Transmission Dynamics of Malware in Networks Using Caputo Fractional Order Derivative

By Jyoti Kumari Gupta Bimal Kumar Mishra

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijmsc.2024.02.01, Pub. Date: 8 Jun. 2024

Fractional calculus plays a crucial role in the representation of various natural and physical phenomena by incorporating the inherent non-locality and long-term memory effect of fractional operators. These models offer a more precise and systematic depiction of the underlying phenomena. The focus of this research paper is on the utilization of fractional calculus in the context of the epidemic model. Specifically, the model considers a fractional order ρ, where 0<ρ≤1, and employs the Caputo fractional order derivative to describe the transmission of malware in both wireless and wired networks. The basic reproduction number, along with the fractional order ρ, is identified as the threshold parameter in this model. The stability of the system is analysed at different stages of the reproduction number, considering both local and global asymptotic stability. Additionally, sensitivity analysis is conducted on the model parameters to determine the direction of change in the reproduction number. This analysis aids in understanding whether the reproduction number will increase or decrease under different scenarios. To obtain numerical results, the Fractional Forward Euler Method is utilized for simulation purposes. This method enables the computation of the model's dynamics and offers insights into the behaviour of the system. While the Caputo fractional order derivative offers a promising framework for modelling epidemic dynamics, they often entail significant computational overhead, limiting the scalability and practical utility of fractional calculus-based epidemic models, especially in real-time simulation and forecasting scenarios.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijmsc.2024.02.02, Pub. Date: 8 Jun. 2024

In response surface methodology, optimality criteria is a major tools used to measure the goodness of a design. Optimal experimental designs (or optimum designs) are a class of experimental designs that are optimal with respect to some statistical criterion. E – Optimality criterion is one of the traditional alphabetical criterion used to explore the right choice of a design in both linear and quadratic response surface models. In this paper, we investigated E – optimal experimental designs for a quadratic response surface model with two factor predictors. We developed an algorithm and a flowchart in line with a program to obtain E – optimal design and compare the result with an existing method. Two designs were formulated each with six points to illustrate the usefulness of the new method. The result revealed that the new technique outperformed better than the existing method. The significance of the later to the former technique is that, it minimizes error due to approximation and also make the computation of the aforementioned optimality easier. We, therefore recommended this method to be used at all length of points when E – optimality is to be evaluated.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijmsc.2024.02.05, Pub. Date: 8 Jun. 2024

Stroke prediction is paramount in healthcare to enable timely intervention and reduce the burden of this devastating condition. This research paper examines the prediction of strokes using machine learning methods, aiming to enhance accuracy and efficiency in risk assessment. Numerous Machine Learning (ML) techniques, such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), XGBoost, Random Forest, Linear Regression, and Gaussian Naive Bayes, are explored using a comprehensive dataset containing patient demographics, medical history, lifestyle factors, and clinical measurements. Based on different ML models, an Enhanced Stroke Prediction Model (ESPM) is proposed. Grid search, Randomized search, and Bayesian optimization are employed as hyperparameter tuning techniques, and parameters like accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score are analyzed. It is observed that SVM with Grid Search hyperparameter tunning performs well with an accuracy of 94.129%; Positive Predictive Value (PPV), True Positive Rate(TPR), and F1 Score achieved are 89%, 94%, and 91%, respectively. The outcomes demonstrate the suitability of these models for different aspects of stroke prediction, such as handling complex patterns, capturing non-linearity, robustness to noisy data, and modeling continuous risk scores.

By Jubayer Ahamed Dip Nandi

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijmsc.2023.04.05, Pub. Date: 8 Dec. 2023

The process of making decisions on software architecture is the greatest significance for the achievement of a software system's success. Software architecture establishes the framework of the system, specifies its characteristics, and has significant and major effects across the whole life cycle of the system. The complicated characteristics of the software development context and the significance of the problem have caused the research community to build various methodologies focused on supporting software architects to improve their decision-making abilities. With these efforts, the implementation of such systematic methodologies looks to be somewhat constrained in practical application. Moreover, the decision-makers must overcome unexpected difficulties due to the varying software development processes that propose distinct approaches for architecture design. The understanding of these design approaches helps to develop the architectural design framework. In the area of software architecture, a significant change has occurred wherein the focus has shifted from primarily identifying the result of the architecting process, which was primarily expressed through the representation of components and connectors, to the documentation of architectural design decisions and the underlying reasoning behind them. This shift finally concludes in the creation of an architectural design framework. So, a correct decision- making approach is needed to design the software architecture. The present study analyzes the design decisions and proposes a new design decision model for the software architecture. This study introduces a new approach to the decision-making model, wherein software architecture design is viewed based on specific decisions.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijmsc.2021.02.05, Pub. Date: 8 Jun. 2021

Cloud computing is a widely acceptable computing environment, and its services are also widely available. But the consumption of energy is one of the major issues of cloud computing as a green computing. Because many electronic resources like processing devices, storage devices in both client and server site and network computing devices like switches, routers are the main elements of energy consumption in cloud and during computation power are also required to cool the IT load in cloud computing. So due to the high consumption, cloud resources define the high energy cost during the service activities of cloud computing and contribute more carbon emissions to the atmosphere. These two issues inspired the cloud companies to develop such renewable cloud sustainability regulations to control the energy cost and the rate of CO2 emission. The main purpose of this paper is to develop a green computing environment through saving the energy of cloud resources using the specific approach of identifying the requirement of computing resources during the computation of cloud services. Only required computing resources remain ON (working state), and the rest become OFF (sleep/hibernate state) to reduce the energy uses in the cloud data centers. This approach will be more efficient than other available approaches based on cloud service scheduling or migration and virtualization of services in the cloud network. It reduces the cloud data center's energy usages by applying a power management scheme (ON/OFF) on computing resources. The proposed approach helps to convert the cloud computing in green computing through identifying an appropriate number of cloud computing resources like processing nodes, servers, disks and switches/routers during any service computation on cloud to handle the energy-saving or environmental impact.

An Individualized Face Pairing Model for Age-Invariant Face Recognition

By Joseph Damilola Akinyemi Olufade F. W. Onifade

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijmsc.2023.01.01, Pub. Date: 8 Feb. 2023

Among other factors affecting face recognition and verification, the aging of individuals is a particularly challenging one. Unlike other factors such as pose, expression, and illumination, aging is uncontrollable, personalized, and takes place throughout human life. Thus, while the effects of factors such as head pose, illumination, and facial expression on face recognition can be minimized by using images from controlled environments, the effect of aging cannot be so controlled. This work exploits the personalized nature of aging to reduce the effect of aging on face recognition so that an individual can be correctly recognized across his/her different age-separated face images. To achieve this, an individualized face pairing method was developed in this work to pair faces against entire sets of faces grouped by individuals then, similarity score vectors are obtained for both matching and non-matching image-individual pairs, and the vectors are then used for age-invariant face recognition. This model has the advantage of being able to capture all possible face matchings (intra-class and inter-class) within a face dataset without having to compute all possible image-to-image pairs. This reduces the computational demand of the model without compromising the impact of the ageing factor on the identity of the human face. The developed model was evaluated on the publicly available FG-NET dataset, two subsets of the CACD dataset, and a locally obtained FAGE dataset using leave-one-person (LOPO) cross-validation. The model achieved recognition accuracies of 97.01%, 99.89%, 99.92%, and 99.53% respectively. The developed model can be used to improve face recognition models by making them robust to age-variations in individuals in the dataset.

Sorting using a combination of Bubble Sort, Selection Sort & Counting Sort

By Sahil Kumar Prerna Singla

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijmsc.2019.02.03, Pub. Date: 8 Apr. 2019

One of the most important problems in computer science is the ordering of the data. Although sorting is a very old computer science problem, it still attracts a great deal of research. Usually, when we face a problem, we’re concerned with finding the solution, then getting it out of our heads and into a text editor, white-board, or down on a piece of paper. Eventually, we start transforming that idea into code, and the code is pretty terrible the first time around. But at some point, once we’ve made it work and made it right, we find ourselves asking: Can I make it fast? Can I make it better? This paper presents an enhanced sorting algorithm which comprises of a combination of Bubble Sort, Selection Sort, and Counting Sort. The new algorithm is analyzed, implemented, tested, compared and the results were promising.

An Improved Security Schematic based on Coordinate Transformation

By Awnon Bhowmik Mahmudul Hasan

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijmsc.2023.02.01, Pub. Date: 8 May 2023

An earlier research project that dealt with converting ASCII codes into 2D Cartesian coordinates and then applying translation and rotation transformations to construct an encryption system, is improved by this study. Here, we present a variation of the Cantor Pairing Function to convert ASCII values into distinctive 2D Coordinates. Then, we apply some novel methods to jumble the ciphertext generated as a result of the transformations. We suggest numerous improvements to the earlier research via simple tweaks in the existing code and by introducing a novel key generation protocol that generates an infinite integral key space with no decryption failures. The only way to break this protocol with no prior information would be brute force attack. With the help of elementary combinatorics and probability topics, we prove that this encryption protocol is seemingly infeasible to overcome by an unwelcome adversary.

Emoji Prediction Using Emerging Machine Learning Classifiers for Text-based Communication

By Sayan Saha Kakelli Anil Kumar

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijmsc.2022.01.04, Pub. Date: 8 Feb. 2022

We aim to extract emotional components within statements to identify the emotional state of the writer and assigning emoji related to the emotion. Emojis have become a staple part of everyday text-based communication. It is normal and common to construct an entire response with the sole use of emoji. It comes as no surprise, therefore, that effort is being put into the automatic prediction and selection of emoji appropriate for a text message. Major companies like Apple and Google have made immense strides in this, and have already deployed such systems into production (for example, the Google Gboard). The proposed work is focused on the problem of automatic emoji selection for a given text message using machine learning classification algorithms to categorize the tone of a message which is further segregated through n-gram into one of seven distinct categories. Based on the output of the classifier, select one of the more appropriate emoji from a predefined list using natural language processing (NLP) and sentimental analysis techniques. The corpus is extracted from Twitter. The result is a boring text message made lively after being annotated with appropriate text messages

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijmsc.2021.02.04, Pub. Date: 8 Jun. 2021

There exist numerous numerical methods for solving the initial value problems of ordinary differential equations. The accuracy level and computational time are not the same for all of these methods. In this article, the Modified Euler method has been discussed for solving and finding the accurate solution of Ordinary Differential Equations using different step sizes. Approximate Results obtained by different step sizes are shown using the result analysis table. Some problems are solved by the proposed method then approximated results are shown graphically compare to the exact solution for a better understanding of the accuracy level of this method. Errors are estimated for each step and are represented graphically using Matlab Programming Language and MS Excel, which reveals that so much small step size gives better accuracy with less computational error. It is observed that this method is suitable for obtaining the accurate solution of ODEs when the taken step sizes are too much small.

Outlier Detection Algorithm Based on Fuzzy C-Means and Self-organizing Maps Clustering Methods

By Mesut. Polatgil

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijmsc.2022.03.02, Pub. Date: 8 Aug. 2022

Data mining and machine learning methods are important areas where studies have increased in recent years. Data is critical for these areas focus on inferring meaningful conclusions from the data collected. The preparation of the data is very important for the studies to be carried out and the algorithms to be applied. One of the most critical steps in data preparation is outlier detection. Because these observations, which have different characteristics from the observations in the data, affect the results of the algorithms to be applied and may cause erroneous results. New methods have been developed for outlier detection and machine learning and data mining algorithms have been provided with successful results with these methods. Algorithms such as Fuzzy C Means (FCM) and Self Organization Maps (SOM) have given successful results for outlier detection in this area. However, there is no outlier detection method in which these two powerful clustering methods are used together. This study proposes a new outlier detection algorithm using these two powerful clustering methods. In this study, a new outlier detection algorithm (FUSOMOUT) was developed by using SOM and FCM clustering methods together. With this algorithm, it is aimed to increase the success of both clustering and classification algorithms. The proposed algorithm was applied to four different datasets with different characteristics (Wisconsin breast cancer dataset (WDBC), Wine, Diabetes and Kddcup99) and it was shown to significantly increase the classification accuracy with the Silhouette, Calinski-Harabasz and Davies-Bouldin indexes as clustering success indexes.

Each business has its approach to treating employees and ensuring their pleasure. As a result, many employees abruptly terminate their employment for no apparent reason. Machine learning (ML) approaches have grown in popularity among researchers in recent decades. It is capable of proposing answers to a wide range of issues. Then, using machine learning, you may generate predictions about staff attrition. In this research, distinct methods are compared to identify which workers are most likely to leave their organization. It uses two approaches to divide the dataset into train and test data: the 70 percent train, the 30 percent test split, and the K-Fold approaches. Cat Boost, LightGBM Boost, and XGBoost are three methods employed for accuracy comparison. These three approaches are accurately generated by using Gradient Boosting Algorithms.
