The data dissemination toward the sink node in a wireless sensor network in one of three ways: single-hop data dissemination, multi-hop dissemination and multi-hop dissemination, using the nearest cluster head or sector head (SH). This study focuses on third multi-hop data dissemination in which SHs are selected in the network, other nodes disseminate data toward these SHs and then, the SHs transfer the collected data to the sink node. This paper proposes a novel approach to SH selection called Energy-Efficient Reliable Sectoring-Scheme (EERSS). It is supported by an optimization algorithm called Cat Swarm Optimization (CSO), which proves that the elected number of SH is optimal. This CSO based EERSS algorithm is implemented to rank quality of service parameters, such as network lifetime maximization, with reliability and to minimize energy consumption. A path reliability prediction-based Markov chain model is applied to the CSO-based-EERSS algorithm to achieve results that are superior to that of traditional models. After the construction of the proposed prediction algorithms CSO-based-EERSS (P-CSO-EERSS), its performance is compared with that of the traditional CSO-based-EERSS, EERSS and Particle Swarm Optimization based EERSS, concerning packet delivery ratio(PDR), end-to-end delay and energy consumption. The SH selection performance of the proposed P-CSO-EERSS is superior to that of the traditional algorithms based on low energy consumption and high PDR.

Authentication is a commonly used technique in software applications to ensure whether the correct user is getting access to secured services or not. Due to the fast pace of data growth, there is an increasing need for security of online data. This is commonly achieved by the use of various CAPTCHAs. CAPTCHAs are an implementation of reverse Turing test. Turing test is used to distinguish between humans and computers. A fundamental property that the use of CAPTCHA necessitates is that the CAPTCHA must be easy and efficient for humans but difficult for computers. CAPTCHAs are used to protect the data from malicious bots and web crawlers. They are not only used in web sites but also used in banking transactions, cloud computing, distributed infrastructures and income tax services. In this paper, an analysis of the different categories of CAPTCHAs, the attacks against them and ideas and designs to develop more robust and user-friendly CAPTCHAs in the coming future are presented. © 2021, The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

The object-oriented programming is widely adopted in recent software developments. The development of a well-designed software system is needed that reduces software maintenance costs. On the other hand, the internal structure of the software system is deteriorating due to prolong maintenance operations. In such cases, restructuring is one of the strategies to strengthen the system’s overall internal structure without changing its external behavior. Another restructuring strategy is to use refactoring on the current system. Code refactoring is an effective approach to software development to improve the internal structure of the program. Through refactoring, the quality of the program can be enhanced by maintenance and improvement in reliability. Code refactoring is done without any modification in its features. Cohesion is used to assess a software system’s design quality and is the main pillar of object-oriented software development in good software design. Using software metrics, the quality of object-oriented classes that require code refactoring is assessed. This work proposes the need for refactoring and focuses on exploring how to use object-oriented metrics as guidance where code refactoring may be used. We present object-oriented software metric, i.e., cohesion metric and analyzes the need of metric for restructuring. © 2021, The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

Early and accurate detection of melanoma with data analytics can make treatment more effective. This paper proposes a method to classify melanoma cases using deep learning on dermoscopic images. The method demonstrates that heavy augmentation during training and testing produces promising results and warrants further research. The proposed method has been evaluated on the SIIM-ISIC Melanoma Classification 2020 dataset and the best ensemble model achieved 0.9411 area under the ROC curve on hold out test data.

Social media networks are becoming a new reliable source of information and news in recent days. Lots of opportunities are provided by social media. Social media provides all the necessary information required for event detection from text and images, identification of key posts and posters and devising a warning system in case of disasters. Event detection in social media is one of the important tasks in computer field. It facilitates in developing preventive measures for the companies. The event detection is gathering attention because social media is getting popular day by day. The approaches that have been proposed don’t represent the social network in a complete manner. Notable changes can be made in the social network’s context by defining an event as occurrence with enough momentum and force. Thus, our motive is to detect an event based on its necessary characteristics. This paper describes different types of event detection methods that have been proposed to find out hot events, key posts, and influential posters. Also, various models have been described for analysis of data coming from social media. © 2021, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

The internet is a huge pool of data. It consists of various websites that provide numerous recipes and it becomes difficult for a person to manually search for a recipe based on the available ingredients daily. Inventory management is a difficult task because it is not feasible to keep track of every food ingredient. The objective of this paper is to provide an effective solution to manage inventory of the user using the Internet of Things (IoT) as well as recommending a recipe to the user using the available inventory. A recipe scoring algorithm that follows a collaborative filtering approach is proposed to score the recipes and the recipes that yield a higher score will be recommended to the user. This reduces the time and efforts of the user which makes the system more efficient and user-centric. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd 2021.

This study has been undertaken to indicate the benefits of using flutter over other app development platforms. It consists of working of different platforms and their role in application development. In today's world ease of development is the thing all developers are looking for and flutter has come up with the required platform to support development of applications for both Android and iOS. Developers are enforced to either construct the same application numerous times for various OS (operating systems) or accept a low-quality similar solution that trades native speed and accuracy for portability. Flutter is an open-source SDK for developing high-performance and more reliable mobile applications for operating systems like iOS and Android.

The hand sign language uses visual-manual modality to share a certain message. Specially abled people having hearing and speaking disabilities interact more naturally in hand sign language rather than verbal language. According to one of the Census study, 2.21% out of 121 crore population in India are 'disabled', out of which 19% are having a hearing disability and 7% are having speech disability. Since everyone cannot communicate in sign language as it is a lesser-known language, it often leads to communication gap. So, the automated Sign Language Interpreter (SLI) helps to meet this communication gap as a manual sign language translator is not a convenient option because of its privacy issues and lack of availability. This paper proposes an Indian Hand Sign Language Interpreter which operates upon a vision-based approach that uses Machine Learning and Deep Learning techniques to locate the hand gesture region accurately for extracting the features and finally interpreting the respective meaning. The experimentation for performance metrics such as accuracy and loss using various activation functions helped to analyzed the performance of the model. The system successfully identifies a number of hand spelled words and thus eases the communication among people. © 2021 IEEE.
