Dengue is a viral infection disease transmitted to people through the bite of specific mosquito species living in a tropical zone. According to the World Health Organization, dengue has been listed among the top-ten diseases for 2019 as it makes 3.9 billion people in 128 countries be at risk of infection. One major cause of…

Wireless sensor network is highly resource constrained, where energy efficiency and network lifetime plays a major role for its sustenance. As the sensor nodes are battery operated and deployed in hostile environments, either recharging or replacement of batteries in sensor nodes is not possible after its deployment in inaccessible areas. In such condition, energy is…

Information is the driving force of businesses because it can ensure the ability of knowledge and prediction. The railway industry produces a huge volume of data, with the proper processing of them and the use of innovative technology, there is the possibility of beneficial information to be provided which constitute the deciding factor for the…

Intrusion detection systems are well known for their ability to detect internal and external intrusions, it usually recognizes intrusions through learning the normal behaviour of users or the normal traffic of activities in the network. So, if any suspicious activity or behaviour is detected, it informs the users of the network. Nonetheless, intrusion detection system…

We investigate in this paper many problems related to the decision-making process in the Cognitive Radio (CR), where a Secondary User (SU) tries to maximize its opportunities by finding the most vacant channel. Recently, Multi-Armed Bandit (MAB) problems attracted the attention to help a single SU, in the context of CR, makes an optimal decision…

In the last few years of research and innovations, lots of spatial data in the form of points, lines, polygons and circles have been made available. Traditional indexing methods are not perfect to store spatial data. To search for nearest neighbour is one of the challenges in different fields like spatiotemporal data mining, computer vision,…

Fraud calls have a serious impact on telecommunications operator revenues. Fraud detection is very important because service providers can feel a significant loss of income. We conducted a fraud research case study on one of the operators that experienced fraud in 2009 and 2018. Call Detail Record (CDR) containing records of customer conversations such as…

Visualization plays a crucial role in the exploratory analysis of Big Data. The direct visualization of Big Data is a challenging task and difficult to analyze. Dimensionality Reduction techniques extract the features in the context of visualization. Due to the unsupervised and non-parametric nature, most of the dimensionality reduction techniques are not evaluated quantitatively and…

4-DOF car motion simulator helps to simulate real-life experiences that drivers do not have the opportunity to access the real environment. The dynamics equation of 4-DOF car motion simulator is a very complex problem with many uncertain parameters, so it requires intelligent control algorithms. Sliding mode controller (SMC) can achieve good tracking performance and robustness…

The human gut environment can contain hundreds to thousands bacterial species which are proven that they are associated with various diseases. Although Machine learning has been supporting and developing metagenomic researches to obtain great achievements in personalized medicine approaches to improve human health, we still face overfitting issues in Bioinformatics tasks related to metagenomic data…

It was analyzed the reference information on Cybersecurity architectures, models, standards, evaluations, mechanisms, and procedures applied to IoT domains, and public and private health area. The problem is the lack of proposals for IoT Cybersecurity in public and private hospitals to minimize random failures, ensure the privacy of personal data of patients, avoid the paralysis…

Degradation measurements are often treated and analyzed for improvement the reliability of system. Our objective in this paper is to study a class of non linear systems, whose dynamics and observations are non linear functions of the state. Obviously, we develop an Extended Kalman Filtering (EKF) algorithm for detecting the additive failures in a two…

Recently, digital image forgery detection is an emergent and important area of image processing. Digital image plays a vital role in providing evidence for any unusual incident. However, the image forgery my hide evidence and prevents the detection of such criminal cases due to advancement in image processing and availability of sophisticated software tamper of…

The banking industry is very competitive. To utilize the information, they have in order to be a competitive advantage winner is reasonably very crucial for the company. At present, the company does not only focus on the company’s strategy that prioritizes products (e.g. product or service oriented), however also necessitates to focus on the company’s…

With the current amount of data nowadays, the need for processing power has vastly grown. By relying on CPU processing power, current processing power is depending on the frequency and parallelism of the current CPU device. This means this method will lead to increased power consumption. Current research has shown that by utilize the power…

Human behavior quantification is an essential part of psychological science. One of the cases is measuring human personality. Social media provide rich text, which can be beneficial as a data source to get valuable insight. Previous researches show that social media offered favorable circumstances for psychological researchers by tracking, analyzing, and predicting human character. In…

In recent years, cyber security has been received interest from several research communities with respect to Intrusion Detection System (IDS).
