    Analysing the connection between ai and industry 4.0 from a cybersecurity perspective: defending the smart revolution
    (Mesopotamian Journal of Big Data, 2023-05-05) Bala, Indu; Mijwil, Maad M.; Ali, Guma; Sadıkoğlu, Emre
    In recent years, the significance and efficiency of business performance have become dependent heavily on digitization, as jobs in companies are seeking to be transformed into digital jobs based on smart systems and applications of the fourth industrial revolution. Cybersecurity systems must interact and continuously cooperate with authorized users through the Internet of Things and benefit from corporate services that allow users to interact in a secure environment free from electronic attacks. Artificial intelligence methods contribute to the design of the Fourth Industrial Revolution principles, including interoperability, information transparency, technical assistance, and decentralized decisions. Through this design, security gaps may be generated that attackers can exploit in order to be able to enter systems, control them, or manipulate them. In this paper, the role of automated systems for digital operations in the fourth industrial revolution era will be examined from the perspective of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, as well as the most significant practices of artificial intelligence methods. This paper concluded that artificial intelligence methods play a significant role in defending and protecting cybersecurity and the Internet of Things, preventing electronic attacks, and protecting users' privacy.

    Blockchain and federated learning in edge-fog-cloud computing environments for smart logistics
    (Mesopotamian Academic Press, 2025-07-22) Ali, Guma; Adebo, Thomas; Mijwil, Maad M.; Al-Mahzoum, Kholoud; Sallam, Malik; Salau, Ayodeji Olalekan; Adamopoulos, Ioannis; Bala, Indu; Al-jubori, Aseed Yaseen Rashid
    The rapid growth of smart logistics, driven by IoT devices and data-intensive applications, necessitates secure, scalable, and efficient computing frameworks. As the edge-fog-cloud (EFC) paradigm supports real-time data processing, it faces significant security threats and attacks, including privacy risks, data breaches, and unauthorized access. To address these security threats and attacks, blockchain and federated learning (FL) have gained popularity as potential solutions in EFC computing environments for smart logistics. This survey reviews the current landscape in EFC computing environments for smart logistics, highlighting the existing benefits and challenges identified in 134 research studies published between January 2023 and June 2025. The applications of blockchain and FL demonstrate their ability to enhance data security and privacy, improve real-time tracking and monitoring, and ensure inventory and supply chain optimization. Although these technologies offer promising solutions, challenges such as scalability issues, data quality, interoperability and standardization hinder their effective implementation. The survey suggests future research directions focused on developing advanced blockchain and FL, integrating emerging technologies, developing policies and regulations, fostering collaborative research, and ensuring cross-industry adoption and interoperability. Integrating blockchain and FL within the EFC model offers a transformative path toward building secure, intelligent, and resilient logistics systems.

    Enhancing cybersecurity in smart education with deep learning and computer vision: A Survey.
    (Mesopotamian Academic Press, 2025-06-26) Ali, Guma; Aziku, Samuel; Mijwil, Maad M.; Al-Mahzoum, Kholoud; Sallam, Malik; Salau, Ayodeji Olalekan; Bala, Indu; Dhoska, Klodian; Melekoglu, Engin
    The rapid digital transformation of education, driven by the widespread adoption of smart devices and online platforms, has ushered in the era of smart education. While this shift enhances learning experiences, it also introduces significant cybersecurity risks that threaten the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of educational resources, student data, and institutional systems. This survey examines how deep learning (DL) and computer vision (CV) techniques can enhance cybersecurity in smart education environments. By reviewing 202 peer-reviewed research papers published between January 2022 and June 2025 across leading publishers such as ACM Digital Library, Frontiers, Wiley Online Library, IGI Global, Nature, Springer, ScienceDirect, MDPI, IEEE Xplore Digital Library, Taylor & Francis, Sage, BMC, and Google Scholar, the study explores the integration of these advanced technologies to address emerging threats. It highlights the use of DL in intrusion detection, anomaly detection, and biometric authentication to protect digital learning platforms. It also examines how CV techniques, such as facial recognition, behavioral analysis, and emotion detection, enhance security and foster adaptive learning environments. The survey also addresses key challenges, including data quality, model interpretability, computational costs, and ethical considerations. By identifying research gaps and proposing future directions, this survey offers valuable insights for researchers, educators, and policymakers aiming to develop robust, scalable, and ethical AI-driven cybersecurity solutions for smart education.

    Sensing of type 2 diabetes patients based on Internet of Things solutions: An Extensive survey
    (IGI Global, 2024) Mijwil, Maad M.; Bala, Indu; Ali, Guma; Aljanabi, Mohammad; Abotaleb, Mostafa; Doshi, Ruchi; Hiran, Kamal Kant; El-Kenawy, El-Sayed M.
    Internet of things solutions have brought about a significant revolution in the development of healthcare by providing remote monitoring capabilities and providing doctors with reports on patients in real-time, which leads to developing the care of patients with type 2 diabetes and enhancing their health condition. Through several sensors, IoT devices can collect patients' health data, such as glucose level, blood pressure, heart rate, and physical activity, so that healthcare workers can assess patients' health status and disease development within the body. These devices contribute to saving patients' lives by providing continuous monitoring of vital signs and disease management by physicians and healthcare workers. In this context, this article contributes to reviewing the development of IoT solutions in providing information and mechanisms adopted in monitoring patients with type 2 diabetes, data security issues, privacy concerns, and interoperability.
