| 1 | Project Assessment in Offshore Software Maintenance Outsourcing Using Deep Extreme Learning Machines显示文摘Software maintenance is the process of fixing,modifying,and improving software deliverables after they are delivered to the client.Clients can benefit from offshore software maintenance outsourcing(OSMO)in different ways,including time savings,cost savings,and improving the software quality and value.One of the hardest challenges for the OSMO vendor is to choose a suitable project among several clients’projects.The goal of the current study is to recommend a machine learning-based decision support system that OSMO vendors can utilize to forecast or assess the project of OSMO clients.The projects belong to OSMO vendors,having offices in developing countries while providing services to developed countries.In the current study,Extreme Learning Machine’s(ELM’s)variant called Deep Extreme Learning Machines(DELMs)is used.A novel dataset consisting of 195 projects data is proposed to train the model and to evaluate the overall efficiency of the proposed model.The proposed DELM’s based model evaluations achieved 90.017%training accuracy having a value with 1.412×10^(-3) Root Mean Square Error(RMSE)and 85.772%testing accuracy with 1.569×10^(-3) RMSE with five DELMs hidden layers.The results express that the suggested model has gained a notable recognition rate in comparison to any previous studies.The current study also concludes DELMs as the most applicable and useful technique for OSMO client’s project assessment. | Atif Ikram Masita Abdul Jalil Amir Bin Ngah Saqib Raza Ahmad Salman Khan Yasir Mahmood Nazri Kama Azri Azmi Assad Alzayed | 2023 | Computers, Materials & Continua2023,,1: | 0 |
| 2 | Encryption Algorithm for Securing Non-Disclosure Agreements in Outsourcing Offshore Software Maintenance显示文摘Properly created and securely communicated,non-disclosure agreement(NDA)can resolve most of the common disputes related to outsourcing of offshore software maintenance(OSMO).Occasionally,these NDAs are in the form of images.Since the work is done offshore,these agreements or images must be shared through the Internet or stored over the cloud.The breach of privacy,on the other hand,is a potential threat for the image owners as both the Internet and cloud servers are not void of danger.This article proposes a novel algorithm for securing the NDAs in the form of images.As an agreement is signed between the two parties,it will be encrypted before sending to the cloud server or travelling through the public network,the Internet.As the image is input to the algorithm,its pixels would be scrambled through the set of randomly generated rectangles for an arbitrary amount of time.The confusion effects have been realized through an XOR operation between the confused image,and chaotic data.Besides,5D multi-wing hyperchaotic system has been employed to spawn the chaotic vectors due to good properties of chaoticity it has.The machine experimentation and the security analysis through a comprehensive set of validation metric vividly demonstrate the robustness,defiance to the multifarious threats and the prospects for some real-world application of the proposed encryption algorithm for the NDA images. | Atif Ikram Masita Abdul Jalil Amir Bin Ngah Nadeem Iqbal Nazri Kama Azri Azmi Ahmad Salman Khan Yasir Mahmood Assad Alzayed | 2022 | Computers, Materials & Continua2022,,11: | 0 |
| 3 | Real-Time and Intelligent Flood Forecasting Using UAV-Assisted Wireless Sensor Network显示文摘The Wireless Sensor Network(WSN)is a promising technology that could be used to monitor rivers’water levels for early warning flood detection in the 5G context.However,during a flood,sensor nodes may be washed up or become faulty,which seriously affects network connectivity.To address this issue,Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs)could be integrated with WSN as routers or data mules to provide reliable data collection and flood prediction.In light of this,we propose a fault-tolerant multi-level framework comprised of a WSN and a UAV to monitor river levels.The framework is capable to provide seamless data collection by handling the disconnections caused by the failed nodes during a flood.Besides,an algorithm hybridized with Group Method Data Handling(GMDH)and Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)is proposed to predict forthcoming floods in an intelligent collaborative environment.The proposed water-level prediction model is trained based on the real dataset obtained fromthe Selangor River inMalaysia.The performance of the work in comparison with other models has been also evaluated and numerical results based on different metrics such as coefficient of determination(R2),correlation coefficient(R),RootMean Square Error(RMSE),Mean Absolute Percentage Error(MAPE),and BIAS are provided. | Shidrokh Goudarzi Seyed Ahmad Soleymani Mohammad Hossein Anisi Domenico Ciuonzo Nazri Kama Salwani Abdullah Mohammad Abdollahi Azgomi Zenon Chaczko Azri Azmi | 2022 | Computers, Materials & Continua2022,,1: | 0 |
| 4 | K-Banhatti Invariants Empowered Topological Investigation of Bridge Networks显示文摘Any number that can be uniquely determined by a graph is called graph invariants.During the most recent twenty years’innumerable numerical graph invariants have been described and used for correlation analysis.In the fast and advanced environment of manufacturing of networks and other products which used different networks,no dependable assessment has been embraced to choose,how much these invariants are connected with a network graph or molecular graph.In this paper,it will talk about three distinct variations of bridge networks with great capability of expectation in the field of computer science,chemistry,physics,drug industry,informatics,and mathematics in setting with physical and synthetic constructions and networks,since K-Banhatti invariants are newly introduced and have various forecast characteristics for various variations of bridge graphs or networks.The review settled the topology of bridge graph/networks of three unique sorts with three types of K-Banhatti Indices.These concluded outcomes can be utilized for the modeling of interconnection networks of Personal computers(PC),networks like Local area network(LAN),Metropolitan area network(MAN)and Wide area network(WAN),the spine of internet and different networks/designs of PCs,power generation interconnection,bio-informatics and chemical structures. | Khalid Hamid Muhammad Waseem Iqbal Erssa Arif Yasir Mahmood Ahmad Salman Khan Nazri Kama Azri Azmi Atif Ikram | 2022 | Computers, Materials & Continua2022,,12: | 0 |
