Bio inspired Coati optimization and sparse convolutional encoding framework for intelligent epileptic seizure detection J. Viswanath, S. Annamalai, S. Ramesh Discover Applied Sciences, 2026 Epileptic seizure detection is crucial for clinical diagnosis and ongoing patient monitoring, especially for those with chronic epilepsy. EEG-based seizure detection leverages the brain’s electrical signals to capture temporal and spatial variations that characterize seizure events. However, seizure patterns are often non-linear, patient-specific, and temporally dynamic, making their detection complex and error-prone. Current methods that use machine learning and deep learning models are constrained by challenges such as irrelevant feature inclusion, overfitting, poor generalization, and ineffective management of high-dimensional EEG data. To address these challenges, a novel model is proposed in this research work by incorporating Coati Optimization Algorithm-Based Feature Selection with Convolutional Sparse Autoencoder for accurate and efficient epileptic seizure detection. The proposed model aims to reduce feature redundancy through biologically inspired optimization and improve learning through sparse, high-level feature representations. The methodology was evaluated on the benchmark UCI Epileptic Seizure Recognition Dataset, and experimental analysis ensures the model robust performance with an accuracy of 96.5%, sensitivity of 95.2%, specificity of 97.3%, precision of 96.0%, F1-score of 95.6%, and an AUC of 97.8%. These results of proposed model outperform traditional classifiers such as CNN, SVM with PCA, Random Forest, k-NN, and Deep Autoencoder across all metrics. The integration of optimized feature selection with sparse convolutional encoding contributed significantly to the model’s ability to generalize and minimize false detections, offering a promising tool for automated and reliable seizure detection in clinical and real-time environments.
Blockchain and Smart Contracts with Barzilai-Borwein Intelligence for Industrial Cyber-Physical System Gowrishankar Jayaraman, Ashok Kumar Munnangi, Ramesh Sekaran, Arunkumar Gopu, Manikandan Ramachandran Computers Materials and Continua, 2026 Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems (ICPSs) play a vital role in modern industries by providing an intellectual foundation for automated operations. With the increasing integration of information-driven processes, ensuring the security of Industrial Control Production Systems (ICPSs) has become a critical challenge. These systems are highly vulnerable to attacks such as denial-of-service (DoS), eclipse, and Sybil attacks, which can significantly disrupt industrial operations. This work proposes an effective protection strategy using an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled Smart Contract (SC) framework combined with the Heterogeneous Barzilai–Borwein Support Vector (HBBSV) method for industrial-based CPS environments. The approach reduces run time and minimizes the probability of attacks. Initially, secured ICPSs are achieved through a comprehensive exchange of views on production plant strategies for condition monitoring using SC and blockchain (BC) integrated within a BC network. The SC executes the HBBSV strategy to verify the security consensus. The Barzilai–Borwein Support Vectorized algorithm computes abnormal attack occurrence probabilities to ensure that components operate within acceptable production line conditions. When a component remains within these conditions, no security breach occurs. Conversely, if a component does not satisfy the condition boundaries, a security lapse is detected, and those components are isolated. The HBBSV method thus strengthens protection against DoS, eclipse, and Sybil attacks. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed HBBSV approach significantly improves security by enhancing authentication accuracy while reducing run time and authentication time compared to existing techniques.
Cayley–Purser secured communication and jackknife correlative classification for COVID patient data analysis Ramesh Sekaran, Ashok Kumar Munnangi, Manikandan Ramachandran, Mohammad Khishe Scientific Reports, 2025 Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is a group of medical devices that connect the healthcare information technology to minimize the redundant hospital visit and healthcare system troubles. IoMT connect the patients to the doctor and transmit the medical data over the network. The spread of corona virus has put the people at high risk. Due to increasing number of cases and its stress on health professionals, IoMT technology is used in many healthcare centers. But, the security level and data classification accuracy was not improved by existing methods during the data communication. In order to solve these issues, Cayley-Purser Cryptographic Secured Communication based Jackknife Correlative Data Classification (CPCSC-JCDC) method is designed. The key objective of CPCSC-JCDC method is to collect the patient information through IoMT devices and send to the doctor in more secured manner. Initially in CPCSC-JCDC method, the patient data is collected. After the data collection process, the data gets encrypted with help of public key of the patient by using cayley-purser cryptosystem. After the encryption process, the data is sent to the doctor. The doctor receives and decrypts the patient data by using their private key. After decryption process, the doctor analyses the patient data and classifies the data as emergency case or normal case by using jackknife correlation function. This helps to minimize the patient readmission rate and increase the patient satisfaction level. Experimental evaluation is carried out by Novel Corona Virus 2019 dataset using different metrics like data classification accuracy, data classification time and security level. The evaluation result shows that CPCSC-JCDC method improves the security level as well as accuracy and minimizes the time consumption during data communication than existing works.
Hybrid Metaheuristic-Driven Intrusion Detection System Using Opto-Romar Swarm Bee Genesis Optimization on IoT Network Data Swetha A, Ramesh Sekaran, Annamalai S Ssrg International Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering, 2025 The Internet of Things (IoT) devices have rapidly grown in numbers, posing critical threats in the process of securing networks against emerging cyber-attacks. Traditional Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) suffer from low accuracy, are not flexible and are inefficient in handling massive multidimensional IoT data. To mitigate these shortcomings, the study presents a new hybrid metaheuristic-based IDS system that combines Cat-Scale normalization technique, the feature selection algorithm: Mutualk-Best, the optimization technique Opto-Romar Swarm Bee Genesis and the hyperparameter optimization algorithm: Evalmax Hyper Net. The framework is developed to provide a balanced representation of features, minimize redundancy, enhance convergence, and learn dynamic parameters to provide robust intrusion detection. Experimental results on the IoT-IDS dataset show the effectiveness of the proposed work. The framework recorded 95% accuracy, 97% precision, 98.6% recall and 98.4% F1-score with an AUC of 0.9999, utilizing better results compared to other techniques of IDS like BESO-HDL and Modified Isolation Forest. These findings support that the combination of swarm intelligence and genetic algorithms, along with adaptive tuning, can present a better detection performance with the ability to scale in highly complex IoT environments. The results indicate the framework as a promising future-proof IDS solution. Future work will consider the deployment of real-world IoT to resource-limited devices, robustness against adversarial attack, and variants to edge and mobile computing tasks.

A Novel Approach for Mobility-aware Energy-efficient Clustering-based Routing Using EANN With GA Algorithm on WSNs Vasim Babu M, Ramesh Sekaran, Suthendran Kannan, Vinayakumar Ravi, Tahani Jaser Alahmadi International Journal of Sensors Wireless Communications and Control, 2025 Aim: This research aims to explore and evaluate various strategies for improving energy efficiency within wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Specifically, the study focuses on the critical challenge of extending network lifespan through energy conservation by establishing balanced clusters within the WSN architecture. Background: In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), ensuring prolonged network operation while conserving energy resources is a significant concern. One promising approach to address this challenge is the implementation of equalized clusters, which requires an effective selection of cluster heads (CHs). However, this task presents considerable complexity and demands innovative solutions to overcome. Objective: The primary objective of this study is to develop and assess a novel methodology for selecting precise cluster heads (CHs) within WSNs. This methodology is based on the utilization of Bluetooth low energy (BLE) sensors deployed in a randomly distributed manner across the study area. By employing an enhanced artificial neural network and greedy approach (EANN-GA), the proposed technique seeks to identify CHs with optimal proximity to the cluster center and substantial remaining energy reserves. Methods: The proposed methodology involves the deployment of BLE sensors distributed randomly throughout the study region, which are then organized into clusters. Using the enhanced artificial neural network and greedy approach (EANN-GA), the sensor node nearest to the cluster center with the highest remaining energy is selected as the cluster head (CH). Additionally, a mobile sink (MS) is introduced to harness the power of CHs, and the number of paths utilized by the MS is estimated through a genetic approach. Based on this path information, the MS enters each cluster to initiate the data-gathering process. Results: Performance analysis of the presented methodology demonstrates significant improvements in energy efficiency and the extension of network lifetime. By employing the proposed EANN-GA technique for CH selection and optimizing MS path utilization, the study showcases enhanced operational effectiveness within WSNs. Conclusion: The findings of this research underscore the effectiveness of the proposed methodology in enhancing energy efficiency and prolonging the lifespan of wireless sensor networks. Through the innovative integration of BLE sensors, EANN-GA CH selection, and genetic-based MS path estimation, the study contributes valuable insights toward addressing the critical challenges of energy conservation in WSNs.
