Hybrid Deep Learning-Based Predictive Maintenance Framework for Industrial Internet of Things Systems
type: item
description: The widespread introduction of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has allowed smart sensors to be connected to industrial equipment, which means their working state can be monitored at all times, resulting in an increasing amount of operational data that could be utilized for predictive maintenance using intelligent algorithms. The traditional maintenance methods such as corrective maintenance, preventative maintenance can cause unnecessary maintenance expenses, unforeseen machine breakdowns, and lower productivity because of the lack of accurate prediction of machine degradation. In order to address these problems, this paper suggests a Hybrid CNN–LSTM framework for predictive maintenance combining Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. The proposed framework consists of the following steps: industrial sensor data acquisition, data preprocessing, development of a hybrid deep learning model, and intelligent fault prediction. The model was tested with the AI4I 2020 Predictive Maintenance Dataset and was compared to the traditional machine learning and deep learning models, such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), CNN, and LSTM. The performance was evaluated based on the following metrics: Accuracy, Precision, Recall, and F1-score. The experimental results showed that the proposed Hybrid CNN–LSTM framework achieved an Accuracy of 97.12%, Precision of 96.74%, Recall 96.39% and F1-score of 96.56% compared to the baseline models with stable convergence during training. The obtained results show that the suggested framework is accurate and reliable solution to intelligent predictive maintenance and early fault diagnosis in Industrial Internet of Things environment.

Deep Learning-Based Malware Detection and Classification Using Memory Behavioral Features
type: item
description: As malware evolves and grows more sophisticated, it remains a major challenge for modern cybersecurity solutions to detect and prevent. The traditional approaches for malware detection, which are mostly based on signature-based detection and manually engineered features, are no longer effective against new variants of malware and the ones that are highly obfuscated. Considering these drawbacks, this research aims to propose an effective lightweight hybrid Convolutional Neural Network–Long Short-Term Memory (CNN–LSTM) for detecting and categorizing malware based on its memory behavioral features. The proposed framework can automatically learn the representative behavioral patterns that exist in the CIC-MalMem-2022 benchmark dataset using a systematic pipeline that includes data preprocessing, feature normalization, CNN-based feature extraction, LSTM-based sequential learning, and Softmax classification. Model performance is assessed on common performance metrics: Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1-score, Confusion Matrix, Training Time, Inference Time. The experimental results show that the proposed CNN–LSTM framework not only performs well in terms of classification accuracy but also has a low computational complexity, which can be applied to practical cybersecurity applications. The hybrid architecture is able to effectively incorporate both spatial and sequential behavioural aspects to be able to discriminate between benign and other multiple malware families. In conclusion, the suggested approach offers a promising and effective deep learning method for detecting and categorizing malware using memory behavior analysis, which helps advance the creation of intelligent cybersecurity systems.

Blockchain-Enabled Trust Management Framework for Internet of Things Environments
type: item
description: The growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) has made it increasingly important to have secure and reliable trust management mechanisms that can support dynamic and decentralized network environments. Traditional trust management solutions often need centralized architectures that are vulnerable to a single point of failure, manipulation of trust and low scalability. While blockchain technology is a recently promising approach to providing decentralized IoT security, many current frameworks emphasize only the authentication or data integrity aspects of security, and offer limited assistance in evaluating the trust of a system continuously, and in updating it efficiently. In this paper, the authors introduce a new Blockchain-Enabled Trust Management Framework (BETMF) that combines the blockchain, smart contract and a lightweight trust evaluation mechanism to a consistent architecture in decentralized IoT environments. It proposes a framework that will continuously monitor device interactions, confirm trust updates by smart contracts and save validated trust records in the immutable trust ledger of the blockchain. In contrast to the other methods which involve merging several computational methods or complicated consensus protocols, BETMF implements a single consensus process for trust management, which enhances transparency, trust integrity, and scalability, with minimal computational costs. The suggested framework has been established in Python, and tested with a private Ethereum blockchain that was deployed using Ganache. Experimental results showed that the Trust Decision Accuracy was 97.8%, Precision was 97.3%, Recall was 96.9%, F1-score was 97.1%, the average latency of trust update was 18.6 ms, the average latency of access decision was 31.4 ms and the blockchain throughput was 132 transactions per second. The results show that the proposed framework can achieve a good balance of security, decentralization and operation efficiency in heterogeneous IoT environment…

Hybrid Privacy-Preserving Federated Learning Framework for Secure IoT Applications Using Differential Privacy and Homomorphic Encryption
type: item
description: Internet of Things (IoT) applications have expanded quickly and are producing massive amounts of data from a diverse range of smart devices. Federated Learning (FL) allows collaborative model training without data transfer of the actual images but suffers from privacy concerns as sensitive information might be leaked through the model parameters. Most of the current privacy-preserving FL methods use DP or HE separately which leads to a compromise between privacy protection, model accuracy and computation efficiency. In response, this paper introduces Hybrid Privacy-Preserving Federated Learning (HPPFL), a comprehensive privacy-preserving learning system that combines Differential Privacy (DP) and Homomorphic Encryption (HE) for secure IoT applications. The proposed design allows for local training of the model on IoT devices, followed by the addition of noise (adaptive Differential Privacy) to the model updates, then encrypting the noisy model using Paillier Homomorphic Encryption before sending it to the federated server. The model updates are then securely aggregated with FedAvg without making sensitive information public and the aggregated model is sent back to the global model for next training round. TON-IoT was used to test the proposed framework, and it was compared to the conventional FL, DP-FL, and HE-FL approaches based on classification accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, communication cost, encryption overhead, and training time. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed HPPFL framework achieved classification accuracy of 97.46% compared to other FL frameworks, conventional FL, DP-FL, HE-FL with the highest level of privacy protection and moderate computational overhead. The results indicate that the proposed framework is capable of preserving privacy, ensuring effective communication and maintaining the prediction performance, which shows it is a potential solution to secure large-scale IoT applications.

Hybrid Neuro-Fuzzy and Swarm Optimization-Based Energy-Efficient Routing for Large-Scale IoT Networks
type: item
description: The proliferation of large-scale Internet of Things (IoT) networks has raised various concerns about energy usage, routing efficiency, scalability and lifetime. However, traditional routing protocols like LEACH, HEED, PEGASIS, and RPL can face challenges in maintaining optimal performance in dense IoT networks, as they tend to consume significant amounts of energy, have high communication overheads, and are less flexible in adapting to changing network conditions. For overcoming these issues, the current paper presents Hybrid Neuro-Fuzzy and Swarm Optimization (HNF-SO) routing protocol that combines Neuro-Fuzzy intelligence with Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) to improve routing decision making and global route optimization. The proposed architecture is based on hierarchical clustering network in which a Neuro-Fuzzy engine is used to calculate the energy efficiency of all considered routing candidates, to calculate the distance to the sink, to calculate the node density and to calculate the traffic load, while the WOA is used to identify the most energy-efficient cluster heads and routing paths. A large-scale IoT network scenario was used throughout the extensive simulations, and the protocol was assessed based on the energy consumption, network lifetime, residual energy, packet delivery rate (PDR), throughput, delay, and scalability. The results show that the proposed HNF-SO significantly improves the packet delivery performance, lowers the energy consumption, provides the long lifetime of the network, and can operate without any disruption even with the increase of the network size compared with the traditional routing protocols. The key contribution of this work is the development of an intelligent, scalable and energy-efficient solution for large scale deployments of IoTs by combining the algorithms of Neuro-Fuzzy decision making and swarm based optimization into a single routing framework.

An Explainable Hybrid Deep Learning Framework for Unsupervised Network Intrusion Detection Using Isolation Forest and Bidirectional Long Short-TermMemory Autoencoder
type: item
description: The increasing proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has introduced significant cybersecurity vulnerabilities due to huge data these devices generate, and the growing sophistication of cyberattacks. Traditional signature-based intrusion detection systems are often ineffective against zero-day and evolving threats, particularly in dynamic IoT environments where labeled datasets are scarce. This paper proposes an explainable hybrid unsupervised deep learning framework that integrates Isolation Forest and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) autoencoder models for intelligent network intrusion detection. The framework combines statistical anomaly isolation with deep temporal sequence learning to enhance the detection of abnormal network behaviors without relying on labeled data. Network traffic data obtained from the Kaggle network traffic dataset were preprocessed through data cleaning, feature engineering, normalization, and temporal sequence generation. A weighted ensemble mechanism was employed to combine anomaly scores from both models, while SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) and LIME (Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations) techniques were integrated to improve interpretability and transparency of detection decisions. Experimental results demonstrated strong convergence of the BiLSTM Autoencoder with extremely low reconstruction losses and effective discrimination between normal and malicious traffic patterns. The hybrid framework successfully detected anomalous traffic bursts and suspicious communication behaviors, with “packets_per_time_unit” identified as the most influential anomaly indicator. The proposed framework provides an efficient, scalable, and explainable solution for adaptive IoT cybersecurity and intrusion detection in heterogeneous network environments.

Network-Based Audience Influence Analysis Using Multiple Regression Models
type: item
description: The increase of diffusion speed by online media makes information publication and audience shaping in heterogeneous communication network more complex. Thus, a key challenge in network analysis and media-analytics research is to investigate how network structure impacts the size of audience reach. In the present work, we constructed a directed network among media outlets based on data from multiple sources on their interaction, and in which nodes represent media outlets and edges encode diverse interactions between media outlets with associated weights. Structural network properties, such as in-degree, out-degree, weighted degree measures and ranks (PageRank), betweenness centrality and closeness centrality were calculated to measure the positional importance of every node in the network. To analyses how audience size could be related to these properties of the network Ridge Regression with leave-one-out cross-validation and Ordinary Least Squared (OLS) Multiple Linear Regressions were applied. The results show that the network-based features can convey relevant explanatory power towards predicting audience size, which emphasizes the involvement of centrality and connectivity in medium influence. The Performance of the Regression The regression performance analysis reveals good prediction capacity, 0.72 and 0.74 for Ridge and OLS models' R2, respectively, as well as low error measures which ensure that the proposed framework is robust. Furthermore, influence diagnostics indicate the existence of a small subset of highly influential nodes, thus highlighting the necessity to address network heterogeneity in regression type models. In conclusion, the method introduced in this paper provides a systematic and interpretable tool to study audience influence through network-aware regression model that has applications outside traditional areas of media studies and beyond, including information diffusion analysis and digital communication research.

Comprehensive Analysis and Anomaly Detection of Network Traffic Using Isolation Forest Modeling
type: item
description: Network traffic analysis is indeed in high value and importance, because analysis appears to our communication behavior, we can make better use of our web portal for the performance of what we are executing, additionally it helps us identify certain facilitates that can put our environment at a peculiar point for others to make attacks. The study gives an overview of a real use case network traffic captured using Wireshark and available in the excel file. The records include packet-level details such as timestamps, source and destination addresses, and protocols, and the packet lengths. First, we perform exploratory data analysis to capture the traffic behavior in terms of protocol distribution and variation in packet size, traffic metrics and communication characteristics. Temporal analysis has shown the highly bursty behavior of traffic and with the packet and byte rates changing in bursts over time. Next, traffic data are clustered into fixed time periods and converted into behavioral features that which encode packet counts, byte counts, and entropy of observed hosts. We use an unsupervised Isolation Forest model to detect abnormal traffic patterns to bypass labeled attack data. The model is able to identify abnormal time windows associated with extreme traffic spikes and abnormal communication patterns. We find that the integration of statistical traffic characterization and machine learning-based anomaly detection results in an efficient and scalable network monitoring and cybersecurity framework.

Factor-Based Unsupervised Network Traffic Anomaly Analysis Using Density, Spectral, and Hierarchical Clustering
type: item
description: Anomaly detection in network traffic is crucial for the nurturance of today’s communication systems with soundness and robustness, particularly in situations where labeled data are sparse or not available. In this paper, we propose an unsupervised approach in which factor analysis combined with multiple clustering methods is used to locate anomalous patterns on network traffic. First, the numerical traffic characteristics are standardized and then factor analysis is applied to obtain a reduced set of latent factors composed of the mean statistics with 85% cumulative variance. The resultant factor scores are then modeled by Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering, Gaussian Mixture Models, DBSCAN and Spectral Clustering to reveal intrinsic traffic patterns. Validity of the clustering results is also evaluated through internal validation measures such as Silhouette Coefficient (SC), Calinski–Harabasz Index (CHI), and Davies–Bouldin Score (DBS), along with a post-hoc comparison to ground-truth labels for interpretability judgment. The proposed method has been tested on simulated and real data–sets of gene expression profiles, and Student t-distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding for dimensionality reduction applied to Spectral Clustering produces the best separation in reduced factor space, with Agglomerative Clustering failing between clustering into stable and interpretable groups. In addition, DBSCAN has a strong ability to find rare and irregular traffic cases that anomalous samples highly concentrate in certain clusters. These findings confirm the efficiency of parallel factor analysis followed by various unsupervised clustering methods in order to improve robustness, interpretability, and scalability in network traffic anomaly detection, thus validating the proposed approach for practical network reliability and cybersecurity.

An Adaptive Data Security Frame Using Federated Learning and Blockchain for Privacy Protection in Smart Environments
type: item
description: The rapid expansion of smart environments, including smart cities, healthcare systems, and intelligent energy grids, has resulted in the generation of massive volumes of distributed and privacy-sensitive data. Conventional centralized security architectures are increasingly inadequate to guarantee confidentiality, integrity, and trust under adversarial and resource-constrained conditions. This paper proposes an Adaptive Federated Blockchain Security Framework (AFBSF) that integrates federated learning (FL) with a lightweight blockchain layer and a dynamic trust-driven cryptographic control mechanism. Federated learning enables collaborative model training without sharing raw data, while a Proof-of-Authority (PoA) blockchain provides tamper-resistant verification and transparent auditability of model updates. In addition, an adaptive trust model dynamically adjusts encryption strength and node participation according to behavioral reliability and data integrity, allowing real-time isolation of malicious or unreliable devices. Extensive experiments conducted on smart healthcare, energy, and transportation datasets demonstrate that the proposed framework outperforms conventional FL-based, blockchain-based, and existing hybrid approaches in terms of accuracy, privacy preservation, communication efficiency, and energy consumption. The results confirm that AFBSF achieves high learning performance with enhanced privacy protection, reduced attack success rate, and lower system overhead, making it a scalable and reliable security paradigm for next-generation decentralized IoT ecosystems.

Smart IoT Attack Detection Through AI-Optimized Routing Methods
type: item
description: The Internet of Things (IoT) model possesses much flexibility and mobility, hence the IoT system becomes more prone to security threats such as Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks due to its decentralized control, dynamic node moving, energy scarces and bandwidth limited. This development has demonstrated the capabilities of AI in providing improvements to performance of IoT network in terms of achieving faster rate, provide more throughput and achieve higher packet delivery ratio. Utilization of AI-based analytics technology with the use of adaptive methods can improve metrics such as End to End delay (E2E) and Average Received Packets (ARP), by improving response time and increasing intelligence in Intrusion Detection Systems in IoT based setups. In this paper, we use Feedforward Neural Networks (FFNN) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to detect malicious activities which can strengthen the capabilities of IDS in IoT routing. The suggested AI-optimized routing model outperforms existing models in detection accuracies, which are improved up to 82% and 85% with respective processing time of 18s and 17s. These findings demonstrate the potential to significantly improve security of IoT systems along with increasing overall network robustness and efficiency using this framework.

Developing IoT Performance in Healthcare Through the Integration of Machine Learning and Software-Defined Networking (SDN)
type: item
description: In this era of rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) in healthcare, the networking solution must be robust and efficient for smooth data transfer and the network. It is very well established that Deep Learning (DL) is a subset of Machine Learning (ML) and has shown great promise in enhancing network performance through intelligent data analysis and making smart decisions. The wide deployment of Wireless sensor networks and Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) is why they are used in healthcare applications, as they offer low-cost deployment and real-time data exchange. Nevertheless, WSNs suffer limitations in energy availability due to their inherent constraints. However, the energy consumption in a WSN routing is a significant problem because of resource limitations. Integrating ML in a Software Defined Networking (SDN) framework shows the possibility of network resource optimization and a sustainable network architecture. Typically, conventional routing annoys most about shortest path algorithms, where nodes are used unevenly, and critical nodes die early from battery depletion. This work proposes a new DRL-based algorithm for maximizing traffic distribution and maintaining energy consumption equilibrium across the nodes in WSNs to improve their lifetime. The model proposes dynamically changing routing paths to preserve the nodes’ loading with a limited power supply system to persist the network lifespan and thus improve efficiency. However, the approach adds some hops to the average packet transmissions per hop. Still, it delays the first node’s energy depletion long enough to provide sustained network operability in IoT-driven healthcare environments. The experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method in furthering the network functionality and reliability for data transmission, thereby making it a viable solution for the next generation of IoT healthcare networks.

Integrated A Robust Intelligent System For Secure Network
type: item
description: An increasing number of assaults on network security that are related to the Internet are caused in malicious software. Firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and proxy servers that check for viruses are examples of safety technology that have been used by organizations that value safety. Not all high-priced safety features are easy to use. Having only one safety mechanism in place is insufficient to protect users' private information on privacy networks due to the fact that multiple safety schemes exhibit distinct traits, particularly hostile and DoS attacks. Integrating intrusion detection subsystems with different approaches to network security protection is detailed in this article. The subsystem employs AI techniques to detect unusual actions taken by known attackers and threats using the patterns recorded in the system's memory. Conversely, in order to prevent spyware documents from accessing the network, the proposed Intelligent Network Security System which contents intelligent web filter ,intelligent networks intrusion detection systems ,intelligent firewalls ;could detect the malicious URL and websites.

An Author-Centric Framework Error Minimization in Scholarly Recommender System (Acfemsr)
type: item
description: In the current landscape of computational innovations, the internet hosts a vast repository of publications sourced from various channels. Consequently, researchers encounter unprecedented challenges in identifying publications relevant to their research interests. Navigating through the multitude of options provided by search engines is not only impractical but also prone to selection errors – termed Recommendation Error (RE). These experiences underscore the need for novel research avenues. Previous studies have proposed numerous recommendation frameworks exclusively for scientific paper recommendations. However, many of these approaches have been plagued by RE, thereby compromising the integrity of recommendation systems. Recommendation Errors typically arise from underutilization of key features in the recommendation process. To mitigate Recommendation Errors, this study leverages publicly available metadata features, including Title, Abstract, Author(s), and keywords. Feature vectors for each candidate paper (CP) and the paper of interest (POI) are computed using CountVectorizer, and cosine similarity formula is employed to identify similar papers suitable for recommendations. The effectiveness of the proposed framework is evaluated using Error evaluation metrics such as Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). Finally, the proposed Framework is compared against two previous Baseline approaches. The evaluation results demonstrate that the proposed approach exhibits lower Recommendation Errors compared to its baseline counterparts. Additionally, this research highlights the Author(s) feature as the most influential among the four features utilized by the Proposed Framework.

Integrating IoT Technologies with Open Educational Resources (OER) for Enhanced Learning Experiences During the COVID-19 Pandemic
type: item
description: Consequently, this research focuses on the blended application of IoT with OER within college students learning in the context of the COVID-19 outbreak. As more education is moving to the online setting, this study examines if there is an improvement in learning achieved through the integration of open educational resources with Internet of Things-based educational appliances. Two groups of students were surveyed: those studying traditionally in face-to-face classes before the pandemic and those studying online during the pandemic. In the 2019 survey, out of the 912 students who responded, while in the 2021 survey, 1018 students responded. They found that an overwhelming number of students across the two groups felt that OER particularly the open online courses and the open-access textbooks were more advantageous during the pandemic. The current study revealed that distance learners benefited most from OER as supplementary sources of material as opposed to traditional learners where OER was deemed relevant for examinations and tests. Each group, however, mooted some concerns about the nature and range of OER that is available in the market. The findings show that IoT adaptation in combination with OER can solve the challenges students face in different learning conditions while increasing education access and quality during crises.

Construction a virtual central network for all Iraq's fire station
type: item
description: Fire stations are crucial in Iraq for protecting human life, property, and vital economic and religious infrastructure. In this paper, a design for a centralized virtual network that brings together all fire stations in Iraq is proposed. The network consists of 18 stations, with each station representing a governorate in Iraq. When a fire occurs in a certain area, citizens can request the service by entering their personal information and the location of the event, which is sent to the centralized network that transfers it to the appropriate station in the area. If the station is not available in the area, the request is sent to the nearest other station to fulfil the request as quickly as possible. This virtual communication network allows for better coordination and simplifies data sharing and communication between different stations. The results showed that the centralized network design contributes to fast response times, rapid response to requests and rapid deployment of fire engines to the incident site. Fire stations can also increase overall efficiency by improving coordination, allocating resources more effectively and monitoring situations in real time. Thanks to the centralization of data, all stations have access to the same set of information, enhancing decision-making, especially in the case of large-scale incidents. Also, the network design is characterized by a high level of security.

IR flame/fire sensor monitors fire, and the buzzer provides audible feedback. The HC12 wireless modules facilitate wireless communication between the Arduino boards. The paper aims to create an intuitive and efficient control system for a wheelchair, allowing users to navigate their surroundings using wireless finger gestures while incorporating obstacle detection and air quality monitoring features.

Enhancing IoT Security to Leveraging ML for DDoS Attack Prevention in Distributed Network Routing
type: item
description: DDoS attacks have become much more frequent especially with the situating of IoT technologies. These attacks are based on compromising weaknesses within the IoT network and focuses on communication links used as paths to flood systems with large volumes of traffic and thereby cause system breakdowns. DDoS attacks lean on centralized control mechanisms and less available bandwidth of IoT infrastructures and the clandestine mobility of the nodes. Traditional measures of security like password and user accounts protection are typically insufficient to counteract such threats. This paper focuses on the system architectures of DDoS attack detection solutions in the IoT networks to evaluate their ability to counter the attack. More specifically, it focuses on the function of machine learning systems, which are designed to analyze previous attacks, in order to stop new attacks. The comparisons with three Machine Learning algorithms—Support Vector Machines, Random Forest, Decision Trees are done with relation to their capability to classify invasion attempts within distributed IoT network routing system. It also assesses the methods for optimising these models such as determination of hyperplane, the clustering of data point as well as the tree structure. Common performance parameters such as confusion matrix, F1 measure, and AUC-ROC are used to ensure the efficiency, effectiveness and to handle the cases with intricate unbalanced datasets to enhance the IoT network Security.
