Bio-Inspired Computational Paradigm for Feature Investigation and Malware Detection: Interactive Analytics

Recently, people rely on mobile devices to conduct their daily fundamental activities. Simultaneously, most of the people prefer devices with Android operating system. As the demand expands, deceitful authors develop malware to compromise Android for private and money purposes. Consequently, securit...
