چکیده
With the rise and precision of current medical procedures and the healthy lifestyles of many individuals turning towards a healthier lifestyle, the average lifetime expectancy is ever increasing [1]. Doctors are able to better diagnose and treat patients while the ability of individuals to cope and recover from illnesses is staggering. Technological advances incorporated with vast and accurate knowledge of the human anatomy have allowed healthcare professionals the ability to handle almost any scenario they encounter in individuals at hospitals and emergency treatment facilities [1, 2]. As the average individual lifetime expectancy has increased, this has also directly impacted our planets population and as such, a shortage of qualified healthcare professionals to treat the sick and needy has become an issue. Scientists and researchers have developed numerous solutions to this problem, one of which allows patients to be remotely monitored utilizing networks of wireless sensors which relay, in real time, patient information to doctors and healthcare providers. Advances in sensor technologies and high throughput networks continue to refine the accuracy and increase the integrity and public trust of these systems. As a direct result, more individuals elect to utilize these systems as they allow greater freedom and mobility while maintaining the quality of care equivalent to direct med-

A Novel Ensemble Approach for Anomaly Detection in Wireless Sensor Networks Using Time-overlapped Sliding Windows
One of the most important issues concerning the sensor data in the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is the unexpected data which are acquired from the sensors. Today, there are numerous approaches for detecting anomalies in the WSNs, most of which are based on machine learning methods. In this research, we present a heuristic method based on the concept of “ensemble of classifiers” of data minin...

متن کاملSecuring Cluster-heads in Wireless Sensor Networks by a Hybrid Intrusion Detection System Based on Data Mining
Cluster-based Wireless Sensor Network (CWSN) is a kind of WSNs that because of avoiding long distance communications, preserve the energy of nodes and so is attractive for related applications. The criticality of most applications of WSNs and also their unattended nature, makes sensor nodes often susceptible to many types of attacks. Based on this fact, it is clear that cluster heads (CHs) are ...
متن کاملLPKP: location-based probabilistic key pre-distribution scheme for large-scale wireless sensor networks using graph coloring
Communication security of wireless sensor networks is achieved using cryptographic keys assigned to the nodes. Due to resource constraints in such networks, random key pre-distribution schemes are of high interest. Although in most of these schemes no location information is considered, there are scenarios that location information can be obtained by nodes after their deployment. In this paper,...
متن کاملHybrid Key pre-distribution scheme for wireless sensor network based on combinatorial design
Key distribution is an important problem in wireless sensor networks where sensor nodesare randomly scattered in adversarial environments.Due to the random deployment of sensors, a list of keys must be pre-distributed to each sensor node before deployment. To establish a secure communication, two nodes must share common key from their key-rings. Otherwise, they can find a key- path in which ens...
