An automatic spatial planning model of human motion image is constructed. The human motion spatial features are sampled, and the three-dimensional contour feature reconstruction model is established. The human motion spatial contour structure is reconstructed by adaptive edge feature detection method, and the knowledge graph of the motion image is extracted. Multi-scale information enhancement method is used to enhance and recognize the reliability of human motion image. The experimental results show that the method has the advantages of good reliability, high signal-to-noise ratio of image enhancement, and high accuracy of human motion recognition.","PeriodicalId":118536,"journal":{"name":"Int.

In the authors' previous work, they implemented a hybrid simulation system based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) and distributed genetic algorithm (DGA), called WMN-PSODGA. Moreover, they added to the fitness function a new parameter for mesh router load balancing a number of covered mesh clients per router (NCMCpR). In this article, the authors consider Exponential, Weibull, and Normal distributions of mesh clients and carry out a comparison study. The simulation results show that the performance of the Exponential, Weibull and Normal distributions was improved by considering load balancing when using WMN-PSODGA. For the same number of mesh clients, the Normal distribution behaves better than the other distributions. This is because all mesh clients are covered by a smaller number of mesh routers and the standard deviation is improved by effectively using NCMCpR.","PeriodicalId":118536,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.

Stock market prediction is a major challenge owing to non-stationary, blaring, and chaotic data and thus, the prediction becomes challenging among the investors to invest the money for making profits. Initially, the blockchain network is fed to the blockchain network bridge from which the bitcoin data is acquired that is followed with the bitcoin prediction. Bitcoin prediction is performed using the proposed FuzzyCSA-based Deep Long short-term memory (LSTM). At first, the flow strength indicators are extracted based on Double exponential moving average (DEMA), Rate of Change (ROCR), Average True Range (ATR), Simple Moving Average (SMA), and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) from the blockchain data. Based on the extracted features, the prediction is done using FuzzyCSA-based Deep LSTM, which is the combination of FuzzyCSA with Deep LSTM. Then, the CSA is modified using the fuzzy operator for determining the optimal weights in Deep LSTM. The experimentation of the proposed method is performed from the openly available dataset. The analysis of the method in terms of Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) reveals that the proposed FuzzyCSA-based Deep LSTM acquired a minimal MAE of 0.4811, and the minimal RMSE of 0.3905, respectively.","PeriodicalId":118536,"journal":{"name":"Int.

The authors propose Minimum Energy in the TBFCG tree (MET) and selecting Multiple Parents for recovery in the TBFCG tree (MPT) algorithms to select a new parent node for the disconnected nodes. A new parent node has to process data from not only the disconnected nodes, but also its own child nodes.

As sensors have limited battery power, many energy aware protocols based on negotiation, clustering, and agents have been developed to increase lifetime of the network. This article finds limitation with some multi-agent-based protocols as they place the sink node at the centre of the monitoring region which is quite difficult in hard-to-reach areas. Therefore, a multi-agent-based energy and fault-aware protocol for hard-to-reach territories (MAHT) is proposed which uses technique of impact factor to identify the high power capability of the central node and dynamic itinerary planning to make the protocol fault tolerant. Its agent migration technique results in improvement ofn energy efficiency, task completion time and network lifetime. MAHT is simulated using Castalia simulator and the impact of payload size, network size, node failures, etc., on various performance metrics is analysed.

The semi-permeable agent for hybrid cloud scheduling (SPAH) is a bio-inspired agent that adapts the biological process of osmosis into cloud bursting. The primary objective of the agent is to minimize the makespan. The framework and algorithm for the two phases of SPAH, to recognize the state and decide on action are presented. A QoS (Quality of Service) deadline factor metric is proposed to study the indirect impact of SPAH in deadline satisfaction. SPAH shows significant improvement in deadline satisfaction of up to 85% as compared to other cloud bursting techniques. This is the result of a reduced makespan and a reduced cumulative waiting time. The analysis of SPAH shows that it works in quadratic time complexity.","PeriodicalId":118536,"journal":{"name":"Int.

The latter is based on mono modal approach (only scalar sensors were considered for data sensing), by adopting a new multimodal and cooperative approach in which it added the acquisition of much richer information using the image sensor in order to minimize false alarms that represents the main weakness for the old system. The validation of the proposal was performed by comparing two detection techniques (Canadian and Korean) in terms of time constraint and energy consumption. The results of the practical assessment confirmed the importance of the multimodal approach and also revealed the supremacy of the Canadian method and its compliance to the climate of Algeria's region.","PeriodicalId":118536,"journal":{"name":"Int.
