The objective of the metaheuristics, together with obtaining quality results in reasonable time, is to be able to control the exploration and exploitation balance within the iterative processes of these methodologies. Large combinatorial problems present ample search space, so Metaheuristics must efficiently explore this space; and exploits looking in the vicinity of good solutions previously…

Android Operating system (OS) has been used much more than all other mobile phone’s OS turning android OS to a major point of attack. Android Application installation serves as a major avenue through which attacks can be perpetrated. Permissions must be first granted by the users seeking to install these third-party applications. Some permissions can…

The technics of maximum power point tracking is widely used in solar photovoltaic energy and electric power system applications. Traditionally, these technics are based on conventional methods like perturb and observe and incremental conductance. In this work, three methods based on particle swarms optimization, incremental conductance and adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system are presented. A…

In this paper, the investigated results on tool wear in milling process of a Gleason spiral bevel gear was investigated. The CVD Ti (C, N)-Al2O3-TiN coated carbide inserts were used in the experimental process. The cutting inserts clamped on the tool head of Gleason tool head system. The workpiece material that was used in this…

The role of creativity techniques in the design of prototypes is of particular interest given its potential for innovation. At same time, despite the efforts of decades in terms of policies and programs of action, humanity has not yet come close to global sustainability. Sustainability design must involve society and creatively employ all available knowledge…

Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) is an integral device for tracking, protection, and regulation of the power network. PMU gives synchronised calculations of actual-time data for voltage phasor, current phasor, and the frequency. Placing PMU in every node to observe the power network is not realistic from an economic standpoint and even for big data management.…

This article proposes a cost-aware autoscaler for microservices-based applications deployed with docker containers. This autoscaler decreases the cost of the application deployment as it reduces computing resources. In elastic treatment, microservice resources are scaled when the used metric as the central processing unit (CPU) exceeds the threshold. In case of threshold exceeding, an autoscaler adds…

The results investigated in this work are toward the optimization of the photonic crystal structures in 1D and 2D scale. One-dimensional distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) have demonstrated substantial potential in various optoelectronic applications, due to the observed tunable optical band-gap. Herein, the use of DBRs in light trapping solar cells was simulated and validated, representing…

Portuguese organizations that have invoicing software, certified by the Tax and Customs Authority, need to comply with technical requirements that involve business continuity and disaster recovery. The recent tax legislative changes created conditions for the dematerialization of documents, allowing waiving invoice printing, encouraging the adoption of an electronic invoicing and document archiving system. The pandemic…

In many countries, irrigation water is one of the major contributors to water scarcity.
