Blockchain-Based Digital Identity Management for E-Governance
type: item
description: Digital identity management is a cornerstone of effective e-governance, yet centralized identity systems face critical challenges including single points of failure, data breaches, and lack of citizen control over personal information. This paper proposes a blockchain-based Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) framework for e-governance that enables citizens to own, control, and selectively disclose their identity credentials without relying on centralized authorities. Built on Hyperledger Fabric with W3C Decentralized Identifier (DID) standards and Verifiable Credentials, the framework incorporates zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) for privacy-preserving authentication and smart contracts for automated credential verification. Performance evaluation on a 4-organization, 16-peer Hyperledger Fabric network demonstrates a throughput of 4,800 transactions per second with an average identity verification latency of 85 ms, suitable for citizen-scale e-governance applications. Security analysis confirms resistance to identity theft, Sybil attacks, man-in-the-middle attacks, and credential forgery, achieving resistance scores above 94% across all evaluated attack vectors. The framework provides a practical pathway for governments to modernize identity infrastructure while preserving citizen privacy and data sovereignty.

Edge Computing and IOT Security in Smart City Infrastructure
type: item
description: Smart city ecosystems integrate millions of Internet of Things (IoT) devices generating massive volumes of real-time data, creating unprecedented security challenges due to device heterogeneity, resource constraints, and expanded attack surfaces. This paper proposes EdgeSecure, a lightweight deep learning-based security framework deployed at edge computing nodes for real-time threat detection in smart city infrastructure. The framework employs a hybrid CNN-LSTM architecture optimized through knowledge distillation for edge deployment, achieving a 94.2% overall detection rate across six attack categories while maintaining sub-40ms inference latency. EdgeSecure incorporates a lightweight mutual authentication protocol based on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) for securing device-to-edge communication. Evaluation on the Bot-IoT and NSL-KDD datasets demonstrates that the proposed framework outperforms existing cloud-based and fog computing approaches in both detection accuracy and response time, processing over 9,200 packets per second per edge node. The framework reduces detection latency by 84.5% compared to cloud-only architectures while maintaining comparable accuracy, establishing edge-native security as a viable paradigm for protecting smart city infrastructure.

Federated Learning for Privacy-Preserving Healthcare Data Analytics
type: item
description: The proliferation of electronic health records (EHR) and medical imaging data offers unprecedented opportunities for developing predictive healthcare models using machine learning. However, stringent data privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR prohibit the centralized aggregation of sensitive patient data across healthcare institutions. Federated learning (FL) addresses this challenge by enabling collaborative model training without sharing raw data. This paper proposes FedHealth, a federated learning framework enhanced with differential privacy and adaptive aggregation for privacy-preserving healthcare analytics. The framework incorporates a novel client-adaptive weighting scheme that accounts for non-IID data distributions typical in multi-hospital settings and a gradient compression mechanism that reduces communication overhead by 42% compared to standard FedAvg. Experiments on two healthcare tasks—EHR-based disease prediction and chest X-ray classification—demonstrate that FedHealth achieves 93.2% and 91.0% accuracy respectively under a privacy budget of ε = 5.0, within 2% of centralized training performance. The framework converges in 28 communication rounds, 38% faster than FedAvg, while providing formal differential privacy guarantees. These results establish FedHealth as a viable approach for multi-institutional healthcare AI collaboration that respects patient privacy.

A Hybrid RF-CNN Framework for GIS-Driven Land-Use Modeling and Sustainable Urban Growth Prediction
type: item
description: Rapid urbanization presents significant challenges for sustainable land-use planning in developing regions. This study proposes an integrated Geographic Information System (GIS) and machine learning framework for multi-temporal land-use classification and urban growth prediction. Utilizing Landsat and Sentinel-2 satellite imagery spanning 2000 to 2023, the proposed approach combines spectral and spatial feature extraction with a hybrid Random Forest–Convolutional Neural Network (RF-CNN) classifier. The framework achieves an overall classification accuracy of 93.4% with a Kappa coefficient of 0.91, outperforming conventional methods including Maximum Likelihood Classification (78.2%), Support Vector Machines (84.5%), and standalone Random Forest (87.1%). A cellular automata–Markov chain model integrated within the GIS environment projects future urban expansion scenarios for 2030 and 2040. The results reveal that built-up areas have increased by 72.7% over the study period, while vegetation cover has declined by 50%. The proposed framework provides urban planners with a data-driven decision support tool for formulating sustainable development strategies that balance economic growth with environmental conservation.

Large Language Models for Automated Software Test Generation
type: item
description: Automated test generation is critical for ensuring software quality, yet existing tools such as EvoSuite and Randoop often produce tests with limited readability, low semantic coverage, and weak fault-detection capability. Large Language Models (LLMs) offer a transformative approach by leveraging natural language understanding and code generation capabilities to produce human-like test cases. This paper proposes LLM-Test, a framework that integrates LLMs with coverage-guided feedback loops and prompt engineering strategies for automated unit test generation. The framework incorporates a context-aware prompt construction module that extracts method signatures, docstrings, and dependent class hierarchies to formulate targeted prompts. A mutation-guided feedback loop iteratively refines generated tests by feeding coverage gaps and surviving mutants back to the LLM for targeted test augmentation. Evaluation on four open-source Java projects demonstrates that LLM-Test achieves 81.5% average branch coverage, surpassing EvoSuite (66.9%) and Randoop (53.7%), while detecting 65 unique bugs compared to 25 for zero-shot prompting. The generated tests exhibit significantly higher readability and maintainability scores, addressing a longstanding limitation of automated test generation tools.

The Art of Technical Debt: Strategic Approaches to Code Maintenance
type: item
description: Technical debt represents a fundamental challenge in software engineering, affecting long-term maintainability, development velocity, and system quality. This paper examines strategic approaches to managing technical debt through systematic code maintenance practices. Beginning with Ward Cunningham's foundational metaphor introduced in 1992, we explore how technical debt has evolved into a comprehensive framework for understanding software quality trade-offs. Through analysis of verified academic literature and industry practices, this research identifies key strategies for debt identification, measurement, prioritization, and remediation. Our findings indicate that organizations benefit most from strategic debt management rather than debt elimination, with continuous refactoring practices and cross-functional collaboration emerging as critical success factors. This work contributes to software engineering practice by synthesizing established approaches and providing evidence-based recommendations for technical debt management. We demonstrate that effective technical debt management requires integrating automated tools, economic decision-making frameworks, and organizational practices that balance immediate business value with long-term system health.

Ransomware Evolution: How AI is Changing Both Attack and Defence Strategies
type: item
description: The proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has fundamentally transformed the cybersecurity landscape, particularly in the domain of ransomware attacks and defense mechanisms. This paper examines the evolutionary trajectory of ransomware through the lens of AI integration, analyzing how machine learning algorithms, automated decision-making systems, and neural networks are being weaponized by adversaries while simultaneously empowering defensive capabilities. Through systematic analysis of current literature, attack taxonomies, and defense frameworks, this research identifies critical inflection points where AI technologies have altered the ransomware threat landscape. The study reveals that AI-enhanced ransomware demonstrates increased sophistication in target selection, evasion techniques, and encryption methods, while AI-driven defense systems show promise in predictive threat detection, behavioral analysis, and automated response mechanisms. However, significant asymmetries persist between offensive and defensive capabilities, with attackers often exploiting AI advantages more rapidly than defenders can implement countermeasures. This paper proposes a comprehensive framework for understanding AI's dual role in ransomware evolution and offers strategic recommendations for organizations seeking to leverage AI technologies for enhanced cybersecurity resilience. The findings underscore the urgency of developing adaptive defense strategies that can respond to the accelerating pace of AI-enabled threats while addressing ethical considerations and resource constraints inherent in AI implementation.

description: Zero-shot learning (ZSL) represents a paradigmatic shift in machine learning that enables models to classify instances from classes that were not observed during training. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of contemporary zero-shot learning methodologies, with particular emphasis on generative adversarial networks (GANs) and semantic embedding approaches for enhancing recognition of unseen classes with minimal data requirements. We evaluate state-of-the-art techniques across benchmark datasets including Animals with Attributes (AWA2), Caltech-UCSD Birds (CUB-200-2011), and SUN Attribute datasets. Our experimental analysis demonstrates that generative feature synthesis combined with semantic attribute learning achieves superior performance in both conventional zero-shot and generalized zero-shot settings. The proposed framework shows significant improvements of 3-7% over existing methods in harmonic mean accuracy across multiple benchmark datasets. These findings contribute to the advancement of adaptive learning systems capable of robust performance in dynamic environments with continuously emerging object categories.

Quantum Computing Explained: A Beginner's Guide to the Future of Processing
type: item
description: Quantum computing represents a paradigmatic shift in computational methodology, leveraging quantum mechanical phenomena to process information in fundamentally different ways than classical computers. This paper examines the theoretical foundations, architectural implementations, and practical applications of quantum computing systems. Through analysis of current quantum computing platforms including superconducting, trapped-ion, and photonic implementations, we evaluate the technology's potential to solve computationally intractable problems in cryptography, optimization, and simulation. Key findings indicate that while quantum computers demonstrate quantum supremacy in specific domains, significant technical challenges including decoherence, error rates, and scalability limitations currently restrict practical applications. The analysis reveals that quantum computing's transformative potential lies in hybrid classical-quantum algorithms rather than complete replacement of classical systems. Current implementations show promise for near-term applications in quantum chemistry simulation and certain optimization problems, while fault-tolerant quantum computing remains a long-term objective requiring substantial technological advancement.

Traditional signature-based security systems struggle with sophisticated attacks, zero-day exploits, and advanced persistent threats (APTs). This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of artificial intelligence (AI)-driven network security systems utilizing deep learning methodologies for real-time cyber threat detection and mitigation using the NSL-KDD dataset. We examine convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and hybrid deep learning architectures applied to network intrusion detection systems (NIDS). Our analysis encompasses recent developments in deep learning applications, including multi-layer perceptron (MLP) models, long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, and autoencoder-based anomaly detection systems. The paper evaluates performance metrics on the widely-used NSL-KDD benchmark dataset, demonstrating superior detection accuracy rates of 99.24% for binary classification and 98.73% for multiclass classification while maintaining low false-positive rates of 1.2%. Key contributions include a systematic evaluation of deep learning architectures for network security, analysis of real-time implementation challenges using the NSL-KDD dataset, and identification of emerging research directions in AI-powered cybersecurity. Results indicate that hybrid CNN-LSTM models achieve optimal performance for sequential network traffic analysis with 99.24% accuracy, outperforming traditional machine learning approaches by 15-20%.

Privacy-Preserving Techniques in Data Mining: A Comprehensive Analysis of Homomorphic Encryption and Differential Privacy Approaches
type: item
description: The proliferation of big data analytics has raised significant privacy concerns regarding the protection of sensitive information during data mining processes. This research investigates the effectiveness of homomorphic encryption (HE) and differential privacy (DP) as privacy-preserving techniques in data mining applications. Through systematic analysis of existing implementations, this study evaluates the performance, security guarantees, and practical applicability of these approaches across various data mining tasks including classification, clustering, and association rule mining. Our findings reveal that while fully homomorphic encryption offers comprehensive security guarantees, it suffers from prohibitive computational overhead for large-scale data mining applications. In contrast, somewhat homomorphic encryption schemes provide a more practical balance between security and efficiency. Differential privacy demonstrates superior performance in terms of computational efficiency, though with varying utility-privacy tradeoffs dependent on privacy budget allocation. We propose a hybrid framework that leverages the strengths of both approaches, demonstrating improved privacy protection without significant utility loss on benchmark datasets. This research contributes to advancing privacy-preserving data mining techniques that balance analytical utility with robust privacy guarantees.

Edge Computing in Networks: Reducing Latency Using AI-Driven Edge Computing Strategies
type: item
description: Research Question: How can AI-driven strategies in edge computing architectures effectively reduce network latency while maintaining system performance and resource efficiency using real-world IoT datasets? This paper presents a comprehensive experimental analysis of AI-driven edge computing strategies designed to minimize network latency using concrete datasets and rigorous benchmarking methodologies. We conducted extensive experiments using three primary datasets: the IEEE DataPort "Benchmark Dataset for Generative AI on Edge Devices" containing 1,000+ experimental runs on Raspberry Pi clusters, an industrial IoT machinery vibration monitoring dataset with 100 experimental runs generating 350KB per 10-second interval, and MQTT broker performance measurements spanning 360+ hours across cloud and edge deployments. Our experimental testbed consisted of distributed Raspberry Pi 4B devices orchestrated by Kubernetes (K3s), NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier edge nodes, and cloud instances on AWS EC2. Results demonstrate that AI-driven edge computing achieves 4.2ms average latency compared to 31.7ms for cloud-only processing (86.7% reduction) while maintaining 94.3% model accuracy. The hybrid AI architecture combining model quantization (INT8), neural architecture search, and reinforcement learning-based task scheduling processed 75.4% of data locally, reducing network traffic by 68.2% and improving energy efficiency by 42.8%. Performance evaluation using 22.8 trillion IoT sensor readings across temperature, vibration, and environmental monitoring scenarios validates the practical applicability of our approach for latency-critical applications including industrial automation, smart cities, and autonomous systems.

type: item
description: This research explores the integration of multiple data mining approaches to improve recommendation accuracy in modern recommender systems. Despite significant advancements in recommendation algorithms, challenges persist in addressing the cold-start problem, data sparsity, and preference volatility. This study investigates how hybrid techniques combining collaborative filtering, content-based filtering, and knowledge-based approaches can overcome these limitations. Using a comprehensive dataset from an e-commerce platform with 2.3 million user-item interactions, we implemented a novel hybrid framework that dynamically switches between recommendation strategies based on contextual factors. Results demonstrate that our hybrid approach achieves a 27.4% improvement in recommendation accuracy compared to single-method approaches, with particularly strong performance in cold-start scenarios (41.2% improvement). The findings contribute to recommender systems theory by establishing an adaptive framework that optimizes recommendation strategies based on real-time data characteristics and user behavior patterns. This research has significant implications for e-commerce platforms, digital content providers, and social networks seeking to enhance user experience through more accurate and contextually relevant recommendations.

Development of Explainable AI (XAI) Based Model for Prediction of Heavy/High Impact Rain Events Using Satellite Data
type: item
description: A significant development in meteorological science has been the creation of Explainable AI (XAI) models that use satellite data to predict heavy/high-impact rain events. There is a growing demand for predictive models that not only provide accurate forecasts but also provide insights into the underlying decision-making process due to the increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather patterns. It is difficult to use traditional machine learning (ML) models in high-stakes situations like weather forecasting due to their lack of transparency. XAI fills this void by improving the interpretability of models, which is essential for comprehending the factors that lead to extreme rainfall events. This paper looks at how convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and hybrid models can be used to combine satellite-based data with XAI models to predict heavy rain events. The spatiotemporal transformer framework, attention mechanisms, and capsule networks are some of the cutting-edge deep learning architectures that we are looking into for ways to boost prediction accuracy and dependability. The study also emphasizes how model explainability helps end-users like meteorologists, emergency response teams, and policymakers build trust. This study aims to provide a comprehensive framework for deploying satellite-driven rain prediction models in real-world applications by examining recent advancements in XAI for climate risk assessment. In addition, we address issues related to data quality, model interpretability, computational efficiency, and scalability when integrating these models with existing weather forecasting systems. The findings suggest that XAI models have a lot of potential to change weather forecasting practices by making it easier to be prepared for extreme rainfall events and providing clear insights into the decisions made by the models. This paper paves the way for the widespread use of weather prediction tools that are more re…

description: In the evolving landscape of customer service, understanding the emotional tone of interactions is vital for delivering empathetic, efficient, and personalized support. This thesis proposes a real-time sentiment analysis system for incoming helpdesk calls, transforming raw audio into actionable emotional insights. The framework integrates Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) to transcribe calls, followed by Natural Language Processing (NLP) and machine learning-based sentiment analysis to classify emotions as positive, negative, or neutral. The system architecture features a Python- based backend pipeline, a Flutter-based customer feedback interface, and a JavaScript- driven admin dashboard for real-time monitoring. Hybrid modeling approaches—combining lexicon-based methods, traditional machine learning algorithms, and deep learning models like Transformers—are used to capture both linguistic and acoustic sentiment features. The system facilitates early detection of customer dissatisfaction, optimizes call handling, and identifies recurring issues and sentiment trends. Performance evaluation with synthetic data demonstrates its reliability and responsiveness. Key challenges addressed include transcription accuracy, emotional nuance detection, and ethical concerns related to privacy and bias. Future enhancements aim to support multilingual sentiment analysis, CRM integration, and finer-grained emotion detection, offering a scalable and ethically sound framework for embedding emotional intelligence into helpdesk operations.
