This paper overcomes these shortcomings by developing a hybrid model that integrates the Hunger Games Search (HGS) and Marine Predator Algorithm (MPA) for improved clustering and routing in UWSNs. The MPA was chosen due to its stability in selecting the first sensors/cluster heads and creating the clusters, drawing inspiration from the foraging strategies of marine predators, which guides it extensively in the balance of exploration and exploitation. Simulations demonstrate that the proposed method achieves significantly better results than classical methods. In particular, the HGS-MPA framework consumes 26.6 % less energy than GWO-PSO, increasing network lifetime by 22.1 % (FINOD) and 15.8 % (HANOD). The packet delivery ratio is improved by 3.1 % against the following best-performing method, reaching 92.4 %. A statistical test performed with ANOVA showed that these improvements are statistically significant at P < 0.001.

However, for a more realistic approach to problem solving, multiple goals are tackled simultaneously, optimizing a multi-objective problem. In this study, a multi-objective (MO) Flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) device incorporated in an optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) problem that has been developed considering these distinct objectives concurrently to formulate a ‘MO-ORPD-ELD-Emission-FACTS’ problem—the hourly cost of energy lost in transmission (from ORPD), generation cost (from economic load dispatch), the operational cost of FACTS devices such as static VAR compensator (SVC) and thyristor-controlled series capacitor (TCSC), and emissions of fossil fuel pollutants. The implementation technique is the Arithmetic Optimization Algorithm (AOA), and it is being tested on the standard IEEE 30, IEEE 57, and IEEE 118 bus systems. The fuzzy-based mechanism of Pareto optimality has been employed to determine the Best Compromising Solution (BCS) out of the set of Pareto solutions of the multi-objective problem. A specific case of load uncertainty has also been carried out for the larger IEEE 118 bus system with ten different variations of load demands for the same multi-objective function. The aim was to study the significance of the achieved results under the different loading conditions and compare the voltage profiles. The solutions obtained by AOA were observed to be the best and followed an ideal nature of Pareto optimality compared to the others. The incorporation of FACTS has significantly reduced the cost of economic load dispatch (ELD), the cost of energy loss, and fuel emissions, and with a much healthier voltage profile for all three test bus systems. The power loss has been reduced from 3.1129 MW to 2.8469 MW for the IEEE 30 bus system, from 11.366 MW to 10.0656 MW for the IEEE 57 bus system, and from 73.2977 MW to 64.2368 MW for the IEEE 118 bus system as obtained by the AOA.

Therefore, early detection of suspicious activities is of utmost importance to safeguard SCADA systems. Machine learning (ML) algorithms are effective methods for developing intrusion detection systems. However, developing an efficient and reliable detection system for smart grids remains challenging: Most suggested ML-based intrusion detection methods are based on centralized learning, in which data is collected from smart meters and transferred to a central server for training. Transferring sensitive data adds another burden to safeguarding smart grids, since it may result in significant privacy breaches and data leaks in the event of attacking the central server. In contrast to centralized learning, federated learning (FL) offers data privacy protection. FL is an emerging cooperative learning that enables training between smart devices (clients) using local datasets which are kept on the clients’ sides. The resilience of FL-based detection systems in real-world situations, however, has not yet been examined, as clients may encounter various assaults, resulting in their local datasets having more or fewer attacks than others participating in the learning process. Motivated by this concern, we propose a FL-based intrusion detection for SCADA systems where clients have different attacks. We examine the impact of having missing attacks in local datasets on the performance of FL-based classifier. The experimental findings demonstrate a significant performance degradation of the FL-based model. As a remedy, we suggest a novel learning method – hybrid learning – that combines centralized and federated learning.

Traditional centralized telemetry models and cloud-based monitoring platforms often require complex or costly configurations and are not optimized for RESTful microservices. In fact, although the OpenAPI Specification (OAS) has become a key standard for describing microservice APIs, existing telemetry tools do not leverage this information to enhance service analysis and diagnostics. This paper introduces a lightweight and distributed approach to telemetry that uses OAS-based API information, offering an automated, configuration-free system that enables developers and operations teams to perform root cause analysis more efficiently. Moreover, we propose a plugin system to incorporate intelligent behavior into the telemetry system, such as an adaptive proactive alert mechanism when response-time anomalies are detected. By incorporating this extensibility mechanism, the framework paves the way to address issues such as energy consumption and performance, allowing the system to dynamically adjust its monitoring activities to optimize resource usage and minimize the carbon footprint of microservice deployment and execution. This adaptability reduces operational overhead and supports sustainable computing practices. To validate our approach, we present a proof-of-concept in the form of a ready-to-use package for the NodeJS ecosystem, demonstrating that this distributed telemetry model can operate with minimal impact on system performance and resource usage, proving its effectiveness to support more robust and sustainable IT systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48686,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Computing-Informatics & Systems","volume":"46 ","pages":"Article 101100"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143552705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
