This is due to the fact that cities are living entities with a great number of variables and different sectors of action, among other things. Therefore, Therefore, the analysis is done to summarize the present state for understanding the notion of smart cities and propose communication platform for developing it.
Exploring the Literature of Data Analytics Services on Cloud Computing: A Comprehensive Summary Safa S. Abdul-Jabbar, Alaa k. Farhan Iraqi Journal of Science, 2024 Data generated from the internet and modern applications is extensive and rapidly expanding. So, all modern applications must successfully perform tasks using this massive data. Therefore, one of the significant factors for the success of any application is understanding and extracting meaningful information using digital analytics tools to positively impact the application's performance and deal with challenges that can be encountered. On the other hand, cloud computing is simply an environment comprising a collection of high-performance services from various vendors. These services can frequently access and process massive amounts of data faster than a traditional computer. One of these services is cloud analytics, which applies cloud-based analytic algorithms against data in a private or public cloud to get the desired outcome. This paper differentiates between several analytics methodologies to create highly consistent, logical, and information-rich summaries. This research has discussed and analyzed many studies related to this field. Therefore, the results of this paper can be utilized to determine the advantages of these methods, which will help future researchers in their research for a more organized and thorough analysis when dealing with such applications.

Secure QR-Code Generation in Healthcare Safa S. Abdul-Jabbar, Alaa k. Farhan Karbala International Journal of Modern Science, 2023 QR codes have become ubiquitous across several industries, including e-commerce, education, and healthcare. In the healthcare sector, QR codes are increasingly used to relay essential information regarding medical products, patient history, and healthcare education. In addition, QR codes have proven to help secure and preserve patient records during transmissions. This paper aims to develop and analyze the implementation of QR code technology for healthcare appli-cations. The proposed approach involves generating a unique QR code for each patient's information, facilitating data transmission between nodes such as hospitals. With its small size, the QR code provides a simple solution to transfer patient records, reducing internet capacity requirements and minimizing latency. The proposed system utilizes advanced techniques such as Diffie Hellman and logistic map for key generation and distribution, hash algorithm and Lorenz equation for key mask generation, the salting algorithm for data integrity, DNA encoding, and Huffman Algorithm for data coding. The proposed system's usability was tested with 366 patient records, and the results indicate that 99.76% of data was saved with a compression ratio of 416.8 for each patient record. Moreover, the comparative analysis demon-strated that the proposed strategy outperforms other data capacity, security, and integrity methods. Overall, the proposed system can revolutionize data transmission and security in the healthcare sector, ensuring the safety and confidentiality of patient records.
A Comparative Study of Anemia Classification Algorithms for International and Newly CBC Datasets Safa S. Abdul-Jabbar, Alaa K. Farhan, Alexander S. Luchinin International Journal of Online and Biomedical Engineering, 2023 Data generated from modern applications and the internet in healthcare is extensive and rapidly expanding. Therefore, one of the significant success factors for any application is understanding and extracting meaningful information using digital analytics tools. These tools will positively impact the application's performance and handle the challenges that can be faced to create highly consistent, logical, and information-rich summaries. This paper contains three main objectives: First, it provides several analytics methodologies that help to analyze datasets and extract useful information from them as preprocessing steps in any classification model to determine the dataset characteristics. Also, this paper provides a comparative study of several classification algorithms by testing 12 different classifiers using two international datasets to provide an accurate indicator of their efficiency and the future possibility of combining efficient algorithms to achieve better results. Finally, building several CBC datasets for the first time in Iraq helps to detect blood diseases from different hospitals. The outcome of the analysis step is used to help researchers to select the best system structure according to the characteristics of each dataset for more organized and thorough results. Also, according to the test results, four algorithms achieved the best accuracy (Logitboost, Random Forest, XGBoost, Multilayer Perceptron). Then use the Logitboost algorithm that achieved the best accuracy to classify these new datasets. In addition, as future directions, this paper helps to investigate the possibility of combining the algorithms to utilize benefits and overcome their disadvantages.
Fast 128-bit Multi-Pass Stream Ciphering Method Safa S. Abdul-Jabbar, Abeer E. Abed, Sajaa G. Mohammed, Faisel G. Mohammed Iraqi Journal of Science, 2023 Information is an essential and valuable object in all systems. The more information you have about your issue, the better you can conform to the world around you. Moreover, information recognizes companies and provides influence that helps one company be more effective than another. So, protecting this information using better security controls and providing a high level of access to authorized parties becomes an urgent need. As a result, many algorithms and encryption techniques have been developed to provide a high level of protection for system information. Therefore, this paper presents an enhancement to the Blowfish algorithm as one of the cryptography techniques. Then it proposes an enhancement for increasing efficiency and secrecy for this algorithm, which are the main criteria for these modifications. In this paper, the main modification made for the Blowfish algorithm is altering the S-box according to the principles of the block cipher (OFB). The results were approved using hamming distance and avalanche effect. The proposed algorithm presents advantages on several points, including reducing the required time for the encryption and decryption processes and preventing transmission errors from perpetuating all data. Also, we can conclude that the modified Blowfish algorithm can be used for all text encryption systems because of its flexibility (unlimited input text size and expanding key size).

Using Three-Dimensional Logistic Equations and Glowworm Swarm Optimization Algorithm to Generate S-Box Sanaa Ali Jabber, Ammar Mohammd, Ali Al-Tameemi, Safa S. Abdul-Jabbar, A Alhudhaif, et al. International Journal of Intelligent Engineering and Systems, 2022 A major component of symmetric cryptosystems is the substitution box (S-box), which is primarily utilized in existing cryptographic ciphers to ensure secure data sanctuaries. The cryptographic strength of an S-box used in the encryption directly correlates to the amount of data protection that a cipher offers. This work developed a suitable configuration (8x8) S-box using metaheuristic approaches based on the Glowworm Swarm Optimization (GSO) algorithm and three-dimensional (3D) logistic equations to construct pseudo-random number generators. Chaotic maps boost the initial population of the GSO, making it a suitable place to start. The nonlinearity score of the S-box served as the GSO's objective function. Operations for exploration and exploitation are balanced using the GSO. In comparison to various references, the proposed S-box satisfied all of the S-security box's requirements, including the strict avalanche criterion (SAC), bijection, nonlinearity, output bits independence criteria (BIC), and histogram. The proposed method's nonlinearity property was 107.00. It is regarded as a successful and effective result. BIC and SAC averages were 103.500 and 0.499, respectively. Compared to a simple histogram, the encryption histogram was more uniform. As a result, it has been demonstrated that the suggested S-box is robust and resistant to cryptographic assaults.
