y of the SSBFCSoS and compare its performance with other approaches, two datasets were employed. They are (Glest & StarCraft Brood War). With each dataset, 15 test cases were examined. We achieved, on average, 89% in solving the conflict compared to 77% for other approaches. Moreover, it showed an acceleration of up to proportionality over previous approaches for about 16% in solving conflicts as well. Besides, it reduced the frequency of the same conflicts by approximately 23% better than the other method, not only in the same cluster but even while combining different clusters.The evolution of electronic media is a mixed blessing. Due to the easy access, low cost, and faster reach of the information, people search out and devour news from online social networks. In contrast, the increasing acceptance of social media reporting leads to the spread of fake news. This is a minacious problem that causes disputes and endangers the societal stability and harmony. Fake news spread has gained attention from researchers due to its vicious nature. proliferation of misinformation in all media, from the internet to cable news, paid advertising and local news outlets, has made it essential for people to identify the misinformation and sort through the facts. Researchers are trying to analyze the credibility of information and curtail false information on such platforms. Credibility is the believability of the piece of information at hand. Analyzing the credibility of fake news is challenging due to the intent of its creation and the polychromatic nature of the news. In this work, we propose a model for detecting fake news. Our method investigates the content of the news at the early stage i.e., when the news is published but is yet to be disseminated through social media. Our work interprets the content with automatic feature extraction and the relevance of the text pieces. In summary, we introduce stance as one of the features along with the content of the article and employ the pre-trained contextualized word embeddings BERT to obtain the state-of-art results for fake news detection. The experiment conducted on the real-world dataset indicates that our model outperforms the previous work and enables fake news detection with an accuracy of 95.32%.Using prototype methods to reduce the size of training datasets can drastically reduce the computational cost of classification with instance-based learning algorithms like the k-Nearest Neighbour classifier. The number and distribution of prototypes required for the classifier to match its original performance is intimately related to the geometry of the training data. As a result, it is often difficult to find the optimal prototypes for a given dataset, and heuristic algorithms are used instead. However, we consider a particularly challenging setting where commonly used heuristic algorithms fail to find suitable prototypes and show that the optimal number of prototypes can instead be found analytically. We also propose an algorithm for finding nearly-optimal prototypes in this setting, and use it to empirically validate the theoretical results. Finally, we show that a parametric prototype generation method that normally cannot solve this pathological setting can actually find optimal prototypes when combined with the results of our theoretical analysis.Data acquisition problem in large-scale distributed Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is one of the main issues that hinder the evolution of Internet of Things (IoT) technology. Recently, combination of Compressive Sensing (CS) and routing protocols has attracted much attention. An open question in this approach is how to integrate these techniques effectively for specific tasks. In this paper, we introduce an effective deterministic clustering based CS scheme (DCCS) for fog-supported heterogeneous WSNs to handle the data acquisition problem. DCCS employs the concept of fog computing, reduces total overhead and computational cost needed to s
