Cloud computing has become a popular approach for processing data and running computationally expensive services on a pay-as-you-go basis. Due to the ever-increasing requirement for cloud-based apps, appropriately allocating resources according to user requests while meeting service-level agreements between customers and service providers has become increasingly complex. An efficient and versatile resource allocation method is required to properly deploy these assets and meet user needs. The technique of distributing resources has become more arduous as user demand has increased. One of the key areas of research experts is how to design optimal solutions for this approach. In this paper, a literature review on proposed dynamic resource allocation approaches is introduced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Various machine learning algorithms are developed with an aim to create precise and trustworthy models and extract knowledge from data sources. Deep expertise in the field of machine learning is required for the challenging task of choosing the right algorithms for a specific dataset. There is no single algorithm that outperforms all others across all applications and different datasets. The difficulty of choosing an appropriate algorithm for a specific task in specific domain is related to the properties of the dataset. Properties of the dataset are measured through meta-features. Meta-features describe task and can provide explanation how one machine learning approach outperforms other algorithms on a given dataset. Learning about the effectiveness of learning algorithms, or meta-learning was developed to deal with this issue. Focus is required because previous research papers have not successfully identified meta-features in particular domains. In this research, we have evaluated various meta-feature characterization methodologies and have concentrated on basic meta-features. Business domain data is in the focus of this paper. We computed basic (general) meta-features and illustrated several use cases for their applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an essential component in modern games. With AI, players can feel the challenges in the game and the game will feel more real. AI has several branches, one of which is path-finding. Pathfinding is a way of finding the shortest path between two points. The main problem in path-finding is how to perform a path-finding accurately and requires fewer computational resources (CPU and memory). This paper describes the results of research that tested the A* and Hierarchical Pathfinding A* algorithms using the Unity 3D platform and the C# programming language. The graph or space to be used is a graph with 8 branch nodes. While the benchmarks used are the path generated and the processing time of an algorithm. This paper results in a conclusion that the path generated by the A* algorithm is shorter than the Hierarchical Pathfinding A* algorithm. The number of paths processed for the A* algorithm is more than the Hierarchical Pathfinding A* algorithm. The total execution time of the A* Algorithm is smaller than that of the A* Hierarchical Pathfinding Algorithm. The Hierarchical Pathfinding A* algorithm experiences spikes in execution time more often than the A* algorithm. However, if the total spike time, the Hierarchical Algorithm is less than the A* Algorithm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Twitter is known to be one of the familiar social networking platform these days, among many others, with a lot of user engagement. This microblogging site encourages social interactions, allowing users to stay up to date on the latest news and events and share them with others in real time. Tweets are limited to 280 characters and is allowed to include links to related websites and tools. With a platform having such wide reach, it is prone to be targeted negatively and spams are one way to do it. Spammers use this platform to display malicious content that is inappropriate and harmful to users worldwide. Machine Learning uses various approaches that can be used to detect spam and overcome it. However, with the advent of recent technologies it has been observed that the properties of tweets vary overtime making it difficult to detect spam leading to the "Twitter Spam Drift" problem. This paper reviews the papers published since 2018 that have focused on the spam drift problem and gives a comparative analysis of the different algorithms that are utilized on the various data sets to tackle such a problem.

The paper examines the application of systematic and risk-based approaches to problem solving in the agro-industrial complex, which generally prompted research in the field of various model-based methodologies. Of particular interest to this study is the Quality by Design initiative in the agro-industrial complex. Motivated by their need, this paper reports some of the contributions to analysing the existence and availability of the experimental plan. The analysis of the feasibility and adaptation of the nested sampling algorithm for the probabilistic characteristics of the design space is considered. There is described an initial adaptation of the nested sampling algorithm, common for large Bayesian calculations, for the probabilistic characterization of spatial design, which is a key work for practitioners in the agro-industrial complex. The choice-based approach has been found to be effective with the optimization approach, allowing practitioners to take advantage of the choice-based approach with other methods. A step-by-step technology is given for complex and one-time implementations of the original nested sample for spatial design, which further reduces the computational load, thereby allowing solutions of more complex problems. Design-centring methodology is shown as an alternative coding method for methodological choice, providing the practitioner with a convenient format for communicating with process operators. A particular attention is paid to several pronounced problems that arise in the special design of experiments when there are various levels of model uncertainty, which are often encountered in the early stages of model development. The paper presents the results of the study obtained by developing optimal experimental queries in the presence of restrictions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper describes selection of the processor architecture for the external control block implementation in assembler. This block is used to control the operation of the main control system and improve the reliability of the system as a whole. A scheme for the considered method implementation with an external control unit on CPU instead of FPGA is proposed. The development of software for it is realized in assembler. Analysis of the architectures' peculiarities that are currently available on the market is carried out. They are x86 and x86-64 for CISC. ARM v8, ARM64, RISC-V, SPARC, and LEON are for RISC. The paper performs translation of decision-making algorithms in multiversion environments from the C++ language into the assembler of the necessary architectures. The size of the resulting code is analyzed. The authors made conclusions on the basis of the obtained results. It is preferable to select a CISC architecture, since it simplifies and speeds up a software development process in the case when it is required to develop a code in assembler. As for the scheme selection for the control system implementation with an external control unit, the authors prove that it is quite acceptable to apply a CPU for the external unit instead of the initially proposed FPGA.

Chromatic Dispersion (CD) compensation in optical fiber Offset Quadrature Amplitude Modulation based Filter Bank Multicarrier (FBMC-OQAM) systems is the most used today, especially on terrestrial Long-haul optical fiber type. As any other related system, FBMC-OQAM have a lot of strength and weakness points that should take in account, therefore, focus on studying data transmission over optical cables with FBMC-OQAM modulation for long distance and improve data access by reducing the noise on phase and have less dispersion on the transmitted light. To get a high spectral efficiency keep the subcarriers number sufficiently high, so will work on 256 subcarriers with cable length up to 3000 km. To get less complexity on an algorithm chose to use, and therefore compensate some of the dispersion at the receiver, must not set the subcarriers number at too high level. In parallel, know that the fiber dispersion or the propagation distance increases or the number of subcarriers decreases, the CD tolerance of single-tap equalization is reduced, so in this paper, propose to use the frequency sampling multi-tap equalizer for improving the CD compensation. Furthermore, will derive a new simple phase noise (PN) estimation algorithm which can be seen as an adaptive maximum likelihood (AML) algorithm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Handwritten Character Recognition (HCR), interest in feature extraction has been on the increase with the abundance of algorithms derived to increase the accuracy of classification. In this paper, a metaheuristic approach for feature extraction technique in HCR based on Crow Search Algorithm (CSA) was proposed. Freeman Chain Code (FCC) was used as data representation. The main problem in representing a character using FCC is that the results of the extractions depend on the starting points that affected the route length of chain code. To solve this problem, the metaheuristic approach via CSA was proposed to find the shortest route length and minimum computational time for HCR. The performance measurements of the proposed CS-FCC extraction algorithm are the route lengths and computation times. The experiments on the algorithms are performed based on the chain code representation derived from established previous works of Center of Excellence for Document Analysis and Recognition (CEDAR) dataset which consists of 126 upper-case letter characters. Based on the result, the proposed CS-FCC obtained 1880.28 in term of route length and only needs 1.10 second to solve the whole character images. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we present a way how to automatically find and set an optimal configuration for a linear system solver during a transient analysis in order to reduce computation time. Our approach is based on biologically inspired algorithms which are able to find a reasonable configuration in tens of trials, i.e., tens of timesteps in terminology of the transient analysis. This work shows a measurement within which we compared several optimization algorithms and explored their time overhead. We focus on parallel multiphysical solvers for engineering simulations developed for high-performance computing. Our experiment includes one such solver based on Finite Element Tearing and Interconnection and 4 test cases, but our solution is modular, thus, it can be connected to other similar solvers.

This paper deals with an unfavorable phenomenon called the ponding effect. This phenomenon can cause an increase in local deformations on a tensile surface and therefore endanger the integrity of the structure in case of overcoming the tensile strength of the membrane material. A searching algorithm has been developed in order to analyze and prevent occurrence of this phenomenon. An improvement of the algorithm was made so that only an expected amount of precipitation would be considered during the calculation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we proposed the Low light image enhancement using a single scale retinex algorithm. The main aim is to improve the clarity of low light images. By considering the real scenes, the dynamic range of digital camera is small, hence contrast correction is required to reproduce the information of images in darker regions. The proposed method, by using single scale retinex algorithm RGB color components are extorted and modified by applying logarithm and converted into HSV. For enhancing this component, the gaussian surround function is convoluted to it and then scaled version of components and the convoluted one is added to the original image. Then contrast stretching is performed to increase quality of image. This is implemented with MATLAB. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A Blockchain is a decentralized database that stores data that all network participants can access. The central authority is no longer in charge of maintaining this public database by running a cryptographic protocol with designated nodes. Bitcoin is presently the latest object within the Blockchain, and the Bitcoin node can confirm the transaction content and package deal it into the block. Through the underlying consensus agreement, the blockchain ensures the consistency of the information. These consensus algorithms are unique because the set of rules protection assumptions differs from the actual requirements. This paper provides information and compares various blockchain consensus algorithms, classifies advancement based entirely on blockchain consensus, and highlights the benefits.

Cloud infrastructure is the "backbone" technology of the internet era. Ever-growing scale of cloud network concerns the sustainability of centralized cloud. Fog computing aims to decentralizes cloud computing distributing computational processes across network devices, offers a potential solution. If application are distributed effectively in available nodes, network resource usage can be reduce while reducing latency by existing closer to data sources and end points. However, the lack of standardization of fog networks, researcher must list its evaluation setups to contextualize placement algorithm's potential abilities. Thus, selecting an evaluation environment is crucial in researching fog application placement problem. There are several reviews about evaluation environment, but there is a lack of information regarding important aspect placement problem such as algorithm type, placement objective and performance metric available in each evaluation environment. In this paper we discuss the capabilities of several evaluation environments such as iFogSim, YAFS, MATLAB, Python, real world testbed, solver, and other evaluation environments. We surveyed usage trend per year, algorithm type usage, and performance metric that can be produced by each evaluation environment.

Widespread use of high-resolution satellite images may be found in many fields and applications. Its ability to record the earth's surface in more detail benefits regional spatial management, natural resources and disaster monitoring, and several other fields. The smaller coverage is unfortunate if areas are not visible due to cloud contamination. The presence of clouds can reduce or even eliminate the information in the image. Cloud detection on high-resolution images is a challenge because this image only has four channels: blue, green, red, and NIR. While the thermal channel, which is often used to detect the presence of clouds, is not owned by this image. This study proposes a method to identify clouds in high-resolution satellite imagery based on this limitation. The cloud detection software in this paper uses U-Net version 1.0. This software can be executed on a server or personal computer (PC). The model applied to the Dice coefficient and IoU to know how the segmentation model performs. The results of this cloud detection process are cloud detection raster data. This software generates the percentage of clouds in an image as a.txt file. The dice model is recommended for the cloud detection method based on the accuracy assessment. Users can utilize these results, especially in overcoming cloud constraints on high-resolution satellite imagery. This software is expected to fulfill the needs of remote-sensing data users.

As the Internet of Things (IoT) becomes more widely used, the danger of information leakage, the danger of information leakage, data leakage and theft of the internet of things is continuous increasing, as the communication channel for data transfer is open to the public. A considerable portion of this data includes sensitive and personal information for the user and the company as well. Because of the openness, distributed nature, and lack of control over the entire IoT environment, the number of attack vectors for bad users is significant. End-users must trust the system for the IoT to become a viable service platform. Consequently, in critical infrastructures like smart home, smart city, smart healthcare, and smart industry, information security and privacy are the major concern in the Internet of Things. In this paper, we present an information concealment strategy using steganography to protect communication in critical IoT infrastructure. RGB photographs are employed as the information carrier. Deep layers of low-distortion image channels in the least significant bit (LSB) are used to hide the data to be used as a data marker. Both mathematically and experimentally, we evaluate our method. We display mathematically that the striker's analysis cannot expect the current information. The proposed strategy outperformed previous strategies in terms of imperceptibility and capacity, as well as resilience to steganalysis attacks like histogram analysis, as demonstrated experimentally.

This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of safe data from novel HMAC cloud administration with respect to low time consumption in Database Management. In order to foresee the information in time consumption of the Database Management in cloud administration, we tested the HMAC encryption Algorithm with a test size of =20 and the IDEA encryption calculation (IEA) with a test size of =20. HMAC encryption was used to reduce the time needed to recover data from more secure distributed storage. When comparing HMAC and IDEA encryption calculations, HMAC has a higher utilisation rate (66.80 percent) (62.97 percent). In general, HMAC encryption calculation outperforms IDEA encryption calculation (p 0.05, 2-tailed). In data set administration frameworks, a novel HMAC encryption computation helps reduce the possibility of data recovery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Kidney is one of the significant organs in the human body which performs filtering out blood, balances fluid, removes the waste, maintains the level of electrolytes and hormone levels. So, any disorder or dysfunction in kidney needs to be detected on time in order to preserve life. Segmentation on kidney tumor in medical field is a critical task and many conventional methods have been employed for early prediction of kidney abnormalities but with limitations such as high cost, extended time for computation and analysis with huge amount of data. Due to all such problems, the prediction rate and accuracy has reduced considerably.

Blood sugar levels rise as a result of impaired glucose homeostasis, which is a feature of Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Coronary artery disease, nerve damage, diabetic retinal disease, kidney failure, and sex disorders are just a few of the consequences that can result from DM. DM has to be diagnosed early to minimize its effects and those of its consequences. One technique for automatically detecting DM based on the prior data is the clustering algorithm. However, the K-mean Clustering method is easy to be implemented, has fast computational time and adapted easily. However, the centroids of K-means are initialized randomly that causes to be stuck in local optima. For this reason, the robust centroids initialization on the K-means clustering method are necessary to handle this problem. This paper uses swarm intelligence algorithm for this goal since it is able to obtain solution near the global optima, is robust and easy to be implemented. As a result, this study proposes an improved K-means clustering-based technique for diagnosing DM. The K-means is improved by using robust centroid initialization-based swarm intelligence algorithm. The swarm intelligence algorithm which is used is Particle Swarm Optimization. By using experiments, the proposed method is confirmed better than the original K-means clustering in diagnosing DM.

Absolute value detectors implement a widely used spike-detection algorism called absolute value detection. 4-bit absolute value detectors are extensively used in computer storage and acquiring neural signals. As a basic logic component, there's a rising demand for low energy cost and high working frequency. This paper performed a series of optimizations to the conventional design. A traditional absolute value finder is composed of an absolute value finder using ripple-carry adder and multiplexer, and a comparator. In this paper, both parts are redesigned with static-CMOS logic and transmission gate logic (TGL) to shorten critical path. After the circuit topology is determined, two methods are used to control delay and power consumption: sizing logic gates and adjusting supply voltage. A technique called logic effort is used to derive the delay of critical path. By using a linear programming solver, three sets of parameters are found, in which 38.59-unit delay, 52.75-unit energy cost is a balanced design, with the lowest EDP (Energy delay product).

In order to make the auxiliary training ball picking robot pick up the ball efficiently, the path planning of the ball picking robot is needed. The traditional A-star algorithm can be applied to project the trajectory of the mobile robot under the motion model, but there are problems of general obstacle avoidance and insufficient accuracy of obstacle avoidance, based on the characteristics of iteration of the colony algorithm to improve the accuracy of the algorithm. This paper proposes an approach to make the A* algorithm iterative to improve the ability of the algorithm to perform path planning. Compared with the separate A* and colony algorithms, the algorithm in this paper is more accurate and efficient in handling complex routes. It is also paired with object recognition and grasping functions to achieve the function of identifying basketballs, grasping them and transporting them back to the players for the ball pickup robot. In the final Matlab simulation experiments, the effectiveness of target recognition, object grasping, and optimized path recognition is verified. Among them, the optimization algorithm of A* shortens the length of the path by 28% after 40 iterations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The field of robotics research has been well developed with the combination of computers and machinery. With the advancement of artificial intelligence, mobile robots are also attracting more attention today, and path planning is a crucial foundational technology for mobile robots to complete transportation requirements and reach pertinent target areas. In an efficiency-conscious society, the single-goal planning of transmission is gradually failing to meet the needs of enterprises and factories for efficient operations, path planning that can simultaneously plan the optimal methods and reach many target points is increasingly replacing the conventional single-goal path planning. However, there are more factors to be considered in the real complex environment to face various complex road conditions, and for this reason, various single or hybrid algorithms are being optimized and solved for this kind of problem. This paper summarizes the main methods of path planning to simulate the scale of obstacles and environmental scene maps in various conditions, focusing on several basic algorithms and their hybrid algorithms for solving multi-objective path planning problems in global and local path planning, as well as their improvements and innovations on the basic algorithms. This paper's primary idea is to divide the multi-path planning process into various components and substitute each part into a suitable algorithm and model to solve it separately to accomplish the task of reaching multiple target points efficiently.

In their highest grade, brain tumors are the most widespread and dangerous diseases with a very short life span. Therefore, early automatic brain tumor detection is required to lower the fatality rate. Due to this, MRI is a commonly used imaging technology for diagnosis; however, it is practically impossible to do manual segmentation of the volume of data generated by MRI promptly. This paper is intended to analyze the suitable tools, techniques and language for automatic detection of Brain Tumor. From the nature of the problem, it is quite evident that it requires high precision of accuracy in detecting such a deadly disease in a very short period and if possible, in real-time, for a large number of datasets will be required not only to train the algorithm but also for its testing. Spark is an open-source platform to deal with lots of data. Spark's API, PySpark is coupled with Python language to enable the developers to develop a python script for the Spark processing engine.

Abnormality location frameworks conveyed for checking in oil and gas ventures are generally WSN based frameworks or SCADA frameworks which all experience the ill effects of significant impediments. WSN based frameworks are not homogenous or contradictory frameworks. They need facilitated correspondence and straightforwardness among districts and cycles. Then again, SCADA frameworks are costly, unyielding, not versatile, and furnish information with a long postponement. In this paper, a novel IoT based engineering is proposed for Oil and gas businesses to make information assortment from associated objects as straightforward, secure, hearty, solid and speedy. This paper audits and examinations recurrence and outcomes of disappointment rates for inward and outside consumption, human activity and normal powers are dissected and the normal disappointment rate for every disappointment instrument in oil pipeline transport frameworks. Verifiable information on results of the unplanned loss of regulation of inland pipelines are evaluated. To stay away from this event, designs for the most part do pressure transient investigation in the water powered plan period of pipeline network frameworks. Demonstrating and reproduction of homeless people in pipelines is an adequate and savvy technique for evaluating this issue and discovering specialized arrangements. Qualities and restrictions of different discovery and control procedures with some down to earth models are examined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, logical controllers, their scope of application as a type of intelligent control and classification were considered. Precise logic controllers with a step-time algorithm for fuzzification of input parameters were also considered as an attempt to eliminate the main disadvantages of logic controllers with an anytime-algorithm. A logical scheme was given that implements the step-time algorithm for fuzzification of a continuous physical quantity and an analysis of expressions was carried out to increase the speed of the fuzzifier and controller with the step-time algorithm, respectively, due to the development of a system of production rules to a rule whose antecedent at the current time is equal to a logical unit, from which it is concluded that the speed of precise logical controllers with step-time algorithm has increased due to the lack of a search procedure in the system of production rules, rules with an antecedent, equal at a given time to a logical unit. Although in case of an unsuccessful arrangement of the rules in the fuzzifier production system (the rule with the highest response frequency is located at the end of the production system), the increase in the speed of the controller may be insignificant.

This paper solves the optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) problem applying sine-cosine optimization algorithm. The main intention of the ORPD problem is to reduce the real power loss in the transmission lines and maintain voltage magnitude at an acceptable level in the system network while satisfying the set of specified operational constraints. The sine-cosine algorithm is a powerful population formed algorithm for solving the optimization problems. The sine-cosine algorithm generates a number of initial candidate solutions, and progresses towards the optimal solution. The proposed method is applied to standard IEEE-14 and 30 bus systems. The simulation results compare favorably with other reported results in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Given the importance of transportation in logistics operations, the vehicle routing problem (VRP) is critical to logistics practice. The Green Vehicle Routing Problem (GVRP) is a variation of the VRP that focuses on issues related to sustainable transportation. GVRP's goal is to balance the economy and environmental costs by developing effective solutions to environmental and financial concerns. The purpose of this paper is to propose a Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA) to solve the GVRP. Using the benchmark test instance E-n23-k3, a numerical experiment is carried out to test the proposed algorithm. The results show that the SSA outperforms the Route Splitting Tabu Search (RS-TS). On average, the total cost is reduced by 1.41%. Furthermore, we show that the use of various modes of transportation affects fuel consumption, emission costs, and vehicle usage costs.

In the present paper algorithms for constructing a finite element mesh of compound domains and minimizing the ribbon width of the system of resolving equations by the finite element method (FEM) are considered. A technology for constructing a finite element mesh by connecting elementary subdomains, a semi-automatic method for partitioning a two-dimensional multiply connected domain with a curvilinear boundary, and ordering the node numbers of a finite element mesh is described. In this case, the algorithms allow, by ordering the numbering of nodes, to determine such a sequence in which the ribbon width of non-zero coefficients of the system of resolving equations by the FEM will be locally minimal.
