Security has become a problem in the Metaverse because there are so many online transactions and digital assets. In this thesis, a Blockchain-based security system for the Metaverse is proposed. This would be a decentralised way to keep the virtual world safe. Our system uses Blockchain's autonomous structure to make sure that all financial transactions in the Metaverse are safe, anonymous, and true. We suggest a new consensus process that combines Proof of Stake (PoS) and Proof of Authority (PoA) to make networks safer and allow them to grow. We also have a user-focused, decentralised identity management system that keeps their information safe. We also suggest a way to process Metaverse transactions safely that is based on smart contracts. Our method makes sure that transactional proof, recording, and validation are done in a safe and reliable way. We also show a reputation system that benefits people who follow the law and punishes people who break the law. Lastly, we test how well our suggested structure works with simulations and real-world tests. The results show that our way works to reduce possible security risks in the Metaverse and create a safe, scalable environment for online business. Overall, our Blockchain-based Security Framework for Metaverse: A Decentralised Approach is a good way to keep the security and privacy of digital activities in Metaverse.","PeriodicalId":391483,"journal":{"name":"2023 15th International Conference on Electronics, Computers and Artificial Intelligence (ECAI)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134329944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The formulated NLP consists of both convex and non-convex constraints, for this reason, we proposed to apply the sequential convex programming technique (SCP) for solving the NLP. The advantage of the SCP method lies in the fact that instead of solving the non-convex NLP, we solve sequential convex NLPs and, in this case, it requires less number of iterates for solution convergence than solving the problem directly by using standard NLP solvers.

They are found in various fields and are crucial to efficient power management. Due to the nonlinear characteristics of DC-DC converters, the output voltage fluctuates periodically, causing the device to be sensitive to even little changes when the circuit parameters are varied. Consequently, the nonlinear structure and rapid dynamics of these converters add to the complexity of their control process. This paper presents a modified method for controlling the conventional DC-DC buck converter by cascading a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller with a One plus Proportional-Integrator (PI) controller. The optimal implementation of the controller parameters is achieved by utilizing the slime mould optimization algorithm (SMA). This mechanism regulates the output voltage in response to changes in the input voltage and output load. With the ISTSE index serving as the objective function, the suggested controller coefficients aim to obtain the lowest possible value for the time- domain performance indexes of the closed-loop system. Then the effectiveness of the proposed PID(1+PI) controller has been shown via comparisons to the widely used PID controller. According to the simulation findings, the SMA-based PID(l+PI) controller outperforms the PID controller in settling and rise time reduction over various operating conditions.","PeriodicalId":391483,"journal":{"name":"2023 15th International Conference on Electronics, Computers and Artificial Intelligence (ECAI)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133735234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address these challenges, this research paper focuses on the application of machine learning techniques for the analysis of Mars weather data. The objective is to develop models that can effectively extract patterns, uncover hidden relationships, and enable accurate predictions in the Martian weather system. The research begins with a comprehensive review of the available Mars weather data. The dataset, consisting of historical records, serves as the foundation for training and evaluating machine learning models. The analysis of the Mars weather dataset reveals the planet's icy and harsh climate, with average maximum temperatures of around -21°C and average minimum temperatures of -80°C. The temperature variations show that the minimum temperature fluctuates within a narrower range of 20-30°C over the course of Mars sols from 0 to 2000, while the maximum temperature experiences larger variations of about 40-50°C. During this time, the atmospheric pressure on Mars fluctuates between 720 Pa and 950 Pa. In addition, using the elbow method revealed that 3 clusters were the ideal number for identifying distinct patterns in the weather data. The linear regression model also attained an accuracy of 85%, demonstrating its efficacy in forecasting weather patterns on Mars.","PeriodicalId":391483,"journal":{"name":"2023 15th International Conference on Electronics, Computers and Artificial Intelligence (ECAI)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115929939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
