A Deep learning approach for trust-untrust nodes classification problem in WBAN

The enormous growth in demand for WBAN services has resulted in a new set of security challenges. The capabilities of WBAN are developing to meet these needs. The complexity, heterogeneity, and instability of the mobile context make it difficult to complete these duties successfully. A more secure and flexible WBAN setting can be attained using a trust-untrust nodes classification, which is one method to satisfy the security needs of the WBAN. Considering this, we present a novel Deep Learning (DL) approach for classifying WBAN nodes using spatial attention based iterative DBN (SA-IDBN). Z-score normalization is used to remove repetitive entries from the input data. Then, Linear Discriminate Analysis (LDA) is employed to retrieve the features from the normalized data. In terms of accuracy, latency, recall, and f-measure, the suggested method's performance is examined and contrasted with some other current approaches. Regarding the classification of WBAN nodes, the results are more favorable for the suggested method than for the ones already in use

Enhancing quality of service in IoT through deep learning techniques

When evaluating an Internet of Things (IoT) platform, it is crucial to consider the quality of service (QoS) as a key criterion. With critical devices relying on IoT technology for both personal and business use, ensuring its security is paramount. However, the vast amount of data generated by IoT devices makes it challenging to manage QoS using conventional techniques, particularly when attempting to extract valuable characteristics from the data. To address this issue, we propose a dynamic-progressive deep reinforcement learning (DPDRL) technique to enhance QoS in IoT. Our approach involves collecting and preprocessing data samples before storing them in the IoT cloud and monitoring user access. We evaluate our framework using metrics such as packet loss, throughput, processing delay, and overall system data rate. Our results show that our developed framework achieved a maximum throughput of 94%, indicating its effectiveness in improving QoS. We believe that our deep learning optimization approach can be further utilized in the future to enhance QoS in IoT platforms

A novel nomadic people optimizer-based energy-efficient routing for WBAN

In response to user demand for wearable devices, several WBAN deployments now call for effective communication processes for remote data monitoring in real time. Using sensor networks, intelligent wearable devices have exchanged data that has benefited in the evaluation of possible security hazards. If smart wearables in sensor networks use an excessive amount of power during data transmission, both network lifetime and data transmission performance may suffer. Despite the network's effective data transmission, smart wearable patches include data that has been combined from several sources utilizing common aggregators. Data analysis requires careful network lifespan control throughout the aggregation phase. By using the Nomadic People Optimizer-based Energy-Efficient Routing (NPO-EER) approach, which effectively allows smart wearable patches by minimizing data aggregation time and eliminating routing loops, the network lifetime has been preserved in this research. The obtained findings showed that the NPO method had a great solution. Estimated Aggregation time, Energy consumption, Delay, and throughput have all been shown to be accurate indicators of the system's performance

Examining the mediating role of strategic thinking on organizational performance: A quantitative analysis

Currently, private universities are making significant efforts to keep up with changing market demands and societal expectations, particularly in an environment that is rapidly evolving such as Baghdad, Iraq. In order to maintain high standards and achieve excellence, they must continuously seek out the most effective practices and strategies for success. Strategic management has been demonstrated to be an efficient tool for enhancing institutional performance, and the university's organizational culture, which is comprised of traditional institutional elements, is recognized as a significant factor in how organizations operate. Through the utilization of strategic thinking as a mediator, this research aims to evaluate and clarify how organizational culture impacts institutional excellence. A simple random sample was employed to gather information from individuals in managerial positions across multiple sections. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to explain the variables under examination. The outcomes and analyses reveal a high level of relative proportions for the variables under investigation and indicate an indirect relationship between the independent and dependent variables. This research recommends several important suggestions and proposes additional research avenues for further investigatio
