Technical energy loss estimation in power distribution systems is essential for improving operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness. However, distribution-level datasets are often failed to cope with the nonlinear behavior and sparse, low-resolution data typical in modern grid environments. This study proposes an interpretable artificial intelligence (AI) framework based on least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression integrated with Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) to estimate and explain technical energy losses at the feeder level. An exploratory multicollinearity assessment using correlation analysis and variance inflation factor (VIF) revealed severe redundancy among operational variables, justifying the adoption of L1-regularized regression. Hyperparameter tuning via LassoCV identified an optimal regularization parameter, resulting in strong predictive performance. Comparative evaluation with nonlinear models, including random forest and gradient boosting, demonstrated that LASSO achieves competitive or superior generalization performance while preserving interpretability. Feature importance analysis and SHAP-based explanations confirmed that operational loading variables particularly infeed energy, load factor, and maximum demand are the dominant drivers of technical losses. SHAP dependence and interaction analyses further revealed context-dependent behavior among correlated predictors, enriching interpretability beyond coefficient-based rankings. The results demonstrate that regularized linear modeling, when combined with explainable AI techniques, provides a robust, transparent, and practically deployable solution for technical loss estimation in distribution networks.

Production scheduling using a hybrid approach based on genetic algorithm and convergent random search

10.11591/ijeecs.v43.i2.pp534-546
Belbachir Djelloul , Kadri Boufeldja
The flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSSP) is a highly complex combinatorial optimization problem widely encountered in modern manufacturing systems. Its complexity arises from the simultaneous determination of operation sequencing and machine assignment, making it significantly more challenging than the classical job shop scheduling problem (JSSP). Recent advances in hybrid metaheuristics and intelligent optimization methods have improved solution quality; however, achieving an effective balance between global exploration and local exploitation remains a critical challenge. In this paper, a novel hybrid metaheuristic approach combining a genetic algorithm (GA) and convergent random search (CRS) is proposed to address the FJSSP. The proposed method exploits the global search capability of GA to explore the solution space, while CRS is employed as an adaptive local refinement mechanism applied to elite individuals. This hybridization strategy enhances convergence speed and avoids premature stagnation. Extensive computational experiments are conducted on well-known benchmark instances, including Brandimarte and Kacem datasets. The results indicate that the proposed GA–CRS approach significantly improves the makespan compared to classical GA and PSO based methods. In addition, the algorithm exhibits faster convergence behavior, reaching high-quality solutions in fewer iterations. Statistical analysis using non-parametric tests confirms the superiority of the proposed method. These findings demonstrate that the proposed hybrid GA–CRS algorithm provides a robust and efficient optimization framework for solving large-scale and complex FJSSP instances, outperforming several state-of the-art approaches.

This paper presents a secure framework for detecting and mitigating slowloris attacks in software defined networks (SDN) using Poisson arrival modeling to generate attack traffic. Slowloris attacks imitate legitimate traffic patterns, making them difficult to identify. The framework includes three modules: a data generation module, a feature selection module based on the blended statistical and information gain (BSIG) approach, and a traffic classification module using machine learning and deep learning algorithms. Poisson arrival modeling captures the stochastic nature of attack traffic by introducing variability in packet inter-arrival times, thereby simulating realistic network conditions. Monte Carlo simulations establish anomaly thresholds, while the BSIG method identifies key features, such as inter-arrival variability and CPU utilization. Support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbors (KNN), and random forest (RF) classifiers achieve high precision in distinguishing legitimate traffic from attack traffic. The integration of Poisson modeling with advanced analytical methods improves detection capability while maintaining scalability for similar stealth attacks. The proposed methodology provides high detection accuracy and adapts to dynamic network environments, enhancing web server defenses against slowloris attacks in real-world scenarios. The framework also reduces false positives, supports efficient resource utilization, and strengthens proactive security management in modern SDN infrastructures under varying conditions.

Iwan Ady Prabowo , Hendro Wijayanto , Teguh Susyanto
Smart tourism management in rural multi-destination settings requires forecasting methods that are accurate enough to support visitor allocation, infrastructure readiness, and ecological protection. This study presents a decomposition-based forecasting framework for Sidowayah Village, Central Java, Indonesia, which integrates three attractions with different demand profiles: Umbul Manten, Siblarak, and Kampung Dolanan. Using monthly visitation data from May 2023 to April 2024, the study compares additive and multiplicative decomposition models within a common workflow of data collection, preprocessing, trend-seasonal decomposition, model evaluation, and sustainability-oriented interpretation. The contribution of the study lies in clarifying destination-specific criteria for selecting additive versus multiplicative models, improving methodological transparency in preprocessing and temporal validation, and translating forecast outputs into practical smart tourism actions aligned with sustainable development goals (SDGs) 11 and 12. The results show that the multiplicative-average all model yields the lowest mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) for Umbul Manten (14.1%) and Siblarak (56.8%), while the additive-centered moving average model is more suitable for Kampung Dolanan based on mean absolute deviation (MAD) (162.6). Although the 12-month dataset limits long-term generalization, the framework provides a reproducible basis for data-informed tourism management in rural destinations.

Accurate land use and land cover (LULC) classification is essential for environmental monitoring, agricultural planning, and sustainable resource management. This study investigates the effectiveness of Sentinel-2 multispectral satellite imagery for LULC classification by comparing the performance of three supervised classification algorithms: maximum likelihood classifier (MLC), minimum distance classifier (MDC), and neural networks (NN). Before classification, Sentinel-2 imagery underwent comprehensive preprocessing, including atmospheric correction, radiometric calibration, and cloud masking using ERDAS software to improve image quality and classification reliability. The Villupuram district of Tamil Nadu, India, was selected as the study area due to its diverse land cover characteristics. Classification performance was evaluated using overall accuracy (OA), producer’s accuracy (PA), user’s accuracy (UA), and the Kappa coefficient. Experimental results demonstrate that the MLC achieved the highest OA of 94.81% with a Kappa coefficient of 0.9308, outperforming MDC (90.65%, 0.8753) and NN (84.38%, 0.7917). These findings confirm that supervised classification of Sentinel-2 multispectral imagery provides reliable and accurate LULC mapping, offering valuable geospatial information to support precision agriculture, environmental monitoring, land resource management, and sustainable regional planning.

Based on measurements of current harmonics that adversely affect power quality in an industrial setting, and to ensure compliance with permissible levels according to IEEE 519, this paper aims to compare the effectiveness of conventional and optimized sizing of damped passive filter components to reduce total harmonic distortion (THD) and improve the power factor (PF). The optimization of passive filter element values relies on a powerful metaheuristic algorithm called teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO). Simulation results show that the THD of current and voltage reach values of 17.34% and 8.61%, respectively, and decrease to very low values after implementation of the damped passive filter in the optimal case using the TLBO algorithm. The results also demonstrated a proportional relationship between the harmonic currents in the load and the overall increase in losses in the transformer. Optimizing the damped passive filter reduced harmonic distortion, improved the PF, and limited energy losses, thus confirming the superior ability of this algorithm to identify a very high efficiency solution.

Memory built-in self-test (MBIST) has become an essential design-for testability technique for ensuring the reliability and quality of embedded memories in modern integrated circuits. The effectiveness of an MBIST implementation is largely determined by its test algorithm, which defines the sequence of memory operations, directly influencing both test complexity and fault coverage. Designing an efficient test algorithm requires balancing low test complexity with comprehensive fault detection. This paper presents a comprehensive review of MBIST test algorithms for static fault detection in static random-access memory (SRAM). The review first summarizes the characteristics of major SRAM static faults and their corresponding detection requirements. It then compares representative test algorithms in terms of test sequence, computational complexity, fault coverage, and design methodology. Furthermore, the evolution of MBIST test algorithm development is discussed, ranging from conventional ad hoc approaches to enhanced algorithms derived from existing March tests. The comparative analysis indicates that an 18N-complexity test algorithm is generally required to achieve complete detection of all unlinked static faults in SRAM, whereas optimized 14N-complexity algorithms provide an effective trade-off between test time and fault coverage. Finally, the review identifies current research challenges, including efficient detection of dynamic and linked memory faults and the development of MBIST algorithms for emerging memory technologies such as magnetic random-access memory (MRAM), highlighting promising directions for future research.

Prioritizing ransomware indicators of compromise using algorithmic scoring for enhanced threat detection

10.11591/ijai.v15.i4.pp3865-3877
Krishna Prasad D. Subramanya , Prasanna Kumar H. Ramakrishna
Ransomware is a very serious cybersecurity threat. Its attack methods are continually evolving, which means that it is not very easy to detect it quickly. A big challenge faced in the ransomware defense is how to prioritize indicators of compromise (IoC) efficiently. This paper introduces a hybrid IoC ranking scheme based on static and dynamic analysis of the behavior of commonly circulating ransomware variants. Each IoC is given a weighted score according to its significance for investigations based on actual patterns of occurrence and contextual behavior. Experimental results clearly separate high-confidence indicators from low-confidence ones. Deleting shadow copy and connecting to Tor2web receive the highest rank scores of about 99.99, while older behaviors like locking screen show lower relevance, around 73.11. The proposed algorithm has a linear time complexity of O(n·m) for score calculation and a bounded space complexity of O(n·m), allowing it to scale for large IoC sets. The findings show that this ranked IoC framework enhances early ransomware detection and helps prioritize responses based on evidence in current security systems.

Future-generation communication networks, including millimeter-wave local area networks, broadband wireless access systems, and emerging fifth- and sixth-generation (5G/6G) networks, require intelligent traffic management to satisfy stringent quality of service (QoS) requirements, including ultra-low latency, high reliability, and massive device connectivity. As network traffic becomes increasingly dynamic and heterogeneous, accurate congestion prediction is essential for preventing resource overloading, maintaining network slicing performance, and ensuring efficient resource utilization. This paper proposes a hybrid deep learning (DL)-based congestion prediction model that combines long short-term memory (LSTM) and support vector machine (SVM) techniques to capture temporal traffic characteristics while improving prediction accuracy. The proposed framework was evaluated through a one-week simulation involving heterogeneous devices operating under varying network conditions to assess its robustness and generalization capability. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model achieved an overall prediction accuracy of 93.23%, while also exhibiting strong performance in terms of specificity, recall, F-score, and computational efficiency. By accurately predicting network congestion before service degradation occurs, the proposed framework enables proactive traffic management and adaptive resource allocation. These findings demonstrate that the hybrid LSTM–SVM model provides an effective, reliable, and scalable solution for intelligent congestion prediction in next-generation 5G/6G communication networks.
