This emerging technology is used as a functional technology for refining present technology and forming new applications for its robustness and disintermediation. Decentralized Digital Self-Sovereign Identity (DDSSI) is an identity mapped with individual identity information along with the user's reputation in the transaction. User's information will be preserved in the decentralized cloud server which will be controlled and maintained by the user. In this research work, we suggest a Blockchain-centered DDSSI wallet to modernizes the existing identity management system that will be used to identify as well as access control to provide validation and endorsement of entities in a digital system. BC technology in this innovation ensures credible and safe information in a transaction besides. Here, we use Bitcoin cryptocurrencies to generate secure and unique DDSSI public key addresses by integrating the private key with the random number for transferring and accepting information and a token-based system to identify customer reputation.

One of the main reasons behind this scenario is urbanization and industrialization. Every industry should have an Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) for treating industrial wastewater and safe disposal to the environment. We implement a system that monitors whether an industry uses ETP or not. To monitor ETP, we need to monitor the untreated waste water quality. The traditional way offers us a method that is time-consuming and inefficient. To solve this problem, we adopt a model based on Wireless Sensor Networking (WSN), which allows us to keep track of the water quality parameters in real-time. This paper proposes a water quality monitoring system that uses WSN and Internet of Things (IoT) based devices to monitor different parameters of water: temperature by a temperature sensor, turbidity by a turbidity sensor, and pH by a pH sensor. Moreover, the microcontroller of Arduino Uno R3 collects the paramete...

Secured communication platform or channel has been highlighted as a key requirement for a reliable condominium which can be ensured by the utilization of the advanced techniques and platforms like Software-Defined Network (SDN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Blockchain (BC). These technologies provide a robust, and secured platform to meet all kinds of challenges, such as safety, confidentiality, flexibility, efficiency, and availability. This work suggests a distributed, scalable IoT-SDN with Blockchain-based NFV framework for a smart condominium (DistB-Condo) that can act as an efficient secured platform for a small community. Moreover, the Blockchain-based IoT-SDN with NFV framework provides the combined benefits of leading technologies. It also presents an optimized Cluster Head Selection (CHS) algorithm for selecting a Cluster Head (CH) among the clusters that efficiently saves energy. Besides, a decentralized and secured Blockchain approach has been introduced that allows more prominent security and privacy to the desired condominium network. Our proposed approach has also the ability to detect attacks in an IoT environment. Eventually, this article evaluates the performance of the proposed architecture using different parameters (e.g., throughput, packet arrival rate, and response time). The proposed approach outperforms the existing OF-Based SDN. DistB-Condo has better throughput on average, and the bandwidth (Mbps) much higher than the OF-Based SDN approach in the presence of attacks. Also, the proposed model has an average response time of 5% less than the core model.

The distributed ledger and Blockchain technologies had brought solutions through transparently bridging two or multiple untrusted parties. In this research, a novel architecture for a smart building system, including a control system and automatic approaches, is proposed. An efficient cluster head selection algorithm is proposed to select the desired cluster head with the consideration of low energy consumption and fast head selection. An enhanced combination of IoT forwarding devices and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) technology is further advanced. Furthermore, the proposed ''DistBlockBuilding'' architecture is implemented for managing a safe and secure data transfer from one surface to another surface. Besides, Blockchain technology is performed for transferring data within the smart building. Finally, the performance of IoT-SDN based secured networks is evaluated.

Various distributed and centralized platforms against cyber-attacks have been implemented in recent years, but these platforms are inefficient due to their constrained levels of storage, high energy consumption, the central point of failure, underutilized resources, high latency, and etc. In addition, the current architecture confronts the problems of scalability, flexibility, complexity, monitoring, managing & collecting of IoT data, and defend against cyber-threats. To address these issues, the author presents distributed and decentralized Blockchain-Software Defined Networking (SDN) based energy-optimized architecture for IoT in smart cities. Thus, SDN continuous observing, controlling, managing IoT devices activities and detect possible attacks in the network; Blockchain provides adequate security & privacy against cyber-attacks, reduces the central point of failure issues; Network Function Virtualization (NFV) are used to saving energy, load balancing, as well as increasing the lifetime of the entire network. Also, we introduce a Cluster Head Selection (CHS) algorithm to reduce the energy consumption in the presented model. Finally, we analyze the performance using various parameters (e.g. throughput, response time, gas consumption, communication overhead) and demonstrating the result that provides higher throughput, lower response time, lower gas consumption than existing works for smart cities.

The impact of Bayesian analysis in combination with Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technology is realized optimally in the domain of applications. The ecological data could be a storehouse of natural history and experimental data is used to address hidden uncertainty. Bayesian inference could be the most straightforward and natural way of analyzing and interpreting the related ecological hypotheses. This study basically aims to exploit the inbuilt advantages of Bayesian approach in studying the prevalence of Meiofaunal population from the data collected at five different (Pulicat, Royapuram, Napier, Marina, Adyar) coastal areas of Chennai, India.

Ecological research has a unique feature in that a component of ecological community might yield different results when repeating the experiment and expected not to exert the conditions of identical samples. In contrast to long run frequentist approach, Bayesian inference could provide a more pragmatic alternative to the field of ecological uncertainty. Its ability to incorporate objective or subjective hypotheses or theories into prior distributions could encourage ecologists to analyse the data and interpret the results. In this study, an attempt has been made to estimate the prevalence of Meiofaunal population based on the data collected in five stations (Adyar, Marina, Napier, Pulicat and Royapuram) of Chennai coast (13 • 06' N. 80 • 18'E), India and the elicited information forms the basis for constructing realistic priors.

Intuitionistic fuzzy sets are extension of fuzzy sets where they have a non-membership function along with membership function. The primary purpose is to generalize Odd IFN with their MFn and NMFn. The generalized value and generalised ambiguity definitions with alpha and beta cuts are defined. Generalized odd IFN which are defined are justified by evaluating a hendecagonal IFN problem based transportation.
