Abstract Internet of things (IoT) and cloud computing (CC) becomes widespread in different application domains such as business, e-commerce, healthcare, etc. The recent developments of IoT technology have led to an increase in large amounts of data from various sources. In IoT enabled cloud environment, load scheduling remains a challenging process which is applied for ensuring network stability with maximum resource utilization. The load scheduling problem was regarded as an optimization problem that is solved by metaheuristics. In this view, this study develops a new Circle Chaotic Chameleon Swarm Optimization based Load Scheduling (C3SOA-LS) technique for IoT enabled cloud environment. The… More >

Abstract Brain tumor detection and division is a difficult tedious undertaking in clinical image preparation. When it comes to the new technology that enables accurate identification of the mysterious tissues of the brain, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a great tool. It is possible to alter the tumor’s size and shape at any time for any number of patients by using the Brain picture. Radiologists have a difficult time sorting and classifying tumors from multiple images. Brain tumors may be accurately detected using a new approach called Nonlinear Teager-Kaiser Iterative Infomax Boost Clustering-Based Image Segmentation (NTKFIBC-IS). Teager-Kaiser filtering is used to… More >

Abstract A sensor graph network is a sensor network model organized according to graph network structure. Structural unit and signal propagation of core nodes are the basic characteristics of sensor graph networks. In sensor networks, network structure recognition is the basis for accurate identification and effective prediction and control of node states. Aiming at the problems of difficult global structure identification and poor interpretability in complex sensor graph networks, based on the characteristics of sensor networks, a method is proposed to firstly unitize the graph network structure and then expand the unit based on the signal transmission path of the core… More >

Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) plays an essential role in the current and future generations of information, network, and communication development and applications. This research focuses on vocal tract visualization and modeling, which are critical issues in realizing inner vocal tract animation. That is applied in many fields, such as speech training, speech therapy, speech analysis and other speech production-related applications. This work constructed a geometric model by observation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging data, providing a new method to annotate and construct 3D vocal tract organs. The proposed method has two advantages compared with previous methods. Firstly it has a… More >

Abstract Mobile location-based services (MLBS) refer to services around geographic location data. Mobile terminals use wireless communication networks (or satellite positioning systems) to obtain users’ geographic location coordinate information based on spatial databases and integrate with other information to provide users with required location-related services. The development of systems based on MLBS has significance and practical value. In this paper a visualization management information system for personnel in major events based on microservices, namely MEPMIS, is designed and implemented by using MLBS. The system consists of a server and a client app, and it has some functions including map search and… More >

Abstract The data in the blockchain cannot be tampered with and the users are anonymous, which enables the blockchain to be a natural carrier for covert communication. However, the existing methods of covert communication in blockchain suffer from the predefined channel structure, the capacity of a single transaction is not high, and the fixed transaction behaviors will lower the concealment of the communication channel. Therefore, this paper proposes a derivation matrix-based covert communication method in blockchain. It uses dual-key to derive two types of blockchain addresses and then constructs an address matrix by dividing addresses into multiple layers to make full… More >

Abstract Recently, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) find their applicability in several real-time applications such as disaster management, military, surveillance, healthcare, etc. The utilization of WSNs in the disaster monitoring process has gained significant attention among research communities and governments. Real-time monitoring of disaster areas using WSN is a challenging process due to the energy-limited sensor nodes. Therefore, the clustering process can be utilized to improve the energy utilization of the nodes and thereby improve the overall functioning of the network. In this aspect, this study proposes a novel Lens-Oppositional Wild Goose Optimization based Energy Aware Clustering (LOWGO-EAC) scheme for WSN-assisted real-time… More >

Abstract With the rapid development of 5G technology, it has become fast and easy for people to transmit information on the Internet. Digital images can express information more intuitively, so transmitting information through images has excellent applications. This paper uses a new chaotic system called 1D-Sin-Logistic-Map (1D-SLM). 1D-SLM has two control parameters, which can provide larger parameter space, and the parameter space in the chaotic state is continuous. Through Lyapunov exponent analysis (LE), bifurcation diagrams analysis, spectral entropy analysis (SE), and 0-1 test, it is verified that 1D-SLM has complex dynamic behavior and is very suitable for cryptography. Compared with other… More >

Abstract In the Big Data era, numerous sources and environments generate massive amounts of data. This enormous amount of data necessitates specialized advanced tools and procedures that effectively evaluate the information and anticipate decisions for future changes. Hadoop is used to process this kind of data. It is known to handle vast volumes of data more efficiently than tiny amounts, which results in inefficiency in the framework. This study proposes a novel solution to the problem by applying the Enhanced Best Fit Merging algorithm (EBFM) that merges files depending on predefined parameters (type and size). Implementing this algorithm will ensure that… More >

Abstract For surface defects in electronic water pump shells, the manual detection efficiency is low, prone to misdetection and leak detection, and encounters problems, such as uncertainty. To improve the speed and accuracy of surface defect detection, a lightweight detection method based on an improved YOLOv5s method is proposed to replace the traditional manual detection methods. In this method, the MobileNetV3 module replaces the backbone network of YOLOv5s, depth-separable convolution is introduced, the parameters and calculations are reduced, and CIoU_Loss is used as the loss function of the boundary box regression to improve its detection accuracy. A dataset of electronic pump… More >
