This paper presents a proof of concept, further referred as a PoC solution, based on the Internet of Things technology which proposes a smart monitoring system using machine learning processes, diligently combining the power of edge computing by means of communication and control. Beehive maintenance is improved, having an optimal state of health due to the Deep Learning inference triggered at the edge level of devices which processes hive’s noises. All this is achieved by using IoT sensors to collect data, extract important features and a Tiny ML network for decision support.

Despite their widespread adoption, IoT devices encounter challenges related to processing capabilities and connectivity, frequently necessitating the delegation of tasks to remote cloud servers. This offloading, essential for enhancing user experience, poses challenges, particularly for latency-sensitive applications. Edge-centric paradigms like fog and mist computing have emerged to address these challenges, bringing computational resources closer to end-users. However, efficiently managing task offloading in dynamic IoT environments remains a complex issue. This paper introduces DIstributed COmputing for MIST (dicomist), a methodology designed to facilitate task offloading in IoT settings. Dicomist utilizes wireless mesh networks to organize mobile nodes, employing clustering and classification techniques. Tasks are treated as consensus problems, enabling distributed computation among selected nodes. Real-world experiments demonstrate dicomist’s effectiveness, underscoring its potential to enhance task offloading in IoT environments.","PeriodicalId":179619,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Comput.

Upper and lower approximate interval dominance degrees are defined and aggregated using dynamic weights to obtain pairwise comparisons of IRNs. The properties of dominance are verified, and an attribute weight determination method based on the dominance balance degree is introduced. The proposed MADM method is data-driven and does not rely on the subjective preferences of decision-makers. Case analysis demonstrates the effectiveness and rationality of the proposed method, revealing that the distribution type of IRNs significantly impacts decision results, potentially leading to reversed ranking outcomes. The proposed method offers a comprehensive framework for handling MADM problems with IRNs under different distributions.","PeriodicalId":179619,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Comput. Commun.

This study proposes an optimized R-Net algorithm based on a feature pyramid network (FPN) and densely connected convolutional network (D-Net) for transmission line fault diagnosis and localization. The R-Net network is enhanced by reshaping the anchor points using an improved K-means algorithm and incorporating an FPN for multi-scale feature extraction. The backbone network is further optimized using D-Net to strengthen inter-layer connections and improve feature reuse. Experimental results demonstrate that the optimized R-Net achieves an overall average accuracy of 0.64, outperforming the original network by 1.30%. The accuracy improvement is particularly significant for ground wire defects (2.40%). The D-Net-based R-Net, despite having fewer parameters, maintains high accuracy (0.6502). Compared to other object detection algorithms, such as YOLO-v3 and Faster R-CNN, the optimized R-Net exhibits superior performance in terms of mean average precision (15.58% and 2.45% higher, respectively) and parameter efficiency (17M vs. 38M and 81M). Considering both performance and speed, the optimized R-Net achieves a processing rate of 10.5 frames per second. This study provides an efficient and accurate tool for transmission line fault diagnosis and localization, with significant practical implications for power system operation and maintenance.","PeriodicalId":179619,"journal":{"name":"Int.

However, the daily peak load forecasting problem, especially for holidays, is fuzzy and highly nonlinear. In order to address the nonlinearity and fuzziness of the holiday load behaviors, a grammatical evolution-based fuzzy regression approach is proposed in this paper. The proposed hybrid approach is based on the theorem that fuzzy polynomial regression can model all fuzzy functions. It employs the rules of the grammatical evolution to generate fuzzy nonlinear structures in polynomial form. Then, a two-stage fuzzy regression approach is used to determine the coefficients and calculate the fitness of the fuzzy functions. An artificial bee colony algorithm is used as the evolution system to update the elements of the grammatical evolution system. The process is repeated until a fuzzy model that best fits the load data is found. After that, the developed fuzzy nonlinear model is applied to forecast holiday peak load. Considering that different holidays possess different load patterns, a separate forecaster model is built for each holiday. Test results on real load data show that an averaged absolute percent error less than 2% can be achieved, which significantly outperforms existing methods involved in the comparison.","PeriodicalId":179619,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Second, a fusion deep residual shrinkage network (FDRSN) is integrated with IBES and support vector machine (SVM) to form the FDRSN-IBS-SVM model for fault identification. Experimental results showed that the D-IBES algorithm achieved a CPU loss rate of 0.54% and an average time consumption of 1.70 seconds in complex scenarios, outperforming the original IBES algorithm.

The CCP-AI-MWS integrates the Collaborative Requirement Planning principle with Artificial Intelligence (AI). Two experiments have been conducted comparing CCP-AI-MWS with current practice. Results show that the newly developed protocol outperforms the current method. CCP-AI-MWS achieves a more equitable distribution of assignments, better accommodates student preferences, and reduces unnecessary workload, thus mitigating student burnout and improving satisfaction. Moreover, the CCP-AI-MWS exhibits adaptability to unexpected situations and minimizes disruptions to the current schedule. The findings present the potential of CCP-AI-MWS to transform scheduling practices in medical education, offering an efficient solution that could benefit medical schools worldwide.","PeriodicalId":179619,"journal":{"name":"Int.
