One of the critical aspects of serverless computing is offloading approaches, which refers to transferring computing tasks or data to other locations to reduce the processing load of local devices. Considering the use of different approaches and strategies in the offloading process in serverless computing, not choosing the right approach can cause the unloading process to face challenges such as network delay, security problems, and complexity of resource management. Therefore, a detailed understanding of the loading approaches used in serverless computing can significantly reduce the challenges in this process. This paper provides a comprehensive and systematic review of various commonly used offloading approaches in serverless computing in the form of a taxonomy. The applied approaches are based on machine learning (ML), frameworks, in-network computing (INC), and heuristics. This classification is done to identify the strengths and weaknesses of each of these approaches to help developers improve the productivity and efficiency of their systems by choosing the best offloading strategies. Another goal of this article is to identify and analyze open challenges and issues related to the offloading process in serverless computing to propose effective solutions to these challenges and provide future research directions.

In addition to reducing line losses by 2% compared to the AOA method and 4% compared to the other two metaheuristic optimization methods, the suggested optimization approach known as BRDAOA requires less computing time than the other three methods.

Utilizing OpenCL for FPGA-based data acquisition offers several advantages that contribute to system efficiency, particularly in hardware interfaces between FPGA and external devices used in IoT applications.

Social media platforms provide researchers with an entirely novel viewpoint on identifying individuals who are depressed. Previous research on automatic learning models for depression detection revealed low detection accuracy and an absence of optimizing techniques that could enhance detection accuracy. Furthermore, there is no such dataset, and very little study has been done on the multimodal pure Hindi and code-mixed Hinglish language domains. In light of this, we developed a Hindi dataset and suggested reliable methods for depression detection based on multimodal data, i.e., text and images, using the Hindi and Hinglish languages. This study aims to accomplish three things: first, it will evaluate text data using an effective Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) approach and compare it with other transfer learning variants; second, it will analyze image data by suggesting a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) optimized with a nature-inspired algorithm, namely Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), or CPSO; and third, it will classify the multimodal data into depressive and non-depressive posts by suggesting a hybrid of the best-performing models on text and images, namely BERT-CPSO (BTCPSO). The results produced with the BERT model showed the best accuracy of 95% for text data, in contrast to RoBERTa, DistilBERT, and XLNet. Further, CPSO outperforms other Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) algorithms for image data with an accuracy of 95%. Additionally, comparing the proposed CPSO with a basic CNN revealed that integrating the PSO technique with CNN increased the model's accuracy in detecting depressed posts by 5%. In conclusion, hybrid BERT-CPSO outperforms other BERT combinations with ML and DL algorithms for multimodal data, achieving 97%, 95%, 98%, and 96%, respectively, in accuracy, recall, precision, and F1-scores. As a result, the findings of comparing the suggested technique with the earlier models show the effectiveness of the approach that has been provided and can help medical professionals diagnose depression with precision.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50630,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Electrical Engineering","volume":"120 ","pages":"Article 109786"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142552125","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}

In such an architecture, each hub provided with various sources of energy, such as combined heat and power (CHP), hot water tanks, renewable sources, electric chillers, and absorption chillers, will integrate all these sources for more adaptability and efficiency to the system. Moreover, the integration of energy storage systems (ESSs) is considered to enhance the flexibility of the energy hub concerning power, heating, and cooling. Recognizing the complexity associated with incorporating multiple constraints, the improved grasshopper optimization algorithm (IGOA) is introduced to effectively address this challenge. By leveraging this algorithm, the study aims to overcome the intricacies involved in considering various constraints and achieve an optimal outcome. The IGOA improves the efficiency and effectiveness of local and national searches in solving complex energy hub optimization problems. Reducing the likelihood of getting stuck in suboptimal solutions, enhances the algorithm's ability to find optimal solutions considering multiple constraints, thereby enhancing the overall performance and cost-effectiveness of EHSs. The issue is defined as a planning challenge, and by collaborative efforts, the expenses associated with the network energy hubs are reduced, illustrating the efficacy of this concept. The findings indicate the influence of the suggested cooperative technique, with operating cost reductions of 19.09 %, 13.27 %, and 8.75 % for Hub 1, Hub 2, and Hub 3, respectively.

However, microgrids structure are difficult to control, particularly in islanded mode where no main power source exists if the main grid fails. Fast responses from discrete generation sources using power electronics can undermine the grid during faults or normal operations without proper regulations. The double-fed induction generator (DFIG) has become the preferred wind turbine generator owing to its low cost and flexibility to varying wind speeds. This paper presents a probabilistic scheduling for day-ahead microgrid programming that includes EV parking lots and dispersed generation resources. The microgrid works in both normal and islanded modes depending on main grid conditions. The uncertainty in EV parking lot usage is modeled hourly using the Z-number method, while wind and solar generation, market prices, and loads are modeled using the Monte Carlo method. Scenario-based incidents in the upstream grid that lead to microgrid islanding are considered, focusing on the time and duration of impact. The optimization model accounts for uncertainty, EV charging/discharging, and operational costs under normal and fault conditions. The fault ride-through (FRT) method for maintaining DFIG stability in islanded microgrids are proposed. In this technique stabilizes terminal voltage during faults by employing a resistor in series with the DFIG stator, enhancing voltage stability and FRT capability. Without these methods, the DFIG may lose stability after clearing transient errors, risking generator loss and threatening microgrid stability, particularly in islanded mode.

Currently, the lot-streaming production mode is increasingly favoured by scholars and enterprise managers due to its remarkable performance in reducing machines’ idle time and improving production efficiency. This paper investigates an energy-efficient scheduling issue for three-stage remanufacturing systems under the lot-streaming environment where each large-sized lot is split into its constituent small-sized sublots whose sizes may be inequal but remain consistent among various operations. Foremost, a dual-objective optimization mathematical model aiming at concurrently minimizing the makespan and total energy consumption is built. Then, since its NP-hard property, an improved fruit fly optimization (IFFO) algorithm is accordingly introduced. IFFO adopts a problem-specific three-layer encoding mechanism that contains three key pieces of scheduling information, i.e., lot sequence, machine assignment, and lot size splitting. Besides, based on the lot-streaming property, two distinct decoding strategies, i.e., sublot preemption and lot preemption are also correspondingly integrated. In addition, several effective optimization techniques, such as the simulated annealing-based replacement mechanism and Sigma method, are also employed to seek high-quality Pareto solutions. A real case and several designed random small/large-sized instances are tested on IFFO and its peers under three performance indicators.
