| 2023 | K-Nearest Neighbor Algorithm for Efficient Heart Disease Classification SystemabstractHealthcare is considered significant topic in the recent research area. However, one of the most commonly diseases which is heart diseases disease. The possibility of early detection to reduce the number of deaths because it is difficult to predict a heart disorder quickly. Recently, many researchers focused on the implementation of several feature extraction techniques and the help of artificial intelligence algorithms to classify this disease, but classification accuracy remained the only difference between these studies. In this paper, the proposed work for the classification of heart diseases was implemented and tested after selecting methods and techniques for data pre-processing and extracting important features that led to obtaining a competitive classification accuracy that reached higher than 93.5% compared to related studies. This finding encourages us and other field researchers to use methods for feature extraction and other strategies described in this paper to classify other diseases.

| 2023 | Detection of Autism Spectrum Disorder by Using Common Machine Learning AlgorithmsabstractCommunication, social interaction, behavior, and sensory processing are all negatively impacted by the neurodevelopmental disease known as autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The word "spectrum" is included in the name because there is such a broad variety of symptoms and degrees of impairment. The health and well-being of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be greatly improved by early diagnosis and intervention. The current detection techniques are based on the opinion of specialists, which is subjective and expensive. In this research, we suggest a machine learning strategy for ASD diagnosis that incorporates a suite of machine learning techniques. Using it has the potential to save money and increase detection efficiency. To begin, we performed pre-processing to extract characteristics from the data. Then, classify the data with a 0.997% accuracy using four machine learning (ML)-based methods: The Random Forest, logistic regression, support vector machine (SVM) and K-nearest neighbors algorithm (KNN). The findings of this research provide promising evidence for the efficacy of the machine learning classification technique used to diagnose ASD at an early age. Anas D. Sallibi, Khattab M.

| 2021 | An Efficient Intelligent Intrusion Detection System for Internet of ThingsabstractThe Internet of things (IoT) allows billions of computer and networking devices to be interconnected. Digital entities such as sensors, Radio-frequency identification (RFID), Internet and localization technologies enable everyday objects to be transformed into intelligent objects, which can communicate with one another. The built-in sensors in intelligent objects track and collect various types of data about equipment, the environment and human social life. Although the IoT is useful, safety susceptibility is a major concern. There are universal and continuous interconnections between people, devices, sensors and services. Even if the security system is well built, smartly configured, implemented effectively and managed correctly, it must be human-made and are not resistant to security threats. Therefore, the conception of cyber security solutions requires a human element. To fight attacks, this paper presents an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) based on Smart Techniques such as k-nearest neighbors (KNN) and Random Forest (RF) algorithms which take data as input for spotting harmful activities. The methodology of IDS was created for identifying malicious activities of network traffic utilizing a set of features. Designing efficient IDS involves a data source that incorporates a collection of attributes for evaluating its performance while identifying normal and attack instances. This is one of the challenges that we strive to address in this study. Based on KNN and RF algorithms has presented a collection of features for spotting harmful activities that take advantage of IoT applications to utilize these procedures. The data sources are taken from the UNSW-NB15 source files. Zainab Hussam Abdaljabar, Osman N. Uçan, Khattab M. Ali Alheeti |

| 2019 | ECG Waveform Encryption Using Shifted FFT and DWTabstractRecently, millions of medical information passed different media to reach their destination without any error. The introduction of advanced media including communications, wireless networks, mobile networks and Internet offer wide range of e-health application. Electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform is an important issue in e-health in which it recognizes the heart activities and it gives an efficient indication about the patient. The most important issue of ECG waveform is to transmit and receive this waveform with an efficient way. This means ECG waveform must reach its destination secure and accurate. The implemented approach introduces an efficient way for compression and encryption of ECG waveform. This approach based on both discrete wavelet transforms (DWT) and shifted fast Fourier transform (FFT). The obtained results indicated that there is 100% of similarity between transmitted and received signal in addition there is a compression ratio of ¼ when applying second level DWT. Khattab M.

| 2015 | An intrusion detection system against malicious attacks on the communication network of driverless carsabstractVehicular ad hoc networking (VANET) have become a significant technology in the current years because of the emerging generation of self-driving cars such as Google driverless cars. VANET have more vulnerabilities compared to other networks such as wired networks, because these networks are an autonomous collection of mobile vehicles and there is no fixed security infrastructure, no high dynamic topology and the open wireless medium makes them more vulnerable to attacks. It is important to design new approaches and mechanisms to rise the security these networks and protect them from attacks. In this paper, we design an intrusion detection mechanism for the VANETs using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) to detect Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. The main role of IDS is to detect the attack using a data generated from the network behavior such as a trace file. The IDSs use the features extracted from the trace file as auditable data. In this paper, we propose anomaly and misuse detection to detect the malicious attack. Khattab M. Ali Alheeti, Anna Gruebler, Klaus D. McDonald-Maier |

| 2011 | A Novel Approach of Large-Scale Exchange and Its Effect on E-Commerce UsabilityabstractExpansion in the use of the World Wide Web led to the creation of a new phenomenon in our daily life which is a phenomenon of electronic commerce. E-commerce is generally known as any form of trade or administration or exchanging of information that are conducted by using information and communication technologies. Capacity of electronic commerce is expected to grow rapidly, and play a vital role as a major means of doing business in the digital world. This study aims to sophisticate and increase the distribution of E-commerce by eliminating one of the main obstacles that stand against the deployment and development of electronic commerce, such as, reliability. Thus the customer or company will assure of a selling or purchase depending on the new protocol which is called B2B2C. This protocol will support the kinds of electronic commerce by a new one which will be a third party mediator. The inclusion of this mediator will increase the safety and reliability of business exchanging through depending on more reliable policies and eliminate the problem of low usage Arabic. Therefore, e-commerce will be increased despite that some developing countries now are virtually non-existent according to the current statistics. Khattab M. Ali Alheeti |
