This research investigates the utilization of machine learning (ML) prediction models to identify and defend against cyber-attacks targeting IoT networks. Central emphasis is placed on the thorough examination of the CIC-IoT2023 dataset, an extensive collection comprising a wide range of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) assaults on diverse IoT devices. This ensures the utilization of a practical and comprehensive benchmark for assessment. This study develops and compares four distinct machine learning models Logistic Regression (LR), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Decision Tree (DT), and Random Forest (RF) to determine their effectiveness in detecting and preventing cyber threats to the Internet of Things (IoT). The comprehensive assessment incorporates a wide range of performance indicators, such as F1-score, accuracy, precision, and recall. Significantly, the results emphasize the superior performance of DT and RF, demonstrating exceptional accuracy rates of 0.9919 and 0.9916, correspondingly. The models demonstrate an outstanding capability to differentiate between benign and malicious packets, as supported by their high precision, recall, and F1 scores. The precision-recall curves and confusion matrices provide additional evidence that DT and RF are strong contenders in the field of IoT intrusion detection. Additionally, KNN demonstrates a noteworthy accuracy of 0.9380. On the other hand, LR demonstrates the least accuracy with a value of 0.8275, underscoring its inherent incapability to classify threats. In conjunction with the realistic and diverse characteristics of the CIC-IoT2023 dataset, the study's empirical assessments provide invaluable knowledge for determining the most effective machine learning algorithms and fortification strategies to protect IoT infrastructures. Furthermore, this study establishes ground-breaking suggestions for subsequent inquiries, urging the examination of unsupervised learning approaches and the incorporation of deep learning models to decipher complex patterns within IoT networks. These developments have the potential to strengthen cybersecurity protocols for Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems, reduce the impact of emergent risks, and promote robust defense systems against ever-changing cyber challenges.","PeriodicalId":130361,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Technology and Computer Science","volume":"3 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141928861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is an event when a predator targets and chases prey for consuming. The motive of a predator is to catch its prey whereas the motive of a prey is to escape from the predator. Earth has many predator species with different pursuing strategies. Some of them are sneaky again some of them are bolt. But their chases fail every time. A successful hunt depends on the strategy of pursuing one. Among all the predators, the Dragonflies, also known as natural drones, are considered the best predators because of their higher rate of successful hunting. If their strategy of pursuing a prey can be extracted for analysis and make an algorithm to apply on Unmanned arial vehicles, the success rate will be increased, and it will be more efficient than that of a dragonfly. We examine the pursuing strategy of a dragonfly using LSTM to predict the speed and distance between predator and prey. Also, The Kalman filter has been used to trace the trajectory of both Predator and Prey. We found that dragonflies follow distance maintenance strategy to pursue prey and try to keep its velocity constant to maintain the safe (mean) distance. This study can lead researchers to enhance the new and exciting algorithm which can be applied on Unmanned arial vehicles (UAV).","PeriodicalId":130361,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Technology and Computer Science","volume":"45 21","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141928282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the analysis of such systems, a closed queuing model with a finite number of treatment stations has been developed, which accounts for the possibility of performing multiple tasks for a single medical service request. Under the assumption of Poisson event flows, a system of integro-differential equations for the probability densities of the introduced states has been compiled. To solve it, the method of discrete binomial transformations is employed in conjunction with production functions. Solutions were obtained in the form of finite expressions, enabling the transition from the probabilistic characteristics of the model to the main performance metrics of the MFMCU: the load factor of medical personnel, and the utilization rate of treatment stations. The results show the selection of the number of treatment stations in the medical care area and the calculation of the appropriate performance of medical personnel.","PeriodicalId":130361,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Technology and Computer Science","volume":"12 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141926049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this objective, we present a fundamental frequency extraction algorithm and that is tolerant to the non-stationary changes of the amplitude and frequency of the input signal. Moreover, we use an accumulated power spectrum instead of power spectrum, which uses the shorter sub-frames of the input signal to reduce the noise characteristics of the speech signals. To increase the accuracy of the fundamental frequency extraction we have concentrated on maintaining the speech harmonics in their original state and suppressing the noise elements involved in the noisy speech signal. The two stages that make up the suggested fundamental frequency extraction approach are producing the accumulated power spectrum of the speech signal and weighting it with the average magnitude difference function. As per the experiment results, the proposed technique appears to be better in noisy situations than other existing state-of-the-art methods such as Weighted Autocorrelation Function (WAF), PEFAC, and BaNa.","PeriodicalId":130361,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Technology and Computer Science","volume":" 45","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141370228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Identifying and classifying brain tumors are critical steps in understanding their functioning. The best way to treat a brain tumor depends on its type, size, and location. In the modern era, Radiologists utilize Brain tumor locations that can be determined using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, manual tests and MRI examinations are time-consuming and require skills. In addition, misdiagnosis of tumors can lead to inappropriate medical therapy, which could reduce their chances of living. As technology advances in Deep Learning (DL), Computer Assisted Diagnosis (CAD) as well as Machine Learning (ML) technique has been developed to aid in the detection of brain tumors, radiologists can now more accurately identify brain tumors. This paper proposes an MRI image classification using a VGG16 model to make a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) architecture. The proposed model was evaluated with two sets of brain MRI data from Kaggle. Considering both datasets during the training at Google Colab, the proposed method achieved significant performance with a maximum overall accuracy of 96.67% and 97.67%, respectively.

Employing a cross-sectional research design, the study involved 200 fourth-year students enrolled in the course. The results illuminated a significant discrepancy in scores between upper and lower student cohorts, highlighting the necessity for targeted interventions, curriculum enhancements, and assessment refinements, particularly for those in the lower-performing group. Further examination of the item difficulty index of the assessment tool unveiled the need to fine-tune certain items to better suit a broader spectrum of students. Nevertheless, the majority of items were deemed adequately aligned with their respective difficulty levels. Additionally, an analysis of the item discrimination index identified 25 items suitable for retention, while 27 items warranted revision, and 3 items were suitable for removal, as per the analysis outcomes. These insights provide a valuable foundation for improving the assessment tool, thereby optimizing its capacity to evaluate students' acquired knowledge effectively. The study's novel contribution lies in its integration of both student performance assessment and evaluation of assessment tool quality within the BSIT program, offering actionable insights for improving educational outcomes. By identifying challenges faced by BSIT students and proposing targeted interventions, curriculum enhancements, and assessment refinements, the research advances our understanding of effective assessment practices. Furthermore, the detailed analysis of item difficulty and discrimination indices offers practical guidance for enhancing the reliability and validity of assessment tools in the BSIT program. Overall, this research contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing empirical evidence and actionable recommendations tailored to the needs of BSIT students, promoting educational quality and student success in Information Technology.","PeriodicalId":130361,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Technology and Computer Science","volume":" 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141368163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
