Abstract
Answering a query through a peer-to-peer database presents one of the greatest challenges due to the high cost and time required to obtain a comprehensive response. Consequently, these systems were primarily designed to handle approximation queries. In our research, the primary objective was to develop an intelligent system capable of responding to approximate set-value inquiries. This paper explores the use of particle optimization to enhance the system's intelligence. In contrast to previous studies, our proposed method avoids the use of sampling. Despite the utilization of the best sampling methods, there remains a possibility of error, making it difficult to guarantee accuracy. Nonetheless, achieving a certain degree of accuracy is crucial in handling approximate queries. Various factors influence the accuracy of sampling procedures. The results of our studies indicate that the suggested method has demonstrated improvements in terms of the number of queries issued, the number of peers examined, and its execution time, which is significantly faster than the flood approach. Answering queries poses one of the most arduous challenges in peer-to-peer databases, as obtaining a complete answer is both costly and time-consuming. Consequently, approximation queries have been adopted as a solution in these systems. Our research evaluated several methods, including flood algorithms, parallel diffusion algorithms, and ISM algorithms. When it comes to query transmission, the proposed method exhibits superior cost-effectiveness and execution times.

Abstract
Nowadays, Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) systems are not exclusively associated with the gaming industry. Their potential is also useful for other business areas such as healthcare, automotive, and educational domains. Companies need to accompany technological advances and enhance their business processes and thus, the adoption of VR or AR technologies could be advantageous in reducing resource usage or improving the overall efficiency of processes. However, before implementing these technologies, companies must be aware of potential cyberattacks and security risks to which these systems are subject. This study presents a survey of attacks related to VR and AR scenarios and their risk assessment when considering healthcare, automation, education, and gaming industries. The main goal is to make companies aware of the possible cyberattacks that can affect the devices and their impact on their business domain. © 2023 IEEE.

Abstract
Cloud computing is a modern technology that has become popular today. A large number of requests has made it essential to propose a resources allocation framework for arriving requests. The network can be made more efficient and less costly this way. The cloud-edge paradigm has been considered a growing research area in the computing industry in recent years. The increase in the number of customers and requests for cloud data centers (CDCs) has created the need for robust servers and low power consumption mechanisms. Ways to reduce energy in the CDC having appropriate algorithms for resource allocation. The purpose of this study was to develop an intelligent method for dynamic resource allocation using Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) neural-fuzzy systems and ant colony optimization (ACO) techniques to reduce energy consumption by optimizing resource allocation in cloud networks. It predicts future loads using a drop-down window to track CPU usage. By optimizing virtual machine migration, ACO can reduce energy consumption. Simulations are provided by examining the implementation and a variety of parameters such as the number of requests made wasted resources, and requests rejected. In this paper, we propose the use of virtual machine migration to accomplish two main goals: evacuating additional and non-optimal virtual machines (scaling and shutting down additional active physical machines) and solving the resource granulation problem. We evaluated and compared our results with literature for rejection rates of virtual and physical machine applications. The performances of our algorithms are compared to different criteria such as performance in request rejection, dynamic CPU resource allocation with reinforcement learning, multi-objective resource allocation, NSGAIII, Whale optimization and Forecast Particle Swarm allocation. A comparison of some evaluation criteria showed that the proposed method is more efficient than other methods.

Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are a set of low-cost wireless sensors that can collect, process and send environment's data. WSN nodes are battery powered, therefore energy management is a key factor for long live network. One way to prolong lifetime of network is to utilize routing protocols to manage energy consumption. To have an energy efficient protocol in environment interactions, we can apply ZigBee protocols. Among these Artificial Intelligence Interactions routing methods, Tree Routing (TR) that acts in the tree network topology is considered a simple routing protocol with low overhead for ZigBee. In a tree topology, every nodes can be recognized as a parent or child of another node and in this regard, there is no circling. The most important problem of TR is increasing the number of steps to get data to the destination. To solve this problem several algorithms were proposed that its focus is on fewer steps. In this research we present an artificial Intelligence Tree Routing based on RNN and ZigBee protocol in IoT environment. Simulation results show that NEWTR improve the network lifetime by 5.549% and decreases the energy consumption (EC) of the network by 5.817% as compared with AODV routing protocol.

Abstract
Today, cloud platforms for Internet of Everything (IoE) are facilitating organizational and industrial growth, and have different requirements based on their different purposes. Usual task scheduling algorithms for distributed environments such as group of clusters, networks, and clouds, focus only on the shortest execution time, regardless of the power consumption. Network energy can be optimized if tasks are properly scheduled to be implemented in virtual machines, thus achieving green computing. In this research, Dynamic Voltage Frequency Dcaling (DVFS) is used in two different ways, to select a suitable candidate for scheduling the tasks with the help of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) approach. First, the GIoTDVFS_SFB method based on sorting processor elements in Cloud has been considered to handle Task Scheduling problem in the Clouds system. Alternatively, the GIoTDVFS_mGA microgenetic method has been used to select suitable candidates. The proposed mGA and SFB methods are compared with SLAbased suggested for Cloud environments, and it is shown that the Makespan and Gain in benchmarks 512 and 1024 are optimized in the proposed method. In addition, the Energy Consumption (EC) of Real PM (RPMs) against the numeral of Tasks has been considered with that of PAFogIoTDVFS and EnergyAwareDVFS methods in this area. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.

Abstract
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is one of the promising and effective approaches to establishing network virtualization by providing a central controller to monitor network bandwidth and transmission devices. This paper studies resource allocation in SDN by mapping virtual networks on the infrastructure network. Considering mapping as a way to distribute tasks through the network, proper mapping methodologies will directly influence the efficiency of infrastructure resource management. Our proposed method is called Effective Initial Mapping in SDN (EIMSDN), and it suggests writing a module in the controller to initialize mapping by arriving at a new request if a sufficient number of resources are available. This would prevent rewriting the rules on the switches when remapping is necessary for an n-time window. We have also considered optimizing resource allocation in network virtualization with dynamic infrastructure resources management. We have done it by writing a module in OpenFlow controller to initialize mapping when there are sufficient resources. EIMSDN is compared with SDN-nR, SSPSM, and SDN-VN in criteria such as acceptance rates, cost, average switches resource utilization, and average link resource utilization.
