, reducing processing time and optimizing computing resources. Importantly, in the event of an attack, the LiteDLVC model targets only the compromised device, protecting the FL aggregator and other IoT devices. The model's evaluation using the BoT-IoT dataset on TensorFlow Federated (TFF) demonstrates higher accuracy and better performance with full features subset of 99.99% accuracy on test set and achieved average of 1.11sec in detecting bot attacks through federated detection. While on 10-best subset achieved 99.99 on test with 1.14sec as average detection time. Notably, this highlights that LiteDLVC model can potential secure IoT device from device level very efficiently. To improve the global model convergence, we are currently exploring the use genetic algorithm.  This could lead to better performance on diverse IoT data distributions, and increased overall efficiency in FL scenes with non-IID data.

HDRA: A Haybird Data Reduction and Routing Algorithm

Presently, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are emerging as a vibrant field of research due to various challenging aspects such as energy consumption, routing strategies, effectiveness, among others. Despite unresolved issues within WSNs, a substantial array of applications has already been developed. For any application design, a primary objective is to optimize the WSN in terms of its lifecycle and functionality. Recent studies on data reduction methods have shown that sensor nodes often transmit data directly (single hop) to the base station (BS). However, a significant concern is that most existing multi-hop routing protocols do not address data reduction before forwarding data to the BS. Consequently, this study introduces a Hybrid Data Reduction and Routing Algorithm (HDRA). The principal aim of HDRA is to prolong the lifespan of cluster-based WSNs. It strives to decrease the packet transmission by sensor nodes, especially when there's minimal change in sensor readings. The findings indicate that HDRA outperforms the LEACH protocol in terms of energy efficiency in sensor networks, irrespective of network type (T, H, or TH) or deployment scenarios (200x200m or 400x400m). Overall, the proposed algorithm enhances network performance by conserving energy and extending network lifespan.

Intelligent Problem Solver in Database Systems based on Ontology Integration through Text-to-SQL

The knowledge of courses can be represented by using ontology to create intelligent educational systems. This study proposes the Onto-Linking model as a knowledge framework that expresses the knowledge of the inputted schema to investigate the schema linking problem of the Text-to-SQL model. It combines the ontology with the structure of the schema. The proposed ontology is utilized to encapsulate the semantics of the intellectual elements of the schema, such as the table names, column names, foreign/primary key restrictions, and information about the probing schema connection. Therefore, the model makes it easier to accurately translate natural language questions into SQL queries. It improves query creation, helps with error handling, and supports query validation by helping the model better grasp the query's intent. The outcomes of the pedagogically oriented model aimed at guiding learners to comprehend the process of reasoning to attain the respective solution.

Online Game Outcome Prediction Model Using Weighted-Based Feature Approach

Recently, the popularity of online games has risen drastically due to the latest technology that can connect players globally. League of Legends (LoL) holds the title of being the most extensively played Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) game globally. This issue compels a substantial volume of preceding research that still analyzes and predicts the game outcomes with traditional methods that can be inaccurate and imprecise. Furthermore, these methods are frequently associated with the high rates of both false positive and false negative results. Hence, this paper presents a weighted-based feature predictor model to enhance the prediction accuracy. The approach predicts the game outcome of League of Legends matches in the Latin America North (LAN) and North America (NA) regions. We utilize player mastery and win rate for each summoner as the features. The data preparation process includes a weighted algorithm calculation and then evaluation using Naïve Bayes and Support Vector Machine algorithm. The outcomes illustrate that the weight-based feature approach can predict the outcome of LoL matches with an average accuracy of over 97 percent. This approach can be a valuable technique for players, teams, and coaches to analyze their performance and make strategic decisions.
