Hence, the energy efficiency of the infrastructure greatly affects the network lifetime. Clustering is one of the methods that can expand the lifespan of the whole network by grouping the sensor nodes according to some criteria and choosing the appropriate cluster heads(CHs). The balanced load of the CHs has an important effect on the energy consumption balancing and lifespan of the whole network. Therefore, a new CHs election method is proposed using an adaptive discrete particle swarm optimization (ADPSO) algorithm with a fitness value function considering the load balancing and energy consumption. Simulation results not only demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can have better performance in load balancing than low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH), hybrid energy-efficient distributed clustering (HEED), and dynamic clustering algorithm with balanced load (DCBL), but also imply that the proposed algorithm can extend the network lifetime more.展开更多

Military service providers（MSP） cooperate together to provide military resources for military service users（MSU）. A group of atom services, each of which has its level of quality of service（QoS）, can be combined together into a certain structure to form a composite service. Since there are a large number of atom services having the same function, the atom service is selected to participate in the composite service so as to fulfill users＇ will. In this paper a method based on discrete particle swarm optimization（DPSO） is proposed to tackle this problem. The method aims at selecting atom services from service repositories to constitute the composite service, satisfying the MSU＇s requirement on QoS. Since the QoS criteria include location-aware criteria and location-independent criteria, this method aims to get the composite service with the highest location-aware criteria and the best-match location-independent criteria. Simulations show that the DPSO has a better performance compared with the standard particle swarm optimization（PSO） and genetic algorithm（GA）.展开更多

The operation of RFID systems often involves a situation in which multiple readers physically located near one another may interfere with one another＇s operation. Such reader collision must be minimized to avoid the faulty or miss reads. Specifically, scheduling the colliding RFID readers to reduce the total system transaction time or response time is the challenging problem for large-scale RFID network deployment. Therefore, the aim of this work is to use a successful multi-swarm cooperative optimizer called pseo to minimize both the reader-to-reader interference and total system transaction time in RFID reader networks. The main idea of pS20 is to extend the single population PSO to the interacting multi-swarm model by constructing hierarchical interaction topology and enhanced dynamical update equations. As the RFID network scheduling model formulated in this work is a discrete problem, a binary version of PS20 algorithm is proposed. With seven discrete benchmark functions, PS20 is proved to have significantly better performance than the original PSO and a binary genetic algorithm, pS20 is then used for solving the real-world RFID network scheduling problem. Numerical results for four test cases with different scales, ranging from 30 to 200 readers, demonstrate the performance of the proposed methodology.展开更多

First, the strategy of choosing intuitionistic fuzzy parameters of particle swarm is defined, making intuitionistic fuzzy entropy as a basic parameter for measure and velocity mutation. Second, through analyzing the defects of DPSO, an adjusting parameter for balancing two cognition, velocity mutation mechanism and position mutation strategy are designed, and then two sets of improved and derivative algorithms for IFDPSO are put forward, which ensures the IFDPSO possibly search as much as possible sub-optimal positions and its neighborhood and the algorithm ability of searching global optimal value in solving large scale 0-1 knapsack problem is intensified. Third, focusing on the problem of WTA, some parameters including dynamic parameter for shifting firepower and constraints are designed to solve the problems of weapon target assignment. In addition, WTA Optimization Model with time and resource constraints is finally set up, which also intensifies the algorithm ability of searching global and local best value in the solution of WTA problem. Finally, the superiority of IFDPSO is proved by several simulation experiments. Particularly, IFDPSO, IFDPSO1~IFDPSO3 are respectively effective in solving large scale, medium scale or strict constraint problems such as 0-1 knapsack problem and WTA problem.展开更多

Numerical simulations and analyses are performed on a volume to point conduction problem based on the principle of minimum entropy generation. In the optimization, the arrangement of high thermal conductivity materials is variable, the quantity of high thermal-conductivity material is constrained, and the objective is to obtain the maximum heat conduction rate as the entropy is the minimum.A novel algorithm of thermal conductivity discretization is proposed based on large quantity of calculations.Compared with other algorithms in literature, the average temperature in the substrate by the new algorithm is lower, while the highest temperature in the substrate is in a reasonable range. Thus the new algorithm is feasible. The optimization of volume to point heat conduction is carried out in a rectangular model with radiation boundary condition and constant surface temperature boundary condition. The results demonstrate that the algorithm of thermal conductivity discretization is applicable for volume to point heat conduction problems.展开更多

While PSO is simple and effective, it is originally defined in continuous space. In order to take advantage of PSO to solve combinatorial optimization problems in discrete space, the set-based PSO （S-PSO） framework extends PSO for discrete optimization by redefining the operations in PSO utilizing the set operations. Since its proposal, S-PSO has attracted increasing research attention and has become a promising approach for discrete optimization problems. In this paper, we intend to provide a comprehensive survey on the concepts, development and applications of S-PSO. First, the classification of discrete PSO algorithms is presented. Then the S-PSO framework is given. In particular, we will give an insight into the solution construction strategies, constraint handling strategies, and alternative reinforcement strategies in S-PSO together with its different variants. Furthermore, the extensions and applications of S-PSO are also discussed systemically. Some potential directions for the research of S-PSO are also discussed in this paper.展开更多

文摘Continuumtopology optimization considering the vibration response is of great value in the engineering structure design.The aimof this studyis toaddress the topological designoptimizationof harmonic excitationstructureswith minimumlength scale control to facilitate structuralmanufacturing.Astructural topology design based on discrete variables is proposed to avoid localized vibration modes,gray regions and fuzzy boundaries in harmonic excitation topology optimization.The topological design model and sensitivity formulation are derived.The requirement of minimum size control is transformed into a geometric constraint using the discrete variables.Consequently,thin bars,small holes,and sharp corners,which are not conducive to the manufacturing process,can be eliminated from the design results.The present optimization design can efficiently achieve a 0–1 topology configuration with a significantly improved resonance frequency in a wide range of excitation frequencies.Additionally,the optimal solution for harmonic excitation topology optimization is not necessarily symmetric when the load and support are symmetric,which is a distinct difference fromthe static optimization design.Hence,one-half of the design domain cannot be selected according to the load and support symmetry.Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the discrete variable design for excitation frequency topology optimization,and to improve the design manufacturability.

文摘Due to the effectiveness, simple deployment and low cost, radio frequency identification （RFID） systems are used in a variety of applications to uniquely identify physical objects. The operation of RFID systems often involves a situation in which multiple readers physically located near one another may interfere with one another＇s operation. Such reader collision must be minimized to avoid the faulty or miss reads. Specifically, scheduling the colliding RFID readers to reduce the total system transaction time or response time is the challenging problem for large-scale RFID network deployment. Therefore, the aim of this work is to use a successful multi-swarm cooperative optimizer called pseo to minimize both the reader-to-reader interference and total system transaction time in RFID reader networks. The main idea of pS20 is to extend the single population PSO to the interacting multi-swarm model by constructing hierarchical interaction topology and enhanced dynamical update equations. As the RFID network scheduling model formulated in this work is a discrete problem, a binary version of PS20 algorithm is proposed. With seven discrete benchmark functions, PS20 is proved to have significantly better performance than the original PSO and a binary genetic algorithm, pS20 is then used for solving the real-world RFID network scheduling problem. Numerical results for four test cases with different scales, ranging from 30 to 200 readers, demonstrate the performance of the proposed methodology.

文摘Aiming at the problems of convergence-slow and convergence-free of Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm(DPSO) in solving large scale or complicated discrete problem, this article proposes Intuitionistic Fuzzy Entropy of Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization(IFDPSO) and makes it applied to Dynamic Weapon Target Assignment(WTA). First, the strategy of choosing intuitionistic fuzzy parameters of particle swarm is defined, making intuitionistic fuzzy entropy as a basic parameter for measure and velocity mutation. Second, through analyzing the defects of DPSO, an adjusting parameter for balancing two cognition, velocity mutation mechanism and position mutation strategy are designed, and then two sets of improved and derivative algorithms for IFDPSO are put forward, which ensures the IFDPSO possibly search as much as possible sub-optimal positions and its neighborhood and the algorithm ability of searching global optimal value in solving large scale 0-1 knapsack problem is intensified. Third, focusing on the problem of WTA, some parameters including dynamic parameter for shifting firepower and constraints are designed to solve the problems of weapon target assignment. In addition, WTA Optimization Model with time and resource constraints is finally set up, which also intensifies the algorithm ability of searching global and local best value in the solution of WTA problem. Finally, the superiority of IFDPSO is proved by several simulation experiments. Particularly, IFDPSO, IFDPSO1~IFDPSO3 are respectively effective in solving large scale, medium scale or strict constraint problems such as 0-1 knapsack problem and WTA problem.

文摘The conventional hospital environment is transformed into digital transformation that focuses on patient centric remote approach through advanced technologies.Early diagnosis of many diseases will improve the patient life.The cost of health care systems is reduced due to the use of advanced technologies such as Internet of Things(IoT),Wireless Sensor Networks(WSN),Embedded systems,Deep learning approaches and Optimization and aggregation methods.The data generated through these technologies will demand the bandwidth,data rate,latency of the network.In this proposed work,efficient discrete grey wolf optimization(DGWO)based data aggregation scheme using Elliptic curve Elgamal with Message Authentication code(ECEMAC)has been used to aggregate the parameters generated from the wearable sensor devices of the patient.The nodes that are far away from edge node will forward the data to its neighbor cluster head using DGWO.Aggregation scheme will reduce the number of transmissions over the network.The aggregated data are preprocessed at edge node to remove the noise for better diagnosis.Edge node will reduce the overhead of cloud server.The aggregated data are forward to cloud server for central storage and diagnosis.This proposed smart diagnosis will reduce the transmission cost through aggrega-tion scheme which will reduce the energy of the system.Energy cost for proposed system for 300 nodes is 0.34μJ.Various energy cost of existing approaches such as secure privacy preserving data aggregation scheme(SPPDA),concealed data aggregation scheme for multiple application(CDAMA)and secure aggregation scheme(ASAS)are 1.3μJ,0.81μJ and 0.51μJ respectively.The optimization approaches and encryption method will ensure the data privacy.

文摘A conduction heat transfer process is enhanced by filling prescribed quantity and optimized-shaped high thermal conductivity materials to the substrate. Numerical simulations and analyses are performed on a volume to point conduction problem based on the principle of minimum entropy generation. In the optimization, the arrangement of high thermal conductivity materials is variable, the quantity of high thermal-conductivity material is constrained, and the objective is to obtain the maximum heat conduction rate as the entropy is the minimum.A novel algorithm of thermal conductivity discretization is proposed based on large quantity of calculations.Compared with other algorithms in literature, the average temperature in the substrate by the new algorithm is lower, while the highest temperature in the substrate is in a reasonable range. Thus the new algorithm is feasible. The optimization of volume to point heat conduction is carried out in a rectangular model with radiation boundary condition and constant surface temperature boundary condition. The results demonstrate that the algorithm of thermal conductivity discretization is applicable for volume to point heat conduction problems.

文摘The distributed permutation flowshop scheduling problem(DPFSP)has received increasing attention in recent years,which always assumes that the machine can process without restrictions.However,in practical production,machine preventive maintenance is required to prevent machine breakdowns.Therefore,this paper studies the DPFSP with preventive maintenance(PM/DPFSP)aiming at minimizing the total flowtime.For solving the problem,a discrete gray wolf optimization algorithm with restart mechanism(DGWO_RM)is proposed.In the initialization phase,a heuristic algorithm that takes into consideration preventive maintenance and idle time is employed to elevate the quality of the initial solution.Next,four local search strategies are proposed for further enhancing the exploitation capability.Furthermore,a restart mechanism is integrated into algorithm to avert the risk of converging prematurely to a suboptimal solution,thereby ensuring a broader exploration of potential solutions.Finally,comprehensive experiments studies are carried out to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy and to verify the performance of DGWO_RM.The obtained results show that the proposed DGWO_RM significantly outperforms the four state-of-the-art algorithms in solving PM/DPFSP.

文摘Particle swarm optimization （PSO） is one of the most popular population-based stochastic algorithms for solving complex optimization problems. While PSO is simple and effective, it is originally defined in continuous space. In order to take advantage of PSO to solve combinatorial optimization problems in discrete space, the set-based PSO （S-PSO） framework extends PSO for discrete optimization by redefining the operations in PSO utilizing the set operations. Since its proposal, S-PSO has attracted increasing research attention and has become a promising approach for discrete optimization problems. In this paper, we intend to provide a comprehensive survey on the concepts, development and applications of S-PSO. First, the classification of discrete PSO algorithms is presented. Then the S-PSO framework is given. In particular, we will give an insight into the solution construction strategies, constraint handling strategies, and alternative reinforcement strategies in S-PSO together with its different variants. Furthermore, the extensions and applications of S-PSO are also discussed systemically. Some potential directions for the research of S-PSO are also discussed in this paper.

文摘Given a connected undirected graph G whose edges are labeled,the minimumlabeling spanning tree(MLST)problemis to find a spanning tree of G with the smallest number of different labels.TheMLST is anNP-hard combinatorial optimization problem,which is widely applied in communication networks,multimodal transportation networks,and data compression.Some approximation algorithms and heuristics algorithms have been proposed for the problem.Firefly algorithm is a new meta-heuristic algorithm.Because of its simplicity and easy implementation,it has been successfully applied in various fields.However,the basic firefly algorithm is not suitable for discrete problems.To this end,a novel discrete firefly algorithm for the MLST problem is proposed in this paper.A binary operation method to update firefly positions and a local feasible handling method are introduced,which correct unfeasible solutions,eliminate redundant labels,and make the algorithm more suitable for discrete problems.Computational results show that the algorithm has good performance.The algorithm can be extended to solve other discrete optimization problems.
