Data Mining Practical Machine Learning Tools and Techniques

The Visual Display of Quantitative Information

Recent developments and technological advancements in wireless communication, MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) technology and integrated circuits has enabled low-power, intelligent, miniaturized, invasive/non-invasive micro and nano-technology sensor nodes strategically placed in or around the human body to be used in various applications, such as personal health monitoring. This exciting new area of research is called Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) and leverages the emerging IEEE 802.15.6 and IEEE 802.15.4j standards, specifically standardized for medical WBANs. The aim of WBANs is to simplify and improve speed, accuracy, and reliability of communication of sensors/actuators within, on, and in the immediate proximity of a human body. The vast scope of challenges associated with WBANs has led to numerous publications. In this paper, we survey the current state-of-art of WBANs based on the latest standards and publications. Open issues and challenges within each area are also explored as a source of inspiration towards future developments in WBANs.

Wireless Body Area Networks: A Survey

Driven by the rapid escalation of the wireless capacity requirements imposed by advanced multimedia applications (e.g., ultrahigh-definition video, virtual reality, etc.), as well as the dramatically increasing demand for user access required for the Internet of Things (IoT), the fifth-generation (5G) networks face challenges in terms of supporting large-scale heterogeneous data traffic. Nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA), which has been recently proposed for the third-generation partnership projects long-term evolution advanced (3GPP-LTE-A), constitutes a promising technology of addressing the aforementioned challenges in 5G networks by accommodating several users within the same orthogonal resource block. By doing so, significant bandwidth efficiency enhancement can be attained over conventional orthogonal multiple-access (OMA) techniques. This motivated numerous researchers to dedicate substantial research contributions to this field. In this context, we provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in power-domain multiplexing-aided NOMA, with a focus on the theoretical NOMA principles, multiple-antenna-aided NOMA design, on the interplay between NOMA and cooperative transmission, on the resource control of NOMA, on the coexistence of NOMA with other emerging potential 5G techniques and on the comparison with other NOMA variants. We highlight the main advantages of power-domain multiplexing NOMA compared to other existing NOMA techniques. We summarize the challenges of existing research contributions of NOMA and provide potential solutions. Finally, we offer some design guidelines for NOMA systems and identify promising research opportunities for the future.

Heart Disease: A Textbook of Cardiovascular Medicine

Traffic congestions are rapidly increasing in urban areas. In order to reduce these problems, it needs real-time data and intelligent techniques to quickly identify traffic activities with useful information. This paper proposes a Fuzzy Domain Ontology(FDO)-based opinion mining system to monitor the transportation network in real-time as well to make a city polarity map for travelers. The proposed system retrieves tweets and reviews related to transportation activities and a city. The feature opinions are extracted from these tweets and reviews and then used FDO to identify transportation and city features polarity. This FDO and intelligent prototype are developed using OWL (Web Ontology Language) and JAVA, respectively. The experimental result shows satisfactory improvement in tweets and review`s analyzing and opinion mining.

Fuzzy Domain Ontology-based Opinion Mining for Transportation Network Monitoring and City Features Map

Wireless sensor networks suffer from false report injection attacks. This results in energy drain over sensor nodes on the event traversal route. Novel en-route filtering schemes counter this problem by filtering these attacks on designated verification nodes. However, these filtering schemes among other limitations inherently are network lifetime inefficient. Generally, report traversal paths and verification nodes are also fixed. In this paper, we cater these limitations in our proposed scheme. Simulation experiments results show that proposed schemes outperforms existing en-route filtering schemes in networks lifetime. We employed a Fuzzy Logic System to select forwarding nodes from candidate nodes based on current network conditions. Proposed scheme gains in network lifetime, and energy-efficiency while having comparable false report filtering efficiency.

The non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is one of the fledging paradigms which next generation radio access technologies are sprouting toward. The NOMA with superposition coding (SC) in the transmitter and successive interference cancellation (SIC) at the receiver comes with many desirable features and benefits over orthogonal multiple access (OMA) such as orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) adopted by Long-Term Evolution (LTE). In this paper, we study the recent research trends on NOMA in 5G systems. We discuss the basic concept of NOMA and explain its aspects of importance for future radio access. Then, we provide a survey of the state of the art in NOMA for 5G systems in a categorized manner. Further, we analyze the NOMA performances with numerical examples; and provide some avenues for future research on NOMA on a set of open issues and challenges.

On Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) in 5G Systems

In healthcare services, application development is considered the most complex and timeconsuming phase. As it is difficult to plan and time-intense, it requires high maintenance. Healthcare applications need strict compliance and the scope of application is immense along with associates, classes in services, and classified system. Application designing in healthcare with the help of traditional approaches such as monolithic and service-oriented architecture (SOA) generate problems in different areas like service availability, remote access to services, service provisioning, scalability, healthcare systems integration with each other. That is why there is a need for less sophisticated and user-friendly healthcare systems, which are easy to plan and develop, inexpensive requirement maintenance, and agile testing. To overcome the aforesaid issues in the domain of healthcare application development, this paper develops a framework of micro services for the development of healthcare services using cloud computing infrastructure. Micro-service-based techniques provide lightly coupled and fine-grained methodology. With the use of micro services technique presented in this work, the efficiency, scalability, and performance are improved. In this research, an approach for development and deployment properly in the cloud for healthcare applications is developed. Thus, it contributes to the system design approach and system analysis. Quantitative and qualitative results are reported showing the advantages of micro services approach used.

Introducing Cloud-Assisted Micro-Service-Based Software Development Framework for Healthcare Systems

Advances in the development and increased availability of smart devices ranging from small sensors to complex cloud infrastructures as well as various networking technologies and communication protocols have supported the rapid expansion of Internet of Things deployments. The Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) protocol has been widely accepted and used in the IoT domain to support interactions among heterogeneous IoT devices, in part due to zero configuration implementation which makes it feasible for use in large-scale networks. The popularity and ubiquity of UPnP to support IoT systems necessitate an exploration of security risks associated with the use of the protocol for IoT deployments. In this work, we analyze security vulnerabilities of UPnP-based IoT systems and identify attack opportunities by the adversaries leveraging the vulnerabilities. Finally, we propose prospective solutions to secure UPnP-based IoT systems from adversarial operations.
