ESTIMATION OF MINIMAL INITIAL SAMPLE SIZE IN PROGRESSIVE SAMPLING FOR BIG DATA ANALYTICS Journal of Theoretical and Applied Information Technology, 2023
Implementation of GUI based Vital Track Ambulance for Patient Health Monitoring Dankan Gowda V, Lokesh M, H P Viraj, Rinkesh V Mailapur, Mahendra K Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Communication and Electronics Systems Icces 2023, 2023 Smart Ambulance and Patient Health Monitoring is a system designed to enhance the quality of medical care during patient transport. it is a cutting-edge technology that integrates healthcare with transportation It aims to improve the efficiency of emergency medical services. This work is an effort to address a critical issue in modern healthcare delivery. It consists of three major sections. First, sensors would be used to detect the patient's vitals; second, data would be sent to a cloud storage service; and third, the discovered data would be made available for remote viewing via a Java GUI. The ambulance is equipped with a real-time communication system that connects it with the database, enabling healthcare professionals to remotely monitor and advise on patient care in Java GUI. The patient's vital signs (heart rate, respiration rate, and temperature) are tracked in real time by sensors and wireless communication devices in the patient health surveillance system. This information is transmitted to the Java GUI including ambulance safety parameters like Fire sensor, IR sensor, GPS tracking and Gas sensor, enabling healthcare professionals to make informed decisions regarding patient care, and to enhance the ambulance's ability to reach the hospital safely. The system aims to improve patient outcomes by providing timely and accurate medical interventions during transport and may reduce the time between diagnosis and treatment.
Six sigma DMAIC approach based mobile application for statistical analysis of COVID-19 data Kavyashree Nagarajaiah, Supriya Maganahalli Chandramouli, Lokesh Malavalli Ramakrishna International Journal of Pervasive Computing and Communications, 2022 Purpose Coronavirus disease 2019 is one of the novel diseases formed by a dreadful virus called Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2. Various countries are affected by this viral disease, and many countries declare a lockdown with several rules and conditions. To prevent this rapid viral transmission, various researchers have introduced different mobile applications. This paper aims to study issues like viral transmission, mortality rates, vaccination rates, etc. and also provides suitable solutions based on the statistical analysis with the assistance of the Six-Sigma Define-Measure-Analyse-Improve-Control (DMAIC) concept. Design/methodology/approach Statistical analysis is done for different countries, and the required solutions are provided by using the DMAIC procedure. This application has the ability to represent the current risk status of the user and notify them to secure themselves. Findings The proposed work suggests the Aarogya Setu application to prevent large viral transmission by affording many preventive measures. This application also issues the current risk status of each individual user. Hence, it gives improved results in avoiding high viral transmission. Originality/value The proposed six-sigma DMAIC concept also affords the control measures to prevent viral transmission. Hence, the suggested application has the highest chance of avoiding the rapid viral transmission.
Mobile App Usage Behaviour based User Authentication using Fuzzy Random Forest Kavyashree Nagarajaiah, Supriya Maganahalli Chandramouli, Lokesh M. R, D Amalfitano, V Riccio, et al. Journal of System and Management Sciences, 2022 Smartphones are common among people and are also used for monitoring and controlling house appliances.Identity verification on smartphones is typically done once and the identification method is not repeatedly used.Extraction of data from mobile telephone usage, including authentication and authorization events can be used to find a resolution.In this method, Fuzzy logic with the Random Forest user authentication model is presented for a mobile application that uses events of application access.The real-world dataset has been employed to test the approach.The framework is tested for authenticated users using shared applications for a particular time.The proposed method considers that the users operate the mobile apps individually during weekend days.The proposed method is tested with alternative classifiers in terms of the identity of valid users.The proposed model has a higher F-measure of 99.98 % compared to the existing K-Nearest Neighbor has 96 % F-measure.

State awareness towards resiliency in cyber-physical system: A modified Danger Theory based deterministic Dendritic Cell Algorithm approach M R Lokesh, Y. S. Kumaraswamy 2015 IEEE International Conference on Computer Graphics Vision and Information Security Cgvis 2015, 2016 State awareness plays major role in developing resiliency in cyber-physical system where the environment is diverse in nature. Cyber-physical system is modeled with Multi Agent Paradigm and biological inspired Danger Theory based-Dendritic Cell Algorithm Methodology is applied towards developing state awareness. The proposed methodology uses, Threshold-based agent population concentration to define each state toward indicates different state awareness on resiliency in cyber-physical system. This achieves new proposal of state awareness algorithm. The Algorithm is validated with simulation results as well numerical analyses.

This algorithm is validated with simulation results as well numerical analyses.
Next State Prediction algorithm for the avionic systems using the hidden Markov models Lokesh M R, Y.S Kumaraswamy Proceedings of the 2015 International Conference on Green Computing and Internet of Things Icgciot 2015, 2016 This paper covers increasing need for next state prediction in the field of the avionics system that will predict and overcome the faults caused by the avionics systems. “Next State Prediction” is used for the predication of the possible states that the system can exist. This paper explains about how Markov models and hidden Markov models can be used for the prediction of the state in which the system exist based on which it could be stated if it is in a safe state. In the current scenario, it is not possible to have 100% test coverage for all the test cases. There will be instances where some of the portions that will not be covered by the test coverage and may lead to catastrophic faults. A very good process of verification and validation is carried out before the software is operational. However, all these are carried out before the software is commissioned on the target for its stipulated use. Further, the V&V is carried out in a simulated environment. It is very difficult to simulate the environment into. There could be some environmental conditions which have not been simulated and which could trigger the software state to an unsafe condition. Hence we use this methodology so as to predict if the current state or any further states in which an aircraft could exist would be safer one, if not, necessary steps could be carried out so as to make it safer.
