Multimedia database retrieval is growing at a fast rate thereby subsequent increase in the popularity of online retrieval system. The large datasets are major challenges for searching, retrieving, and organizing the music content. Therefore, there is a need of robust automatic music genre classification method for organizing these music data into different classes according to the certain viable information. There are two fundamental components to be considered for genre classification namely audio feature extraction and classifier design. In this paper, diverse audio features set have been proposed to characterize the music contents precisely. The feature sets belong to four different groups, i.e. dynamic, rhythm, spectral, and harmony. From the features, five different statistical parameters are considered as representatives, including up to the 4^th order central moments of each feature, and covariance components. Ultimately, significant numbers of representative attributes are controlled by MRMR algorithm. The algorithm calculates the score level of all feature attributes and orders them. The high score feature attributes are only considered for genre classification. Moreover, we can visualize that which audio features and which of the different statistical parameters derived from them are important for genre classification. Among them, mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) have higher scored level than other feature attributes. Furthermore, MRMR does not transform the feature value like as principal component analysis (PCA). Besides these, the comparison has been made based on classification accuracy between two-dimensionality reduction methodologies using support vector machine (SVM). The classification accuracy of MRMR feature reduction set outperforms than PCA. The overall classification is also higher than other existing state-of-the-art of frame base methods.

The continuous evolution of the IoT paradigm has been extensively applied across various application domains, including air traffic control, education, healthcare, agriculture, transportation, smart home appliances, and others. Our primary focus revolves around exploring the applications of IoT, particularly within healthcare, where it assumes a pivotal role in facilitating secure and real-time remote patient-monitoring systems. This innovation aims to enhance the quality of service and ultimately improve people’s lives. A key component in this ecosystem is the Healthcare Monitoring System (HMS), a technology-based framework designed to continuously monitor and manage patient and healthcare provider data in real time. This system integrates various components, such as software, medical devices, and processes, aimed at improvi1g patient care and supporting healthcare providers in making well-informed decisions. This fosters proactive healthcare management and enables timely interventions when needed. However, data transmission in these systems poses significant security threats during the transfer process, as malicious actors may attempt to breach security protocols.This jeopardizes the integrity of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) and ultimately endangers patient safety. Two feature sets—biometric and network flow metric—have been incorporated to enhance detection in healthcare systems. Another major challenge lies in the scarcity of publicly available balanced datasets for analyzing diverse IoMT attack patterns. To address this, the Auxiliary Classifier Generative Adversarial Network (ACGAN) was employed to generate synthetic samples that resemble minority class samples. ACGAN operates with two objectives: the discriminator differentiates between real and synthetic samples while also predicting the correct class labels. This dual functionality ensures that the discriminator learns detailed features for both tasks. Meanwhile, the generator produces high-quality samples that are classified as real by the discriminator and correctly labeled by the auxiliary classifier. The performance of this approach, evaluated using the IoMT dataset, consistently outperforms the existing baseline model across key metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, area under curve (AUC), and confusion matrix results.

In this paper, we introduce a novel, self-hosted Syslog collection platform designed specifically to address the challenges that small and medium enterprises (SMEs) face in implementing comprehensive syslog monitoring solutions. Our analysis begins with an assessment of current network observability practices, evaluating enterprise solutions, on-premises systems, and Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings to identify features crucial for SME environments. The proposed platform represents an advancement in the field through the incorporation of modern practices, including GitOps and continuous integration and continuous delivery/deployment (CI/CD), and its implementation onto a self-managed Kubernetes platform, which is an approach not commonly explored in SME-focused solutions. We will explore its scalability by leveraging dynamic templates, which allow us to select the number and type of nodes when deploying networks of various sizes. This architecture ensures organisations can deploy a pre-designed, scalable network monitoring solution without extensive external support. The resilience of the proposed platform is assessed by providing empirical evidence of the scaling performance and reliability under various failure scenarios, including node failure and high network throughput stress.
