Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) play a major part in numerous applications such as smart agriculture, healthcare, and environmental monitoring. Safeguarding protected communication in this network is dominant. Securing data transmission in WSNs needs a strong key distribution device to defend against malicious attacks as well as illegal access. Traditional techniques like pre-shared or centralized key management are often unreasonable owing to resource limitations, particularly in large-scale sensor systems. To overcome this challenge, a lightweight key distribution technique is employed for safeguarding the security and privacy of data transmission streamlining processes decreasing computational overhead as well as energy consumption. By optimizing and simplifying key distribution devices, we propose to improve the complete efficacy and trustworthiness of WSNs that aid safe communication while preserving valuable energy resources. Therefore, this article designs an Efficient Key Distribution for Secure and Energy-Optimized Communication using bioinspired algorithms (EKDSOCBA) for WSN. The purpose of the EKD-SOCBA technique is to accomplish security and energy efficiency in WSNs. Initially, the EKD-SOCBA technique applies a golden jackal optimization (GJO) based clustering approach to cluster the nodes and select cluster heads (CHs). Also, a lightweight Dynamic Step-wise Tiny Encryption Algorithm (DS -TEA) is applied to secure data transmission in the network. Finally, a lightweight key management phase is employed to protect the encryption key and decrease energy utilization and overhead costs. To exhibit the enhanced act of the EKD-SOCBA model, a comprehensive set of imitations was involved. Extensive results stated enhanced presentation of EKD-SOCBA methodology over other models on WSN.

This paper discusses the improvement of roller compacted concrete by the addition of red pine needle (PN) fibers optimized by bioinspired techniques. The purpose was to determine a perfect set of mechanical characteristics, such as flexural, compressive, and splitting tensile strengths, by determining proper correlations between the water-cement ratio, superplasticizer, and fiber volume. Based on the data obtained with the help of experiments, it was shown that optimizing the PN fibers added to RCC with nature-inspired algorithms (particle swarm optimization, genetic algorithms, simulated annealing and artificial neural networks) yields positive results in terms of improving a number of characteristics, including flexural strength, fracture toughness, and durability. In addition, adopting PN fibers has certain environmental benefits. All methods under analysis showed good results, with the artificial neural network (ANN) being superior in terms of predicting the parameters of RCC. The discussed research confirms the effectiveness of such optimization methods for determining the best proportions for RCC using PN fibers. At the same time, future studies could further develop sustainable and mechanically strong RCC formulations.

Steganography is a technique for concealing sensitive information behind a specific media source, such as an image, audio, or video file, in such a way that the concealed data are invisible to everyone. Many algorithms have been developed to optimize this process for better output. We aim to identify the different optimization algorithms used in image steganography after embedding the data to improve the resilience, visibility, and payload carrying capacity. Additionally, we highlight several bioinspired algorithms, including particle swarm optimization, ant colony optimization, firefly optimization, and artificial bee colony optimization, and evaluate through performance measures such as peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and mean square error (MSE). The performance metrics generated from the collected data indicate that the firefly method produced a higher PSNR and a lower MSE, namely 72.42 dB and 0.13, respectively. The methods are evaluated in terms of their ability for data embedding, robustness, and imperceptibility.

The solution of the optimization problem of constructing regular networks (graphs) that are optimal over the average diameter is investigated. Two classes of parametrically described regular networks are investigated - circulant and hypercirculant networks. An approach using bioinspired algorithms for the automatic synthesis of parametric descriptions of optimal circulant and hypercirculant networks has been developed. A comparative analysis of five different bioinspired algorithms (genetic algorithm, differential evolution, particle swarm optimization, algorithm of artificial bee colony and firefly algorithm) was carried out using them to solve this optimization problem. For the found optimal networks structural characteristics such as diameter, average diameter, bandwidth, reliability were obtained, and these networks were compared according to these characteristics.

Ephemeral computing is a term that describes computing systems whose nodes or their connectivity have an ephemeral, heterogeneous and possibly also unpredictable nature, These properties will affect the functioning of distributed versions of computer algorithms. Such algorithms, which are usually straightforward extensions of sequential algorithms, will have to be redesigned and, in many cases, rethought from the ground up, to be able to use all ephemerally available resources. Porting algorithms to an inherently ephemeral, unreliable and massively heterogeneous computing substrate is thus one of the main challenges in the ephemeral computing field. algorithms adapted so that they can be consciously running on this kind of environments require specific properties in terms of flexibility, plasticity and robustness. bioinspired algorithms are particularly well suited to this endeavor, thanks to their decentralized functioning, intrinsic parallelism, resilience, adaptiveness, and amenability for being endowed with algorithmic components dealing with both the massive complexity of the computational substrate and that of the problem being tackled. Arranging these components and functionalities in a collection of algorithmic strata results in deep architectures, whereby different layers of optimization are organized into loosely-coupled hierarchies that not only are able to use ephemeral computing environments, but also profit from them by making adaptivity and diversity maintenance features of the algorithm. Moreover, the synergies that arise when these massively heterogeneous computing resources are made available to deep versions of bioinspired algorithms may enable hard real-world problems and applications to be successfully faced in the Big Data context (including but not limited to social data analysis) as well as problems in the areas of computational creativity or computer gaming.

bioinspired algorithms are search, optimization, and learning techniques whose functioning is based on some metaphor of a biological process. Prominent examples include evolutionary algorithms and swarm intelligence methods. The practical application of these techniques to real-world problems typically involves orchestrating the interplay among different algorithmic components in order to attain synergistic search capabilities. This is a common theme in complex systems, in which the whole is more than the sum of the parts due to the complex interaction patterns among system components, giving rise to emergent properties not anticipated at the base level. Indeed, such systems are prevalent in many contexts, both natural (biological systems, ecosystems, etc.) and artificial (social networks, finance markets, etc.). Analyzing and understanding such systems is not only of the foremost interest, but also constitutes in general a formidable task requiring powerful tools. Metaheuristics in general and bioinspired algorithms in particular can greatly contribute to this end. Furthermore, their intrinsic complex nature makes them prone to be also subject of analysis using a complex-system perspective. (C) 2017 Published by Elsevier B.V.

With the fast growth of mobile phone usage, malicious threats against Android mobile devices are enhanced. The Android system utilizes a wide range of sensitive apps like banking apps;thus, it develops the aim of malware that uses the vulnerability of safety measures. Identifying Android malware in smartphones is a vital target for the cyber community to eliminate menacing malware instances. Drawing stimulus from the adaptability and efficacy of biological systems, these methods emulate nature's problem-solving systems for identifying malicious software. By integrating principles, namely, swarm intelligence (SI), neural networks (NN), and genetic algorithms (GA), these bioinspired systems reveal exceptional efficiency in identifying both known and developing Android malware attacks. This bioinspired system provides a capable avenue for robust Android malware detection from an ever-shifting threat landscape. This article designs a bioinspired Artificial Intelligence-based Android Malware Detection and Classification (BAI-AMDC) technique for Cybersecurity Applications. The BAIAMDC technique exploits the concept of bioinspired algorithms with a DL approach for the classification and detection of Android malware. In the BAI-AMDC technique, an improved cockroach swarm optimization algorithm-based feature selection (ICSOA-FS) technique can be applied to choose optimum features. The BAIAMDC technique employs a bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) model for Android malware detection. An arithmetic optimization algorithm (AOA) can be utilized to enhance the detection performance of the BAIAMDC technique. The experimental validation of the BAI-AMDC system can be performed on the CICAndMal2017 database with 10,000 instances. The simulation values highlighted the productive ability of the BAIAMDC system on the Android malware recognition process.

Satisfying energy demand has become a global problem that is on the rise due to population growth, infrastructure deterioration, a decline in fossil fuel sources, and high costs for investment, among others. Smart grids, in addition to those challenges that they have at the level of energy generation, have other management challenges derived from the great diversity of components that make them up, such as energy storage systems (batteries, capacitors, etc.), the different types of consumers (controllable, non-controllable loads) and prosumers (electric vehicles, self-sustaining buildings, micro-grid, etc.), among others. Consequently, a distributed control problem is presented, mainly oriented to the coordination of its components. A possible solution is to achieve the participation of each component when conditions are more favorable, such as prioritizing production with renewable energy sources, or taking advantage of prosumers so that they can meet local demand, among other things. Therefore, new strategies with a distributed approach such as bio-inspired emergent controls are necessary. The objective of this work is the specification of an emergent control approach to coordinate a smart grid. This approach allows the coordination of the energy supply in various operating scenarios. The results obtained demonstrate a perfect synchronization between the different smart grid components (agents), prioritizing renewable energy sources, regardless of the operational context (for example, in cases of failures, unsuitable environmental conditions, etc.).
