information delivery to improve health service locally, regionally and worldwide. An effective disease risk
prediction model by analyzing electronic health data benefits not only to care a patient but also to provide
services through the corresponding data-driven eHealth systems. In this paper, we particularly focus on
predicting and analysing diabetes mellitus, an increasingly prevalent chronic disease that refers to a group
of metabolic disorders characterized by a high blood sugar level over a prolonged period of time. K-Nearest
Neighbor (KNN) is one of the most popular and simplest machine learning techniques to build such a disease
risk prediction model utilizing relevant health data. In order to achieve our goal, we present an optimal KNearest Neighbor (Opt-KNN) learning based prediction model based on patient’s habitual attributes in various
dimensions. This approach determines the optimal number of neighbors with low error rate for providing
better prediction outcome in the resultant model. The effectiveness of this machine learning eHealth model
is examined by conducting experiments on the real-world diabetes mellitus data collected from medical
hospitals.

They comprise medical information about a dedicated task and prone to purpose with data from case studies to produce lucid results. Though there are many irregularities, the information with an adroit network is derived with a set of expert rules to produce accurate results. Arthritis is the stiffness of one or more joints and about three fourth of the victims are suffering from it. Late detection of that chronic disease may cause the severity of the sickness at greater risk. So the idea is to contemplate a mechanism for the detection of arthritis using an adaptive hierarchical Mamdani fuzzy expert system (DA-AH-MFES). It is a befitting source to process ambiguity and inaccuracy. Physical and some medical parameters with the expertise of doctors can be
mapped using MFES. The ability of MFES completely depends on the rules which are finalized by a discussion with an expert. The expert system has eight input variables at layer-I and four input variables at layer-II. At layer-I input variables are rest pain, morning stiffness, body pain, joint infection, swelling, redness, past injury and age that detects output condition of arthritis to be normal, infection and/or other problem. The further input variables of layer-II are RF, ANA,
HLA-B27, ANTI-CCP that determine the output condition of arthritis. The performance of proposed Diagnose arthritis disease using an adaptive hierarchical mamdani fuzzy expert system is evaluated with expert observations of Cavan General Hospital Lisdaran, Cavan, Ireland and Jinnah Hospital Lahore, Pakistan. The accuracy of the expert system (DAAH-MFES) is 95.6%.

Amongst various challenges with cloud, the crucial one is to detect and protect the user’s data from unauthorized accesses. In cloud, users are not legendary by their predefined identities. Instead, they are providing
accesses based on their characteristics and attributes. This work is focusing on available access control mechanisms and one that applicable for cloud environment. The paper also proposes an Efficient and Flexible Role-Based Access Control (EF-RBAC) mechanism for the cloud computing environment to achieve confidentiality and security. RBAC limits the
accesses for resources within an organization to authorized users only and also guarantees that a user can solely access specific information they are authorized for by the organization policy. The proposed scheme adds flexibility to the RBAC for better cloud user’s experience.

Websites are huge and are unique source of information, out of such huge information available on the websites, finding and analysing the required and relevant data is critical as the data may be foul consisting of redundant data or misspelled. Determining integrated record that stands for identical real world entities in abundant ways is the major problem to be analysed for any database. Hence, Web ETL transformation layer functionality of data transformation becomes mandatory in determining the pertinent information to be examined. Since the data on the web is “very voluminous” hence loading only clean data in data warehouse is necessary for fast processing to achieve accurate result. The present research focuses on data transformation in web ETL framework
and proposes a modified technique to employ token wise sentence sorting to remove redundant records from the patent database along with Levenshtein distance used for string matching. Afterwards the cleaned data is transformed and loaded from this staging area to hadoop environment. The integration of proposed transformation technique with hadoop system
delimits the constraint of data processing, storage and retrieval of large data structure from conventional data warehouse system.

However, collecting this labeled data is always a tedious and costly process. To reduce these efforts and improve the performance of classification process, this paper proposes a new framework, which combines a most basic classification technique with the semi-supervised
process of clustering. Semi-supervised clustering algorithms, aim to increase the accuracy of clustering process by effectively exploring available supervision from a limited amount of labeled data and help to label the unlabeled data. In our paper, a semi-supervised clustering is integrated with naive bayes classification technique which helps to better train the classifier. To evaluate the performance of the proposed technique, we conduct experiments on several real world
benchmark datasets. The experimental results show that the proposed approach surpasses the competing approaches in both accuracy and efficiency.

different purposes. This idea takes the users into the universe of Internet of Things (IOT) which is a course of
action and development of fair innovation. It allows affiliation, game plan and usage of different physical
things present in the propelled universe, utilizing heterogeneous frameworks and correspondence of
advances. The universe of IOT in different splendid circumstances with the infra-structure-less system
refereed as Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) prompts an imaginative methodology altogether appealing for
current customers. The monetary imaginative worldview prompts associations among adaptable and compact MANET framework with IOT shaping a structure for the data innovation. MANET based IOT paradigm gives imperative flexibility to cutting edge clients and customers by diminishing costs of associations for the significant frameworks. This leads to new testing parameters in perspective of various organizations. In this examination work, authors have proposed a controlling response for the Internet of Things structure surrounding neoteric firefly routing algorithm associated with intelligent water drop routing methodology. Both firefly routing algorithm (FRA) and intelligent water drop routing algorithm (IWDRA) performs enhancement for the customary conventions of MANET. These enhancements will give enormous advances for various real life scenarios and issues. In the proposed methodology when FRA and IWDRA were connected in customary directing convention and mimicked for advancements, firefly calculation
demonstrated its value over the water drop approach. The presented results of plan's examination give a
ground-breaking procedure for growth through different execution factors specified as End-to-End Delay
(E2D), Normalized Routing Load (NRL), Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), Packet Loss Ratio (PLR) and
throughput for the MANET based IOT worldview. The approval of the proposed methodology through

In this Study, forecasting is done with the help Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and Long Short-Term Memory Neural Network (LSTM-NN) models on the basis of the historical data of rice cultivation from the year 1950-51 to 2017-18. The well fitted ARIMA models for the parameters such as Area under Cultivation (0,1,1), Production (0,1,1) and Yielding (2,2,1) are obtained from the significant spikes of their respective Auto Correlation Function (ACF) and Partial Auto Correlation Function (PACF) plots. But, the models fitted with a supervised deep learning neural network known as LSTM-NN are found much better time series forecasting model than the ARIMA models. The performances of these models validated with the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) values. From the study, the LSTM-NN’s are more flexible and able to develop accurate models for predicting the behavior of agricultural parameters than the ARIMA models.

However, it requires an efficient and reliable diagnostic computer aided system for early detection. In this research study we aim to detect the skin cancer from two different image datasets. We also present the solution for
images that contain disk objects. In initial phase we perform pre-processing, which is followed by segmentation phase. Then candidate dataset is evaluated using different measures such as accuracy, specificity, sensitivity and similarity. Obtained results are compared with results of techniques used in academic literature. We claim that our techniques give
better accuracy for cancer detection.

The demand for water is very high throughout the Pakistan, especially where we have limited natural water resources. Summer monsoon season has profound impact in reducing water scarcity in Pakistan. Heavy rainfall results into floods whereas less rainfall creates drought which not only affects the economy but also puts human
life in risk. The aim of this research is to manage the movement of clouds from heavy rainfall areas to those areas where there is paucity of water, through satellite using electromagnetic waves. To accommodate such a sensitive satellite data which is paramount to a country, it is required to have some special systems based on quantum mechanics that are more efficient and pregnable than conventional computers. The consequences will be very high of not securing weather
management system, implies to country level disasters. In this paper we first discuss the technology behind quantum computer then proposed a secure architecture by employing quantum computers to ensure the security of data transmission for weather management system.

However, the infrastructure for accommodating these vehicles has grown
relatively slow. Alleviating the pressure on the urban transport system and solving the ‘parking difficulty’ problem have thus become hot topics recently. In this paper, an intelligent parking system based on geomagnetic field variations is presented to solve
this problem. An algorithm which detects the presence of vehicles in parking spaces in a parking lot is designed and field test results are presented. Our results show that this system has an acceptably high accuracy with low cost, high feasibility, high efficiency and hence is recommended for wide use.

Researchers have used different Data Mining and Internet of Things (IoT) for enrooting a programmed solution for diabetes and heart patients. However, still, more advanced and united solution is needed that can offer a therapeutic opinion to individual diabetic and cardio patients. Therefore, here, a smart data mining and IoT (SMDIoT) based advanced healthcare system for proficient diabetes and cardiovascular diseases have been proposed. The hybridization of data mining and IoT with other emerging computing techniques is supposed to give an effective and economical solution to diabetes and cardio patients. SMDIoT hybridized the ideas of data mining, Internet of Things, chatbots, contextual entity search (CES), bio-sensors, semantic analysis and granular computing (GC). The bio-sensors of the proposed system assist in getting the current and precise status of the concerned patients so that in case of an emergency, the needful medical assistance can be provided. The novelty lies in the hybrid framework and the adequate support of chatbots, granular computing, context entity search and semantic analysis. The practical implementation of this system is very challenging and costly. However, it appears to be more operative and economical solution for diabetes and cardio patients.

Cancer starts from breast and spread to other part of the body. People are unable to identify their disease before it become dangerous. It can be cured if the disease identified at early stage. Accurate classification of benign tumours can avoid patients undergoing unnecessary treatments. Data Analytics and machine learning methods provides framework for prognostic studies by errorless classification of data instances into relevant based on the cancer severity. In this study we have purposed a prediction model by combining artificial intelligent based learning technique with multivariate statistical method. For automation of the diagnosis process data mining plays an significant role. The data sets available in different repositories are noisy in nature. This study suggests a hybrid feature selection method to be used with PCA (Principal Component Analysis) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Preprocessing of data and extracting the most relevant features done by PCA. The proposed algorithm is tested by applying it on Wisconsin Breast Cancer Dataset from UCI Repository of Machine Learning Databases. In classification phase 10 fold cross validation was used. The suggested algorithm was measured against different classifier algorithms on the same database. The evaluation results of the algorithm proposed have achieved better accuracy with sensitivity and F measure comparison with others and by enhancing this concept we can provide a future scope to produce sophisticated learning models for diagnosis.

Accordingly, the present study is using machine learning techniques to predict the usage of fossil fuels (Diesel, Black oil, Heating oil, and Petrol) in mid-term. Exponential Smoothing, a model of time series and the Neural Network model have been applied on the actual usage data obtained from Shahroud area from 2010 to 2015. For estimation of predictive value by Neural Network method, the training and testing samples, the highest and lowest errors with a range of 41% -0.89% and 88% -3% for the Mean Absolute Percent Deviation are the most appropriate predictions for Petrol consumption. And in the Single Exponential Smoothing, the forecast rate for each product is estimated on a
quarterly as well as monthly basis.

To predict the stock prices, authors have proposed a technique by first calculating the sentiment scores through Naïve Bayes classifier and after that neural network is applied on both sentiment scores and historical stock dataset. They have also addressed the issue of data cleaning using a Hive ecosystem. This ecosystem is being used for pre-processing part and a neural network model with inputs from sentiment analysis and historic data is used to predict the prices. It has been observed from the experiments that the accuracy level reaches above 90% in maximum cases, as well as it also provides the solid base that model will be more accurate if it trained with recent data. The intended combination of sentiment analysis and Neural networks is used to establish a statistical relationship between historic numerical data records of a particular stock and other sentimental factors which can affects the stock prices.

The answer to this need is a simulation testbed which can be used to simulate the UAV Network (UAVNet). One of these attempts is - UAVSim (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Simulation testbed) developed at the University of Toledo. It has the capability of simulating large UAV networks as well as small UAV networks with large number of attack nodes. In this paper, we analyse the performance of the simulation testbed for two
attacks, targeting single and multiple UAVs. Traditional and generic computing resource available in a regular computer laboratory was used. Various evaluation results have been presented and analysed which suggest the suitability of UAVSim for UAVNet attack and swarm simulation applications.
