The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has shed light on the urgency of bridging the digital divide to guarantee equity in the fruition of different services by all citizens. The inability to access the digital world may be due to a lack of network infrastr...
Social media usage is increasing at a rapid rate. Everyday users are leaving a substantial amount of data as artifacts in these applications. As the size and velocity of data increase, innovative technologies such as Web Storage and IndexedDB are eme...
The study of the behaviors of large community of researchers and what correlations exist between their environment, such as grouping rules by law or specific institution policies, and their performance is an important topic since it affects the metri...
The Internet of Battlefield Things is a newly born cyberphysical system and, even though it shares a lot with the Internet of Things and with ad hoc networking, substantial research is required to cope with its scale and peculiarities. This article e...
In the last few years, researchers from many research fields are investigating the problem affecting all the drivers in big and populated cities: the parking problem. In outdoor environments, the problem can be solved by relying on vehicular ad hoc n...
Nowadays, the Long-Term Evolution-Advanced system is widely used to provide 5G communication due to its improved network capacity and less delay during communication. The main issues in the 5G network are insufficient user resources and burst errors,...
Breathing is essential for human life. Issues related to respiration can be an indicator of problems related to the cardiorespiratory system; thus, accurate breathing monitoring is fundamental for establishing the patient’s condition. This pape...
Simulating blockchain technology within the IoT has never been as important. Along with this comes the need to find suitable blockchain simulators capable of simulating blockchain networks within an IoT environment. Despite there being a wide variety...
Futures price-movement-direction forecasting has always been a significant and challenging subject in the financial market. In this paper, we propose a combination approach that integrates the XGBoost (eXtreme Gradient Boosting), SMOTE (Synthetic Min...
Process mining aims to gain knowledge of business processes via the discovery of process models from event logs generated by information systems. The insights revealed from process mining heavily rely on the quality of the event logs. Activities extr...
Feature selection can efficiently improve classification accuracy and reduce the dimension of datasets. However, feature selection is a challenging and complex task that requires a high-performance optimization algorithm. In this paper, we propose an...
Providing convenient and effective online education is important for the public to be better prepared for disaster events. Nonetheless, the effectiveness of such education is questionable due to the limited use of online tools and platforms, which al...
In 21st-century society, with the rapid development of information technology, the scientific and technological strength of all walks of life is increasing, and the field of education has also begun to introduce high and new technologies gradually. A...
The graphical page object detection classifies and localizes objects such as Tables and Figures in a document. As deep learning techniques for object detection become increasingly successful, many supervised deep neural network-based methods have bee...
Whereas the use of distributed ledger technologies has previously been limited to cryptocurrencies, other sectors—such as healthcare, supply chain, and finance—can now benefit from them because of bitcoin scripts and smart contracts. Howe...
The Internet, and specifically the World Wide Web, has always been a useful tool in the effort to achieve more outward-looking economies. The launch of the .eu TLD (top-level domain) in December of 2005 introduced the concept of a pan-European Intern...
Many IoT use cases can benefit from group communication, where a user requests an IoT resource and this request can be handled by multiple IoT devices, each of which may respond back to the user. IoT group communication involves one-to-many requests...
The automotive industry is marching towards cleaner energy in the impending future. The need for cleaner energy is promoted by the government to a large degree in the global market in order to reduce pollution. Automobiles contribute to an upper scal...
The accurate prediction of sea surface temperature (SST) is the basis for our understanding of local and global climate characteristics. At present, the existing sea temperature prediction methods fail to take full advantage of the potential spatial...
Following the rapid spread of COVID-19 to all the world, most countries decided to temporarily close their educational institutions. Consequently, distance education opportunities have been created for education continuity. The abrupt change presente...
In terms of indoor and outdoor positioning, in recent years, researchers at home and abroad have proposed some multisource integrated navigation and positioning methods, but these methods are navigation and positioning methods for a single scene. Whe...
Detecting tax fraud is a top objective for practically all tax agencies in order to maximize revenues and maintain a high level of compliance. Data mining, machine learning, and other approaches such as traditional random auditing have been used in m...
In recent years, the use of personal data in marketing, scientific and medical investigation, and forecasting future trends has really increased. This information is used by the government, companies, and individuals, and should not contain any sensi...
Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) applications demand significant communication, computing and caching resources to support an efficient amalgamation of augmented reality objects (AROs) with the physical world in multiple video view streams. In this pap...
The digital transformation of businesses and services is currently in full force, opening the world to a new set of unique challenges and opportunities. In this context, 6G promises to be the set of technologies, architectures, and paradigms that wil...
The design of existing machine-learning-based DoS detection systems in software-defined networking (SDN) suffers from two major problems. First, the proper time window for conducting network traffic analysis is unknown and has proven challenging to d...
In microfinance, with more loans, there is a high risk of increasing overdue loans by overloading the resources available to take actions on the repayment. So, three experiments were conducted to search for a distribution of the loans through the off...
The disruptive impact of blockchain technologies can be felt across numerous industries as it threatens to disrupt existing business models and economic structures. To better understand this impact, academic researchers regularly apply well-establish...
Huge advances in peer-to-peer systems and attempts to develop the semantic web have revealed a critical issue in information systems across multiple domains: the absence of semantic interoperability. Today, businesses operating in a digital environme...
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) represents a reasonable countermeasure to the advent of Quantum Computing and its impact on current public-key cryptography. So far, considerable efforts have been devoted to investigate possible application scenarios f...
