Abstract In secure communications, lightweight encryption has become crucial, particularly for resource-constrained applications such as embedded devices, wireless sensor networks, and the Internet of Things (IoT). As these systems proliferate, cryptographic approaches that provide robust security while minimizing computing overhead, energy consumption, and memory usage are becoming increasingly essential. This study examines lightweight encryption techniques utilizing chaotic maps to ensure secure data transmission. Two algorithms are proposed, both employing the Logistic map; the first approach utilizes two logistic chaotic maps, while the second algorithm employs a single logistic chaotic map. Algorithm 1, including a two-stage mechanism… More >

Abstract Medical image assessment is based on segmentation at its fundamental stage. Deep neural networks have been more popular for segmentation work in recent years. However, the quality of labels has an impact on the training performance of these algorithms, particularly in the medical image domain, where both the interpretation cost and inter-observer variation are considerable. For this reason, a novel optimized deep learning approach is proposed for medical image segmentation. Optimization plays an important role in terms of resources used, accuracy, and the time taken. The noise in the raw medical image are processed using More >

Abstract A memory-type control chart utilizes previous information for chart construction. An example of a memory-type chart is an exponentially-weighted moving average (EWMA) control chart. The EWMA control chart is well-known and widely employed by practitioners for monitoring small and moderate process mean shifts. Meanwhile, the EWMA median chart is robust against outliers. In light of this, the economic model of the EWMA and EWMA median control charts are commonly considered. This study aims to investigate the effect of cost parameters on the out-of-control average run length in implementing EWMA and EWMA median control charts. The… More >

Abstract It is well-known that attribute reduction is a crucial action of rough set. The significant characteristic of attribute reduction is that it can reduce the dimensions of data with clear semantic explanations. Normally, the learning performance of attributes in derived reduct is much more crucial. Since related measures of rough set dominate the whole process of identifying qualified attributes and deriving reduct, those measures may have a direct impact on the performance of selected attributes in reduct. However, most previous researches about attribute reduction take measures related to either supervised perspective or unsupervised perspective, which… More >
