Due to the popularity of using the technology, network security plays a crucial role recently which supports to establish strong systems that work against cyberattacks. Furthermore, the term “network vulnerabilities” refers to the flaws in the network which attackers exploit to break security and steal...

In this paper, some swarm metaheuristic algorithms are analyzed to show the performance of algorithms. Swarm Intelligence algorithms are more trapping in local optima because of low exploration. The Moth-Flame Optimization algorithm is a widely applied metaheuristic algorithm. Nevertheless, the Ant Nesting...

In 2021, a novel metaheuristic algorithm inspired by the child’s learning behavior and cognitive development employs the golden ratio. The golden ratio was first presented by the renowned scientist Fibonacci. The ratio of two consecutive numbers in the Fibonacci sequence is alike, and it is named the...

In 2012, Amir Hossein Gandomi and Amir Hossein Alavi presented the Krill Herd algorithm (KH), a revolutionary biologically inspired method for addressing optimization tasks. On the other hand, another new and powerful metaheuristic algorithm called FOX was proposed by Hardi Mohammed and Tarik Rashid...

The interest for cryptocurrencies is high and hence this work focuses on providing a practical real-world application of the swarm metaheuristics and long short term memory model (LSTM). The goal is price forecasting which is interesting due to the high volatility of the cryptocurrencies. The authors...

Artificial intelligence and internet of things (IoT) fields have contributed to the flourishment of the industry 4.0 concept.

It also is a grave cause of several natural calamities, like landslides, floods, and drought, which pose a serious threat to the well-being of individuals. These concerns have necessitated...

Commonly, a USB flash drive is utilized for storing, transferring and backing up data like personal files, software, media files, etc. But users might not have much knowledge about its other hidden characteristics. It could also act as a replacement of CD/hard disk/DVD media as OSs handler resources...

The advent of smart technologies is going to be a paradigm shift and game changer in resolving current universal issues such as climate change, cybersecurity, health care, mental health, insecure home, food, water, and energy. Evolving smart home systems has been a prodigious and challenging task for...

The application of Deep Learning Techniques in biometrics has grown significantly during the last decade. The use of deep learning models in ear biometrics is restricted due to the lack of large ear datasets. Researchers employ transfer learning based on several pretrained models to overcome the limitations....
