This paper addresses the task allocation problem in IoT networks, introduces a new formulation derived from the set cover problem, and extends the set cover problem to express conflicts. By developing evolutionary algorithms and introducing heuristic operators, the experimental results show that the multi-objective evolutionary algorithm converges to more accurate solutions than the single-objective evolutionary algorithm, supporting the importance of heuristic operators in mitigating network lifetime contradictions.
Efficient distribution of tasks in an Internet of Things (IoT) network ensures the fulfillment for all objects to dynamically cooperate with their limited energy, processing and memory capabilities. The main contribution of this paper is threefold. Firstly, we address the task allocation in the IoT as an optimization problem with a new formulation derived from the context of set cover problem. To the best of our knowledge, no such study has been considered in the literature. Secondly, we extend the set cover problem to further express the conflict that meets with both operational period and stability. Thirdly, an evolutionary single objective and multi-objective algorithms are developed to tackle the formulated problem. Two heuristic operators are also introduced and injected within the framework of the evolutionary algorithms where the need arises to harness their strength in terms of both operational period and network stability. Performance evaluation is reported while different problem dimensions are experimented with in the simulations. The results show that the proposed multi-objective evolutionary algorithm is quite appropriate to converge to more accurate solutions than the counterpart single objective evolutionary algorithm. Further, the results give plausible evidence supporting the importance of the proposed heuristic operators to mitigate against the contradictory nature of the network lifetime in terms of operational period and stability.

Deep Q-network-based heuristic intrusion detection against edge-based SIoT zero-day attacks
Shigen Shen, Chenpeng Cai, Zhenwei Li, Yizhou Shen, Guowen Wu, Shui Yu
Summary: To address the damage caused by zero-day attacks on SIoT systems, researchers propose a heuristic learning intrusion detection system named DQN-HIDS. By integrating Deep Q-Networks (DQN) into the system, DQN-HIDS gradually improves its ability to identify malicious traffic and reduces resource workloads. Experiments demonstrate the superior performance of DQN-HIDS in terms of workload, delayed sample queue, rewards, and classifier accuracy.

Improved energy management of chiller system with AI-based regression
Fu-Wing Yu, Wai-Tung Ho, Chak-Fung Jeff Wong
Summary: This research aims to enhance the energy management in commercial building air-conditioning systems, specifically focusing on chillers. Ridge regression is found to outperform lasso and elastic net regression when optimized with the appropriate hyperparameter, making it the most suitable method for modeling the system coefficient of performance (SCOP). The key variables that strongly influence SCOP include part load ratios, the operating numbers of chillers and pumps, and the temperatures of chilled water and condenser water. Additionally, July is identified as the month with the highest potential for performance improvement. This study introduces a novel approach that balances feature selection, model accuracy, and optimal tuning of hyperparameters, highlighting the significance of a generic and simplified chiller system model in evaluating energy management opportunities for sustainable operation. The findings from this research can guide future efforts towards more energy-efficient and sustainable operations in commercial buildings.

A systematic review of metaheuristic algorithms in electric power systems optimization
Gerardo Humberto Valencia-Rivera, Maria Torcoroma Benavides-Robles, Alonso Vela Morales, Ivan Amaya, Jorge M. Cruz-Duarte, Jose Carlos Ortiz-Bayliss, Juan Gabriel Avina-Cervantes
Summary: Electric power system applications are complex optimization problems. Most literature reviews focus on studying electrical paradigms using different optimization techniques, but there is a lack of review on Metaheuristics (MHs) in these applications. Our work provides an overview of the paradigms underlying such applications and analyzes the most commonly used MHs and their search operators. We also discover a strong synergy between the Renewable Energies paradigm and other paradigms, and a significant interest in Load-Forecasting optimization problems. Based on our findings, we provide helpful recommendations for current challenges and potential research paths to support further development in this field.
