Such type of services offers security concepts like confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Thus, a highly secured domain is the fundamental need of cloud environments. In addition, security breaches are also growing equally in the cloud because of the sophisticated services of the cloud, which cannot be mitigated efficiently through firewall rules and packet filtering methods. In order to mitigate the malicious attacks and to detect the malicious behavior with high detection accuracy, an effective strategy named Multiverse Fractional Calculus (MFC) based hybrid deep learning approach is proposed. Here, two network classifiers namely Hierarchical Attention Network (HAN) and Random Multimodel Deep Learning (RMDL) are employed to detect the presence of malicious behavior. The network classifier is trained by exploiting proposed MFC, which is an integration of multi-verse optimizer and fractional calculus. The proposed MFC-based hybrid deep learning approach has attained superior results with utmost testing sensitivity, accuracy, and specificity of 0.949, 0.939, and 0.947.","PeriodicalId":43659,"journal":{"name":"Multiagent and Grid Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74733219","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}

Optimisation analysis can be used by modellers to evaluate goal satisfaction, evaluate high-level design alternatives, aid analysts in deciding on high-level requirements and system design, verify the sanity of a model, and improve communication and learning. Goal model analysis may be done in a variety of methods, depending on the nature of the model and the study’s goal. In our work, we use the Goal-Oriented Requirement Language (GRL), which is part of the User Requirements Notation (URN), a new International Telecommunication Union (ITU) recommendation that offers the first standard goal-oriented language. Existing optimisation methods are geared towards maximising objective functions. On the other hand, real-world problems necessitate simultaneous optimisation of both maximising and minimising objective functions. This work explores a GRL model analysis that may accommodate the conflicting goals of various inter-dependent actors in a goal model using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). By evaluating the qualitative or quantitative satisfaction levels of the actors and intentional elements (e.g., objectives and tasks) that make up the model, we construct a multi-objective optimisation method for analysis using the GRL model. The proposed hybrid technique evaluates the contribution of alternatives to the accomplishment of top softgoals. It is then integrated with the top softgoals’ normalised relative priority values. The integration result may be utilised to assess multiple alternatives based on the requirements problem. Although the URN standard does not mandate a specific propagation algorithm, it does outline certain criteria for developing evaluation mechanisms. Case studies were used to assess the viability of the suggested approach in a simulated environment using JAVA Eclipse and IBM Cplex. The findings revealed that the proposed method can be used to analyse goals in goal models with opposing multi-objective functions.","PeriodicalId":43659,"journal":{"name":"Multiagent and Grid Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78017869","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}

Lipoproteins are of tremendous interest in the study of spirochaetes’ pathogenic mechanisms. Since spirochaete lipobox sequences are more malleable than other bacteria, it’s proven difficult to apply current prediction methods to new sequence data. The major goal is to present a Lipoprotein detection model in which correlation features, enhanced log energy entropy, raw features, and semantic similarity features are extracted. These extracted characteristics are put through a hybrid model that combines a Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) and a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). Then, the outputs of GRU and LSTM are averaged to obtain the output.

Building extraction in remote sensing imagery plays an important role in land planning, disaster assessment, digital city construction, etc. Although many scholars have explored many methods, it is difficult to realize high-precision automatic extraction due to the problems in high-resolution remote sensing images, such as the same object with different spectrum, the same spectrum with different object, noise shadow and ground object occlusion. Therefore, this paper proposes an urban building extraction based on information fusion-oriented deep encoder-decoder network. First, the deep encoder-decoder network is adopted to extract the shallow semantic features of building objects. Second, a polynomial kernel is used to describe the middle feature map of deep network to improve the identification ability for fuzzy features. Third, the shallow features and high-order features are fused and sent to the end of the encoder-decoder network to obtain the building segmentation results. Finally, we conduct abundant experiments on public data sets, the recall rate, accuracy rate, and F1-Score are greatly improved. The overall F1-score increases by about 4%. Compared with other state-of-the-art building extraction network structures, the proposed network is better to segment the building target from the background.","PeriodicalId":43659,"journal":{"name":"Multiagent and Grid Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87979781","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}

However, single data centre is restricted in offering the services, as it does not have unlimited resource capacity mostly in the peak demand time. Generally, the count of Virtual Machines (VM) is more in public cloud; still, the security is not ensured. In contrast, the VMs are limited in private cloud with high security. So, the consideration of security levels in task scheduling is remains to be more critical for secured processing. This works intends to afford the optimization strategies for optimal task scheduling with multi-objective constraints in cloud environment. Accordingly, the proposed optimal task allocation framework considers the objectives such as execution time, risk probability, and task priority. For this, a new hybrid optimization algorithm known as Clan Updated Seagull Optimization (CUSO) algorithm is introduced in this work, which is the conceptual blending of Elephant Herding Optimization (EHO) and Seagull Optimization Algorithm (SOA).

For example, task scheduling and resource allocation are significant challenges in cloud management. Adopting proper techniques in such conditions leads to performance improvement.

In the early stage, hard to measure non-functional requirements are critical; understanding the interactions between systems and stakeholders is key to system success. Goal-oriented requirements engineering (GORE) has been successful in dealing with the issues that may arise during the analysis of requirements. While assisting in the analysis of requirements, i* goal model is the only framework available among the many GORE models, emphasising socio-technical domains such as stakeholders/actors/players, goals/objectives, dependencies and design options/alternatives. Most current approaches to goal-model analysis use quantitative methods or formal information that is hard to gather in early RE, or produce analysis results automatically over models. In real-time competitive applications, the goals of various stakeholders are conflicting in complex systems. Also, each of the system goals have various alternative design options for the systems and optimal selection of goal-oriented requirements faces several challenges in requirements-based engineering. Hence, effective decision-making frameworks are necessary to capture the real issues to achieve multi-objective optimisation of interdependent actors. To obtain an optimum strategy for interdependent actors in the i* goal model must balance the opposing goals reciprocally. To achieve this, the model needs to go beyond the analytical decision-making tools such as sensitivity analysis tasks, cost-effective analysis process, game-theoretic concepts and analytical hierarchical process. To address these requirements, this paper discusses the design of novel frameworks for an agent-based goal model analysis in requirements engineering. The objective of this paper is to provide a brief and comprehensive review of the major efforts undertaken along this line of research. In this paper we have prepared literature review of the concepts, terminology, significance and techniques of Goal oriented requirements engineering in the context of non-functional requirements analysis.","PeriodicalId":43659,"journal":{"name":"Multiagent and Grid Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76433090","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}
