This paper presents an implementation of an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) aiming to secure the AODV protocol designed for MANET. The IDS is designed as multiple static agents that run on a subset of the nodes in the network and executes a monitoring protocol that observes the process of route establishment. The monitoring protocol uses specification based intrusion detection to identify misuses to the routing messages. The IDS design is a correlation of previous work done in the field of MANET security. The IDS is implemented using ns-2 simulator and its ability to detect attacks was tested using previously devised attack scripts. Detailed specification for the runtime behavior of the AODV protocol was derived in the process of implementation.
Breast cancer is a gigantic burden on humanity, causing the loss of enormous numbers of lives and amounts of money. It is the world’s leading type of cancer among women and a leading cause of mortality and morbidity. The histopathological examination of breast tissue biopsies is the gold standard for diagnosis. In this paper, a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system based on deep learning is developed to ease the pathologist’s mission. For this target, five pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) models are analyzed and tested—Xception, DenseNet201, InceptionResNetV2, VGG19, and ResNet152—with the help of data augmentation techniques, and a new approach is introduced for transfer learning. These models are trained and tested with histopathological images obtained from the BreakHis dataset. Multiple experiments are performed to analyze the performance of these models through carrying out magnification-dependent and magnification-independent binary and eight-class classifications. The Xception model has shown promising performance through achieving the highest classification accuracies for all the experiments. It has achieved a range of classification accuracies from 93.32% to 98.99% for magnification-independent experiments and from 90.22% to 100% for magnification-dependent experiments.
This paper describes efforts by National Authority for Remote Sensing and Space Sciences (NARSS) to help the Egyptian government to manage and monitor the national projects. We successfully developed a geospatial data sharing portal (NARSSGeoPortal) as part of the government need to build national Decision Support System (DSS). We were able to solve the software development issues as well as the satellite imagery sourcing issues, but the main challenge remains around how to collect complete and correct data from the public about their private businesses nationwide. The most challenging is how to engage the public and encourage the business owners who are the main sources of data to provide the government Geoportal with data about their businesses. It is also challenging to engage the scientists and experts from government research centers into the data sharing Geoportal. Furthermore, it is a challenge to integrate the government research centers with the public businesses’ daily operation. The data sharing Geoportal is built for all national projects and government authorities, however, in this paper we focus on the Agriculture authorities and farming businesses where the challenge is how to collect correct and complete data per acre about the seeds, fertilizers, water, pest control and all other farm related data that the satellite imagery does not provide. The goal is to integrate the farms into unified national monitoring, and control system while developing advanced smart farms with the use of Internet of Things (IoT). The proposed collaboration agriculture platform fills the gap between two groups. The first group includes the government authorities, financial institutions, and research centers. The second group includes farmers, supply chain, and agriculture engineers. The platform show how employment can be generated by transforming the national ecosystem. The paper also fills a major gap in industry as well as in academia by providing the first Bluetooth Low Energy computer aided design tool that will facilitate testing, designing, deploying, managing and debugging of real Bluetooth Low Energy networks.
Traffic modeling is an important tool for performance evaluation of networks. Over the last decade traffic characterization studies revealed the presence of different types of correlations in Internet traffic. In this paper we present traffic modeling methodology by aggregates of bytes using the / / M G ∞ process for capturing traffic correlations. We use recent traffic traces to construct / / M G ∞ traffic models, and we evaluate the generated traffic both statistically and by simulation in network environment. We show limitations of bytes aggregates models, and we conclude by propositions to obtain more accurate models.
We present a fixed point approach to evaluate the quality of service of streaming traffic multiplexed with elastic traffic in multi-service networks. First, we handle elastic traffic and streaming traffic separately, and then we derive a general fixed point formulation integrating both types of traffic in best effort networks. Then, we extend the application of this formulation to multi-service networks where priorities and bandwidth sharing schemes can be applied to different flows. Our approach is mainly oriented towards very large scale networks where traditional simulation techniques are not scalable, and where a large number of flows have to be evaluated in reasonable time. We assess the accuracy of our approach by means of event-driven simulations.
