      Background/Purpose: Among the most commonly diagnosed cancers, melanoma is the second leading cause of cancer-related death. A growing number of people are becoming victims of melanoma. Melanoma is also the most malignant and rare form of skin cancer. Advanced cases of the disease may cause death due to the spread of the disease to internal organs. The National Cancer Institute reported that approximately 99,780 people were diagnosed with melanoma in 2022, and approximately 7,650 died. Therefore, this study aims to develop an optimization algorithm for predicting melanoma patients' survival. Methodology: This applied research was a descriptive-analytical and retrospective study. The study population included patients with melanoma cancer identified from the National Cancer Research Center at Shahid Beheshti University between 2008 and 2013, with a follow-up period of five years. An optimization model was selected for melanoma survival prognosis based on the evaluation metrics of data mining algorithms. Findings: A neural network algorithm, a Naïve Bayes network, a Bayesian network, a combination of decision tree and Naïve Bayes network, logistic regression, J48, and ID3 were selected as the models used in the national database. Statistically, the studied neural network outperformed other selected algorithms in all evaluation metrics. Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that the neural network with a value of 0.97 has optimal performance in terms of reliability. Therefore, the predictive model of melanoma survival showed a better performance both in terms of discrimination power and reliability. Therefore, this algorithm was proposed as a melanoma survival prediction model. Manuscript profile

      In recent years, with the advancement of automotive electronics and the development of modern vehicles with the help of embedded systems and portable equipment, in-vehicle networks such as the controller area network (CAN) have faced new security risks. Since the CAN bus lacks security systems such as authentication and encryption to deal with cyber-attacks, the need for an intrusion detection system to detect attacks on the CAN bus seem to be very necessary. In this paper, a deep adversarial neural network (DACNN) is proposed to detect various types of security intrusions in CAN buses. For this purpose, the DACNN method, which is an extension of the CNN method using adversarial learning, detects intrusion in three stages; In the first stage, CNN acts as a feature descriptor and the main features are extracted, and in the second stage, the discriminating classifier classifies these features and finally, the intrusion is detected using the adversarial learning. In order to show the efficiency of the proposed method, a real open source dataset was used in which the CAN network traffic on a real vehicle during message injection attacks is recorded on a real vehicle. The obtained results show that the proposed method performs better than other machine learning methods in terms of false negative rate and error rate, which is less than 0.1% for DoS and drive gear forgery attack and RPM forgery attack while this rate is less than 0.5% for fuzzy attack.

      As technology develops, institutions and organizations provide many services electronically and intelligently over the Internet. The police, as an institution that provides services to people and other institutions, aims to make its services smarter. Various electronic and intelligent systems have been offered in this regard. Because these systems lack authentication, many services that can be provided online require a visit to +10 police stations. Budget and equipment limitations for face-to-face responses, limitations of the police force and their focus on essential issues, a lack of service offices in villages and a limited number of service offices in cities, and the growing demand for online services, especially in crisis situations like Corona disease, electronic authentication is becoming increasingly important. This article reviews electronic authentication and its necessity, liveness detection methods and face recognition which are two of the most important technologies in this area. In the following, we present an efficient method of face recognition using deep learning models for face matching, as well as an interactive liveness detection method based on Persian speech recognition. A final section of the paper presents the results of testing these models on relevant data from this field. Manuscript profile

      As an emerging technological field, artificial intelligence has received increasing attention from companies and governments. The development of artificial intelligence both at business and country levels depends on knowing the current situation. This paper identifies the artifacts and producers presented in this field and maps them to transformational levels. Products/services and producers are achieved through capabilities provided by artificial intelligence. Then, based on the classification methodology and meta-characteristics, the transformational levels of the artifacts of Iran's artificial intelligence ecosystem have been extracted. 562 products/services were identified, which were offered by 112 companies. Machine vision and natural language processing have been at the top of the technologies used, with 44 and 27 percent of the products allocated to them, respectively. Artifacts and producers were classified into seven transformative levels: individual, organization, industry, electronic chip/hardware, society, platform, code/algorithm/library, and infrastructure. Iran's artificial intelligence productions have not grown in a balanced way. The three levels of platform, code/algorithm/library, and infrastructure as the main generator of other artificial intelligence products/services have had the lowest amount of production. It is suggested that a specialized marketplace for the supply of artificial intelligence application programming interfaces should be put on the agenda to stimulate the formation of the ecosystem.

      Due to the increasing use of industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems, one of the most widely used security mechanisms is intrusion detection system (IDS) in the IIoT. In these systems, deep learning techniques are increasingly used to detect attacks, anomalies or intrusions. In deep learning, the most important challenge for training neural networks is determining the hyperparameters in these networks. To overcome this challenge, we have presented a hybrid approach to automate hyperparameter tuning in deep learning architecture by eliminating the human factor. In this article, an IDS in IIoT based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) and recurrent neural network based on short-term memory (LSTM) using metaheuristic algorithms of particle swarm optimization (PSO) and Whale (WOA) is used. This system uses a hybrid method based on neural networks and metaheuristic algorithms to improve neural network performance and increase detection rate and reduce neural network training time. In our method, considering the PSO-WOA algorithm, the hyperparameters of the neural network are determined automatically without the intervention of human agent. In this paper, UNSW-NB15 dataset is used for training and testing. In this research, the PSO-WOA algorithm has use optimized the hyperparameters of the neural network by limiting the search space, and the CNN-LSTM neural network has been trained with this the determined hyperparameters. The results of the implementation indicate that in addition to automating the determination of hyperparameters of the neural network, the detection rate of are method improve 98.5, which is a good improvement compared to other methods.

      Nowadays, Cloud computing has many applications due to various services. On the other hand, due to rapid growth, resource constraints and final costs, Cloud computing faces with several challenges such as load balancing. The purpose of load balancing is management of the load distribution among the processing nodes in order to have the best usage of resources while having minimum response time for the users’ requests. Several methods for load balancing in Cloud computing have been proposed in the literature. The shuffled frog leaping algorithm for load balancing is a dynamic, evolutionary, and inspired by nature. This paper proposed a modified rapid shuffled frog leaping algorithm (R-SFLA) that converge the defective evolution of frogs rapidly. In order to evaluate the performance of R-SFLA, it is compared to Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm (SFLA) and Augmented Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm (ASFLA) by the overall execution cost, Makespan, response time, and degree of imbalance. The simulation is performed in CloudSim, and the results obtained from the experiments indicated that the proposed algorithm acts more efficient compared to other methods based on the above mentioned factors.

      Variations in telecommunication channels is a challenge of the wireless communication which makes the channel estimation and equalization a noteworthy issue. In OFDM systems, some subcarriers can be considered as pilots for channel estimation. In the pilot-aided channel estimation procedure, interpolation is an essential step to achieve channel response in data subcarriers. Choosing the best interpolation method has been the subject of various researches, because there is no interpolator as the best method in all conditions, and their performance depends on the fading model, signal-to-noise ratio and pilot overhead ratio. In this paper, the effect of different interpolation methods on the quality of DVB-T2 broadcast links is evaluated. A simulation platform is prepared in which different channel models are defined according to the real-world measurements. The interpolation is performed by five widely-used methods (nearest neighbor, linear, cubic, spline, and Makima) for different pilot ratios. After channel equalization by the results of the interpolator, the bit error rate is calculated as the main criterion for evaluation and comparison. The rules of selecting the appropriate interpolator in different conditions is presented. It is generally concluded that for fading scenarios close to flat fading or high pilot overhead ratio, the simple interpolators such as linear interpolator are proper choices. But in harsh conditions, i.e. severe frequency-selective fading channels or low pilot overhead ratio, the more complicated interpolators such as cubic and spline methods yield better results. The amount of improvements and differences are quantified in this study. Manuscript profile

      In this paper, a model based on meta-heuristic algorithms for optimal allocation of IoT resources based on fog calculations is proposed. In the proposed model, the user request is first given to the system as a workflow; For each request, the resource requirements (processing power, storage memory, and bandwidth) are first extracted. This component determines the requested traffic status of the application in terms of real-time. If the application is not real-time and is somewhat resistant to latency, the request will be referred to the cloud environment, but if the application needs to respond promptly and is sensitive to latency, it will be dealt with as a fog calculation. It will be written to one of the Cloudletes. In this step, in order to select the best solution in allocating resources to serve the users of the IoT environment, the ant milk optimization algorithm was used. The proposed method is simulated in MATLAB software environment and to evaluate its performance, five indicators of fog cells energy consumption, response time, fog cell imbalance, latency and bandwidth have been used. The results show that the proposed method reduces the energy consumption, latency rate in fog cells, bandwidth consumption rate, load balance rate and response time compared to the base design (ROUTER) 22, 18, 12, 22 and 47, respectively.

      Generally, in performing technical projects, especially in the field of information and communication technology, the most important criterion for handing over the project is having technical capabilities, and less attention is paid to the communication skills of project managers, such as having emotional intelligence. Lack of attention to this issue seems to reduce the effectiveness of team communication and thus lead to project failure. The aim of this study was to measure the effect of emotional intelligence of project managers on the effectiveness of team communication in the projects of the Institute of Communication and Information Technology. The method of the present research is descriptive-analytical of correlation type, the statistical population of which consists of project managers and members of the project teams of the Research Institute of Communication and Information Technology. The statistical population includes 19 project teams that have been selected by census method. Data collection tools are Bar-On Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire and Senior Questionnaire to evaluate the effectiveness of project team communication. Pearson correlation coefficient, multivariate regression and imaginary variable regression and dependent t-test were used to analyze the data. The results show that the emotional intelligence of project managers affects effective communication in the project team. However, only interpersonal skills, interpersonal skills, and adaptability can predict effective communication within the project team, and the dimensions of general mood and stress management do not affect these relationships Manuscript profile

      Software defined networks (SDNs) are flexible for use in determining network traffic routing because they separate data plane and control plane. One of the major challenges facing SDNs is choosing the right locations to place and distribute controllers; in such a way that the delay between controllers and switches in wide area networks can be reduced. In this regard, most of the proposed methods have focused on reducing latency. But latency is just one factor in network efficiency and overall cost reduction between controllers and related switches. This article examines more factors to reduce the cost between controllers and switches, such as communication link traffic. In this regard, a cluster-based algorithm is provided for network segmentation. Using this algorithm, it can be ensured that each part of the network can reduce the maximum cost (including delays and traffic on links) between the controller and its related switches. In this paper, using Topology Zoo, extensive simulations have been performed under real network topologies. The results of the simulations show that when the probability of congestion in the network increases, the proposed algorithm has been able to control the congestion in the network by identifying the bottleneck links in the communication paths of each node with other nodes. Therefore, considering the two criteria of delay and the degree of busyness of the links, the process of placing and distributing the controllers in the clustering operation has been done with higher accuracy. By doing so, the maximum end-to-end cost between each controller and its related switches, in the topologies Chinanet of China, Uunet of the United States, DFN of Germany, and Rediris of Spain, is decreased 41.2694%, 29.2853%, 21.3805% and 46.2829% respectively.

      In the third millennium, people deal with multiple, diverse, and complicated problems as they cannot possess full control over the information, which is constantly produced and accumulated. Having a high skill of critical thinking for assessing the results of different issues and decision making about them based on evidences is an unavoidable necessity. The researchers of this work proposed a model with seven factors (components) for critical thinking in e-learning environments. The statistical group of this work is the M.Sc. medical education students of  AZAD university e-learning environments, and the students of the same field from Islamic Azad University traditional education system studying during 2011-2012. Among the research community, 47 members were selected based on a simple random method and divided into two trial (with 23 members) and reference (with 42 members) groups. To train the trial group, the seven-factor critical thinking training scale was utilized in e-learning environments in 15 sessions with empirical sciences course. In the reference group, the same seven-factor critical thinking training scale was used in the classroom environment in lecturing in 15 sessions with empirical sciences course. The model factors and components are challenge, representation, creation of opportunity, creation of motivation, logical analysis, encouragement, responsibility, and commitment. Both groups were subject to two pretest and posttest steps within two trial groups, which were considered as reference to each other. Both groups responded to the Watson- Glaser™ Critical Thinking Appraisal within two pretest and posttest steps, while the covariance analysis statistical test was used for analysis of the results. The results indicate significant difference between the scores between trial and reference groups in improving the critical thinking of the students in terms of inferential, assumption detection, deduction, interpretation, and logical reasoning evaluation components (p=0.001). According to the results, in terms of improving critical thinking, the trial group trained in the e-learning environment indicates higher scores as compared to the group trained in the traditional classroom environment.

      I In this paper, a new filter is designed to enhance medial-axis of tubular structures. Based on a multi-scale method and using eigenvectors of Hessian matrix, the distance of a point to the edges of the tube is found. To do this, a hypothetical line with a deliberate direction is passed through the point which cuts the tube at its edges. For points which are located on the medial-axis, this distance is symmetric with respect to any deliberate direction. We find samples of the distances in different directions and assign a measure to the points based on this symmetry property. The output of this step is an enhanced image in which noise is removed and tubes can be seen more clearly. Then, we employ the filter developed by Pock et al. to enhance medial axis. Evaluation of the proposed method is performed using 2D/3D synthetic/clinical datasets both quantitatively and qualitatively. Manuscript profile

      Forecasting markets, including stocks, has been attractive to researchers and investors due to the high volume of transactions and liquidity. The ability to predict the price enables us to achieve higher returns by reducing risk and avoiding financial losses. News plays an important role in the process of assessing current stock prices. The development of data mining methods, computational intelligence and machine learning algorithms have led to the creation of new models in prediction. The purpose of this study is to store news agencies' news and use text mining methods and support vector machine algorithm to predict the next day's stock price. For this purpose, the news published in 17 news agencies has been stored and categorized using a thematic language in Phoenician. Then, using text mining methods, support vector machine algorithm and different kernels, the stock price forecast of the chemical products group in the stock exchange is predicted. In this study, 300,000 news items in political and economic categories and stock prices of 25 selected companies in the period from November to March 1997 in 122 trading days have been used. The results show that with the support vector machine model with linear kernel, prices can be predicted by an average of 83%. Using nonlinear kernels and the quadratic equation of the support vector machine, the prediction accuracy increases by an average of 85% and other kernels show poorer results. ارسال Manuscript profile

      Fog computing technology has emerged to respond to the need for modern IoT applications for low latency, high security, etc. On the other hand, the limitations of fog computing such as heterogeneity, distribution, and resource constraints make service management in this environment challenging. Intelligent service placement means placing application services on fog nodes to ensure their QoS and effective use of resources. Using communities to organize nodes for service placement is one of the approaches in this area, where communities are mainly created based on the connection density of nodes, and applications are placed based on a single-criteria prioritization approach. This leads to the creation of unbalanced communities and inefficient placement of applications. This paper presents a priority-based method for deploying applications in the fog environment. To this end, balanced communities are created and applications are placed in balanced communities based on a multi-criteria prioritization approach. This leads to optimal use of network capacities and increases in QoS. The simulation results show that the proposed method improves deadline by up to 22%, increases availability by about 12%, and increases resource utilization by up to 10%. Manuscript profile

      Today, considering technology development, increased use of Internet in businesses, and movement of business types from physical to virtual and internet, attacks and anomalies have also changed from physical to virtual. That is, instead of thieving a store or market, the individuals intrude the websites and virtual markets through cyberattacks and disrupt them. Detection of attacks and anomalies is one of the new challenges in promoting e-commerce technologies. Detecting anomalies of a network and the process of detecting destructive activities in e-commerce can be executed by analyzing the behavior of network traffic. Data mining systems/techniques are used extensively in intrusion detection systems (IDS) in order to detect anomalies. Reducing the size/dimensions of features plays an important role in intrusion detection since detecting anomalies, which are features of network traffic with high dimensions, is a time-consuming process. Choosing suitable and accurate features influences the speed of the proposed task/work analysis, resulting in an improved speed of detection. In this article, by using data mining algorithms such as J48 and PSO, we were able to significantly improve the accuracy of detecting anomalies and attacks. Manuscript profile

      Intrusion detection systems seek to realize several objectives, such as increasing the true detection rate, reducing the detection time, reducing the computational load, and preserving the resulting logs in such a way that they cannot be manipulated or deleted by unauthorized people. Therefore, this study seeks to solve the challenges by benefiting from the advantages of blockchain technology, its durability, and relying on IDS architecture based on multi-node cooperation. The proposed model is an intrusion detection engine based on the decision tree algorithm implemented in the nodes of the architecture. The architecture consists of several connected nodes on the blockchain platform. The resulting model and logs are stored on the blockchain platform and cannot be manipulated. In addition to the benefits of using blockchain, reduced occupied memory, the speed, and time of transactions are also improved by blockchain. In this research, several evaluation models have been designed for single-node and multi-node architectures on the blockchain platform. Finally, proof of architecture, possible threats to architecture, and defensive ways are explained. The most important advantages of the proposed scheme are the elimination of the single point of failure, maintaining trust between nodes, and ensuring the integrity of the model, and discovered logs.

      In this article first the use of computer security models and its benefits are discussed in a novel way. Then, while briefly introducing the space of computer security encounters in the form of ontology, for the first time, three perspectives in the study of patterns in this field have been identified and distinguished from each other. These three perspectives include the view of secure models, the view of security models, and the view of the framework and system to security models. The first and third perspectives are briefly explained and the second perspective is studied in detail from the perspective of the organization of patterns, including the five types of organization. The five types mentioned include software-based lifecycle organization, logical-level organization-based organization, threat-based classification-based organization, attack-based classification-based organization, and application-based organization. In this type of introduction of patterns, the audience acquires a comprehensive view of the discourse of computer security patterns and acquires the necessary knowledge to make better use of these patterns. Finally, the analysis and idea of this research is presented in the form of introducing a new type of organization in order to facilitate the proper use and addressing of patterns. In this idea, it is stated that the existing categories are mostly static and forward-looking and do not have the necessary dynamism and backwardness, and the idea of covering all stakeholders and security ontology can have this feature and, in addition, include agile patterns as well. .

      BPMN2.0 Standard is a modeling language, which can be understood and used by a wide range of users. However, because of its non-formal nature, models (designed using it) can be containing structural errors such as Deadlock (impossibility of executing some of process tasks) and Livelock (infinite repetition of tasks) may be produced by using them. These semantic errors can create anomalies in the workflow of the organization. So far, some researches has been conducted on the validation of these process models and various solutions have been provided to discover some of these structural errors. The question that may be raised about these methods is whether it is possible to definitely guarantee the structural accuracy of a BPMN method model by using any of them? To answer this question, we need a comprehensive definition of a correct BPMN2.0 process model, based on which we can evaluate the comprehensiveness of validation methods and strongly make sure that the considered method can discover all of the structural errors of the process model. In this paper, based on concept of general process models and the concept of soundness (based on process models created using Petri nets) and the generalization of its properties, i.e. Liveness and Boundness to BPMN2.0 process models, a comprehensive definition for a correct (sound) BPMN2 process model provided. Then, the comprehensiveness of the suggested methods of some of the most important researches conducted has been evaluated based on it. This definition can be used as a measure for efficiency of BPMN validation methods. Manuscript profile

      Community structure is a common and important feature in many complex networks, including bipartite networks. In recent years, community detection has received attention in many fields and many methods have been proposed for this purpose, but the heavy consumption of time in some methods limits their use in large-scale networks. There are methods with lower time complexity, but they are mostly non-deterministic, which greatly reduces their applicability in the real world. The usual approach that is adopted to community detection in bipartite networks is to first construct a unipartite projection of the network and then communities detect in that projection using methods related to unipartite networks, but these projections inherently lose information. In this paper, based on the bipartite modularity measure that quantifies the strength of partitions in bipartite networks and using the HellRank centrality measure, a quick and deterministic method for community detection from bipartite networks directly and without need to projection, proposed. The proposed method is inspired by the voting process in election activities in the social society and simulates it. Manuscript profile

      Mobile edge computing improves the experience of end users to achieve appropriate services and service quality. In this paper, the problem of improving resource allocation when offloading tasks based on mobile devices to edge servers in computing systems was investigated. Some tasks are processed locally and some are offloaded to edge servers. The main issue is that the offloaded tasks for virtual machines in computing networks are properly scheduled to minimize computing time, service cost, computing network waste, and the maximum connection of a task with the network. In this paper, it was introduced using the hybrid algorithm of particle swarm and gray wolf to manage resource allocation and task scheduling to achieve an optimal result in edge computing networks. The comparison results show the improvement of waiting time and cost in the proposed approach. The results show that, on average, the proposed model has performed better by reducing the work time by 10% and increasing the use of resources by 16%. Manuscript profile

      Interpreting contents in social networks with the aim of analyzing the sentiment of their narrators is of particular significance. In this paper, we present a framework for such a purpose, which is able to classify the messages hidden in contents based on using some rule-type protocols with high abstraction level. According to this framework, items such as prosodic of a content's narrator, context of disseminating a content and the key propositions in a content's text are regarded in the condition part of a protocol, while the possible classes for the message in a content are considered as its action part. It is to be noted that the proposed rule-type protocols can equally be used for other languages due to the generic-ness of the above-mentioned items. Results of computer simulations on a variety of different contents in the social networks show that the proposed framework is sufficiently capable of analyzing the sentiment of the contents' narrators in these networks.

      Test-Driven Development (TDD) is one of the test-first software production methods in which the production of each component of the code begins with writing the test case. This method has been noticed due to many advantages, including the readable, regular and short code, as well as increasing the quality, productivity and reliability, and the possibility of regression testing due to the creation of a comprehensive set of unit tests. The large number of unit test cases produced in this method is considered as a strong point in order to increase the reliability of the code, however, the repeated execution of test cases increases the duration of the regression testing in this method. The purpose of this article is to present an algorithm for selecting test cases to reduce the time of the regression test in TDD method. So far, various ideas have been proposed to select test cases and reduce the regression test time. Most of these ideas are based on programming language and software production methods. The idea presented in this article is based on the program difference method and the nature of the TDD method. In this method, meaningful semantic and structural connections are created between unit tests and code blocks, and the test case selection is done based on these relationships. Manuscript profile

      Due to its power in modeling complex relations between entities, graph theory has been widely used in dealing with real-world problems. On the other hand, information retrieval has emerged as one of the major problems in the area of algorithms and computation. As graph-based information retrieval algorithms have shown to be efficient and effective, this paper aims to provide an analytical review of these algorithms and propose a categorization of them. Briefly speaking, graph-based information retrieval algorithms might be divided into three major classes: the first category includes those algorithms which use a graph representation of the corresponding dataset within the information retrieval process. The second category contains semantic retrieval algorithms which utilize the graph theory. The third category is associated with the application of the graph theory in the learning to rank problem. The set of reviewed research works is analyzed based on both the frequency as well as the publication time. As an interesting finding of this review is that the third category is a relatively hot research topic in which a limited number of recent research works are conducted. Manuscript profile
