By Salma M. Elhag Ghadi H. Shaheen Fatmah H. Alahmadi

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijitcs.2023.06.01, Pub. Date: 8 Dec. 2023

One of the main reasons for mortality among people is traffic accidents. The percentage of traffic accidents in the world has increased to become the third in the expected causes of death in 2020. In Saudi Arabia, there are more than 460,000 car accidents every year. The number of car accidents in Saudi Arabia is rising, especially during busy periods such as Ramadan and the Hajj season. The Saudi Arabia’s government is making the required efforts to lower the nations of car accident rate. This paper suggests a business process improvement for car accident reports handled by Najm in accordance with the Saudi Vision 2030. According to drone success in many fields (e.g., entertainment, monitoring, and photography), the paper proposes using drones to respond to accident reports, which will help to expedite the process and minimize turnaround time. In addition, the drone provides quick accident response and recording scenes with accurate results. The Business Process Management (BPM) methodology is followed in this proposal. The model was validated by comparing before and after simulation results which shows a significant impact on performance about 40% regarding turnaround time. Therefore, using drones can enhance the process of accident response with Najm in Saudi Arabia.

Radio Receiver with Internal Compression of Input Signals Using a Dispersive Delay Line with Bandpass Filters

By Roman Pantyeyev Felix Yanovsky Andriy Mykolushko Volodymyr Shutko

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijigsp.2023.06.01, Pub. Date: 8 Dec. 2023

This article proposes a receiving device in which arbitrary input signals are subject to pre-detector processing for the subsequent implementation of the idea of compressing broadband modulated pulses with a matched filter to increase the signal-to-noise ratio and improve resolution. For this purpose, a model of a dispersive delay line is developed based on series-connected high-frequency time delay lines with taps in the form of bandpass filters, and analysis of this model is performed as a part of the radio receiving device with chirp signal compression. The article presents the mathematical description of the processes of formation and compression of chirp signals based on their matched filtering using the developed model and proposes the block diagram of a radio receiving device using the principle of compression of received signals. The proposed model can be implemented in devices for receiving unknown signals, in particular in passive radar. It also can be used for studying signal compression processes based on linear frequency modulation in traditional radar systems.

Predicting College Students’ Placements Based on Academic Performance Using Machine Learning Approaches

By Mukesh Kumar Nidhi Walia Sushil Bansal Girish Kumar Korhan Cengiz

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijmecs.2023.06.01, Pub. Date: 8 Dec. 2023

Predicting College placements based on academic performance is critical to supporting educational institutions and students in making informed decisions about future career paths. The present research investigates the use of Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to predict college students' placements using academic performance data. The study makes use of a dataset that includes a variety of academic markers, such as grades, test scores, and extracurricular activities, obtained from a varied sample of college students. To create predictive models, the study analyses numerous ML algorithms, including Logistic Regression, Gaussian Naive Bayes, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, and K-Nearest Neighbour. The predictive models are evaluated using performance criteria such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The most effective machine learning method for forecasting students' placements based on academic achievement is identified through a comparative study. The findings show that Random Forest approaches have the potential to effectively forecast college student placements. The findings show that academic factors such as grades and test scores have a considerable impact on prediction accuracy. The findings of this study could be beneficial to educational institutions, students, and career counsellors.

Computational Data Analysis on Global Energy and COVID-19 Pandemic

By Momina Shaheen Muhammad Junaid Anjum Faizan Ahmad Aimen Anum

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijieeb.2023.06.01, Pub. Date: 8 Dec. 2023

A global consumption of energy is primarily met by the renewable and non-renewable energy production resources. It is necessary to understand the pattern of global energy consumption in past to refine the overall energy policy for an upcoming demand of the energy market. The consumption of energy and its insights are helpful for grid management and forecasting. This paper presents the consumption of renewable and non-renewable energy resources by different nations and presents the analysis of the impact of COVID19 pandemic over the consumption of Energy. From the detailed analysis in this study, it is evident that all countries are shifting their interest to use renewable sources of energy generation. The global consumption of energy was constantly increasing up to 4% each year for three decades (1990 to 2020). However, during COVID-19 outbreak, energy consumption shows a downward trend in 2020 to -4%, which is twice lower than the decrement of energy consumption observed 2008-2009 economic crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic has seriously affected energy consumption of all countries in the world.

Utilizing RoBERTa Model for Churn Prediction through Clustered Contextual Conversation Opinion Mining

By Ayodeji O. J. Ibitoye Olufade F.W. Onifade

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijisa.2023.06.01, Pub. Date: 8 Dec. 2023

In computational study and automatic recognition of opinions in free texts, certain words in sentences are used to decide its sentiments. While analysing each customer’s opinion per time in churn management will be effective for personalised recommendations. Oftentimes, the opinion is not sufficient for contextualised content mining. While personalised recommendations are time consuming, it also does not provide complete picture of an overall sentiment in the business community of customers. To help businesses identify widespread issues affecting a large segment of their customers towards engendering patterns and trends of different customer churn behaviour, here, we developed a clustered contextualised conversation as opinions set for integration with Roberta Model. The developed churn behavioural opinion clusters disambiguated short messages while charactering contents collectively based on context beyond keyword-based sentiment matching for effective mining. Based on the predicted opinion threshold, customer churn category for group-based personalised decision support was generated, with matching concepts. The baseline RoBERTa model on the contextually clustered opinions, trained with a batch size of 16, a learning rate of 2e-5, over 8 epochs, using a maximum sequence length of 128 and standard hyperparameters, achieved an accuracy of 92%, Precision of 88%, Recall of 86% and F1 score of 84% over a test set of 30%.

Classification of HHO-based Machine Learning Techniques for Clone Attack Detection in WSN

By Ramesh Vatambeti Vijay Kumar Damera Karthikeyan H. Manohar M. Sharon Roji Priya C. M. S. Mekala

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijcnis.2023.06.01, Pub. Date: 8 Dec. 2023

Thanks to recent technological advancements, low-cost sensors with dispensation and communication capabilities are now feasible. As an example, a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a network in which the nodes are mobile computers that exchange data with one another over wireless connections rather than relying on a central server. These inexpensive sensor nodes are particularly vulnerable to a clone node or replication assault because of their limited processing power, memory, battery life, and absence of tamper-resistant hardware. Once an attacker compromises a sensor node, they can create many copies of it elsewhere in the network that share the same ID. This would give the attacker complete internal control of the network, allowing them to mimic the genuine nodes' behavior. This is why scientists are so intent on developing better clone assault detection procedures. This research proposes a machine learning based clone node detection (ML-CND) technique to identify clone nodes in wireless networks. The goal is to identify clones effectively enough to prevent cloning attacks from happening in the first place. Use a low-cost identity verification process to identify clones in specific locations as well as around the globe. Using the Optimized Extreme Learning Machine (OELM), with kernels of ELM ideally determined through the Horse Herd Metaheuristic Optimization Algorithm (HHO), this technique safeguards the network from node identity replicas. Using the node identity replicas, the most reliable transmission path may be selected. The procedure is meant to be used to retrieve data from a network node. The simulation result demonstrates the performance analysis of several factors, including sensitivity, specificity, recall, and detection.
