Abstract:The Social Spider Optimization algorithm (SSO) is a novel metaheuristic optimization algorithm. To enhance the convergence speed and computational accuracy of the algorithm, in this paper, an elite opposition-based Social Spider Optimization algorithm (EOSSO) is proposed; we use an elite opposition-based learning strategy to enhance the convergence speed and computational accuracy of the SSO algorithm. The 23 benchmark functions are tested, and the results show that the proposed elite opposition-based Social Spider Optimization algorithm is able to obtain an accurate solution, and it also has a fast convergence speed and a high degree of stability.
Network anomaly detection systems (NADSs) play a significant role in every network defense system as they detect and prevent malicious activities. Therefore, this paper offers an exhaustive overview of different aspects of anomaly-based network intrusion detection systems (NIDSs). Additionally, contemporary malicious activities in network systems and the important properties of intrusion detection systems are discussed as well. The present survey explains important phases of NADSs, such as pre-processing, feature extraction and malicious behavior detection and recognition. In addition, with regard to the detection and recognition phase, recent machine learning approaches including supervised, unsupervised, new deep and ensemble learning techniques have been comprehensively discussed; moreover, some details about currently available benchmark datasets for training and evaluating machine learning techniques are provided by the researchers. In the end, potential challenges together with some future directions for machine learning-based NADSs are specified.
The job-shop scheduling problem is one of the well-known hardest combinatorial optimization problems. The problem has captured the interest of a significant number of researchers, but no efficient solution algorithm has been found yet for solving it to optimality in polynomial time. In this paper, a hybrid social-spider optimization algorithm with differential mutation operator is presented to solve the job-shop scheduling problem. To improve the exploration capabilities of the social spider optimization algorithm (SSO), we incorporate the DM operator (a mutation operator taken from the deferential evolutionary (DE) algorithm) into the framework of the female cooperative operator. The experimental results show that the proposed method effectiveness in solving job-shop scheduling compared to other optimization algorithms in the literature.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification.
