Additionally, there are a large number of ES which need to modify their behavior at run time in response to changing environmental conditions or in the cases where the requirements themselves need to be changed. Up to now, few researchers are interested in the high-level design process of the self-adaptive embedded systems (SAES) specifically in the field of requirement engineering (RE). While there exit some metamodels on RE for SAES, to the best of the authors' knowledge, there is no comprehensive metamodel that can be used as a reference for the development of RE for SAES. For this reason, the objectives of this paper are twofold, first, to review the literature state of the art and practice of requirements engineering for self-adaptive embedded systems and secondly to propose a complete metamodel (MM4SAES) that defines all concepts and relationships that must be taken into account in the development of SAES","PeriodicalId":396598,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Because of the popularity and amount of open-sourced supported features of Android OS, cyber attackers prefer to target Android-based devices over other smartphones. Malicious programs endanger user privacy and device integrity. To address this issue, the authors investigated machine learning algorithms for detecting malware in Android in this study. They employed a static analysis approach, collecting permissions from each application's APK and then generating feature vectors based on the extracted permissions. Finally, they trained several machine learning algorithms to create classification models that can distinguish between benign and malicious applications. According to experimental findings, random forest and multi-layer perceptron approaches, which have accuracy levels of 95.4% and 95.1%, respectively, have the best classification performance.","PeriodicalId":396598,"journal":{"name":"Int.

E-voting offers the ability to vote online anytime and from anywhere using a computer, smartphone, or tablet. In addition, it saves time and reduces costs and effort spent in the process. However, the security of e-voting applications deployed on the internet is a difficult task due to the increasing number of cyber-attacks and application vulnerabilities. On the other hand, blockchain technology is an emerging technology with a strong cryptographic foundation. In this paper, the authors propose a new secure e-voting system based on Ethereum blockchain. In addition, they propose a hierarchical coloured petri net (HCPN) model for their e-voting system using CPN Tools. They verify by means of simulation techniques and state space analysis important properties such as absence of deadlocks and livelocks.","PeriodicalId":396598,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Softw.

In this paper, a machine learning based predictive model is presented to help the government make informed decisions/insights around epidemiological and vaccine supply circumstances by predicting India's more critical segments that need to be catered with vaccine deliveries as prior as possible.

However, manual investigation of such disease in numerous amounts of images is not the optimal approach. Additionally, recent advancement in artificial intelligence techniques have assisted medical diagnosis to identify the virus in a standard environment. In this work, the potential of such intelligence methods is analyzed and extended by considering the optimal feature extraction capability and proposes a hybrid approach in which three universal architectures namely: Inception V4, DenseNet 201 and Xception have been utilized which not only classify the corona virus disease but may also provide a pathway to apply similar method in other medical diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":396598,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Moreover, processing of this uncertain data stream faces two major challenges, which are computational difficulty and long processing time of data. Thus, to overcome this, this work proposes a technique that employs a deep belief neural network to categorize uncertain data streams. Initially, this work utilized a hybrid method that combines ensemble, grid, and density-dependent clustering approaches to acquire the local optimum value in uncertain data streams. Furthermore, for classification, a deep belief neural network (DBNN) has been used. As a result of mining, target semantics or chunks will be obtained from the classified data. The suggested technique performs well, and its effectiveness has been assessed in terms of time and accuracy. Thus, the proposed method outperforms the existing techniques.","PeriodicalId":396598,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Softw.

The present work analyses the psychological distress among professionals residing in India during the COVID-19 pandemic. The work considers both the scenarios of working professionals: professionals working from home and professionals working onsite. The work introduces a novel hybrid machine learning approach called GBETRR. GBETRR combines two approaches, namely gradient-boosting classifier and extra-trees regressor repressor. The present work also uses a hybrid parameter optimization algorithm. Multiple performance metrics are used to evaluate the performance evaluation.
