Business processes within the company continue to grow and cause them to run more complex. The large scale and complexity of business processes pose a challenge in improving the quality of process model because the effectiveness of time and the efficiency of existing resources are the biggest challenges. In the context of optimizing business processes with a process mining approach, most current process models are optimized with a trace clustering approach to explore the model and to perform analysis on the resulting process model. Meanwhile, in the event log data, not only the activities but also the other resources, such as records of employee or staff working time, process service time, and processing costs, are recorded. This article proposes a mechanism alternative to optimize business processes by exploring the resources that occur in the process. The mechanism is carried out in three stages. The first stage is optimizing the job shop scheduling method from the generated event log. Scheduling the time becomes a problem in the job shop. Utilizing the right time can increase the effectiveness of performance in order to reduce costs. Scheduling can be defined as the allocation of multiple jobs in a series of machines, in which each machine only does one job at a time. In general, scheduling becomes a problem when sequencing the operations and allocating them into specific time slots without prolonging the technical and capacity constraints. The second stage is generating the resource value that is recorded in the event log from the results of analysis of the previous stage, namely, job shop scheduling. The resource values are multivariate and then clustered to determine homogeneous clusters. The last stage is optimizing the nonlinear multipolynomials in the homogeneous cluster formed by using the Hessian solution. The results obtained are analyzed to get recommendations on business processes that are appropriate for the company’s needs. The impact of long waiting times will increase service costs, but by improving workload, costs can be reduced. The process model and the value of service costs resulting from the mechanism in the research can be a reference for process owners in evaluating and improving ongoing processes.","PeriodicalId":8218,"journal":{"name":"Appl.

Attackers are developing malicious malware that undermines the ability of malware detecting systems and circumvents such systems by obfuscating their disposition. Several machine learning and deep learning techniques have been proposed to retaliate to such problems; nevertheless, they demand high computational power and are not energy efficient. Hence, this article presents an approach to distinguish between benign and malicious malware, which is robust, cost-efficient, and energy-saving by characterizing CNN-based architectures such as the traditional CNN, AlexNet, ResNet, and LeNet-5 and using transfer learning to determine the most efficient framework. The OAT (of-ahead time) files created during the installation of an application on Android are examined and transformed into images to train the datasets. The Hilbert space-filling curve is then used to transfer instructions into pixel locations of the 2-D image. To determine the most ideal model, we have performed several experiments on Android applications containing several benign and malicious samples. We used distinct datasets to test the performance of the models against distinct study questions. We have compared the performance of the aforementioned CNN-based architectures and found that the transfer learning model was the most efficacious and computationally inexpensive one. The proposed framework when used with a transfer learning approach provides better results in comparison to other state-of-the-art techniques.","PeriodicalId":8218,"journal":{"name":"Appl. Comput.

Real-world utilization of machine learning (ML) typically involves (pre-)training models on collected, historical data and then applying them to unseen data points. However, in real-world applications, time series data streams are usually non-stationary and trained ML models usually, over time, face the problem of data or concept drift. To address this issue, models must be periodically retrained or redesigned, which takes significant human and computational resources. Additionally, historical data may not even exist to re-train or re-design model with. As a result, it is highly desirable that models are designed and trained in an online fashion. This work presents the Online NeuroEvolution-based Neural Architecture Search (ONE-NAS) algorithm, which is a novel neural architecture search method capable of automatically designing and dynamically training recurrent neural networks (RNNs) for online forecasting tasks. Without any pre-training, ONE-NAS utilizes populations of RNNs that are continuously updated with new network structures and weights in response to new multivariate input data. ONE-NAS is tested on real-world, large-scale multivariate wind turbine data as well as the univariate Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) dataset. Results demonstrate that ONE-NAS outperforms traditional statistical time series forecasting methods, including online linear regression, fixed long short-term memory (LSTM) and gated recurrent unit (GRU) models trained online, as well as state-of-the-art, online ARIMA strategies.","PeriodicalId":8218,"journal":{"name":"Appl.

Countries where such disasters occur make every effort to monitor such disasters and aid as quickly as possible. However, in some cases, a rescue cannot be sent because no information is available to initiate any type of rescue operation. This is usually because common disaster management systems (DMS) use on board or ground networks to route information from the disaster scene to rescue headquarters (HQ), which in most cases cannot provide the information efficiently. One effective approach is to use satellites in conjunction with existing air-to-ground systems. This study provides a comprehensive and systematic overview of the complexities of the space-air-ground integrated network (SAGIN) in disaster management applications, including different architectures and protocols. The main rationale behind this review is to provide an extensive analysis of existing disaster management systems that are making use of SAGIN. This paper also presents the taxonomy for disaster management systems and challenges. Moreover, this research work also highlights open research issues and challenges for any type of disaster scenario. Our results indicate that several challenges are faced by disaster management systems such as hardware-based challenges, network-based characteristics and communication protocols related challenges, availability and accuracy of imagery data, and security and privacy issues.","PeriodicalId":8218,"journal":{"name":"Appl.

The common symptoms of PCOS include increased acne, irregular period, increase in body hair, and overweight. Early diagnosis of PCOS is essential to manage the symptoms and reduce the associated health risks. Nonetheless, the diagnosis is based on Rotterdam criteria, including a high level of androgen hormones, ovulation failure, and polycystic ovaries on the ultrasound image (PCOM). At present, doctors and radiologists manually perform PCOM detection using ovary ultrasound by counting the number of follicles and determining their volume in the ovaries, which is one of the challenging PCOS diagnostic criteria. Moreover, such physicians require more tests and checks for biochemical/clinical signs in addition to the patient’s symptoms in order to decide the PCOS diagnosis. Furthermore, clinicians do not utilize a single diagnostic test or specific method to examine patients. This paper introduces the data set that includes the ultrasound image of the ovary with clinical data related to the patient that has been classified as PCOS and non-PCOS. Next, we proposed a deep learning model that can diagnose the PCOM based on the ultrasound image, which achieved 84.81% accuracy using the Inception model. Then, we proposed a fusion model that includes the ultrasound image with clinical data to diagnose the patient if they have PCOS or not. The best model that has been developed achieved 82.46% accuracy by extracting the image features using MobileNet architecture and combine with clinical features.","PeriodicalId":8218,"journal":{"name":"Appl.

However, CNNs mostly rely on Gaussian noise, and there is a conspicuous lack of exploiting CNNs for salt-and-pepper (SAP) noise reduction. In this paper, we proposed a deep CNN model, namely SeConvNet, to suppress SAP noise in gray-scale and color images. To meet this objective, we introduce a new selective convolutional (SeConv) block. SeConvNet is compared to state-of-the-art SAP denoising methods using extensive experiments on various common datasets. The results illustrate that the proposed SeConvNet model effectively restores images corrupted by SAP noise and surpasses all its counterparts at both quantitative criteria and visual effects, especially at high and very high noise densities.","PeriodicalId":8218,"journal":{"name":"Appl.
