The Internet of Things (IoT) is now expanding and becoming more popular in most industries, which leads to vast growth in cloud computing. The architecture of IoT is integrated with cloud computing through web services. Recently, Dynamic Web Service Composition (DWSC) has been implemented to fulfill the IoT and business processes. In recent years, the number of cloud services has multiplied, resulting in cloud services providing similar services with similar functionality but varying in Quality of Services (QoS), for instance, on the response time of web services; however, existing methods are insufficient in solving large-scale repository issues. Bio-inspired algorithm methods have shown better performance in solving the large-scale service composition problems, unlike deterministic algorithms, which are restricted. Thus, an improved eagle strategy algorithm method is proposed to increase the performance that directly indicates an improvement in computation time in large-scale DWSC in a cloud-based platform and on both functional and non-functional attributes of services. By proposing the improved bio-inspired method, the computation time can be improved, especially in a large-scale repository of IoT.
The interconnection of several web services into single composite web services is known as Web Service Composition (WSC). WSC can be implemented in three different ways such as static, semi-dynamic and dynamic. In this research, the dynamic web service composition is accentuated as it is the most challenging method where it occurs during run time to fulfill the business process requirement. Too many errors may lead to the entire failure of WSC at the point whereby poor performance and unavailability take place. In such situation, healing mechanism is required to heal the faults. This research therefore emphasizes on Quality of Service (QoS) that includes availability and performance which utilizes self-healing, an autonomic act which heal the fault by itself without halting the service and human intervention. The self-healing approach that is used in this research is substitution. By substitution, the faulty web service will be automatically substituted with the next web service in the queue from a list of services. By implementing this healing method, the service malfunction is prevented and the quality of web service is improved whereby the web service will always be available with better performance.
With the rapid expansion of cloud computing and the pervasive growth of IoT across industries and educational sectors, the need for efficient remote data management and service orchestration has become paramount. Web services, facilitated by APIs, offer a modular approach to integrating and streamlining complex business processes. However, real-time monitoring and optimal service selection within large-scale, cloud-based repositories remain significant challenges. This study introduces the novel Improved Eagle Strategy (IES) hybrid model, which uniquely integrates bio-inspired optimization with clustering techniques to drastically reduce computation time while ensuring highly accurate service selection tailored to specific user requirements. Through comprehensive NetLogo simulations, the IES model demonstrates superior efficiency in service selection compared to existing methodologies. Additionally, the IES model’s application through a web dashboard system highlights its capability to manage both functional and non-functional service attributes effectively. When deployed on real-time IoT devices, the IES model not only enhances computation speed but also ensures a more responsive and user-centric service environment. This research underscores the transformative potential of the IES model, marking a significant advancement in optimizing cloud computing processes, particularly within the IoT ecosystem.
Background: Emergency triage systems using machine learning traditionally rely on structured tabular data (vital signs), creating a “contextual blind spot” that ignores diagnostic information embedded in unstructured clinical narratives. Hybrid AI models that fuse tabular and text data may improve predictive discrimination, but the magnitude and conditions under which fusion adds value remain unclear. Methods: Five databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library) were searched from 1 January 2015 to 15 December 2025. Eligible studies employed Hybrid AI models integrating structured and unstructured emergency department data with quantitative baseline comparisons. Twenty-five studies (N ≈ 4.8 million encounters) met inclusion criteria. We extracted marginal performance gains (ΔAUC), calibration metrics, and demographic reporting. Synthesis followed SWiM principles with subgroup meta-regression testing our novel “Complexity Gradient” hypothesis. Results: Hybrid models demonstrated superior discrimination compared to tabular baselines, with effect magnitude dependent on clinical task complexity. Low-complexity tasks (tachycardia prediction) showed minimal gains (median ΔAUC + 0.036, IQR: 0.02–0.05), while high-complexity tasks (hypoxia, sepsis) demonstrated substantial improvement (median ΔAUC + 0.111, IQR: 0.09–0.13). Meta-regression confirmed complexity significantly moderated effect size (R2 = 0.42, p = 0.003). Only 12% (3/25) of studies reported calibration metrics (Brier scores: 0.089–0.142). Zero studies stratified performance by race/ethnicity; 88% (22/25) failed to report training data demographics. Discussion: The complexity gradient framework explains when multimodal fusion adds predictive value: tasks where diagnostic signal resides in narrative features (temporality, negation) rather than physiological measurements. However, systematic absence of calibration reporting and fairness auditing prevents clinical deployment. Seventy-two percent of studies had high risk of bias in the analysis domain due to retrospective designs without temporal validation. Conclusions: Hybrid triage models show promise for complex diagnostic tasks but require mandatory calibration reporting and demographic performance stratification before clinical implementation. We propose minimum reporting standards including Brier scores, race-stratified metrics, and temporal validation protocols.

Software fault prediction (SFP) plays a critical role in improving software reliability by enabling early detection and correction of defects. This paper presents a comprehensive review of 25 recent and significant studies on SFP techniques, focusing on data preprocessing strategies, classification algorithms, and their effectiveness across various datasets. The review categorizes the approaches into traditional statistical models, machine learning methods, deep learning architectures, and hybrid techniques. Notably, wrapper-based feature selection, neural network classifiers, and support vector machines (SVM) are identified as the most effective in achieving high accuracy, particularly when dealing with imbalanced or noisy datasets. The paper also highlights advanced approaches such as variational autoencoders (VAE), Bayesian classifiers, and fuzzy clustering for fault prediction. Comparative analysis is provided to assess performance metrics such as accuracy, F-measure, and area under the curve (AUC). The findings suggest that no single method fits all scenarios, but a combination of appropriate preprocessing and robust classification yields optimal results. This review provides valuable insights for researchers and practitioners aiming to enhance software quality through predictive analytics. Future work should explore ensemble learning and real-time SFP systems for broader applicability.
