Abstract In modern scenarios, Industry 4.0 entails invention with various advanced technology, and blockchain is one among them. Blockchains are incorporated to enhance privacy, data transparency as well as security for both large and small scale enterprises. Industry 4.0 is considered as a new synthesis fabrication technique that permits the manufacturers to attain their target effectively. However, because numerous devices and machines are involved, data security and privacy are always concerns. To achieve intelligence in Industry 4.0, blockchain technologies can overcome potential cybersecurity constraints. Nowadays, the blockchain and internet of things (IoT) are gaining more attention because of their favorable outcome… More >

Abstract Optimization plays an effective role in various disciplines of science and engineering. Optimization problems should either be optimized using the appropriate method (i.e., minimization or maximization). Optimization algorithms are one of the efficient and effective methods in providing quasi-optimal solutions for these type of problems. In this study, a new algorithm called the Mutated Leader Algorithm (MLA) is presented. The main idea in the proposed MLA is to update the members of the algorithm population in the search space based on the guidance of a mutated leader. In addition to information about the best member of the population, the mutated… More >
