Exploring Multi-Task Learning for Forecasting Energy-Cost Resource Allocation in IoT-Cloud Systems

Cloud computing has become increasingly popular due to its capacity to perform computations without relying on physical infrastructure,thereby revolutionizing computer processes.However,the rising energy consumption in cloud centers poses a significant challenge,especially with the escalating energy costs.This paper tackles this issue by introducing efficient solutions for data placement and node management,with a clear emphasis on the crucial role of the Internet of Things(IoT)throughout the research process.The IoT assumes a pivotal role in this study by actively collecting real-time data from various sensors strategically positioned in and around data centers.These sensors continuously monitor vital parameters such as energy usage and temperature,thereby providing a comprehensive dataset for analysis.The data generated by the IoT is seamlessly integrated into the Hybrid TCN-GRU-NBeat(NGT)model,enabling a dynamic and accurate representation of the current state of the data center environment.Through the incorporation of the Seagull Optimization Algorithm(SOA),the NGT model optimizes storage migration strategies based on the latest information provided by IoT sensors.The model is trained using 80%of the available dataset and subsequently tested on the remaining 20%.The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach,with a Mean Squared Error(MSE)of 5.33%and a Mean Absolute Error(MAE)of 2.83%,accurately estimating power prices and leading to an average reduction of 23.88%in power costs.Furthermore,the integration of IoT data significantly enhances the accuracy of the NGT model,outperforming benchmark algorithms such as DenseNet,Support Vector Machine(SVM),Decision Trees,and AlexNet.The NGT model achieves an impressive accuracy rate of 97.9%,surpassing the rates of 87%,83%,80%,and 79%,respectively,for the benchmark algorithms.These findings underscore the effectiveness of the proposed method in optimizing energy efficiency and enhancing the predictive capabilities of cloud computing systems.The IoT plays a critical role in driving these advancements by providing real-time data insights into the operational aspects of data centers.

A Novel Radius Adaptive Based on Center-Optimized Hybrid Detector Generation Algorithm

Negative selection algorithm(NSA)is one of the classic artificial immune algorithm widely used in anomaly detection.However,there are still unsolved shortcomings of NSA that limit its further applications.For example,the nonselfdetector generation efficiency is low;a large number of nonselfdetector is needed for precise detection;low detection rate with various application data sets.Aiming at those problems,a novel radius adaptive based on center-optimized hybrid detector generation algorithm(RACO-HDG)is put forward.To our best knowledge,radius adaptive based on center optimization is first time analyzed and proposed as an efficient mechanism to improve both detector generation and detection rate without significant computation complexity.RACO-HDG works efficiently in three phases.At first,a small number of self-detectors are generated,different from typical NSAs with a large number of self-sample are generated.Nonself-detectors will be generated from those initial small number of self-detectors to make hybrid detection of self-detectors and nonself-detectors possible.Secondly,without any prior knowledge of the data sets or manual setting,the nonself-detector radius threshold is self-adaptive by optimizing the nonself-detector center and the generation mechanism.In this way,the number of abnormal detectors is decreased sharply,while the coverage area of the nonself-detector is increased otherwise,leading to higher detection performances of RACOHDG.Finally,hybrid detection algorithm is proposed with both self-detectors and nonself-detectors work together to increase detection rate as expected.Abundant simulations and application results show that the proposed RACO-HDG has higher detection rate,lower false alarm rate and higher detection efficiency compared with other excellent algorithms.
