Abstract Skin cancer segmentation is a critical task in a clinical decision support system for skin cancer detection. The suggested enhanced cuckoo search based optimization model will be used to evaluate several metrics in the skin cancer picture segmentation process. Because time and resources are always limited, the proposed enhanced cuckoo search optimization algorithm is one of the most effective strategies for dealing with global optimization difficulties. One of the most significant requirements is to design optimal solutions to optimize their use. There is no particular technique that can answer all optimization issues. The proposed enhanced cuckoo search optimization method indicates… More >

Abstract In recent years, cloud computing has provided a Software As A Service (SaaS) platform where the software can be reused and applied to fulfill complicated user demands according to specific Quality of Services (QoS) constraints. The user requirements are formulated as a workflow consisting of a set of tasks. However, many services may satisfy the functionality of each task; thus, searching for the composition of the optimal service while maximizing the QoS is formulated as an NP-hard problem. This work will introduce a hybrid Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) with a Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithm to untangle service composition problem. The… More >

Abstract Malware Security Intelligence constitutes the analysis of applications and their associated metadata for possible security threats. Application Programming Interfaces (API) calls contain valuable information that can help with malware identification. The malware analysis with reduced feature space helps for the efficient identification of malware. The goal of this research is to find the most informative features of API calls to improve the android malware detection accuracy. Three swarm optimization methods, viz., Ant Lion Optimization (ALO), Cuckoo Search Optimization (CSO), and Firefly Optimization (FO) are applied to API calls using auto-encoders for identification of most influential features.

It has many merits such as fast convergence, simple tunning, and high efficiency. Commonly, the PV and wind energies are suitable for supplying loads under normal conditions. However, the energy storage system recovers the excess load demand. The load frequency and voltage are regulated using the CSA optimal… More >

Abstract Data packet drop can happen in Optical Burst-Switched (OBS) when two data bursts are competing on the same wavelength. Recently, many techniques have been developed to solve this problem but they do not consider the congestion. Also, it is necessary to balance the load system in the OBS network. The Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) technique can be applied to determine the straight and the safest route. However, the ACO technique raises both power utilization as well as the execution time. In this study, Cuckoo Search (CS) and ACO methods based approach is proposed to avoid the congestion and load balancing… More >

Abstract Computer-aided arrhythmia prediction from ECG (electrocardiograms) is essential in clinical practices, which promises to reduce the mortality caused by inexperienced clinical practitioners. Moreover, computer-aided methods often succeed in the early detection of arrhythmia scope from electrocardiogram reports. Machine learning is the buzz of computer-aided clinical practices. Particularly, computer-aided arrhythmia prediction methods highly adopted machine learning methods.

Abstract The essential purpose of radar is to detect a target of interest and provide information concerning the target's location, motion, size, and other parameters. The knowledge about the pulse trains’ properties shows that a class of signals is mainly well suited to digital processing of increasing practical importance. A low autocorrelation binary sequence (LABS) is a complex combinatorial problem. The main problems of LABS are low Merit Factor (MF) and shorter length sequences. Besides, the maximum possible MF equals 12.3248 as infinity length is unable to be achieved. Therefore, this study implemented two techniques to propose a new metaheuristic algorithm… More >
