Abstract Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) possesses unique characteristics which makes it vulnerable to security threats. In MANET, it is highly challenging to protect the nodes from cyberattacks. Power conservation improves both life time of nodes as well as the network. Computational capabilities and memory constraints are critical issues in the implementation of cryptographic techniques. Energy and security are two important factors that need to be considered for improving the performance of MANET. So, the incorporation of an energy efficient secure routing protocol becomes inevitable to ensure appropriate action upon the network. The nodes present in a network are limited due… More >

Abstract Cloud computing is a collection of disparate resources or services, a web of massive infrastructures, which is aimed at achieving maximum utilization with higher availability at a minimized cost. One of the most attractive applications for cloud computing is the concept of distributed information processing. Security, privacy, energy saving, reliability and load balancing are the major challenges facing cloud computing and most information technology innovations. Load balancing is the process of redistributing workload among all nodes in a network; to improve resource utilization and job response time, while avoiding overloading some nodes when other nodes are underloaded or idle is… More >

Abstract Much of our daily tasks have been computerized by machines and sensors communicating with each other in real-time. There is a reasonable risk that something could go wrong because there are a lot of sensors producing a lot of data. Combinatorial testing (CT) can be used in this case to reduce risks and ensure conformance to specifications. Numerous existing meta-heuristic-based solutions aim to assist the test suite generation for combinatorial testing, also known as t-way testing (where t indicates the interaction strength), viewed as an optimization problem. Much previous research, while helpful, only investigated a small number of interaction strengths… More >

Abstract Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are considered the backbone of the Internet of Things (IoT), which enables sensor nodes (SNs) to achieve applications similarly to human intelligence. However, integrating a WSN with the IoT is challenging and causes issues that require careful exploration. Prolonging the lifetime of a network through appropriately utilising energy consumption is among the essential challenges due to the limited resources of SNs. Thus, recent research has examined mobile sinks (MSs), which have been introduced to improve the overall efficiency of WSNs. MSs bear the burden of data collection instead of consuming energy at the routeing by SNs.… More >

Abstract The alignment operation between many protein sequences or DNA sequences related to the scientific bioinformatics application is very complex. There is a trade-off in the objectives in the existing techniques of Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA). The techniques that concern with speed ignore accuracy, whereas techniques that concern with accuracy ignore speed. The term alignment means to get the similarity in different sequences with high accuracy. The more growing number of sequences leads to a very complex and complicated problem. Because of the emergence; rapid development; and dependence on gene sequencing, sequence alignment has become important in every biological relationship analysis… More >

Abstract The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is utilized for collecting enormous real time information driven traffics and alert drivers depending on situations. In recent times, all smart vehicles are developed with IoT devices. These devices communicate with a radio access unit (RAU) at road side. Moreover, a 5G system is equipped with a base station and connection interfaces that use optic fiber for their effective communication. For a fast mode of communication, the IoV must offload its data to the nearest edge nodes. The main problem with the IoV is that it generates enormous data which is offloaded randomly during the… More >

Abstract Traffic flow forecasting is the need of the hour requirement in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Various Artificial Intelligence Frameworks and Machine Learning Models are incorporated in today’s ITS to enhance forecasting. Tuning the model parameters play a vital role in designing an efficient model to improve the reliability of forecasting. Hence, the primary objective of this research is to propose a novel hybrid framework to tune the parameters of Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) using the Swarm Intelligence technique called Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The proposed MLP-PSO framework is designed to adjust the weights and bias parameters of MLP dynamically using PSO… More >

Abstract Big data are regarded as a tremendous technology for processing a huge variety of data in a short time and with a large storage capacity. The user’s access over the internet creates massive data processing over the internet. Big data require an intelligent feature selection model by addressing huge varieties of data. Traditional feature selection techniques are only applicable to simple data mining. Intelligent techniques are needed in big data processing and machine learning for an efficient classification. Major feature selection algorithms read the input features as they are. Then, the features are preprocessed and classified. Here, an algorithm does… More >

Abstract Finding a suitable solution to an optimization problem designed in science is a major challenge. Therefore, these must be addressed utilizing proper approaches. Based on a random search space, optimization algorithms can find acceptable solutions to problems. Archery Algorithm (AA) is a new stochastic approach for addressing optimization problems that is discussed in this study. The fundamental idea of developing the suggested AA is to imitate the archer's shooting behavior toward the target panel. The proposed algorithm updates the location of each member of the population in each dimension of the search space by a member randomly marked by the… More >
