        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
