The fog computing paradigm is promising for deploying various delay-sensitive Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The resource-constrained fog devices restrict the number of application deployments due to a lack of efficient resource estimation and discovery mechanisms for various emergent...

Some unusual combinations of predictor values in multivariate regression often influence tampering with the output, and filtering those observations becomes the trickiest and most challenging task. This concern is prevalent and predominant in ecological domains, especially in soil samples, as...

Over the past five years, emerging economies have consistently progressed toward achieving greater economic independence. The aviation industry has played a significant role in driving this progress. Accurately forecasting the future demand for air travel is crucial for making long-term...

Appointment scheduling is critical to increasing resource utilization and operational performance in various industry domains, especially healthcare. Costs to care for several serious diseases are projected to grow due to the aging population and rising drug prices. Thus, there is an urgent need...

We propose a high-frequency rebalancing algorithm (HFRA) and compare its performance with periodic rebalancing (PR) and threshold rebalancing (TR) strategies. PR refers to the process of adjusting the relative weight of assets within portfolios at regular time intervals, whereas TR is a process...

Open shop scheduling problems (OSSP) are highly significant in engineering and industry, involving critical scheduling challenges. The job type determines the duration required for material transfer between machines and remains unaffected by distance, eliminating any waiting time for transfers....

Analyzing the flow of vehicles within a metropolitan area is essential to understand traffic congestion better and evaluate urban mobility for more environmentally and sustainable targets. This study uses real-time big data to conduct a spatiotemporal analysis of traffic congestion patterns in...

Military systems have many components, such as garrisons, border guards, and industries with a large population that may be affected by disasters. Garrisons, hospitals, clinics, and other facilities in military systems are needed to reduce human casualties. However, these facilities may not have...

Increasing demand for miniaturized components as micro-holes with diameters ranging from a few microns to hundreds of microns used in automobile, aviation, electronics, and medical industries makes laser beam drilling (LBD) a viable option in today's manufacturing environment. The LBD processes...
