Specifically, the logarithmic utility function is utilized to address the potential fairness issue that may arise from the maximum sum-rate based objective function and the optical power constraints are set considering the non-negativity of the transmit signal, the requirement of the human eyes safety and all users' quality of service(Qo S). Then, the SSA is utilized to solve this optimization problem. Moreover, to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed strategy, it is compared with the fixed power allocation(FPA) and the gain ratio power allocation(GRPA) schemes. Results show that regardless of the number of users considered, the sum-rate achieved by SSA consistently outperforms that of FPA and GRPA schemes. Specifically, compared to FPA and GRPA schemes, the sum-rate obtained by SSA is increased by 40.45% and 53.44% when the number of users is 7, respectively. The proposed SSA also has better performance in terms of user fairness. This work will benefit the design and development of the NOMA-visible light communication(VLC) systems.展开更多

To enhance the real-time performance and computational efficiency of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) in path planning, the AGA incorporates an Equal-Size Clustering Algorithm (ESCA) based on the K-means clustering method. The ESCA divides the primary task evenly into a series of subtasks, thereby reducing the gene length in the subsequent GA process. The algorithm then employs GA to solve each subtask sequentially. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, a simulation program was designed to perform path planning for 100 trajectories, and the results were compared with those of State-Of-The-Art (SOTA) methods. The simulation results demonstrate that, although the solutions provided by AGA are suboptimal, it exhibits significant advantages in terms of execution speed and solution stability compared to other algorithms.展开更多

文摘Previous studies have shown that deep learning is very effective in detecting known attacks.However,when facing unknown attacks,models such as Deep Neural Networks(DNN)combined with Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM),Convolutional Neural Networks(CNN)combined with LSTM,and so on are built by simple stacking,which has the problems of feature loss,low efficiency,and low accuracy.Therefore,this paper proposes an autonomous detectionmodel for Distributed Denial of Service attacks,Multi-Scale Convolutional Neural Network-Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Units-Single Headed Attention(MSCNN-BiGRU-SHA),which is based on a Multistrategy Integrated Zebra Optimization Algorithm(MI-ZOA).The model undergoes training and testing with the CICDDoS2019 dataset,and its performance is evaluated on a new GINKS2023 dataset.The hyperparameters for Conv_filter and GRU_unit are optimized using the Multi-strategy Integrated Zebra Optimization Algorithm(MIZOA).The experimental results show that the test accuracy of the MSCNN-BiGRU-SHA model based on the MIZOA proposed in this paper is as high as 0.9971 in the CICDDoS 2019 dataset.The evaluation accuracy of the new dataset GINKS2023 created in this paper is 0.9386.Compared to the MSCNN-BiGRU-SHA model based on the Zebra Optimization Algorithm(ZOA),the detection accuracy on the GINKS2023 dataset has improved by 5.81%,precisionhas increasedby 1.35%,the recallhas improvedby 9%,and theF1scorehas increasedby 5.55%.Compared to the MSCNN-BiGRU-SHA models developed using Grid Search,Random Search,and Bayesian Optimization,the MSCNN-BiGRU-SHA model optimized with the MI-ZOA exhibits better performance in terms of accuracy,precision,recall,and F1 score.

文摘The advent of microgrids in modern energy systems heralds a promising era of resilience,sustainability,and efficiency.Within the realm of grid-tied microgrids,the selection of an optimal optimization algorithm is critical for effective energy management,particularly in economic dispatching.This study compares the performance of Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)and Genetic Algorithms(GA)in microgrid energy management systems,implemented using MATLAB tools.Through a comprehensive review of the literature and sim-ulations conducted in MATLAB,the study analyzes performance metrics,convergence speed,and the overall efficacy of GA and PSO,with a focus on economic dispatching tasks.Notably,a significant distinction emerges between the cost curves generated by the two algo-rithms for microgrid operation,with the PSO algorithm consistently resulting in lower costs due to its effective economic dispatching capabilities.Specifically,the utilization of the PSO approach could potentially lead to substantial savings on the power bill,amounting to approximately$15.30 in this evaluation.Thefindings provide insights into the strengths and limitations of each algorithm within the complex dynamics of grid-tied microgrids,thereby assisting stakeholders and researchers in arriving at informed decisions.This study contributes to the discourse on sustainable energy management by offering actionable guidance for the advancement of grid-tied micro-grid technologies through MATLAB-implemented optimization algorithms.

文摘Parameter extraction of photovoltaic(PV)models is crucial for the planning,optimization,and control of PV systems.Although some methods using meta-heuristic algorithms have been proposed to determine these parameters,the robustness of solutions obtained by these methods faces great challenges when the complexity of the PV model increases.The unstable results will affect the reliable operation and maintenance strategies of PV systems.In response to this challenge,an improved rime optimization algorithm with enhanced exploration and exploitation,termed TERIME,is proposed for robust and accurate parameter identification for various PV models.Specifically,the differential evolution mutation operator is integrated in the exploration phase to enhance the population diversity.Meanwhile,a new exploitation strategy incorporating randomization and neighborhood strategies simultaneously is developed to maintain the balance of exploitation width and depth.The TERIME algorithm is applied to estimate the optimal parameters of the single diode model,double diode model,and triple diode model combined with the Lambert-W function for three PV cell and module types including RTC France,Photo Watt-PWP 201 and S75.According to the statistical analysis in 100 runs,the proposed algorithm achieves more accurate and robust parameter estimations than other techniques to various PV models in varying environmental conditions.All of our source codes are publicly available at https://github.com/dirge1/TERIME.

文摘The Internet of Things(IoT)has emerged as an important future technology.IoT-Fog is a new computing paradigm that processes IoT data on servers close to the source of the data.In IoT-Fog computing,resource allocation and independent task scheduling aim to deliver short response time services demanded by the IoT devices and performed by fog servers.The heterogeneity of the IoT-Fog resources and the huge amount of data that needs to be processed by the IoT-Fog tasks make scheduling fog computing tasks a challenging problem.This study proposes an Adaptive Firefly Algorithm(AFA)for dependent task scheduling in IoT-Fog computing.The proposed AFA is a modified version of the standard Firefly Algorithm(FA),considering the execution times of the submitted tasks,the impact of synchronization requirements,and the communication time between dependent tasks.As IoT-Fog computing depends mainly on distributed fog node servers that receive tasks in a dynamic manner,tackling the communications and synchronization issues between dependent tasks is becoming a challenging problem.The proposed AFA aims to address the dynamic nature of IoT-Fog computing environments.The proposed AFA mechanism considers a dynamic light absorption coefficient to control the decrease in attractiveness over iterations.The proposed AFA mechanism performance was benchmarked against the standard Firefly Algorithm(FA),Puma Optimizer(PO),Genetic Algorithm(GA),and Ant Colony Optimization(ACO)through simulations under light,typical,and heavy workload scenarios.In heavy workloads,the proposed AFA mechanism obtained the shortest average execution time,968.98 ms compared to 970.96,1352.87,1247.28,and 1773.62 of FA,PO,GA,and ACO,respectively.The simulation results demonstrate the proposed AFA’s ability to rapidly converge to optimal solutions,emphasizing its adaptability and efficiency in typical and heavy workloads.

文摘This study presents a real-time tracking algorithm derived from the retina algorithm,designed for the rapid,real-time tracking of straight-line particle trajectories.These trajectories are detected by pixel detectors to localize single-event effects in two-dimensional space.Initially,we developed a retina algorithm to track the trajectory of a single heavy ion and achieved a positional accuracy of 40μm.This was accomplished by analyzing trajectory samples from the simulations using a pixel sensor with a 72×72 pixel array and an 83μm pixel pitch.Subsequently,we refined this approach to create an iterative retina algorithm for tracking multiple heavy-ion trajectories in single events.This iterative version demonstrated a tracking efficiency of over 97%,with a positional resolution comparable to that of single-track events.Furthermore,it exhibits significant parallelism,requires fewer resources,and is ideally suited for implementation in field-programmable gate arrays on board-level systems,facilitating real-time online trajectory tracking.

文摘Nowadays,abnormal traffic detection for Software-Defined Networking(SDN)faces the challenges of large data volume and high dimensionality.Since traditional machine learning-based detection methods have the problem of data redundancy,the Metaheuristic Algorithm(MA)is introduced to select features beforemachine learning to reduce the dimensionality of data.Since a Tyrannosaurus Optimization Algorithm(TROA)has the advantages of few parameters,simple implementation,and fast convergence,and it shows better results in feature selection,TROA can be applied to abnormal traffic detection for SDN.However,TROA suffers frominsufficient global search capability,is easily trapped in local optimums,and has poor search accuracy.Then,this paper tries to improve TROA,namely the Improved Tyrannosaurus Optimization Algorithm(ITROA).It proposes a metaheuristic-driven abnormal traffic detection model for SDN based on ITROA.Finally,the validity of the ITROA is verified by the benchmark function and the UCI dataset,and the feature selection optimization operation is performed on the InSDN dataset by ITROA and other MAs to obtain the optimized feature subset for SDN abnormal traffic detection.The experiment shows that the performance of the proposed ITROA outperforms compared MAs in terms of the metaheuristic-driven model for SDN,achieving an accuracy of 99.37%on binary classification and 96.73%on multiclassification.
文摘Cloud computing has become an essential technology for the management and processing of large datasets,offering scalability,high availability,and fault tolerance.However,optimizing data replication across multiple data centers poses a significant challenge,especially when balancing opposing goals such as latency,storage costs,energy consumption,and network efficiency.This study introduces a novel Dynamic Optimization Algorithm called Dynamic Multi-Objective Gannet Optimization(DMGO),designed to enhance data replication efficiency in cloud environments.Unlike traditional static replication systems,DMGO adapts dynamically to variations in network conditions,system demand,and resource availability.The approach utilizes multi-objective optimization approaches to efficiently balance data access latency,storage efficiency,and operational costs.DMGO consistently evaluates data center performance and adjusts replication algorithms in real time to guarantee optimal system efficiency.Experimental evaluations conducted in a simulated cloud environment demonstrate that DMGO significantly outperforms conventional static algorithms,achieving faster data access,lower storage overhead,reduced energy consumption,and improved scalability.The proposed methodology offers a robust and adaptable solution for modern cloud systems,ensuring efficient resource consumption while maintaining high performance.

文摘A non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA) power allocation scheme on the basis of the sparrow search algorithm(SSA) is proposed in this work. Specifically, the logarithmic utility function is utilized to address the potential fairness issue that may arise from the maximum sum-rate based objective function and the optical power constraints are set considering the non-negativity of the transmit signal, the requirement of the human eyes safety and all users' quality of service(Qo S). Then, the SSA is utilized to solve this optimization problem. Moreover, to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed strategy, it is compared with the fixed power allocation(FPA) and the gain ratio power allocation(GRPA) schemes. Results show that regardless of the number of users considered, the sum-rate achieved by SSA consistently outperforms that of FPA and GRPA schemes. Specifically, compared to FPA and GRPA schemes, the sum-rate obtained by SSA is increased by 40.45% and 53.44% when the number of users is 7, respectively. The proposed SSA also has better performance in terms of user fairness. This work will benefit the design and development of the NOMA-visible light communication(VLC) systems.

文摘The bat algorithm(BA)is a metaheuristic algorithm for global optimisation that simulates the echolocation behaviour of bats with varying pulse rates of emission and loudness,which can be used to find the globally optimal solutions for various optimisation problems.Knowing the recent criticises of the originality of equations,the principle of BA is concise and easy to implement,and its mathematical structure can be seen as a hybrid particle swarm with simulated annealing.In this research,the authors focus on the performance optimisation of BA as a solver rather than discussing its originality issues.In terms of operation effect,BA has an acceptable convergence speed.However,due to the low proportion of time used to explore the search space,it is easy to converge prematurely and fall into the local optima.The authors propose an adaptive multi-stage bat algorithm(AMSBA).By tuning the algorithm's focus at three different stages of the search process,AMSBA can achieve a better balance between exploration and exploitation and improve its exploration ability by enhancing its performance in escaping local optima as well as maintaining a certain convergence speed.Therefore,AMSBA can achieve solutions with better quality.A convergence analysis was conducted to demonstrate the global convergence of AMSBA.The authors also perform simulation experiments on 30 benchmark functions from IEEE CEC 2017 as the objective functions and compare AMSBA with some original and improved swarm-based algorithms.The results verify the effectiveness and superiority of AMSBA.AMSBA is also compared with eight representative optimisation algorithms on 10 benchmark functions derived from IEEE CEC 2020,while this experiment is carried out on five different dimensions of the objective functions respectively.A balance and diversity analysis was performed on AMSBA to demonstrate its improvement over the original BA in terms of balance.AMSBA was also applied to the multi-threshold image segmentation of Citrus Macular disease,which is a bacterial infection that causes lesions on citrus trees.The segmentation results were analysed by comparing each comparative algorithm's peak signal-to-noise ratio,structural similarity index and feature similarity index.The results show that the proposed BA-based algorithm has apparent advantages,and it can effectively segment the disease spots from citrus leaves when the segmentation threshold is at a low level.Based on a comprehensive study,the authors think the proposed optimiser has mitigated the main drawbacks of the BA,and it can be utilised as an effective optimisation tool.
文摘This study presents a novel hybrid topology optimization and mold design framework that integrates process fitting,runner system optimization,and structural analysis to significantly enhance the performance of injection-molded parts.At its core,the framework employs a greedy algorithm that generates runner systems based on adjacency and shortest path principles,leading to improvements in both mechanical strength and material efficiency.The design optimization is validated through a series of rigorous experimental tests,including three-point bending and torsion tests performed on key-socket frames,ensuring that the optimized designs meet practical performance requirements.A critical innovation of the framework is the development of the Adjacent Element Temperature-Driven Prestress Algorithm(AETDPA),which refines the prediction of mechanical failure and strength fitting.This algorithm has been shown to deliver mesh-independent accuracy,thereby enhancing the reliability of simulation results across various design iterations.The framework’s adaptability is further demonstrated by its ability to adjust optimization methods based on the unique geometry of each part,thus accelerating the overall design process while ensuring struc-tural integrity.In addition to its immediate applications in injection molding,the study explores the potential extension of this framework to metal additive manufacturing,opening new avenues for its use in advanced manufacturing technologies.Numerical simulations,including finite element analysis,support the experimental findings and confirm that the optimized designs provide a balanced combination of strength,durability,and efficiency.Furthermore,the integration challenges with existing injection molding practices are addressed,underscoring the framework’s scalability and industrial relevance.Overall,this hybrid topology optimization framework offers a computationally efficient and robust solution for advanced manufacturing applications,promising significant improvements in design efficiency,cost-effectiveness,and product performance.Future work will focus on further enhancing algorithm robustness and exploring additional applications across diverse manufacturing processes.
文摘Internet of things networks often suffer from early node failures and short lifespan due to energy limits.Traditional routing methods are not enough.This work proposes a new hybrid algorithm called ACOGA.It combines Ant Colony Optimization(ACO)and the Greedy Algorithm(GA).ACO finds smart paths while Greedy makes quick decisions.This improves energy use and performance.ACOGA outperforms Hybrid Energy-Efficient(HEE)and Adaptive Lossless Data Compression(ALDC)algorithms.After 500 rounds,only 5%of ACOGA’s nodes are dead,compared to 15%for HEE and 20%for ALDC.The network using ACOGA runs for 1200 rounds before the first nodes fail.HEE lasts 900 rounds and ALDC only 850.ACOGA saves at least 15%more energy by better distributing the load.It also achieves a 98%packet delivery rate.The method works well in mixed IoT networks like Smart Water Management Systems(SWMS).These systems have different power levels and communication ranges.The simulation of proposed model has been done in MATLAB simulator.The results show that that the proposed model outperform then the existing models.
文摘To address the shortcomings of traditional Genetic Algorithm (GA) in multi-agent path planning, such as prolonged planning time, slow convergence, and solution instability, this paper proposes an Asynchronous Genetic Algorithm (AGA) to solve multi-agent path planning problems effectively. To enhance the real-time performance and computational efficiency of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) in path planning, the AGA incorporates an Equal-Size Clustering Algorithm (ESCA) based on the K-means clustering method. The ESCA divides the primary task evenly into a series of subtasks, thereby reducing the gene length in the subsequent GA process. The algorithm then employs GA to solve each subtask sequentially. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, a simulation program was designed to perform path planning for 100 trajectories, and the results were compared with those of State-Of-The-Art (SOTA) methods. The simulation results demonstrate that, although the solutions provided by AGA are suboptimal, it exhibits significant advantages in terms of execution speed and solution stability compared to other algorithms.
