  • Efficient Detection of Denial-of-Service Attacks in Wireless Sensor Networks Depending on Binarized Simplicial Convolutional Neural Networks for Enhanced Security
    R. Vidhya, S. Varunadevi, Murugananth Gopal Raj
    International Journal of Communication Systems, 2026
    DoS attacks pose significant threats to wireless sensor networks (WSNs) by disrupting regular network availability. The existing systems face limitations such as limited power, storage, bandwidth, and processing capabilities, making them particularly vulnerable to security risks. Despite these constraints, an effective intrusion detection system (IDS) is essential for detecting such attacks. As denial‐of‐service (DoS) attacks become more frequent and sophisticated, the traditional intrusion detection systems are losing their effectiveness. To overcome these complications, Efficient Detection of Denial‐of‐Service Attacks in Wireless Sensor Networks using Binarized Simplicial Convolutional Neural Networks for Enhanced Security (ED‐DoS‐WSN‐BSCNN) is proposed. The input data are collected from the WSN‐DS dataset. The gathered data are given to the preprocessing stage with the help of the adaptive two‐stage unscented Kalman filter (ATSUKF) for data cleaning, data transformation, and normalization. Then the preprocessed data are given to the classification stage by using the binarized simplicial convolutional neural network (BSCNN) for classifying DoS attacks, such as normal, blackhole, grayhole, flooded, and TDMA. Finally, the Arctic tern optimizer (ATO) algorithm is employed to enhance the BSCNN that categorizes the types of DoS attacks accurately. The performance metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, specificity, F1‐score, computational time, and RoC are taken into account. The performance of the proposed technique is compared with other existing methods. The ED‐DoS‐WSN‐BSCNN technique is implemented in Python. The proposed technique attains 4.05%, 7.52%, and 2.91% higher accuracy, 4.10%, 7.61%, and 5.14% higher precision, 7.46%, 6.92%, and 2.88% higher recall, and 1.06%, 1.75%, and 2.31% higher specificity compared with existing methods: performance analysis of deep learning for DoS attacks identification in wireless sensor network (CNN‐DoS‐WSN), detection of DoS attack in wireless sensor networks: a lightweight machine learning approach (KNN‐DoS‐WSN), and extended evaluation on machine learning approach for DoS detection in Wireless Sensor Networks (RT‐DoS‐WSN), respectively.

    Arvind Kumar Srivastava, M Soumya, Torthi Ravichandra, Vidhya R, Murugananth Gopal Raj, S. P. Santhoshkumar
    2025 Global Conference in Emerging Technology Ginotech 2025, 2025
    For the food and agriculture industries to guarantee consumer happiness and cut waste, accurate fruit quality prediction is essential. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are used to evaluate fruit eminence based on characteristics such as color, consistency, volume, and chemical content is investigated in this paper. Current models do a good job of classifying fresh fruits, but they are not very good at spotting rotten ones, which is crucial for reducing waste and preserving quality control. This study fills this gap by compiling a dataset of both fresh and rotting fruits in order to establish a comprehensive strategy. To distinguish between them, the ANN model is trained on a variety of photos. Additionally, fruit maturity is evaluated using color changes and OpenCV, a popular computer vision toolkit. Fruit quality assessment and classification are improved by this integrated method. The suggested approach helps with fruit sorting and guarantees that buyers receive high-quality product, which benefits sectors like retail and agriculture. The ultimate objective of this project is to increase sustainability and efficiency in the food supply chain by automating quality monitoring throughout the application of state-of-the-art ML algorithms.

    The proliferation of electronic waste (e-waste) has become a pressing environmental concern, necessitating efficient methods for its classification and management. Though there are traditional methods which are used when sorting and recyling e-waste, they are time-consuming, costly and most of the time, are not accurate and hence, a lot of resources are wasted in the process. This research aims at extending the use of Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs) in the classification of critical e-waste components namely circuit boards, batteries, and cables. The proposed method fully utilizes the capacity of extracting features of DCNNs in order to accurately detect and sort these components by means of the receiving visual information. For training and testing the DCNN model a dataset was created and preprocessed and the target images included circuit boards of different orientations and sizes, batteries and cables. The architecture of a network was created considering aspect of depth and computational complexity guarantying high accuracy and feasible time for great data set processing. In the evaluation process of the model, a comparison was made with various standard performance measures, with checklists such as accuracy, precision and recall and F1-score to rate the prowess of the proposed model in taking part in the classifying process of e-waste components. From the analysis, the proposed DCNN model reached classification accuracy over 95.9% on all the categories suggesting the model can be used as a tool to sort e-waste automatically. The paper also considers the issues of implementing such technology in the current recycling systems and the overall advantages, which will be the increase of the sorting efficiency, decreased labor expenses, as well as elevated recovery rates of materials demanded in the market.

    S. Jayaprakash, B. Gopi, Murugananth Gopal Raj, S. Sujith, S. Deepa, S. Swapna
    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, 2023
    The introduction of several small and large-scale industries, malls, shopping complexes, and domestic applications has significantly increased energy consumption. The aim of the work is to simulate a technically viable and economically optimum hybrid power system for residential buildings. The proposed micro-grid model includes four power generators: solar power, wind power, Electricity Board (EB) source, and a Diesel Generator (DG) set, with solar and wind power performing as major sources and the EB supply and DG set serving as backup sources. The core issue in direct current to alternate current conversion is harmonics distortion, a five-stage multilevel inverter is employed with the assistance of an intelligent control system is simulated and the optimum system configuration is estimated to reduce harmonics and improve the power quality. The monthly demand for residential buildings is 13–15 Megawatts. So, almost 433 Kilo-Watts (KW) of electricity is required every day, and if it is used for 8 h per day, 50–60 KW of electricity is needed per hour. The overall micro-grid model’s operation and performance are established using MATLAB/SIMULINK software, and simulation results are provided. The simulation results show that the developed system is both cost-effective and environment friendly resulting in yearly cost reductions.
