The FRBF network estimates unknown disturbances with 43% parameter efficiency compared to standard RBF networks. The DRL-FSMC offers more robustness, less chattering and automatically tunes control gains online using a Soft Actor-Critic (SAC) algorithm, which enables robust trajectory tracking under parametric uncertainty and external disturbances.

The proposed controller exhibits better convergence rate, better tracking, and greater resistance to disturbances and modeling errors compared to the traditional PID and classical SMC approaches.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to employ ML within integrated project scheduling and material ordering decisions for predicting both activity duration and activity execution cost.

The Augmented Epsilon Constraint method is employed to generate Pareto-optimal solutions.

They account for 17% of infectious diseases and cause over 700,000 deaths each year. Current surveillance systems struggle with insufficient detail and slow response times, making it hard to predict outbreaks effectively. This project creates an AI-powered framework for predicting dengue outbreaks at a local level by combining epidemiological, meteorological, geospatial, and demographic data into a single predictive tool. The proposed framework integrates data management, disease forecasting, surveillance visualization, and AI-assisted decision support within a unified operational architecture. The data integration method aligns time-series cases from Punjab with multimodal data from Puerto Rico, such as NDVI and precipitation, along with diagnostic features. This setup allows for validation across different regions. The machine learning engine follows a three-phase approach. In Phase 1, it implements XGBoost, achieving a test R² score of 0.970 on the temporally separated Punjab forecasting dataset. In Phase 2, it develops an ensemble approach that combines XGBoost, LightGBM, and Random Forest, achieving an R² of 0.9779. Phase 3 explores LSTM-based forecasting architectures, while Transformer-based approaches are considered as potential extensions for future enhancement. An exploratory component of the framework is the integration of a Lang Chain-powered Large Language Model to provide contextual decision-support recommendations and improve interpretability of forecasting outputs. This module was functionally demonstrated and qualitatively evaluated rather than quantitatively validated. A web-based surveillance dashboard was implemented for visualization of predictions, environmental indicators, and geographic risk patterns. Validation shows strong performance, with the Phase 2 ensemble achieving the R² of 0.9779. Under the evaluated datasets and temporal validation strategy, the proposed ensemble demonstrated higher R² than several studies reported in the reviewed literature, including studies reporting R² values around 0.84 and Random Forest models reporting approximately 89% accuracy. The proposed framework has the potential to support district-level outbreak monitoring and public health decision-making. The system's design allows for future adjustments to address multiple vector-borne diseases by using cross-regional applicability.

This paper addresses the leader–follower consensus problem for nonlinear multi-agent systems (MASs) subject to stochastic denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. A directed communication topology is examined, in which the interconnection graph alternates among a finite collection of configurations because of DoS attacks. Consensus is ensured under the mild condition that the union of these switching topologies contains a directed spanning tree. Instead of assuming exact knowledge of the switching probabilities, only lower and upper bounds are applied to consider a probability-bounded methodology for stochastic DoS attacks. For agents with locally Lipschitz nonlinear dynamics on a prescribed domain, sufficient conditions ensuring exponential consensus are derived and an explicit region of exponential convergence is characterized. A dynamic nonlinear feedback protocol is developed to enhance performance against DoS-induced switching, and a decoupling-based reformulation is provided for computationally tractable convex synthesis conditions to determine the controller gains. In contrast with the existing methods, the proposed approach deals with nonlinear MASs, considers stochastic DoS attacks with only probability bounds (rather than exact switching probabilities), incorporates locally Lipschitz dynamics (rather than global Lipschitz approach), employs nonlinear dynamic controller (rather than linear static control) and guarantees exponential leader–follower consensus.
