Auto-ASD Detector: Exploiting Computational Intelligence for autism spectrum disorders Detection in Children via Facial Analysis

Asperger's syndrome, difficulties with disintegration in children, and autism are all included in the category of complex neurodevelopmental diseases known as autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Individuals who are autistic struggle greatly to keep up with society's speed, have poor communication skills, and struggle to express their emotions in the right ways. Early diagnosis and intervention can greatly improve the long-term outcomes for children with ASD. Several studies have identified key characteristics of autism using a variety of methods, including feature extraction, eye tracking, and speech recognition. As opposed to a person's emotional condition, facial recognition is more crucial in identifying autism. Early diagnosis and intervention can greatly improve the long-term outcomes for children with ASD. Hence, cutting-edge information technology that employs artificial intelligence (AI) techniques has assisted in the early diagnosis of ASD based on face pattern recognition. Among these techniques are deep learning (DL) have been utilized or suggested for detecting autism in youngsters. Herein, we applied a technique for accurate autism detection in children using facial analysis with the aid of computational intelligence. The proposed approach involves analyzing facial features and expressions to identify patterns which are associated with ASD. This is achieved by leveraging application of convolutional neural network (CNNs) to extract meaningful features from facial images. The extracted features are used to accurately classify children as either having or not having ASD. To evaluate the proposed approach, a dataset of facial images of children with and without ASD is used to train and validate the proposed technique. Also, to assess their performance in accurately detecting ASD. The proposed technique has the potential to revolutionize the way ASD is diagnosed by providing an objective and reliable tool for early detection and intervention.

Solar Tracking System Using pixel identification algorithm

On cloudy days, an intelligent technique to optimizing the direction of continuous sun tracking devices is proposed in this research. When it comes to weather, direct sunlight is more essential than diffuse radiation in a clear sky. As a result, the panel is always pointing towards the sun. When the sky is overcast, the solar beam is near to zero, and the panel is positioned horizontally to receive the most dispersed radiation. Under partially covered conditions, the panel must be aimed at the source emitting the most solar energy, which can be located anywhere in the sky dome. Thus, the idea behind our technique is to analyze images taken by a ground-based sky camera system in order to identify the zone in the sky dome that is thought to be the best source of energy under foggy situations. The proposed method is put into practice utilizing an experimental setup built at Mansoura city in north Egypt. The findings were quite good under overcast situations, and the intelligent technique gave efficiency gains of up to 9% compared to typical continuous sun tracking systems.

An Effective FOG Computing Based Distributed Forecasting of Cyber-Attacks in Internet of Things

Existing cloud based security procedures are insufficient to manage the ever-increasing assaults in IoT due to the volume of data generated and the processing latency. IoT applications are vulnerable to cyberattacks, and some of these assaults might have catastrophic results if not stopped or mitigated quickly enough. As a result, IoT calls for self-protect security systems that can automatically interpret attacks in IoT traffic and efficiently handle the attack situation by activating the proper response quickly. Fog computing satisfies this need because it can embed the intelligent self-protection mechanism in the distributed fog nodes, allowing them to swiftly deal with the assault scenario and safeguard the IoT application with little in the way of human interaction. At the fog nodes, the forecasting method employs distributed Gaussian process regression. The cyber-attack may be predicted more quickly and with less mistake for both low- and high-rate attacks thanks to the local forecasting about the IoT traffic characteristics at fog node. One of the fundamental necessities of an IoT security mechanism is the ability to forecast attacks in a timely manner with a high degree of accuracy, and the simulation results highlight this fact.

Improved Method for Enhanced Quality of Service in IoHT Task Dependency Optimization

Keeping a proper level of task dependency throughout the scheduling process is critical to achieving the aim of decreasing the make-span rate in Internet of Health Things (IoHT) projects. We provide a smart model strategy for effective task scheduling in the IoHT environment for e-healthcare systems by merging hybrid moth flame optimisation (HMFO) with cloud computing. The HMFO algorithm guarantees that all available resources are distributed evenly, resulting in improved quality of service (QoS). We study the Google cluster dataset to learn about the scheduling behaviours of cloud-based jobs in order to train our model. After training, an HMFO model may be used to plan activities in real time. To assess the success of our strategy, we run simulations in the CloudSim environment, taking into account crucial parameters such as resource utilisation, reaction time, and energy consumption. According to a comparative analysis, our hybrid HMFO system surpasses the alternatives in terms of reaction time, average run duration, and cost savings. Our method has proven to be effective due to the favourable effects it has had on response rates, prices, and run times. Combining IoT and cloud computing has the potential to improve healthcare delivery in a variety of ways. One unique strategy we offer for scheduling IOHT jobs is to combine a deep neural network (DNN) algorithm with the MFO technique. Job scheduling in electronic healthcare systems can be optimised with the help of our hybrid MFO-DNN algorithm by taking into account a variety of different objectives, the most important of which are lowering response times while improving resource utilisation and maintaining consistent load balances. The MFO approach searches the search space and provides early solutions, while the DNN algorithm refines and improves those first findings. In comprehensive simulations conducted in a real-world hospital setting, the hybrid MFO-DNN technique outperformed existing scheduling algorithms in terms of reaction time, resource utilisation, and load balancing. The simulated healthcare environments were as true to life as was feasible. The suggested technique has been demonstrated to be both dependable and scalable, making it appropriate for use in large-scale IOHT deployments. This study considerably enhances the state of the art in IOHT task scheduling in E healthcare systems by developing a hybrid optimisation technique that takes advantage of the strengths of both MFO and DNN. The findings indicate that this strategy has the potential to improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare delivery, which helps patients receive care that is both effective and timely.

Transforming Healthcare Infrastructure for Enhanced Energy Efficiency and Privacy

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is a revolutionary technique for integrating the IT infrastructure of healthcare organisations with medical apps and equipment. Rapid advancements in this approach in recent years have resulted in game-changing improvements in the healthcare system, illness management, and patient care standards. Both achievements have been made possible by the Internet of Medical Things. People can use the IoMT to access a variety of cloud-based services, including file sharing, patient monitoring, data collection, information gathering, and hospital cleaning. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs), which collect and transmit data, are critical to system operation. In the healthcare system, patients’ privacy and security must be preserved at all costs. Wireless data transmission from these cutting-edge devices may have been intercepted and manipulated without consent. The hybrid and improved (Elliptic Curve Cryptography ECC) Energy-Efficient Routing Protocol (EERP) method, which is based on the elliptic curve encryption protocol, may provide enough protection for sensitive information. ECC-EERP uses pairs of public and private keys known only to each other to decode and encrypt data delivered across a network. As a result, the energy needed to sustain WSNs has dropped. To assess the efficacy of the recommended plan, we did an extensive study and compared our findings to the many other viable courses of action. We did the analysis while taking a variety of aspects into account. The study's findings and conclusion all point to the strategy's ability to significantly increase energy efficiency and security. ECC-EERP is a novel encryption method that increases data security while consuming less energy. Because of its efficacy in improving the whole healthcare system, this strategy has a lot of potential for the future of patient care, illness management, and healthcare delivery in general.

Unraveling the Decision-making Process Interpretable Deep Learning IDS for Transportation Network Security

The growing ubiquity of IoT-enabled devices in recent years emphasizes the critical need to strengthen transportation network safety and dependability. Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are crucial in preventing attacks on transport networks that rely on the Internet of Things (IoT). However, understanding the rationale behind deep learning-based IDS models may be challenging because they do not explain their findings. We offer an interpretable deep learning system that may be used to improve transportation network safety using IoT. To develop naturally accessible explanations for IDS projections, we integrate deep learning models with the Shapley Additive Reasons (SHAP) approach. By adding weight to distinct elements of the input data needed to develop the model, we increase the readability of so-called "black box" processes. We use the ToN_IoT dataset, which provides statistics on the volume of network traffic created by IoT-enabled transport systems, to assess the success of our strategy. We use a tool called CICFlowMeter to create network flows and collect data. The regularity of the flows, as well as their correlation with specific assaults, has been documented, allowing us to train and evaluate the IDS model. The experiment findings show that our explainable deep learning system is extremely accurate at detecting and categorising intrusions in IoT-enabled transportation networks. By examining data using the SHAP approach, cybersecurity specialists may learn more about the IDS's decision-making process. This enables the development of robust solutions, which improves the overall security of the Internet of Things. Aside from simplifying IDS predictions, the proposed technique provides useful recommendations for strengthening the resilience of IoT-enabled transportation systems against cyberattacks. The usefulness of IDS in defending mission critical IoT infrastructure has been questioned by security experts in the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) industry. The IoV is the primary research object in this case. Deep learning algorithms' versatility in processing many forms of data has contributed to their growing prominence in the field of anomaly detection in intrusion detection systems. Although machine learning models may be highly useful, they frequently yield false positives, and the path they follow to their conclusions is not always obvious to humans. Cybersecurity experts who want to evaluate the performance of a system or design more secure solutions need to understand the thinking process behind an IDS's results. The SHAP approach is employed in our proposed framework to give greater insight into the decisions made by IDSs that depend on deep learning. As a result, IoT network security is strengthened, and more cyber-resilient systems are developed. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our technique by comparing it to other credible methods and utilising the ToN_IoT dataset. Our framework has the best success rate when compared to other frameworks, as evidenced by testing results showing an F1 score of 98.83 percent and an accuracy of 99.15 percent. These findings demonstrate that the architecture successfully resists a variety of destructive assaults on IoT networks. By integrating deep learning and methodologies with an emphasis on explainability, our approach significantly enhances network security in IoT use scenarios. The ability to assess and grasp IDS options provides the path for cybersecurity experts to design and construct more secure IoT systems.
