Abstract Recently, Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) becomes most potential technologies for providing improved services to several data gathering and tracking applications. Because of the wireless medium, multi-hop communication, absence of physical protectivity, and accumulated traffic, WSN is highly vulnerable to security concerns. Therefore, this study explores a specific type of DoS attack identified as a selective forwarding attack where the misbehaving node in the network drops packet on a selective basis. It is challenging to determine if packet loss is caused by a collision in the medium access path, poor channel quality, or a selective forwarding More >

Abstract The software engineering technique makes it possible to create high-quality software. One of the most significant qualities of good software is that it is devoid of bugs. One of the most time-consuming and costly software procedures is finding and fixing bugs. Although it is impossible to eradicate all bugs, it is feasible to reduce the number of bugs and their negative effects. To broaden the scope of bug prediction techniques and increase software quality, numerous causes of software problems must be identified, and successful bug prediction models must be implemented.

Abstract

The development of non-linear loads at consumers has significantly impacted power supply systems. Since, the poor power quality has been found in the three-phase distribution system due to unbalanced loads, harmonic current, undesired voltage regulation, and extreme reactive power demand. To overcome this issue, Distributed STATicCOMpensator (DSTATCOM) is implemented. DSTATCOM is a shunt-connected Voltage Source Converter (VSC) that has been utilized in distribution networks to balance the bus voltage in terms of enhancing reactive power control and power factor. DSTATCOM can provide both rapid and continuous capacitive and inductive mode compensation. A rectified resistive and

Abstract Nowadays, when a life span of sensor nodes are threatened by the shortage of energy available for communication, sink mobility is an excellent technique for increasing its lifespan. When communicating via a WSN, the use of nodes as a transmission method eliminates the need for a physical medium. Sink mobility in a dynamic network topology presents a problem for sensor nodes that have reserved resources. Unless the route is revised and changed to reflect the location of the mobile sink location, it will be inefficient for delivering data effectively. In the clustering strategy, nodes are… More >

Abstract A Deep Neural Sentiment Classification Network (DNSCN) is developed in this work to classify the Twitter data unambiguously. It attempts to extract the negative and positive sentiments in the Twitter database. The main goal of the system is to find the sentiment behavior of tweets with minimum ambiguity. A well-defined neural network extracts deep features from the tweets automatically. Before extracting features deeper and deeper, the text in each tweet is represented by Bag-of-Words (BoW) and Word Embeddings (WE) models. The effectiveness of DNSCN architecture is analyzed using Twitter-Sanders-Apple2 (TSA2), Twitter-Sanders-Apple3 (TSA3), and Twitter-DataSet (TDS).… More >

Abstract With the increasing number of switches in Software-Defined Networking (SDN), there are more and more faults rising in the data plane. However, due to the existence of link redundancy and multi-path forwarding mechanisms, these problems cannot be detected in time. The current faulty path detection mechanisms have problems such as the large scale of detection and low efficiency, which is difficult to meet the requirements of efficient faulty path detection in large-scale SDN. Concerning this issue, we propose an efficient network path fault testing model ProbD based on probability detection. This model achieves a high… More >
