An accurate short-term forecast in terms of time and location represents a significant advantage for taking appropriate measures to prevent damage and to react and plan more efficiently. This requires a network of ground stations or remote sensing systems such as weather radar or satellites as dense as possible. In large parts of Austria, however, rough terrain limits the number of measuring stations and radar data are also only available to an insufficient extent in certain areas due to the topography. We aim to overcome these challenges by using physical data of directional radio links scattered across Austria to obtain information about the current precipitation situation. In this work, we introduce an approach for classifying rain events using a variety of different machine learning methods. The results can be used to improve numerical weather prediction models.","PeriodicalId":187055,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on Omni-layer Intelligent Systems (COINS)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123872647","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 management of this form of organization, decentralization and autonomy are particularly critical. This basic premise avoids the potential abuse of power by centralized authority because such a firm is governed by code. In centralized firms, company members have a stronger right to participate in decisions made by high-ranking administrators. Blockchain technology, which provides a decentralized form of indestructible data storage, has gained much attention in recent years. Smart contracts, executable code stored in a blockchain, are based on this concept. We propose an approach to building DAO using smart contracts based on blockchain technology, which provides the optimum conditions for the decentralization and autonomy of DAO. The results show that our proposal outperforms existing solutions in terms of team autonomy within the DAO, the ability of all company members to vote on proposals, and the members elected by the rest of the company for higher positions within the organization. The key benefit of our solution is the universal concept of DAO as a service for any firm with a team-based management approach. This platform may be used by many businesses and also provides extensive access rights control based on predefined rules.","PeriodicalId":187055,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on Omni-layer Intelligent Systems (COINS)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127788198","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 paper proposes an eHealth platform for Parkinson’s disease (PD) severity estimation using a cloud-based and deep learning (DL) approach. The system quantifies the hallmark symptoms of PD using motor signals of patients with PD (PwPD). In this study, the dataset named \"The Michael J. Fox Foundation-funded Levodopa Response Study\" is used for the development and evaluation of computational methods focusing on severity estimation of motor function in response to the levodopa treatment. The data is derived from a wearable inertial device, named Shimmer 3, to collect motion data from a patient’s upper limb which is more affected by the disease during the performance of some standard activities selected by MDS-UPDRS III and at home while performing daily life activities (DLAs). Seventeen PwPD were enrolled from two clinical sites, who have varying degrees of motor impairment. An incorporated cloud-based framework is proposed where patients’ motion data is saved in MS Azure cloud where an automatic evaluation of patients’ motor activities in response to the levodopa dose is performed using continuous wavelet transform and CNN-based transfer learning approach. Experimental results show that the efficiency and the robustness of the proposed procedure are proven by 90.0% accuracy for tremor estimation and 86.4% for bradykinesia, with good performance in terms of sensitivity and specificity in each class.","PeriodicalId":187055,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on Omni-layer Intelligent Systems (COINS)","volume":"148 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133064672","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}

Deep learning introduced new dimensions and possibilities of applications in medical science. With COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 at global level, the health systems of many countries were overwhelmed. With many patients infected, health system is pressured to correctly diagnose patient’s state of illness. In a lot of occasions, it was almost impossible to correctly diagnose many COVID-19 positive patients that have pneumonia due to many outbreaks in many areas. The intelligent system that could detect pneumonia with certainty could help in easing the pressure on the health system and make doctors focus on more severely ill patients. This paper describes development of pneumonia detection model using TensorFlow to processes the chest X-ray images to determine whether the patient has pneumonia. The model is based on deep learning algorithm supported through convolutional neural network. The model presented in this paper has achieved rather high accuracy (over 95%) in analyzing X-Ray images and could be used to speed up decision process in healthcare.","PeriodicalId":187055,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on Omni-layer Intelligent Systems (COINS)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122069204","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}

Hence, there is a need to detect these attacks and mitigate the damage. Existing systems rely on supervised learning-based intrusion detection methods, which require a large labelled data set to achieve high accuracy. Botnets are onerous to detect because of stealthy command & control protocols and large amount of network traffic and hence obtaining a large labelled data set is also difficult. Due to unlabeled Network traffic, the supervised classification techniques may not be used directly to sort out the botnet that is responsible for the attack. To overcome this limitation, a semi-supervised Deep Learning (DL) approach is proposed which uses Semi-supervised GAN (SGAN) for IoT botnet detection on N-BaIoT dataset which contains \"Bashlite\" and \"Mirai\" attacks along with their sub attacks. The results have been compared with the state-of-the-art supervised solutions and found efficient in terms of better accuracy which is 99.89% in binary classification and 59% in multi classification on larger dataset, faster and reliable model for IoT Botnet detection.","PeriodicalId":187055,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on Omni-layer Intelligent Systems (COINS)","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115399860","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}
