Internet of Things (IoT) systems often consist of heterogeneous, resource-constrained devices that generate massive amounts of data. This data is important for assessments, behaviour analysis, and decision-making. However, IoT devices are also susceptible to cyber-attacks, such as information theft, personal device intervention, and privacy invasion. In case of an incident, these devices are subject to digital forensic investigation to identify and analyze crimes and misuse. Over the years, sev...
Derivation and Independence of Usul al-Fiqh (Foundations of Islamic Jurisprudence)
Published in: Al Wasl University Journal

The discipline of Usul al-Fiqh (Foundations of Islamic Jurisprudence) is the most important in Islamic Shari'a. A scholar cannot reach the level of Ijtihad (independent legal reasoning) without a thorough understanding of Usul al-Fiqh, and it is not permissible in Islam for someone who has not studied Usul al-Fiqh to issue a fatwa. To learn any field of knowledge, one must first familiarise oneself with the ten principles of that field, which include its definition, subject matter, questio...

Given the escalating concerns posed by climate change-related disasters, there is an urgent need for a more sustainable and resilient built environment. The developing digital revolution in recent years has the potential to harness its superior features to achieve sustainable and resilient building sector goals. This paper aims to present a futuristic perspective on the three basic pillars of a more sustainable and resilient built environment. These pillars comprise sustainability, resilience, ...
Hybrid Snake Optimizer Algorithm for Solving Economic Load Dispatch Problem with Valve Point Effect
Published in: The Journal of Supercomputing
May 26, 2024
Snake optimizer (SO) is an optimization algorithm drawn from the reproductive habits of serpents. It exhibits outstanding effectiveness in solving continuous optimization problems. However, SO may face some performance challenges related to its population diversity and early convergence behavior. In this paper, we address the challenges of SO by introducing the Hybrid snake optimizer algorithm (HSOA). HSOA is a novel approach to optimization that incorporates two new optimization techniques int...
