    Enhancing Multicriteria-Based Recommendations by Alleviating Scalability and Sparsity Issues Using Collaborative Denoising Autoencoder

    S. Abinaya*, K. Uttej Kumar

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.78, No.2, pp. 2269-2286, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.047167

    Abstract A Recommender System (RS) is a crucial part of several firms, particularly those involved in e-commerce. In conventional RS, a user may only offer a single rating for an item-that is insufficient to perceive consumer preferences. Nowadays, businesses in industries like e-learning and tourism enable customers to rate a product using a variety of factors to comprehend customers’ preferences. On the other hand, the collaborative filtering (CF) algorithm utilizing AutoEncoder (AE) is seen to be effective in identifying user-interested items. However, the cost of these computations increases nonlinearly as the number of items and users increases. To triumph over the… More >

    Longle Cheng1,2, Xiru Li1, Shiyu Fang2, Wansu Pan1, He Zhao1,*, Haibo Tan1, Xiaofeng Li1,2

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.78, No.2, pp. 2491-2509, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.047166

    Abstract Peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay networks provide message transmission capabilities for blockchain systems. Improving data transmission efficiency in P2P networks can greatly enhance the performance of blockchain systems. However, traditional blockchain P2P networks face a common challenge where there is often a mismatch between the upper-layer traffic requirements and the underlying physical network topology. This mismatch results in redundant data transmission and inefficient routing, severely constraining the scalability of blockchain systems. To address these pressing issues, we propose FPSblo, an efficient transmission method for blockchain networks. Our inspiration for FPSblo stems from the Farthest Point Sampling (FPS) algorithm, a well-established technique widely… More >

    Tayyaba Noreen1,*, Qiufen Xia1, Muhammad Zeeshan Haider2

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.75, No.2, pp. 2593-2613, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.036139

    Abstract In the past decade, blockchain has evolved as a promising solution to develop secure distributed ledgers and has gained massive attention. However, current blockchain systems face the problems of limited throughput, poor scalability, and high latency. Due to the failure of consensus algorithms in managing nodes’identities, blockchain technology is considered inappropriate for many applications, e.g., in IoT environments, because of poor scalability. This paper proposes a blockchain consensus mechanism called the Advanced DAG-based Ranking (ADR) protocol to improve blockchain scalability and throughput. The ADR protocol uses the directed acyclic graph ledger, where nodes are placed according to their ranking positions… More >

    Quality of Service Improvement with Optimal Software-Defined Networking Controller and Control Plane Clustering

    Jehad Ali, Byeong-hee Roh*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.67, No.1, pp. 849-875, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2021.014576

    Abstract The controller is indispensable in software-defined networking (SDN). With several features, controllers monitor the network and respond promptly to dynamic changes. Their performance affects the quality-of-service (QoS) in SDN. Every controller supports a set of features. However, the support of the features may be more prominent in one controller. Moreover, a single controller leads to performance, single-point-of-failure (SPOF), and scalability problems. To overcome this, a controller with an optimum feature set must be available for SDN. Furthermore, a cluster of optimum feature set controllers will overcome an SPOF and improve the QoS in SDN. Herein, leveraging an analytical network process… More >
