It is analyzed that many of the queries fired by users on search engines are duplicate. There is a scope to improve the performance of search engine to reduce its efforts for duplicate queries. In this paper a proxy server is created that keep store the search results of user queries in web log. The proposed proxy server uses this web log to find results faster for duplicate queries fired next time. The proposed scheme has been tested and found prominent. The proposed architecture tested for ten duplicate user queries. it return all relevant web pages for duplicate user query (if query is found in web log at proxy server) from a particular domain instead of entire database. It reduces the perceived latency for duplicate query and also improves the value of precession and accuracy up to 81.8% and 99% respectively for all duplicate user queries.","PeriodicalId":13624,"journal":{"name":"Int.

The primary goal of this paradigm is to implement efficient and high-quality smart services. It requires a protocol stack that offers different service requirements for inter-communication between different devices. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) are used as transport layer protocols in IoT to provide the quality of service needed in various IoT devices. IoT encounters many shortcomings of wireless networks, while also posing new challenges due to its uniqueness. When TCP is used in an IoT system, a variety of challenging issues have to be dealt with. This paper provides a comprehensive survey of various issues which arises due to the heterogeneous characteristics of IoT. We identify main issues such as Retransmission Timeout (RTO) algorithm issue, congestion and packet loss issue, header overhead, high latency issue, link layer interaction issue, etc. Moreover, we provide several most probable solutions to the above-mentioned issues in the case of IoT scenarios. RTO algorithm issue has been resolved by using algorithms such as CoCoA, CoCoA+, and CoCoA++. Apart from these, the high latency issue has been solved with the help of a long lived connection and TCP Fast open. Congestion and packet loss issue has been resolved by using several TCP variants such as TCP New Reno, Tahoe, Reno, Vegas, and Westwood.","PeriodicalId":13624,"journal":{"name":"Int. Arab J. Inf.

Even then the sensor nodes in the SDWSN suffer from scarce battery resources. Generally, the Radio Frequency (RF) transmitters are deployed around the base station in the SDWSN to overcome the high energy consumption problem. To enhance harvesting energy and coverage of nodes in the network, a new energy harvesting technique using RF transmitters with Multiple Input and Single Output (MISO) beamforming is proposed. In this method, multiple antenna RF transmitters and single antenna sensor nodes are deployed. The optimization problem subject to Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and energy harvesting constraints is formulated for hybrid beamforming design to reduce the transmit power in the network. The optimization problem based on convex Second Order Cone Programming (SOCP) is derived to get the optimal solution for hybrid beamforming design. The beamforming technique is used to steer the beam in the desired direction and null to the other direction improves the energy harvesting. The simulation results show that the proposed technique provides better average harvesting energy, average transmit power, average residual energy and throughput than the existing RF transmitter based energy harvesting methods.","PeriodicalId":13624,"journal":{"name":"Int.

In some fields, extracting the accurate position of bubbles in space can not only accurately capture the characteristics of bubbles in two-phase flow, but also plays an important role in the subsequent research like bubble tracking. It has got some progresses to use Convolutional Neural Network (CNNs) to identify bubbles in gas-liquid two-phase flow, while accurate pixel segmentation map in the bubble identification problem is more desirable in many areas. In this paper, VGG16-FCN model and U-Net model are utilized to identify bubbles in two-phase flow images from the perspective of semantic segmentation. LabelMe is used to label the images in the experiment, which can remove the noise in the original image. In addition, bubble pixels with low ratio relative to the background affects the loss function value tinily which cause the irrational evaluation for the recognition in traditional semantic segmentation, thus, Dice loss is used as the loss function for training to improve the recognition effect. The research results show that the two deep learning models have strong feature extraction ability and accurately detect the bubble boundary.","PeriodicalId":13624,"journal":{"name":"Int. Arab J.

Most un-ruptured AAAs are asymptomatic, which leads to the problem of having abdominal malignancy, kidney damage, heart attack and even death. As it is ominous, it requires an astute scrutinizing approach. The significance of this proposed work is to scrutinize the exact location of the ruptured region and to make astute report of the pathological condition of AAA by computing the Ruptured Potential Index (RPI). To determine these two factors, image processing is performed in the retrieved image of aneurysm. Initially, it undergoes a process to obtain a high-quality image by making use of Adaptive median filter. After retrieving high quality image, segmentation is carried out using Artificial Neural Network-based segmentation. After segmenting the image into samples, 12 features are extracted from the segmented image by Gray Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM), which assists in extracting the best feature out of it. This optimization is performed by using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). Finally, Grey Neural Network (GNN) classifier is applied to analogize the trained and test set data. This classifier helps to achieve the targeted objective with high accuracy.","PeriodicalId":13624,"journal":{"name":"Int. Arab J. Inf.

Such information can be used in locating snippets of code, i.e., localized code, in a program when transformed into an image for finding embedded malicious patterns. Keeping this phenomenon, we propose a novel technique using a sliding Window over Gabor filters for mining the Dalvik Executable (DEX) bytecodes of an Android application (APK) to find malicious patterns. We extract the structural and behavioral functionality and localized information of an APK through Gabor filtered images of the 2D grayscale image of the DEX bytecodes. A Window is slid over these features and a weight is assigned based on its frequency of use. The selected Windows whose weights are greater than a given threshold, are used for training a classifier to detect malware APKs. Our technique does not require any disassembly or execution of the malware program and hence is much safer and more accurate. To further improve feature selection, we apply a greedy optimization algorithm to find the best performing feature subset. The proposed technique, when tested using real malware and benign APKs, obtained a detection rate of 98.9% with 10-fold cross-validation.","PeriodicalId":13624,"journal":{"name":"Int. Arab J. Inf.

The Dynamic Genetic Algorithm (DGA) addresses these problems with the help of searching optimal solutions in new environments. Therefore the dynamic load-balanced clustering process is modeled using the basic components of standard genetic algorithm and then the model is enhanced is using immigrants and memory-based schemes to elect suitable cluster heads. The metrics nodes’ residual energy level, node centrality, and mobility speed of the nodes are considered to elect the load-balanced cluster heads and the optimal number of cluster members are assigned to each cluster head using the proposed DGA schemes such as Random Immigrants Genetic Approach (RIGA), Memory Immigrants Genetic Approach (MIGA), and Memory and Random Immigrants Genetic Approach (MRIGA).

Despite the benefits offered by these communication media, the disaster topic related posts (posts that indicate conversations about the disaster event in the aftermath of the disaster) gets lost in the deluge of posts since there would be a surge in the amount of data that gets exchanged following a mass emergency event. This hampers the emergency relief effort, which in turn affects the delivery of useful information to the disaster victims. Research in emergency coordination via social media has received growing interest in recent years, mainly focusing on developing machine learning-based models that can separate disaster-related topic posts from non-disaster related topic posts. Of these, supervised machine learning approaches performed well when the machine learning model trained using source disaster dataset and target disaster dataset are similar. However, in the real world, it may not be feasible as different disasters have different characteristics. So, models developed using supervised machine learning approaches do not perform well in unseen disaster datasets. Therefore, domain adaptation approaches, which address the above limitation by learning classifiers from unlabeled target data in addition to source labelled data, represent a promising direction for social media crisis data classification tasks. The existing domain adaptation techniques for the classification of disaster tweets are experimented with using single disaster event dataset pairs; then, self-training is performed on the source target dataset pairs by considering the highly confident instances in subsequent iterations of training. This could be improved with better feature engineering. Thus, this research proposes a Genetic Algorithm based Domain Adaptation Framework (GADA) for the classification of disaster tweets. The proposed GADA combines the power of 1) Hybrid Feature Selection component using the Genetic Algorithm and Chi-Square Feature Evaluator for feature selection and 2) the Classifier component using Random Forest to classify disaster-related posts from noise on Twitter. The proposed framework addresses the challenge of the lack of labeled data in the target disaster event by proposing a Genetic Algorithm based approach. Experimental results on Twitter datasets corresponding to four disaster domain pair shows that the proposed framework improves the overall performance of the previous supervised approaches and significantly reduces the training time over the previous domain adaptation techniques that do not use the Genetic Algorithm (GA) for feature selection.","PeriodicalId":13624,"journal":{"name":"Int.
