Due to the widespread usage of WSN in real-time applications, network lifetime is the serious concern and numerous research solutions are presented in the literature for handling this issue. Several techniques are employed to handle energy consumption and the most promising techniques are clustering and routing other than data compression. Hence, this paper presents a clustering and routing-based solution for energy efficient WSN with trust notion as its base. The nodes are clustered with the help of Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST), while the best route is selected by employing Lion Optimization Algorithm (LOA). The work efficiency of the proposed work is proven with reasonable outcomes with respect to different performance measures. This work proves an average packet delivery rate of 94.24%, average latency of 13.43 s and 191 alive nodes at the end of 500th second better network lifetime when compared to the existing works.","PeriodicalId":55412,"journal":{"name":"Automatika","volume":"64 1","pages":"634 - 641"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45839923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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 investigation proposes a control framework to produce biodiesel in a reactive distillation column via a transesterification process. To extract quality product, the temperature profile must be maintained along the column as per the requirements. However, constant interactions among the products inside the column disturb the temperature profile and consequently the product quality. Therefore, this investigation treats the process as a single input and single output system, where in the process interactions are modelled as disturbances. A model predictive controller (MPC) is designed for the proposed system to ensure product quality. The MPC parameters must be selected appropriately to ensure optimal performance. In this regard, to tune the MPC parameters optimally, we use two evolutionary algorithms namely, the real coded genetic algorithm (RGA) and the bio-geography based optimization algorithm (BBO). The results indicate the proposed control strategy provides offset free set point tracking when compared to the multivariable control strategy employed using the MPC algorithm. Among the two evolutionary controllers used for tuning the MPC parameters, the RGA MPC controller provides a satisfactory performance.","PeriodicalId":55412,"journal":{"name":"Automatika","volume":"64 1","pages":"613 - 621"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49576178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It assists in reducing the time, searching and rescuing operation efforts of the military control room. This paper implements a system for health-condition monitoring that sends soldiers’ health parameters, such as the electrocardiogram (ECG), blood oxygen level, pulse rate, and temperature, to the control room via a Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET). Body parameters are sensed utilizing various body sensors fixed to the bodies of soldiers. The body parameters are broadcasted to the control room via MANET devices at the path. To preserve the health parameters data of soldiers from enemies while data transmission, this paper also proposes a cryptographic ensemble approach.

Various research is going on to prevent this disease. Obstructive CAD occurs when one or more of the coronary arteries which supply blood to myocardium are narrowed owing to plaque build-up on the arteries’ inner walls, causing stenosis. The fundamental task required for the interpretation of coronary angiography is identification and quantification of severity of stenosis within the coronary circulation. Medical experts use X-ray coronary angiography to identify blood vessel/artery stenosis. Due to the artefact, the image has less clarity and it will be challenging for the medical expert to find the stenosis in the coronary artery. The solution to the problem a computational framework is proposed to segment the artery and spot the location of stenosis in the artery. Here the author presented an automatic method to detect stenosis from the X-ray angiogram image. A unified Computational method of Jerman, Level-set, fine-tuning the artery structure, is developed to extract the segmented artery features and detect the artery’s stenosis.

The paper presents a new 5-level active neutral point clamped DC–AC converter that can change voltage step-up in a single-stage inversion. In the suggested design, a common ground not only reduces the CMV-HF but also improves DC link voltage use. Compared with the traditional two-stage 5-level APC DC–AC converter, the proposed design has lower voltage stresses and greater uniformity.

An important requirement for accurate face image analysis is a high-quality input face image. In different real-life scenarios, however, the face is often not properly illuminated, which makes the face analysis very difficult or impossible to accomplish. Although a better performance is obtained by changing the spectrum from visible to near-infrared, it is still not enough for extreme illumination conditions. To obtain a high-quality near-infrared face image, a fast automatic brightness control method using approximate face region detection is proposed, which properly adjusts the brightness of the face part of the image. A novel algorithm for approximate face region detection based on spatio-temporal sampled skin detection is proposed together with the split-range feedback controller and the face absence handle. The proposed method is much faster than state-of-the-art solutions and accurate in approximate face region detection. The complete execution time is lower than 10 milliseconds which makes it suitable for hard real-time embedded system implementation and usage, while the reference brightness value is achieved within 10–15 frames, making it robust to extreme illumination conditions in a scene.","PeriodicalId":55412,"journal":{"name":"Automatika","volume":"64 1","pages":"593 - 605"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41814606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Virtual machine (VM) consolidation is nondeterministic polynomial time (NP) hard issue, and numerous heuristic techniques have been suggested to solve it. In this work, the suggested VM consolidation technique takes into account both current and future uniform distribution elephant herding optimization (UDEHO) based VM consolidation approaches for resource utilization via host overload detection (utilization prediction based potential overload detection (UP-POD)) and host underload detection (UP-PUD). A UDEHO method efficiently predicts resource use in the future. Depending on the power utilization and the number of migrations, a power-saving value is advised for identifying under-loaded hosts. Furthermore, the CloudSim toolkit is used to construct and test these techniques using the same experimental parameters. Lastly, the findings demonstrate that the suggested methodologies considerably decrease the number of VM migrations by about 0.073%, the energy usage of about 11%, and SLA violations by 6.15% while retaining QoS guarantees when compared to conventional techniques.","PeriodicalId":55412,"journal":{"name":"Automatika","volume":"64 1","pages":"529 - 539"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47587077","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
