Abstract The evolution of cities into digitally managed environments requires computational systems that can operate in real time while supporting predictive and adaptive infrastructure management. Earlier approaches have often advanced one dimension—such as Internet of Things (IoT)-based data acquisition, Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven analytics, or digital twin visualization—without fully integrating these strands into a single operational loop. As a result, many existing solutions encounter bottlenecks in responsiveness, interoperability, and scalability, while also leaving concerns about data privacy unresolved. This research introduces a hybrid AI–IoT–Digital Twin framework that combines continuous sensing, distributed intelligence, and simulation-based decision support. The… More >

Abstract Several optimization methods, such as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Genetic Algorithm (GA), are used to select the most suitable Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) technology for the optimal operation of the power system, as well as to determine its optimal location and size to minimize power losses. An IEEE 14 bus system, integrating three wind turbines based on Squirrel Cage Induction Generators (SCIGs), is used to test the applicability of the proposed algorithms. The results demonstrate that these algorithms are capable of selecting the most appropriate technology while optimally sizing and locating the STATCOM to More >

Abstract Most material distribution-based topology optimization methods work on a relaxed form of the optimization problem and then push the solution toward the binary limits. However, when benchmarking these methods, researchers use known solutions to only a single form of benchmark problem. This paper proposes a comparison platform for systematic benchmarking of topology optimization methods using both binary and relaxed forms. A greyness measure is implemented to evaluate how far a solution is from the desired binary form. The well-known Zhou-Rozvany (ZR) problem is selected as the benchmarking problem here, making use of available global solutions… More >

Abstract Response analysis of structures involving non-probabilistic uncertain parameters can be closely related to optimization. This paper provides a review on optimization-based methods for uncertainty analysis, with focusing attention on specific properties of adopted numerical optimization approaches. We collect and discuss the methods based on nonlinear programming, semidefinite programming, mixed-integer programming, mathematical programming with complementarity constraints, difference-of-convex programming, optimization methods using surrogate models and machine learning techniques, and metaheuristics. As a closely related topic, we also overview the methods for assessing structural robustness using non-probabilistic uncertainty modeling. We conclude the paper by drawing several remarks through More >

Abstract The migration of tasks aided by machine learning (ML) predictions IN (DPM) is a system-level design technique that is used to reduce energy by enhancing the overall performance of the processor. In this paper, we address the issue of system-level higher task dissipation during the execution of parallel workloads with common deadlines by introducing a machine learning-based framework that includes task migration using energy-efficient earliest deadline first scheduling (EA-EDF). ML-based EA-EDF enhances the overall throughput and optimizes the energy to avoid delay and performance degradation in a multiprocessor system. The proposed system model allocates processors… More >

Abstract Three recent breakthroughs due to AI in arts and science serve as motivation: An award winning digital image, protein folding, fast matrix multiplication. Many recent developments in artificial neural networks, particularly deep learning (DL), applied and relevant to computational mechanics (solid, fluids, finite-element technology) are reviewed in detail. Both hybrid and pure machine learning (ML) methods are discussed. Hybrid methods combine traditional PDE discretizations with ML methods either (1) to help model complex nonlinear constitutive relations, (2) to nonlinearly reduce the model order for efficient simulation (turbulence), or (3) to accelerate the simulation by predicting… More >

Abstract Topology optimization (TO), a numerical technique to find the optimal material layout with a given design domain, has attracted interest from researchers in the field of structural optimization in recent years. For beginners, opensource codes are undoubtedly the best alternative to learning TO, which can elaborate the implementation of a method in detail and easily engage more people to employ and extend the method. In this paper, we present a summary of various open-source codes and related literature on TO methods, including solid isotropic material with penalization (SIMP), evolutionary method, level set method (LSM), moving More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract In data mining and machine learning, feature selection is a critical part of the process of selecting the optimal subset of features based on the target data. There are 2ⁿ potential feature subsets for every n features in a dataset, making it difficult to pick the best set of features using standard approaches. Consequently, in this research, a new metaheuristics-based feature selection technique based on an adaptive squirrel search optimization algorithm (ASSOA) has been proposed. When using metaheuristics to pick features, it is common for the selection of features to vary across runs, which can lead… More >

Abstract Phishing attacks are security attacks that do not affect only individuals’ or organizations’ websites but may affect Internet of Things (IoT) devices and networks. IoT environment is an exposed environment for such attacks. Attackers may use thingbots software for the dispersal of hidden junk emails that are not noticed by users. Machine and deep learning and other methods were used to design detection methods for these attacks. However, there is still a need to enhance detection accuracy. Optimization of an ensemble classification method for phishing website (PW) detection is proposed in this study. A Genetic More >

Abstract Automatic voltage regulators (AVRs) in electrical grids preserve the voltage at its nominal value. Regulating the parameters of proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controllers used for AVRs is a nonlinear optimization issue. The objective function is designed to minimize the settling time, rise time, and overshoot of step response of resultant voltage with subjugation to constraints of PID controller parameters. In this study, we suggest using an Archimedes optimization algorithm (AOA) to tune the parameters of the PID controllers for AVRs. In addition, using an AOA to optimize the parameters of a fractional-order PID (FOPID) controller and a… More >
