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]

The emergence of Industry 4.0 leads to the latest technology, and blockchain is one of them. Blockchain guarantees transparency, decentralization and protection of a transaction. It revolutionizes industries where entrust and security have vital significance. In the blockchain network, data is recorded in the form of blocks. The first block of the blockchain network is acknowledged as Genesis-Block. The rest of the blocks are added to the blockchain in chronological order so that participants entities can keep an eye on digital transactions deprived of the interference of third parties or central authorities. Transactions on the blockchain network require a set of rules and regulations. These rules are known as consensus algorithms. The consensus algorithm is a procedure employed for common agreement, validation, verification, and confirmation of transactions in a blockchain network. Examples of popular consensus algorithms are Proof-of-Work (PoW), Proof-of-Burn (PoB), Proof-of- Stake (BoS), Directed-Acyclic-Graph (DAG), Practical-Byzantine-Fault-Tolerance (PBFT), Proof-of-Elapsed-Time (PoET), etc. Initially, the paper introduces the evolution and categorization of blockchain networks. Subsequently, a brief discussion on available consensus algorithms and the inclusion process of a node in blockchain networks. Furthermore, the paper compares existing blockchain consensus algorithms based on various significant parameters such as scalability, transaction rate, tolerated power, etc. [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.

This paper examines the use of mobile phone sensor data to identify transportation mode detection using the K-nearest Neighbor algorithm. The model tries to recognize the walking, still walking, Bus, Train, and Car transportation modes. One of the normalization methods, such as the Min-Max normalization or the Z-Score Normalization, is implemented to pre-process the data. It uses four distance methods such as Euclidian, Manhattan, Chebyshev, and Minkowski as distance calculation mechanisms. Based on the highest accuracy result, the model is selected. The analysis also concluded that the optimal model has the highest accuracy, which has validated the results achieved through extensive normalization methods and the choosing of the most appropriate distance functions. As a result, the outcomes of the research have further indicated the importance of selecting the appropriate normalization techniques and distance functions on the accuracy of the model used in transportation detection. Additionally, the results have also provided critical additional knowledge in the development and formation of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Within the domain of robotics and related fields, path planning algorithms have perennially posed a profoundly challenging problem, marked by an ongoing quest for refinement without attaining a universally perfect solution. Among the spectrum of path planning algorithms, A* algorithm stands out as a relatively stable and efficient approach. This paper presents improvements to the conventional A* algorithm by introducing several key modifications. Firstly, it adopts the Euclidean distance metric instead of the Manhattan distance, thereby mitigating the proclivity of the algorithm for diagonal movements. Secondly, the dynamic weight parameterization is introduced, markedly amplifying computational efficiency. In exemplar map scenarios, this augmentation yields a reduction of approximately 50% in program execution time compared to the conventional A* algorithm. Lastly, the integration of Bezier curves serves to optimize path inflections, imparting a smoother trajectory. This approach substitutes discrete grid-based path planning inflection points with continuous curves, obviating the need for abrupt halts and turns in the trajectory of the robot during actual execution. Incorporating the stability and optimality inherited from the traditional A* algorithm, this algorithm enhances program execution speed while reducing inflection points in the route, substituting them with smooth curves. The results identify an improved A* method as an important improvement in path planning, which greatly improves the computational and operational efficiency related to robot motion in production practice.

In this paper, reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) and Deep Q Networks (DQN) are applied into the setting of autonomous driving research. A highway environment is formalized into a Markov Decision Process, and a simulated highway environment is constructed in compatible with Gymnasium. In this simulated environment, comparisons of PPO and DQN algorithm performance are investigated under different traffic load and vehicle starting position - main road and onramp - in terms of total return gained during an episode of highway driving after training all algorithms for the same number of timesteps. The total return takes driving speed and safety into account to connect with real world driving convention. According to the result, PPO algorithms achieve higher average return and lower standard deviation, indicating their ability to achieve more stable high-quality performance. All trained algorithms are able to drive quickly on the road and avoid other vehicles, demonstrating the potential of reinforcement learning in the application of complete driving automation.

Path planning plays a key role in autonomous robot research. This paper studies in detail three of the various path planning algorithms for autonomous robots, including the A-Star path planning algorithm, unit decomposition, and rapid exploration of random trees (RRT). The A-Star algorithm determines the shortest route between two points in a graph. The principle is to calculate the distance between the starting point and the end point, select the shortest point, and then recalculate the distance and select the shortest route until reaching the target point. RRT can be used for path planning in multi-dimensional, complex spaces. The main principle is to randomly generate points in the map and connect them to the nearest nodes to form Cell decomposition is to divide the plane space into units of different sizes, turn the complex space into a simple space, and use the A-Star path planning algorithm to calculate the shortest path from the starting point to the target point. This article chooses experiments with different formers to analyze the application of various algorithms. Finally, this article concludes that cell decomposition divides simple geometric maps and uses the A-Star algorithm to plan paths, which can make the route on the geometric map more accurate. Different extension algorithms of RRT can be used in scenarios that require high accuracy, high quality, and reasonable computational costs. A-Star is also a suitable choice for quick route planning. This study conducts a comprehensive study of autonomous robot path planning algorithms, which will help future research select the most appropriate algorithm based on specific application requirements.

Path planning is a key problem that needs to be studied in the field of automated guided vehicles. Its ultimate goal is to accomplish the movement of the AGV from the initial target point to the final target point. Although many mature algorithms can achieve this goal. In practical applications, problems of dynamic obstacle avoidance and global movement combination still exist due to the complexity and dynamics of the application scenarios. The map needs real-time control of the position, posture, and kinematic parameters of Automated Guided Vehicles to solve this problem. Based on these issues, this paper combines global path planning with local path planning algorithms to achieve algorithm fusion. Then, it constructs a warehouse scene in Gazebo and simulates the operation of the AGV. Finally, it compares the accuracy of the fusion algorithms, obstacle avoidance techniques, and search speed. Choose the fusion algorithm of the A* hybrid algorithm and the TEB algorithm as the optimal solution for the shortest and smoothest path in practice. Compared to traditional algorithms, there is a 220%-615.8% improvement in time. With the help of this algorithm, intelligent warehouse operations may operate more effectively and the risk of accidents can be decreased. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Presently, path-planning algorithms play an important role in unmanned robots. In coverage of these algorithms, scientists try to seek some ways to improve those traditional algorithms. For example, A* was invented to solve Dijkstra's problem, of searching for targets slowly, using a heuristic function. Although these algorithms have been significantly improved, these changes still cannot adapt to special environments, such as amphibious environments and complex traffic environments. In this paper, four conventional algorithms are analyzed to test them in a similar traffic map to find their weakness and merits. First, we propose to design a map with different extents of traffic congestion on different roads. Then, four algorithms, A*, Probabilistic Roadmap Method, Artificial Potential Field, and Rapidly Exploring Random Tree series, are applied in this map to search for a road from the initial point to the goal point. Finally, all results are recorded and compared with other algorithms to investigate their effectiveness and disadvantages. Experiments with randomly generated paths in the map are conducted to demonstrate the proposed approach. The experimental results are concluded in the end. The A* algorithm is a suitable choice when solving the shortest path problems. The RRT series can search for a road frequently. For the APF, it is confirmed that it has a significant usage in selecting a path with less congestion and the PRM method can complete the same task as well with a certain possibility of failure in path planning. This study is of great importance for discovering the directions of future research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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 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.

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]

The method is implemented by reversing the arrow of time in order to damp diffusion. Only one step is enough to reconstruct the edges of a corrupted picture affected by average blur. Thus, the procedure turns out to be extremely efficient. [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 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. This survey aims to help future researchers on fog application placement problems to identify evaluation environment based on selected algorithm type and objective metrics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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.

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.

Huge number of nodes of sensor make wireless sensor networks (WSNs) that not just gather data associated with various happenings but also submit those events to central station hop-by-hop. Data submitted through nodes of neighbor may be extra as well as duplicate. In addition, generated data number in wide WSNs might be a lot to be processed in sink. The most essential variable for gathering WSNs data is optimum energy usage to integrate also gather data.

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.

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]

This paper proposes an extended algorithmic approach to investigate a method to reset lost RFID tags in cows and thus improve the efficiency of livestock management systems. The intricacies of RFID technology, the importance of livestock management in modern agriculture, and various factors that cause tag loss are studied. However, the focus of our discussion is on presenting an algorithmic solution that not only detects missing tags, but also simplifies the tag reset process and uses resources efficiently.

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. In order to overcome the challenges, Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has penetrated into the field of medicine particularly in the renal department. The evolution of AI in kidney therapies improve the process of diagnosis through several Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) algorithms. It has the capability of improving and influencing on the status with its capacity of learning from the massive data and apply them accordingly to differentiate on the circumstances. The storage of larger data and segmentation with AI assistance are highly helpful for the analysis of occurrence of the disease. AI algorithms have predicted the severity of tumor stages with effective accuracies. Hence, this paper provides a critical review of different AI based algorithms being used in the kidney tumor prognostication. Its numerous benefits in field of segmentation have been researched from the existing works and provides an insight on the contribution of AI in the kidney disease prediction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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.

This paper describes an approach to improving the process of resource redistribution in a coevolutionary algorithm using a fuzzy logic system. Two bases of fuzzy rules are proposed for setting the size of the fine and the social card for the losing coevolution algorithms. The effectiveness of the developed fuzzy system was studied in comparison with the usual co-evolutionary algorithm without integration of fuzzy control procedures. [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.
