The security of medical data in the cloud is the key consideration of cloud customers. While publishing the medical data, the cloud distributor may suffer from data leakages and attacks such that the data may leak. In order to resolve this, this article devises the developed Adaptive Fractional Brain Storm Integrated Whale Optimization Algorithm (AFBS_WOA), which is the hybridization of Adaptive Fractional Brain Storm Optimization (AFBSO) and Whale Optimization algorithm (WOA). The developed AFBS_WOA algorithm generates the key matrix coefficient for retrieving the perturbed database in order to preserve the privacy of healthcare data in the cloud. The developed AFBS-WOA scheme utilized the fitness function involving utility and privacy measures for calculating the secret key. Here, the privacy-preserved database is obtained by multiplying the input database with a key matrix based on developed AFBS-WOA using the Tracy–Singh product. For data retrieval, the secret key is shared with the service provider in order to retrieve the database, and then the data are accessed. Moreover, the experimental result demonstrates that the developed AFBS_WOA model attained the maximum utility and privacy measure of 0.1872 and 0.8755 using the Hungarian dataset.

Compared to the integer-order systems, the system characteristics of the fractional system are closer to the system characteristics of the real engineering system, the study found beyond that, strictly speaking, various physical phenomena in nature are nonlinear. The problem of parameter estimation problem of fractional-order nonlinear systems can be transformed into the problem of parameter optimization problem by constructing an appropriate fitness function. This paper proposes a hybrid improvement algorithm based on whale optimization algorithm (WOA) to solve this problem and verify it both in Lorenz system and Lu system. The simulation result shows that the hybrid improved algorithm is superior to genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA) and WOA in convergence speed and accuracy.

Abstract This paper proposes a retrievable data perturbation model for overcoming the challenges in cloud computing. Initially, genetic whale optimization algorithm (genetic WOA) is developed by integrating genetic algorithm (GA) and WOA for generating the optimized secret key. Then, the input data and the optimized secret key are given to the Tracy–Singh product-based model for transforming the original database into perturbed database. Finally, the perturbed database can be retrieved by the client, if and only if the client knows the secret key. The performance of the proposed model is analyzed using three databases, namely, chess, T10I4D100K and retail databases from the FIMI data set based on the performance metrics, privacy and utility. Also, the proposed model is compared with the existing methods, such as Retrievable General Additive Data Perturbation, GA and WOA, for the key values 128 and 256. For the key value 128, the proposed model has the better privacy and utility of 0.18 and 0.83 while using the chess database. For the key value 256, the proposed model has the better privacy and utility of 0.18 and 0.85, using retail database. From the analysis, it can be shown that the proposed model has better privacy and utility values than the existing models.

Underwater acoustic technology is an important means of detecting the ocean. Due to the complex influence of the marine environment, there is a lot of noise and baseline drift in the signals collected by hydrophones. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a denoising and baseline drift removal algorithm for MEMS vector hydrophone based on whale-optimized variational mode decomposition (VMD) and correlation coefficient (CC). Firstly, the power spectrum entropy (PSE), which reflects the variation characteristics of the signal frequency is selected as the fitness function of the whale-optimization algorithm to find the parameters (K,α) of the VMD. It is easier to find the global optimal solution of the parameters by combining the whale-optimization algorithm. Then, using the VMD algorithm after obtaining the parameters, the original signal is decomposed to obtain the intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), and calculating the correlation coefficients (CCs) between the IMFs and the original signal. Finally, the CC threshold is used to remove the noise IMFs, and the rest of the useful IMFs are reconstructed to complete the denoising and baseline drift removal process of the original signals. In the simulation experiments, the algorithm proposed in this paper shows better performance by comparing conventional digital signal-processing methods and the related algorithms proposed recently. Applied in the experiments of a MEMS hydrophone, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is also verified. This algorithm can provide new ideas for signal denoising and baseline drift removal.

Minimum cross-entropy is widely used in image segmentation for its effectiveness. However, when the algorithm is applied to multi-threshold segmentation, there are some problems such as large amount of calculation, time-consuming and poor practicability due to exhaustive search for the optimal threshold. Therefore, in this paper, a hybrid whale optimization algorithm (IWOA) which incorporates whale optimization algorithm (WOA) and invasive weed optimization (IWO) is proposed and the minimum cross-entropy is used as the fitness function of optimization algorithm to select the optimal threshold. It is established that IWOA algorithm is able to select the optimal threshold in more accuracy and segment high quality image than other algorithms.

There is a crucial need to process patient’s data immediately to make a sound decision rapidly; this data has a very large size and excessive features. Recently, many cloud-based IoT healthcare systems are proposed in the literature. However, there are still several challenges associated with the processing time and overall system efficiency concerning big healthcare data. This paper introduces a novel approach for processing healthcare data and predicts useful information with the support of the use of minimum computational cost. The main objective is to accept several types of data and improve accuracy and reduce the processing time. The proposed approach uses a hybrid algorithm which will consist of two phases. The first phase aims to minimize the number of features for big data by using the Whale Optimization Algorithm as a feature selection technique. After that, the second phase performs real-time data classification by using Naïve Bayes Classifier. The proposed approach is based on fog Computing for better business agility, better security, deeper insights with privacy, and reduced operation cost. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach can reduce the number of datasets features, improve the accuracy and reduce the processing time. Accuracy enhanced by average rate: 3.6% (3.34 for Diabetes, 2.94 for Heart disease, 3.77 for Heart attack prediction, and 4.15 for Sonar). Besides, it enhances the processing speed by reducing the processing time by an average rate: 8.7% (28.96 for Diabetes, 1.07 for Heart disease, 3.31 for Heart attack prediction, and 1.4 for Sonar).

: Fiber Wireless Access Network is the blend of passive optical network and wireless access network. This network provides higher capacity, better flexibility, more stability and improved reliability to the users at lower cost. Network component (such as Optical Network Unit (ONU)) placement is one of the major research issues which affects the network design, performance and cost. Considering all these concerns, we implement customized Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) for ONU placement. Initially whale optimization algorithm is applied to get optimized position of ONUs, which is followed by reduction of number of ONUs in the network. Reduction of ONUs is done such that with fewer number of ONUs all routers present in the network can communicate. In order to ensure the performance of the network we compute the network parameters such as Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), Total Time for Delivering the Packets in the Network (TTDPN) and percentage reduction in power consumption for the proposed algorithm. The performance of the proposed work is compared with existing algorithms (deterministic and centrally placed ONUs with predefined hops) and has been analyzed through extensive simulation. The result shows that the proposed algorithm is superior to the other algorithms in terms of minimum required ONUs and reduced power consumption in the network with almost same packet delivery ratio and total time for delivering the packets in the network. Therefore, present work is suitable for developing cost-effective FiWi network with maintained network performance.

Computation offloading is one of the most important problems in edge computing. Devices can transmit computation tasks to servers to be executed through computation offloading. However, not all the computation tasks can be offloaded to servers with the limitation of network conditions. Therefore, it is very important to decide quickly how many tasks should be executed on servers and how many should be executed locally. Only computation tasks that are properly offloaded can improve the Quality of Service (QoS). Some existing methods only focus on a single objection, and of the others some have high computational complexity. There still have no method that could balance the targets and complexity for universal application. In this study, a Multi-Objective Whale Optimization Algorithm (MOWOA) based on time and energy consumption is proposed to solve the optimal offloading mechanism of computation offloading in mobile edge computing. It is the first time that MOWOA has been applied in this area. For improving the quality of the solution set, crowding degrees are introduced and all solutions are sorted by crowding degrees. Additionally, an improved MOWOA (MOWOA2) by using the gravity reference point method is proposed to obtain better diversity of the solution set. Compared with some typical approaches, such as the Grid-Based Evolutionary Algorithm (GrEA), Cluster-Gradient-based Artificial Immune System Algorithm (CGbAIS), Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm III (NSGA-III), etc., the MOWOA2 performs better in terms of the quality of the final solutions.

AbstractAs an important part of smart city construction, traffic image denoising has been studied widely. Image denoising technique can enhance the performance of segmentation and recognition model and improve the accuracy of segmentation and recognition results. However, due to the different types of noise and the degree of noise pollution, the traditional image denoising methods generally have some problems, such as blurred edges and details, loss of image information. This paper presents an image denoising method based on BP neural network optimized by improved whale optimization algorithm. Firstly, the nonlinear convergence factor and adaptive weight coefficient are introduced into the algorithm to improve the optimization ability and convergence characteristics of the standard whale optimization algorithm. Then, the improved whale optimization algorithm is used to optimize the initial weight and threshold value of BP neural network to overcome the dependence in the construction process, and shorten the training time of the neural network. Finally, the optimized BP neural network is applied to benchmark image denoising and traffic image denoising. The experimental results show that compared with the traditional denoising methods such as Median filtering, Neighborhood average filtering and Wiener filtering, the proposed method has better performance in peak signal-to-noise ratio.
