    Multi-Criteria Decision-Making for Power Grid Construction Project Investment Ranking Based on the Prospect Theory Improved by Rewarding Good and Punishing Bad Linear Transformation

    Shun Ma1, Na Yu1, Xiuna Wang2, Shiyan Mei1, Mingrui Zhao2,*, Xiaoyu Han2

    Energy Engineering, Vol.120, No.10, pp. 2369-2392, 2023, DOI:10.32604/ee.2023.028727

    Abstract Using the improved prospect theory with the linear transformations of rewarding good and punishing bad (RGPBIT), a new investment ranking model for power grid construction projects (PGCPs) is proposed. Given the uncertainty of each index value under the market environment, fuzzy numbers are used to describe qualitative indicators and interval numbers are used to describe quantitative ones. Taking into account decision-maker’s subjective risk attitudes, a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method based on improved prospect theory is proposed. First, the [−1, 1] RGPBIT operator is proposed to normalize the original data, to obtain the best and worst schemes of PGCPs. Furthermore, the… More >

    Fusion of Feature Ranking Methods for an Effective Intrusion Detection System

    Seshu Bhavani Mallampati1, Seetha Hari2,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.76, No.2, pp. 1721-1744, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.040567

    Abstract Expanding internet-connected services has increased cyberattacks, many of which have grave and disastrous repercussions. An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) plays an essential role in network security since it helps to protect the network from vulnerabilities and attacks. Although extensive research was reported in IDS, detecting novel intrusions with optimal features and reducing false alarm rates are still challenging. Therefore, we developed a novel fusion-based feature importance method to reduce the high dimensional feature space, which helps to identify attacks accurately with less false alarm rate. Initially, to improve training data quality, various preprocessing techniques are utilized. The Adaptive Synthetic oversampling… More >

    A Novel Hybrid Optimization Algorithm for Materialized View Selection from Data Warehouse Environments

    Popuri Srinivasarao, Aravapalli Rama Satish*

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.47, No.2, pp. 1527-1547, 2023, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.038951

    Abstract Responding to complex analytical queries in the data warehouse (DW) is one of the most challenging tasks that require prompt attention. The problem of materialized view (MV) selection relies on selecting the most optimal views that can respond to more queries simultaneously. This work introduces a combined approach in which the constraint handling process is combined with metaheuristics to select the most optimal subset of DW views from DWs. The proposed work initially refines the solution to enable a feasible selection of views using the ensemble constraint handling technique (ECHT). The constraints such as self-adaptive penalty, epsilon (ε)-parameter and stochastic… More >

    Modified Computational Ranking Model for Cloud Trust Factor Using Fuzzy Logic

    Lei Shen*, Ting Huang, Nishui Cai, Hao Wu

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.37, No.1, pp. 507-524, 2023, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2023.037640

    Abstract Through the use of the internet and cloud computing, users may access their data as well as the programmes they have installed. It is now more challenging than ever before to choose which cloud service providers to take advantage of. When it comes to the dependability of the cloud infrastructure service, those who supply cloud services, as well as those who seek cloud services, have an equal responsibility to exercise utmost care. Because of this, further caution is required to ensure that the appropriate values are reached in light of the ever-increasing need for correct decision-making. The purpose of this… More >

    Machine Learning for Hybrid Line Stability Ranking Index in Polynomial Load Modeling under Contingency Conditions

    P. Venkatesh1,*, N. Visali2

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.37, No.1, pp. 1001-1012, 2023, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2023.036268

    Abstract In the conventional technique, in the evaluation of the severity index, clustering and loading suffer from more iteration leading to more computational delay. Hence this research article identifies, a novel progression for fast predicting the severity of the line and clustering by incorporating machine learning aspects. The polynomial load modelling or ZIP (constant impedances (Z), Constant Current (I) and Constant active power (P)) is developed in the IEEE-14 and Indian 118 bus systems considered for analysis of power system security. The process of finding the severity of the line using a Hybrid Line Stability Ranking Index (HLSRI) is used for… More >

    Google Scholar University Ranking Algorithm to Evaluate the Quality of Institutional Research

    Noor Ul Sabah1, Muhammad Murad Khan1,*, Ramzan Talib1, Muhammad Anwar2, Muhammad Sheraz Arshad Malik3, Puteri Nor Ellyza Nohuddin4

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.75, No.3, pp. 4955-4972, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.037436

    Abstract Education quality has undoubtedly become an important local and international benchmark for education, and an institute’s ranking is assessed based on the quality of education, research projects, theses, and dissertations, which has always been controversial. Hence, this research paper is influenced by the institutes ranking all over the world. The data of institutes are obtained through Google Scholar (GS), as input to investigate the United Kingdom’s Research Excellence Framework (UK-REF) process. For this purpose, the current research used a Bespoke Program to evaluate the institutes’ ranking based on their source. The bespoke program requires changes to improve the results by… More >

    Advanced DAG-Based Ranking (ADR) Protocol for Blockchain Scalability

    Tayyaba Noreen1,*, Qiufen Xia1, Muhammad Zeeshan Haider2

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.75, No.2, pp. 2593-2613, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.036139

    Abstract In the past decade, blockchain has evolved as a promising solution to develop secure distributed ledgers and has gained massive attention. However, current blockchain systems face the problems of limited throughput, poor scalability, and high latency. Due to the failure of consensus algorithms in managing nodes’identities, blockchain technology is considered inappropriate for many applications, e.g., in IoT environments, because of poor scalability. This paper proposes a blockchain consensus mechanism called the Advanced DAG-based Ranking (ADR) protocol to improve blockchain scalability and throughput. The ADR protocol uses the directed acyclic graph ledger, where nodes are placed according to their ranking positions… More >

    Novel Multimodal Biometric Feature Extraction for Precise Human Identification

    J. Vasavi1, M. S. Abirami2,*

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.36, No.2, pp. 1349-1363, 2023, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2023.032604

    Abstract In recent years, biometric sensors are applicable for identifying important individual information and accessing the control using various identifiers by including the characteristics like a fingerprint, palm print, iris recognition, and so on. However, the precise identification of human features is still physically challenging in humans during their lifetime resulting in a variance in their appearance or features. In response to these challenges, a novel Multimodal Biometric Feature Extraction (MBFE) model is proposed to extract the features from the noisy sensor data using a modified Ranking-based Deep Convolution Neural Network (RDCNN). The proposed MBFE model enables the feature extraction from… More >
