Abstract The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) and cloud-based healthcare applications, services are beneficial for better decision-making in recent years. Melanoma is a deadly cancer with a higher mortality rate than other skin cancer types such as basal cell, squamous cell, and Merkel cell. However, detection and treatment at an early stage can result in a higher chance of survival. The classical methods of detection are expensive and labor-intensive. Also, they rely on a trained practitioner's level, and the availability of the needed equipment is essential for the early detection of Melanoma. The current improvement in… More >

Abstract Nowadays, wireless local area network (WLAN) has become prevalent Internet access due to its low-cost gadgets, flexible coverage and hassle-free simple wireless installation. WLAN facilitates wireless Internet services to users with mobile devices like smart phones, tablets, and laptops through deployment of multiple access points (APs) in a network field. Every AP operates on a frequency band called channel. Popular wireless standard such as IEEE 802.11n has a limited number of channels where frequency spectrum of adjacent channels overlaps partially with each other. In a crowded environment, users may experience poor Internet services due to… More >

Exploring the Approaches to Data Flow Computing
Mohammad B. Khan, Abdul R. Khan, Hasan Alkahtani
CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.71, No.2, pp. 2333-2346, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.020623

Abstract Architectures based on the data flow computing model provide an alternative to the conventional Von-Neumann architecture that are widely used for general purpose computing. Processors based on the data flow architecture employ fine-grain data-driven parallelism. These architectures have the potential to exploit the inherent parallelism in compute intensive applications like signal processing, image and video processing and so on and can thus achieve faster throughputs and higher power efficiency. In this paper, several data flow computing architectures are explored, and their main architectural features are studied. Furthermore, a classification of the processors is presented based… More >

Allocation and Migration of Virtual Machines Using Machine Learning
Suruchi Talwani, Khaled Alhazmi, Jimmy Singla, Hasan J. Alyamani, Ali Kashif Bashir
CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.70, No.2, pp. 3349-3364, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.020473

Abstract Cloud computing promises the advent of a new era of service boosted by means of virtualization technology. The process of virtualization means creation of virtual infrastructure, devices, servers and computing resources needed to deploy an application smoothly. This extensively practiced technology involves selecting an efficient Virtual Machine (VM) to complete the task by transferring applications from Physical Machines (PM) to VM or from VM to VM. The whole process is very challenging not only in terms of computation but also in terms of energy and memory. This research paper presents an energy aware VM allocation… More >

MNN-XSS: Modular Neural Network Based Approach for XSS Attack Detection
Ahmed Abdullah Alqarni, Nizar Alsharif, Nayeem Ahmad Khan, Lilia Georgieva, Eric Pardade, Mohammed Y. Alzahrani
CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.70, No.2, pp. 4075-4085, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.020389
（This article belongs to the Special Issue: Pervasive Computing and Communication: Challenges, Technologies & Opportunities)
Abstract The rapid growth and uptake of network-based communication technologies have made cybersecurity a significant challenge as the number of cyber-attacks is also increasing. A number of detection systems are used in an attempt to detect known attacks using signatures in network traffic. In recent years, researchers have used different machine learning methods to detect network attacks without relying on those signatures. The methods generally have a high false-positive rate which is not adequate for an industry-ready intrusion detection product. In this study, we propose and implement a new method that relies on a modular deep More >

CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.70, No.1, pp. 1111-1126, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.019912
（This article belongs to the Special Issue: Pervasive Computing and Communication: Challenges, Technologies & Opportunities)
Abstract The accelerated development of wireless network technology has resulted in the emergence of Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN), which is a technology commonly used in the medical field. WBAN consists of tiny sensor nodes that interconnect with each other and set in the human body to collect and transmit the patient data to the physician, to monitor the patients remotely. These nodes typically have limited battery energy that led to a shortage of network lifetime. Therefore, energy efficiency is considered one of the most demanding challenges in routing design for WBAN. Many proposed routing mechanisms… More >

CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.69, No.1, pp. 521-537, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2021.018351
（This article belongs to the Special Issue: Pervasive Computing and Communication: Challenges, Technologies & Opportunities)
Abstract Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is one of the leading technologies for 5G communication. User pairing (UP) and power allocation (PA) are the key controlling mechanisms for the optimization of the performance of NOMA systems. This paper presents a novel UP and PA (UPPA) technique for capacity and fairness maximization in NOMA called (CFM-UPPA). The impact of the power allocation coefficient and the ratio between the channel gains of the paired users on the sum-rate capacity and the fairness in NOMA is firstly investigated. Then, based on this investigation, the PA and UP algorithms of the… More >
