The Internet of Things (IoT) has become one of the most important concepts in various aspects of our modern life in recent years. However, the most critical challenge for the world-wide use of the IoT is to address its security issues. One of the most important tasks to address the security challenges in the IoT is to detect intrusion in the network. Although the machine/deep learning-based solutions have been repeatedly used to detect network intrusion through recent years, there is still considerable potential to improve the accuracy and performance of the classifier (intrusion detector). In this paper, we develop a novel training algorithm to better tune the parameters of the used deep architecture. To specifically do so, we first introduce a novel neighborhood search-based particle swarm optimization (NSBPSO) algorithm to improve the exploitation/exploration of the PSO algorithm. Next, we use the advantage of NSBPSO to optimally train the deep architecture as our network intrusion detector in order to obtain better accuracy and performance. For evaluating the performance of the proposed classifier, we use two network intrusion detection datasets named UNSW-NB15 and Bot-IoT to rate the accuracy and performance of the proposed classifier.

Operating room scheduling is a prominent study topic due to its complexity and significance. The increasing number of technical operating room scheduling articles produced each year calls for another evaluation of the literature to enable academics to respond to new trends more quickly. The mathematical application of a model for the patient admission scheduling issue with stochastic arrivals and departures is the subject of this study. The approach for applying our model to real-world issues is discussed here. We present a solution technique for efficient computing, a numerical model analysis, and examples to demonstrate the methodology. This study looked at the challenge of assigning procedures to operate rooms in the face of ambiguity regarding surgery length and the arrival of emergency patients based on a flexible policy (capacity reservation). We demonstrate that the proposed methods derived from deterministic models are inadequate compared to the answers produced from our stochastic model using simple numerical examples. We also use heuristics to estimate the objective function to build more complicated numerical examples for large-scale issues, demonstrating that our methodology can be applied quickly to real-world situations that often include big information sets.
