“…Some solutions (Elmougy, Hossain, Tolba, Alhamid, & Muhammad, ; Shravan, Vaidehi, Sangeetha, Antony, & Vaikundam, ) detect data anomalies in the server side. However, the other solutions (Ahsanul, Mustafizur, & Mahfuzul, ; Aderibigbe & Chi, ; Naseem, Salem, Liu, & Mehaoua, ; Saneja & Rani, ; Salem, Liu, & Mehaoua, ; Salem, Guerassimov, Mehaoua, Marcus, & Furht, ; Salem, Liu, & Mehaoua, ; Salem, Liu, Mehaoua, & Boutaba, ; Salem, Guerassimov, Mehaoua, Marcus, & Furht, ; Yang, Liu, Gao, Qiu, & Meng, ; Zhang, Liu, & Li, ) are designed to be deployed in the personal processing unit to minimize the transmission of erroneous measurements to the server and hence increase the system lifetime. Furthermore, existing detection approaches are based either on univariate techniques (Aderibigbe & Chi, ; Ahsanul et al, ; Salem et al, ) or on multivariate techniques (Salem, Guerassimov, et al, ; Salem, Liu, et al, ; Salem, Liu, et al, ; Salem, Guerassimov, et al, ; Naseem et al, ; Saneja & Rani, ; Yang et al, ; Zhang et al, ).…”
