Moth optimisation algorithm with local search for the permutation flow shop scheduling problem
This work investigates the use of the Moth-Flame Optimisation (MFO) algorithm in solving the Permutation Flow Shop Scheduling Problem and proposes further optimisations. MFO is a population-based approach that simulates the behaviour of real moths by ...
A distributed design of ripple-spreading algorithms for path optimisation problems
As a relatively new nature-inspired algorithm, Ripple-Spreading Algorithm (RSA) exhibits some advantageous features when resolving various Path Optimisation Problems (POPs) against both traditional deterministic algorithms and evolutionary approaches, ...
A service-based software architecture for enabling the electronic health record storage using Blockchain
The healthcare sector requires computational solutions with reliable authenticity features for the storage and retrieval of electronic health record data. To address this important issue, this article proposes a service-based software architecture to ...
AI augmentation in the field of digital image processing
All of us are very well aware that identifying the information visually is more effective and efficient for human intelligence. In this aspect, one of the primary modes of interacting within and around for understanding the situation through images can ...
Low-cost thermal explorer robot using a hybrid neural networks and intelligent bug algorithm model
Autonomous navigation requires an artificial agent able to independently move adapted to the environment. The robot sensors analyse the surrounding environment and learn from successful exploration experiences, to plot the best routes and avoid obstacles. ...
A new model of transformer operation state evaluation based on analytic hierarchy process and association rule mining
In order to establish a transformer state evaluation model for power grid operation and maintenance management, based on the aging mechanism of transformer, a state risk evaluation method based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the association ...
Robust tracking of moving hand in coloured video acquired through simple camera
Interaction through dynamic hand gestures is an interesting yet challenging area because in computer vision the hand is a non-rigid object that moves unpredictably. Additionally, the real-time backgrounds are unstable. RGB data of moving hand are ...
Detection and mitigation of attacks in SDN-based IoT network using SVM
Adapting Software Defined Networking (SDN) raises many challenges including scalability and security on the Internet of Things (IoT) network. Growing network size increases resulting in the network load in the SDN controller and facing security ...
Test and simulation of connection and failure performance of high-strength bolts in steel structure
To study the joint performance and failure characteristics of pretension high-strength bolts of fabricated steel structures, the resistance strain gauge method was used instead of the traditional torque method to analyse the loading failure of slip ...
Data science based landscape ecology for traditional village landscape protection
With the revitalisation of rural areas and the advancement of new rural construction, at present, the traditional village protection has received more attention. The optimisation of village layout is an essential issue in the protection of traditional ...
