Dynamic Offloading Technique for Latency-Sensitive Internet of Things Applications using Fog Computing
Internet of Things (IoT) has evolved as a novel paradigm that provides com-putation power to different entities connected to it. IoT offers services to multiple sectors such as home automation, industrial automation, traffic management, healthcare sector, agriculture industry etc. IoT generally relies on cloud data centers for extended analytics, processing and storage support. The cloud offers highly scalable and robust platform for IoT applications. But latency sensitive IoT applications suffer delay issues as the cloud lies in remote location. Edge/fog computing was introduced to overcome the issues faced by delay-sensitive IoT applications. These platforms lie close to the IoT network, reducing the delay and response time. The fog nodes are usually distributed in nature. The data has to be properly offloaded to available fog nodes using efficient strategies to gain benefit from the integration. Differ-ent offloading schemes are available in the literature to overcome this prob-lem This paper proposes a novel offloading approach by combining two effi-cient metaheuristic algorithms, Honey Badger Algorithm (HBA) and Fla-mingo Search Algorithm (FSA) termed as HB-FS algorithm. The HB-FS is executed in an iterative manner optimizing the objective function in each it-eration. The performance evaluation of the proposed approach is done with different existing metaheuristic algorithms and the evaluations show that the proposed work outperforms the existing algorithms in terms of latency, response time and execution time. The methodology also offers better degree of imbalance with proper load balancing under different conditions. 2023 Authors. All rights reserved. -
Dynamic optimal network reconfiguration under photovoltaic generation and electric vehicle fleet load variability using self-adaptive butterfly optimization algorithm
Currently, electrical distribution networks (EDNs) have used modern technologies to operate and serve many types of consumers such as renewable energy, energy storage systems, electric vehicles, and demand response programs. Due to the variability and unpredictability of these technologies, all these technologies have brought various challenges to the operation and control of EDNs. In this case, in order to operate effectively, it is inevitable that effective power redistribution is required in the entire network. In this paper, a multi-objective based dynamic optimal network reconfiguration (DONR) problem is formulated using power loss and voltage deviation index considering the hourly variation of load, photovoltaic (PV) power, and electric vehicle (EV) fleet load in the network. This paper introduces recently introduced meta-heuristic butterfly optimization algorithm (BOA) and it's improve variant of self-adaptive method (SABOA) for solving the DONR problem. The simulation study of IEEE 33-bus EDN under different conditions has proved the effectiveness of DONR, and its adoptability for real-time applications. In addition, by comparing different performance indicators (such as mean, standard deviation, variance, and average calculation time) of 50 independently run simulations, the efficiency of SABOA can be evaluated compared with other heuristic methods (HMs). Comparative studies show that SABOA is better than PSO, TLBO, CSA and FPA in the frequent occurrence of global optimal values. 2021 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston 2021. -

Dynamic route scheduler in vehicular ad hoc network for smart crowd control
Revenue generated by tourism is positively correlated with the development of any city. In recent years, tourism is getting peak focus among the government, local bodies, and researchers. This has led to increase in initiatives to grow tourism in and across the country. Being one of the most flourishing sectors, tourism in India shows bold signals of emerging as a strong participant in the world of tourism. In addition to safeguarding its culture and deep-rooted traditional values, tourism provides a way to increase employment opportunities as well as increase the foreign exchange within the country. There are many open research problems arising in the domain, which need the attention of researchers. City traffic management is one among the major concern for cities around the world. Scheduling dynamic travel plans for tourists with crowd and traffic awareness has high scope for research. In this paper, a system is proposed which connects the vehicles to a centralized sink for getting the optimal routes. Route scheduling is done based on a prediction model. Different parameters were collected from the environment that includes crowd, traffic, and schedule of other vehicles. The system has modules like static nodes, mobile nodes, host nodes, and sink node for the control and management. Selection of path and protocol is a primary strategy to design any VANET systems. Hence, performance analysis of routing protocols for the proposed system is done as a major step in selection of protocols. Packet delivery ratio, jitter, and throughput are common measures used for the comparison of protocols. 2019, Springer-Verlag London Ltd., part of Springer Nature. -
Dynamic task distribution model for on-chip reconfigurable high speed computing system
Modern embedded systems are being modeled as Reconfigurable High Speed Computing System (RHSCS) where Reconfigurable Hardware, that is, Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), and softcore processors configured on FPGA act as computing elements. As system complexity increases, efficient task distribution methodologies are essential to obtain high performance. A dynamic task distribution methodology based on Minimum Laxity First (MLF) policy (DTD-MLF) distributes the tasks of an application dynamically onto RHSCS and utilizes available RHSCS resources effectively. The DTD-MLF methodology takes the advantage of runtime design parameters of an application represented as DAG and considers the attributes of tasks in DAG and computing resources to distribute the tasks of an application onto RHSCS. In this paper, we have described the DTD-MLF model and verified its effectiveness by distributing some of real life benchmark applications onto RHSCS configured on Virtex-5 FPGA device. Some benchmark applications are represented as DAG and are distributed to the resources of RHSCS based on DTD-MLF model. The performance of the MLF based dynamic task distribution methodology is compared with static task distribution methodology. The comparison shows that the dynamic task distribution model with MLF criteria outperforms the static task distribution techniques in terms of schedule length and effective utilization of available RHSCS resources. 2015 Mahendra Vucha and Arvind Rajawat. -

Dynamical analysis of a model of social behavior: Criminal vs non-criminal population
In this paper, we construct a model motivated by the well known predator-prey model to study the interaction between criminal population and non-criminal population. Our aim is to study various possibilities of interactions between them. First we model it using simple predator-prey model, then we modify it by considering the logistic growth of non-criminal population. We clearly deduce that the model with logistic growth is better than classical one. More precisely, the role of carrying capacity on the dynamics of criminal minded population is discussed. Further, we incorporate law enforcement term in the model and study its effect. The result obtained suggest that by incorporating enforcement law, the criminal population reduces from the very beginning, which resembles with real life situation. Our result indicates that the criminal minded population exist as long as coefficient of enforcement lc does not cross a threshold value and after this value the criminal minded population extinct. In addition, we also discuss the occurrence of saddle-node bifurcation in case of model system with law enforcement. Numerical examples and simulations are presented to illustrate the obtained results. 2017 Elsevier Ltd -
Dynamical analysis of fractional yellow fever virus model with efficient numerical approach
In this paper, we have projected the theoretical and numerical investigation of the mathematical model representing the yellow fever virus transmission from infected mosquitoes to humans or vise-versa through mosquito bites in the framework of the Caputo derivative. Theoretical aspects of the dynamics of susceptible individuals, exposed individuals, infected individuals, toxic infected individuals, recovered and immune individuals, and susceptible mosquitoes and infected mosquitoes have been analyzed by using the theory of fractional calculus such as boundedness, uniqueness and existence of the solutions. Sufficient conditions for the global stability of the virus-free point of equilibrium are inspected. T validate the theoretical results numerical analysis is performed using the generalized Adams-Bashforth-Moultan method. 2023, Eudoxus Press, LLC. All rights reserved. -
Dynamics of a fractional epidemiological model with disease infection in both the populations
In order to depict a situation of possible spread of infection from prey to predator, a fractional-order model is developed and its dynamics is surveyed in terms of boundedness, uniqueness, and existence of the solutions. We introduce several threshold parameters to analyze various points of equilibrium of the projected model, and in terms of these threshold parameters, we have derived some conditions for the stability of these equilibrium points. Global stability of axial, predator-extinct, and disease-free equilibrium points are investigated. Novelty of this model is that fractional derivative is incorporated in a system where susceptible predators get the infection from preys while predating as well as from infected predators and both infected preys and predators do not reproduce. The occurrences of transcritical bifurcation for the proposed model are investigated. By finding the basic reproduction number, we have investigated whether the disease will become prevalent in the environment. We have shown that the predation of more number of diseased preys allows us to eliminate the disease from the environment, otherwise the disease would have remained endemic within the prey population. We notice that the fractional-order derivative has a balancing impact and it assists in administering the co-existence among susceptible prey, infected prey, susceptible predator, and infected predator populations. Numerical computations are conducted to strengthen the theoretical findings. 2021 Author(s). -
Dynamics of chaotic waterwheel model with the asymmetric flow within the frame of Caputo fractional operator
The chaotic waterwheel model is a mechanical model that exhibits chaos and is also a practical system that justifies the Lorenz system. The chaotic waterwheel model (or Malkus waterwheel model) is modified with the addition of asymmetric water inflow to the system. The hereditary property of the modified chaotic waterwheel model is analyzed to determine the system's stability and identify the parameter that contributes to the stability We also examine the factor that leads to the bifurcation. We determine the well-posed nature of the modified system. The modified chaotic waterwheel model is defined with the Caputo fractional operator. The existence and uniqueness, boundedness, stability, Lyapunov stability, and numerical simulation are studied for the modified fractional waterwheel model. The bifurcation parameter and Lyapunov exponent are examined to study the chaotic nature of the system with respect to the fractional order. The nature of the system is captured with the help of the efficient numerical approach AdamsBashforthMoulton Method. The numerical approach demonstrates that the chaotic nature of the modified chaotic waterwheel is changed into unstable nature, which could further reduce to the stable case with suitable values of the parameter. This analysis is justified with the help of Lyapunov exponent. We consider irrational order (?,e) in the present work to illustrate the reliability of fractional order. 2023 Elsevier Ltd -
Dynamics of fractional model of biological pest control in tea plants with beddingtondeangelis functional response
In this study, we depicted the spread of pests in tea plants and their control by biological enemies in the frame of a fractional-order model, and its dynamics are surveyed in terms of boundedness, uniqueness, and the existence of the solutions. To reduce the harm to the tea plant, a harvesting term is introduced into the equation that estimates the growth of tea leaves. We analyzed various points of equilibrium of the projected model and derived the conditions for the stability of these equilibrium points. The complex nature is examined by changing the values of various parameters and fractional derivatives. Numerical computations are conducted to strengthen the theoretical findings. 2021 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. -

Dynamics of magneto-nano third-grade fluid with brownian motion and thermophoresis effects in the pressure type die
The non-transient dynamics of the non-Newtonian third-grade liquid driven by pressure type die in the presence of nanoparticles is studied. The fluid is dissipating and its properties are taken as unvarying. The governing partial differential equations system is developed and they are numerically solved after non-dimensionalization. The significance of pertinent parameters on flow fields is analyzed and discussed. The thermal field shows dual behaviour in the flow domain due to the impact of magnetism, Brownian motion and thermophoresis. 2019 by American Scientific Publishers All rights reserved. -
Dynamics of public debt sustainability in major Indian states
This study empirically tests whether the public debt is sustainable or not at 22 major Indian states during 200607 to 201516. It employs the Bohn model for panel data, five alternative specifications and p-spline technique to analyze the issue at aggregate and disaggregate levels. While the results indicate that the debt is sustainable at the aggregate level, it is sustainable only in about 11 states. The results suggest that the fiscal reaction function is linear and the central grant-in aid is an important and a significant undermining factor of sustainability. If the grant-in-aid is excluded from the primary balance, there remain significant positive responses at the aggregate level. However, at the disaggregate level it is significant in only 11 states. Further, the most sustainable states fail to meet the no-Ponzi condition and so the policy intervention is required to improve the debt situation of the states where debt is unsustainable. 2019, 2019 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. -
Dynamics of Sutterby fluid flow due to a spinning stretching disk with non-Fourier/Fick heat and mass flux models
The magnetohydrodynamic Sutterby fluid flow instigated by a spinning stretchable disk is modeled in this study. The Stefan blowing and heat and mass flux aspects are incorporated in the thermal phenomenon. The conventional models for heat and mass flux, i.e., Fourier and Fick models, are modified using the Cattaneo-Christov (CC) model for the more accurate modeling of the process. The boundary layer equations that govern this problem are solved using the apt similarity variables. The subsequent system of equations is tackled by the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg (RKF) scheme. The graphical visualizations of the results are discussed with the physical significance. The rates of mass and heat transmission are evaluated for the augmentation in the pertinent parameters. The Stefan blowing leads to more species diffusion which in turn increases the concentration field of the fluid. The external magnetism is observed to decrease the velocity field. Also, more thermal relaxation leads to a lower thermal field which is due to the increased time required to transfer the heat among fluid particles. The heat transport is enhanced by the stretching of the rotating disk. 2021, Shanghai University. -

E-governance diffusion in the telecenters of Karnataka-a gender analysis
E-governance is the interaction between a government and its citizens to deliver services in an efficient manner by means of information technology and telecommunication. The current study takes into account three aspects namely-economical, governance and services that impact the e-governance diffusion in the telecenters set up at the hobli level of Karnataka state. A framework is created with these aspects and validated through the present study. The study explores whether gender differentials exist in the e-governance diffusion process. The research adds up to the literature in establishing that gender differentials disappear when the e-governance is in the stage of maturity. One-way ANOVA is used to identify the gender differentials in e-governance diffusion through the NadaKacheri centres of Karnataka. The study proposes policy changes by the government to render better services and governance to the citizens. 2017 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd. -
