Thus, there is a need to forecast energy to improve and increase productivity. The main sources of energy in agriculture are electricity, coal, and diesel. Among them, electricity plays an important role in land irrigation. Power forecasting is also essential for demand response management. Thus, any process that dissolves future consumption is favorable. This article presents a time series-based technique for forecasting medium-term load in agriculture. The aim is to find the peak periods of power consumption by months and seasons using statistical and machine learning-based techniques. The result shows that SARIMA has lower RMSE and exponential smoothing has lower RMSPE error than random forest and LSTM, which makes the statistical approach more efficient than intelligent approach for historical datasets. The season-wise peak demand occurs during the Rabi season. Finally, five-year ahead load in the agriculture sector was determined using the best models.","PeriodicalId":396598,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Furthermore, the authors aim at studying the performance of a proposed multi-objective method in solving this NP-hard problem. Here, a multi-objective method (MOBAFS) is presented for feature selection in SPLs. The MOBAFS is a an optimization algorithm, which is inspired by the foraging behavior of honeybees. This technique is evaluated on five large-scale real-world software product lines in the range of 1,244 to 6,888 features. The proposed method is compared with the SATIBEA.

This paper proposes a novel approach to digital PPMI measures and its combination with spirals drawings to increase the accuracy rate of a neural network to the maximum possible. The results show a well performing CNN model with an accuracy of 1(100%). Thus, the end-users of the proposed approach could be more confident when evaluating the progression of PD.

Medical healthcare providers rely on telemedicine to monitor their patients, particularly those with chronic conditions. However, telemedicine faces many implementation-related risks, including data breaches, access restrictions within the medical community, inaccurate diagnosis, fraud, etc. The authors propose a transparent, tamper-proof, distributed, decentralized smart healthcare system (DSHS) that uses blockchain-based smart contracts. The authors use an immutable modified Merkel tree structure to hold the transaction for viewing contracts on a public blockchain, updating patient health records (PHR), and exchanging PHR to all entities. It is verified by a performance evaluation based on the Ethereum platform. The simulation results show that the proposed system outperforms existing approaches by enhancing transparency, boosting efficiency, and reducing average latency in the system. The proposed system improves the functionality of the SHS environment.","PeriodicalId":396598,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Softw.

The placement of energy storage systems (ESSs) could be a substantial opportunity to enhance the presentation of radial distribution system (RDS). The major part of DG units in RDS deals with the detection of ideal placement and size of the DGs, which efficiently balance the power loss and voltage stability. The ideal location and size of ESSs are examined in standard IEEE-33 and 69 bus systems, which is important to reduce power losses. Nowadays, several algorithms or techniques are modified for the development of hybrid algorithms to improve the quality of DG allocation. In this research, a hybrid shuffled frog leap algorithm (SFLA) with ant lion optimizer (SFLA-ALO) is proposed for the optimal placement and size of the DG and ESS in the RDS to reduce power losses and maintain the stability of voltage. The performance of the proposed SFLA-ALO technique is compared with the implemented BPSO-SFLA technique.","PeriodicalId":396598,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Softw.

For particular architectural elements (for instance, components), the reliability criteria associated with testing-based conventional procedures are unknown. In the traditional reliability estimation, the probabilistic method is applied. The source data problem, which depends on a number of factors that may or may not correspond to the real working conditions of the system, is this technique's major shortcoming. The component-based software reliability estimation is based on a number of parameters, including the individual component reliability, transition probability, failure rate, etc. Fuzzy logic converts fuzzy data into useful information, making it easier to develop creative solutions for vague and uncertain concepts based on various factors that influence reliability. To assess the reliability of component-based systems, the authors provide a fuzzy logic technique, which has the ability to improve the question of uncertainty.","PeriodicalId":396598,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Real time data on current road conditions were collected from twenty-one (21) bolt drivers in Calabar Metropolis traversing various routes from Unical to Watt Market. The system could calculate arrival time in km/h, generate nearest nodes on each route, detect routes with free or congested traffic flow, and then recommend the best route in real time to users for timely arrival.

Currently, deep learning approaches have demonstrated a strong interest in picture recognition, particularly in extracting information about the features of the image. Therefore, a Densenet-121 is employed in this work to extract high-level and deep characteristics from the images. Afterwards, the training images are retrieved from the dataset and compared to the query image using a Bidirectional LSTM (BiLSTM) classifier to obtain the relevant images. The investigations are conducted using a publicly available dataset named Corel, and the f-measure, recall, and precision metrics are used for performance assessment.
