However, the existing fog architecture introduces unique security challenges due to the large number of distributed fog nodes, often deployed in diverse and resource-constrained environments. Further, the proximity of fog computing nodes to end-users and the open, distributed nature of the architecture make fog environments particularly vulnerable to unauthorized access and various types of cyberattacks. Therefore, in order to address these challenges, the study presented a detailed systematic review that aims to analyze existing security technologies in fog computing environments, identify current security gaps, and propose future research directions. The comprehensive literature review uses quality databases, focusing on articles published within the last four years, i.e. from 2020 to 2024. Further, the review followed a systematic methodology with clear inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure relevance and quality with respect to security in fog computing. Consequently, key research questions are also formulated and answered for addressing various security concerns, such as architectural security, IoT integration vulnerabilities, and dynamic security management. Finally, the detailed review summarizes the key findings through MTGIR analysis to give valuable insights on the existing security framework of fog computing systems. The result analysis further revealed that 16% of the research is focusing on blockchain and elliptic curve cryptography, alongside the utilization of artificial intelligence and machine learning, which is around 13.2%, specifically for dynamic threat detection. Furthermore, there are few technologies which require attention are federated learning, secure key management, and secure communication mechanisms, as these technologies are less considered in literature, i.e. around 3% only. Finally, the analysis underscored the necessity for real-time security monitoring and adaptive threat response to manage the dynamic nature of fog computing environments effectively.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48633,"journal":{"name":"Computer Science Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":13.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142526919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The field of object detection has been transformed by deep learning. Deep learning-based methods have shown to be remarkably effective at identifying and localizing objects in images and video streams when it comes to object detection. Deep learning algorithms can precisely locate and localize objects inside photos and videos because of their capacity to learn complex and nonlinear patterns in data. Deep learning models may also be trained on big datasets with minimal human intervention, allowing them to rapidly improve their performance. This makes deep learning models useful for applications such as self-driving cars, recognizing faces, and healthcare diagnosis. The purpose of this study was to gain an in-depth understanding of the primary state of development for the object detection pipeline in complex environments. Initially, this study describes the benchmark datasets and analyzes the typical detection model, and then, the paper systematic approach covers both one-stage and two-stage detectors, giving a thorough overview of object detection techniques in complex environments. We also discuss the new and traditional applications of object detection. In the end, the study reviews how well various topologies perform over a range of parameters. The study has covered a total of 119 articles, of which 27% are related to one-stage detectors, 26% to two-stage detectors, 24% to supporting data related to deep learning, 14% to survey articles, 8% to the datasets covered in the study, and the remaining 1% to the book chapters.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48633,"journal":{"name":"Computer Science Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":13.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142526922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This survey evaluates recent cluster-based routing protocols released from 2021 to 2024, focusing on the AI-driven approaches in WSNs including fuzzy heuristics, metaheuristics, and machine learning models, along with their combinations. Each approach is evaluated through a deep analysis of solution-based and network configuration-based factors. Solution-based parameters include performance mode, selection strategies, optimization objectives, modeling techniques, and key factors affecting the overall effectiveness of each approach. Additionally, network configuration analysis deals with the type of topology, communication architecture, network scale, performance metrics, and simulators used. This comprehensive analysis unveils valuable insights into the capabilities and limitations of each method. By identifying shortcomings and highlighting areas for improvement, this survey aims to guide future research towards the development of more efficient cluster-based routing techniques for WSNs.

Smart Homes, Healthcare, and Agriculture are some of their amazing use cases. These IoT applications often employ Machine Learning (ML) techniques to strengthen their functionality. ML can be used to analyze sensor data for various, including optimizing energy usage in smart homes, predicting maintenance needs in industrial equipment, personalized user experiences in wearable devices, and detecting anomalies for security monitoring. However, implementing centralized ML techniques is not viable because of the high cost of computing power and privacy issues since so much data is stored over a cloud server. To safeguard data privacy, Federated Learning (FL) has become a new paragon for centralized ML methods where FL,an ML variation sends a model to the user devices without the need to give private data to the third-party or central server, it is one of the promising solutions to address data leakage concerns. By saving raw data to the client itself and transferring only model updates or parameters to the central server, FL helps to reduce privacy leakage. However, it is still not attack-resistant. Blockchain offers a solution to protect FL-enabled IoT networks using smart contracts and consensus mechanisms. This manuscript reviews IoT applications and challenges, discusses FL techniques that can be used to train IoT networks while ensuring privacy, and analyzes existing work. To ensure the security and privacy of IoT applications, an integrated Blockchain-powered FL-based framework was introduced and studies existing research were done using these three powerful paradigms.

This paper presents a thorough survey of this discipline, emphasising the implications of human factors, the application of machine learning techniques, and the real-world deployments of these systems. In traditional manual negotiation, various challenges emerge, including limited negotiation skills, power asymmetries, personality disparities, and cultural influences. Automated negotiation systems can offer solutions to these challenges through their round-the-clock availability, the ability to negotiate without emotional bias, efficient information access, and seamless integration of cultural contexts. This comprehensive survey delves into the intricacies of human–computer negotiation, shedding light on the impact of emotional cues, cultural diversity, and the subtleties of language. Furthermore, the study reviews the incorporation of machine learning models that facilitate the adaptation of negotiation strategies. The paper also discusses the application of fuzzy set theory and fuzzy constraint methods within the scope of automated negotiation, providing a valuable addition to the existing literature. Real-world deployment of these systems in domains e.g., e-commerce, conflict resolution, and multi-agent systems is also examined.

As a result, interconnected information systems are growing, which means that autonomous systems are needed to help them adapt, find complex patterns, and make better decisions in areas like cybersecurity, finance, healthcare, authentication, marketing, and supply chain optimization. Even though there have been improvements in self-learning methods for complex pattern recognition in linked information systems, these studies still do not have a complete taxonomy that sorts these methods by how they can be used in different areas. It is hard to fully understand important factors and do the comparisons that are needed to drive the growth and use of autonomous learning in linked systems because of this gap. Because these methods are becoming more important, new study is looking into how they can be used in different areas. Still, recent study shows that we do not fully understand the environment of other uses for independent learning methods, which encourages us to keep looking into it. We come up with a new classification system that puts applications into six groups: finding cybersecurity threats, finding fraud in finance, diagnosing and monitoring healthcare, biometric authentication, personalized marketing, and optimizing the supply chain in systems that are all connected. The latest developments in this area can be seen by carefully looking at basic factors like pros and cons, modeling setting, and datasets.
