This research offers four work and computer tool setups. The dynamic Resource Allocation Algorithm is crucial to the system.  This lets you manage changing supply. Once the PWMA knows how much work is coming up, it may divide resources and plan. The Load Balancing Algorithm (LBA) distributes work evenly to avoid over- or under-utilization and it also provides access content faster via the Adaptive Caching Algorithm (ACA). The proposed system surpasses the top alternative in several domains, such as data transmission, reaction time, energy conservation, load distribution effectiveness, and recovery time from failures. This is because the suggested solution incorporates many disparate approaches. Graphs and charts are visual representations that effectively illustrate the similarities and differences between the two methodologies. The hybrid technique is especially beneficial when the workload is unpredictable and prone to fluctuations. To do this, it instructs you on the fundamentals of efficient and adaptable computer resource management.

Ashwini Patil , Puneet Dwivedi

This study presents a hybrid recognition system for multi-class compound Marathi characters, which addresses the problem of handwritten Marathi character recognition. The methodology efficiently bridges the gap between feature extraction and classification by integrating a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The first step is gathering and preprocessing a wide range of handwritten Marathi compound characters that are written in different styles. Using conventional supervised learning methods, the CNN is trained on this dataset, paying special attention to data augmentation and validation in order to reduce overfitting. High-level features taken from the final fully connected layer of the CNN are fed into an SVM classifier in the next step. By using these features in its training, the SVM improves prediction accuracy. For multi-class classification, the one-vs-all method is used. The hybrid CNN-SVM algorithm demonstrates its effectiveness in the crucial phases of feature extraction and classification by identifying handwritten compound Marathi characters with remarkable accuracy. Evaluation metrics, such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and confusion matrix analysis, are employed in the process of evaluating the effectiveness of the model. This assessment is carried out on a different testing dataset, offering a thorough examination of the model's functionality. The proposed algorithm demonstrates its superior performance and potential for improved character recognition by achieving training accuracy of 98.60% and validation accuracy of 97.69%. The development of handwriting recognition systems has benefited greatly from this research, especially when it comes to intricate scripts like Marathi. The suggested hybrid algorithm shows encouraging outcomes and has a great deal of potential for use in document processing, natural language comprehension, and character recognition in languages that use the Marathi script. Subsequent efforts will centre on refining the model and investigating ensemble methods to increase the robustness and accuracy of recognition.

Abhishek Kumar , Samta Jain Goyal , Sumit Kumar , Hitesh Kumar Sharma

The rapid adoption of the Internet of Things throughout healthcare and smart city construction has led to a rise in networked devices and security issues. This work suggests new techniques to improve IoT safety and maximise computing resources. We develop a complete security architecture integrating lightweight cryptography, blockchain, machine learning anomaly detection, and federated learning. We did so because we know that traditional security measures are inadequate for the Internet of Things. The lightweight cryptographic algorithm (LCA) provides efficient encryption and decryption, making it ideal for low-resource Internet of Things devices. Twenty processes comprise the LCA design. These operations include key generation, data encryption, digital signatures, and integrity checking. These procedures secure IoT data transfers. ADML detects anomalies in encrypted Internet of Things data using machine learning. This approach may identify security issues better. To keep up with data trends, this method extracts features, trains models, and updates them. Blockchain-based data integrity (BDI) is the third element. Blockchain ensures that Internet of Things data is reliable and full. BDI developed an immutable ledger solution to increase IoT data security and dependability. This data integrity system generates blocks, hashes, confirms blocks, and updates the blockchain. Fourth, FLIoT (Federated Learning for the Internet of Things) emphasises data privacy and collaborative model training across IoT devices. Foundation for the Internet of Things (FIoT) protocols and standards aim to increase IoT devices' collective intelligence while safeguarding users' privacy. It includes local model training, model aggregation, and the latest global model distribution. Our work also uses Secure Multi-party Computation (SMC) to analyse data more thoroughly and continuously, addressing online transaction cybersecurity issues. The framework outperforms the current state of the art in memory use, energy consumption, anomaly detection accuracy and precision, and encryption and decryption time. The "Hybrid Fusion Framework" combines lightweight cryptographic algorithms with federated learning, machine learning, blockchain technology, and other similar technologies to provide an effective, adaptable, and affordable IoT security solution.

A Hybrid Meta-Heuristic Approach for Test Case Prioritization and Optimization

Heba Mohammed Fadhil , Mohammed Issam Younis

The application of the test case prioritization method is a key part of system testing intended to think it through and sort out the issues early in the development stage. Traditional prioritization techniques frequently fail to take into account the complexities of big-scale test suites, growing systems and time constraints, therefore cannot fully fix this problem. The proposed study here will deal with a meta-heuristic hybrid method that focuses on addressing the challenges of the modern time. The strategy utilizes genetic algorithms alongside a black hole as a means to create a smooth tradeoff between exploring numerous possibilities and exploiting the best one. The proposed hybrid algorithm of genetic black hole (HGBH) uses the capabilities of considering the imperatives such as code coverage, fault finding rate and execution time from search algorithms in our hybrid approach to refine test cases considerations repetitively. The strategy accomplished this by putting experiments on a large-scale project of industrial software developed. The hybrid meta-heuristic technique ends up being better than the routine techniques. It helps in higher code coverage, which, in turn, enables to detect crucial defects at an early stage and also to allocate the testing resources in a better way. In particular, the best APFD value was 0.9321, which was achieved in 6 generations with 4.879 seconds the value to which the computer was run. Besides these, , the approach resulted in the mean value of APFD as 0.9247 and 0.9302  seconds which took from 10.509 seconds to 30.372 seconds. The carried out experiment proves the feasibility of this approach in implementing complex systems and consistently detecting the changes, enabling it to adapt to rapidly changing systems. In the end, this research provides us with a new hybrid meta-heuristic way of test case prioritization and optimization, which, in turn, helps to tackle the obstacles caused by large-scale test cases and constantly changing systems.

These optimized features are then fed into a neural network for training and classification. The effectiveness of the proposed approach was evaluated through precision, recall, and F-measure analyses, demonstrating superior detection capabilities for DDoS and malware attacks compared to existing methods. Furthermore, we introduce a hybrid approach that combines Swarm Intelligence (SI) and nature-inspired techniques. The GA is utilized to select features and reduce the dataset size, followed by the application of Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) with Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) to further filter irrelevant features. The results show that this hybrid approach significantly enhances the accuracy and efficiency of network attack detection in wide area networks.

In today's digital era, ensuring robust and secure authentication mechanisms is crucial. Multi-fusion biometric authentication systems have emerged as a powerful solution to enhance security and reliability by integrating multiple biometric traits. This paper presents a novel Multi-Fusion Biometric Authentication approach using Minutiae-Driven Fixed-Size Template Matching (MFTM). The proposed method leverages the unique features of minutiae points in fingerprints and combines them with other biometric modalities, such as iris and facial recognition, to create a fixed-size template for matching. The fusion process involves extracting and normalizing minutiae points from the fingerprint, followed by their integration with iris and facial features using a robust feature fusion algorithm. The fixed-size template ensures consistency and efficiency in the matching process, addressing challenges related to template size variability and computational overhead. Extensive experiments conducted on standard biometric datasets demonstrate that the proposed MFTM approach significantly enhances authentication accuracy, reduces false acceptance and rejection rates, and provides a highly secure and scalable authentication solution suitable for various applications, including access control and identity verification. The results show an authentication accuracy of 98.7%, a false acceptance rate (FAR) of 0.2%, and a false rejection rate (FRR) of 0.5%. Additionally, the computational time for matching is reduced by 25% compared to traditional methods, highlighting the efficiency and practicality of the proposed approach.

A more extensive attack surface for cyber incursions has resulted from the fast expansion of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, calling for more stringent security protocols. This research introduces a new method for protecting Internet of Things (IoT) networks against intrusion assaults by combining Game Theory with Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). Various cyber dangers are becoming more common as a result of the networked nature and frequently inadequate security measures of IoT devices. Because these threats are ever-changing and intricate, traditional security measures can't keep up. An effective optimization method for allocating resources and pathfinding is provided by ACO, which takes its cues from the foraging behavior of ants, while Game Theory provides a strategic framework for modeling the interactions between attackers and defenders. Attackers and defenders in the proposed system are modeled as players in a game where the objective is to maximize their payout. Minimizing damage by anticipating and minimizing assaults is the defender's task. The monitoring pathways are optimized and resources are allocated effectively with the help of ACO. In response to changes in network conditions, the system dynamically modifies defensive tactics by updating the game model in real time. The results of the simulation show that the suggested method successfully increases the security of the Internet of Things. Compared to 87.4% using conventional approaches, the detection accuracy increased to 95.8%. From 10.5 seconds down to 7.3 seconds, the average reaction time to identified incursions was cut in half. Furthermore, there was a 20% improvement in resource utilization efficiency, guaranteeing that defensive and monitoring resources were allocated optimally. Internet of Things (IoT) network security is greatly improved by combining Game Theory with Ant Colony Optimization. In addition to enhancing detection accuracy and reaction times, this combination method guarantees resource efficiency. The results demonstrate the practicality of this approach, which offers a solid foundation for protecting Internet of Things devices from ever-changing cyber dangers.
