The port state control mechanism enables these authorities to physically verify suspect vessels (e.g., involved in smuggling or piracy events), but choosing the most relevant vessels to be inspected represents a challenging task. This decision can be enhanced by AI-powered systems that analyse large amounts of data, identify patterns and report all observed discrepancies. This paper presents a statistical analysis on the temporal durations of four types of naval statuses: sailing, docked in port, waiting at anchor and not transmitting AIS data. These durations were extracted from the historical activity of different classes of vessels that passed the Black Sea region (Romanian Exclusive Economic Zone) in 2022. Probability density functions were built for these vessels and all statuses' durations were fitted into known parametric distributions. Finally, the paper shows the results of multiple outlier detection algorithms that searched for anomalous data in a multivariate manner.","PeriodicalId":391483,"journal":{"name":"2023 15th International Conference on Electronics, Computers and Artificial Intelligence (ECAI)","volume":"35 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":"123533493","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 VPP sets prices in the EM and RMs and evaluates its offerings one day in advance to heighten its profit. It consists of an electric vehicle fleet, a wind farm, traditional generators, fixed energy storage, and flexible loads. A bi-level model is used to formulate the PM VPP's energy management challenge. The second level problem's objective is to clear the markets while taking the participants' social welfare in to consideration, whereas the first level problem's objective is to heighten the expected profit of the VPP. The bi-level model is converted to a single-level model by replacing the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions. The results of this study demonstrate that VPP may significantly boost its profit by setting market prices. The consideration of electric vehicles (EVs) in VPP also increases the profit of the VPP and improves energy management.","PeriodicalId":391483,"journal":{"name":"2023 15th International Conference on Electronics, Computers and Artificial Intelligence (ECAI)","volume":"2017 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":"127574147","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}

This novel approach is an assessment and possibilities for path planning and scheduling of the multi-AGVs to complete the given tasks in a minimal travel distance with optimal operation time. Six different metaheuristic algorithms such as PSO, MELGWO, GTO, SFS, MPA and chaotic-improved MPA are compared for the AGVs path optimization capability. In order to test the robustness of the proposed approaches, four different scenarios are presented which include a general obstacle avoidance and three tasks in simple maps that treated as an intelligent warehouse environment. In each scenario, the obstacles are placed in such a way to increase the overall path complexity for an AGV to reach the target destination. The exploration and exploitation phases in the MPA algorithm are enhanced simultaneously by replacing the conventional Gaussian random with chaotic operators to ensure its effectiveness in AGVs path planning optimization. The chaotic MPA algorithm outperforms other algorithms based on the statistical analysis results with overall improvement of 11.0171% in comparison to unoptimized probabilistic roadmap method (PRM) planner. In conclusion, the chaotic MPA algorithm can be efficiently optimized the AGVs path planning in all aforementioned environments.","PeriodicalId":391483,"journal":{"name":"2023 15th International Conference on Electronics, Computers and Artificial Intelligence (ECAI)","volume":"29 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":"121463071","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}

A possible solution to this problem is a mobile phone jammer system with the purpose to effectively disrupt the mobile service between the user equipment and the base station. The proposed solution consists of a mobile phone emission detector that identifies the increase in power level in one of the monitored Long Term Evolution (LTE) uplink bands which indicates data traffic between the mobile phone and the base station and triggers the entry into operation of the jamming device creating a denial-of-service attack in the LTE downlink band corresponding to the detected uplink emission. In order to ensure minimum power consumption, while maintaining full efficiency of the jamming system, after an adjustable period of time, the emission operation is stopped and the system goes back into detection mode. The system can be build using Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology and GNU Radio software to program and control the SDR devices.","PeriodicalId":391483,"journal":{"name":"2023 15th International Conference on Electronics, Computers and Artificial Intelligence (ECAI)","volume":"18 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":"115367193","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}
