An orthogonal genetic algorithm is developed for solving the binary linear implicit programming problem based on the orthogonal design. The orthogonal design with the factor analysis, an experimental design method is applied to the genetic algorithm to make the algorithm more robust, statistical y sound and quickly convergent. A crossover operator formed by the orthogonal array and the factor analysis is presented. First, this crossover operator can generate a smal but representative sample of points as offspring. After al of the better genes of these offspring are selected, a best combination among these offspring is then generated. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.展开更多

Virtual network embedding(VNE) is a key issue in network virtualization. VNE is NP-hard and former VNE algorithms are mostly heuristic in the literature.VNE exact algorithms have been developed in recent years. However, the constraints of exact VNE are only node capacity and link bandwidth.Based on these, this paper presents an exact VNE algorithm, ILP-LC, which is based on Integer Linear Programming(ILP), for embedding virtual network request with location constraints. This novel algorithm is aiming at mapping virtual network request(VNR) successfully as many as possible and consuming less substrate resources.The topology of each VNR is randomly generated by Waxman model. Simulation results show that the proposed ILP-LC algorithm outperforms the typical heuristic algorithms in terms of the VNR acceptance ratio, at least 15%.展开更多

Our heuristic tackles large multi-objective energy allocation problem （large number of appliances and high time resolution）. The primary goal is to reduce the electricity bills, and discomfort factor. Also, increase the utilization of domestic renewable energy, and reduce the running time of the optimization algorithm. Our heuristic algorithm uses linear programming relaxation, and two rounding strategies. The first technique, called CR （cumulative rounding）, is designed for thermostatic appliances such as air conditioners and electric heaters, and the second approach, called MCR （minimum cost rounding）, is designed for other interruptible appliances. The results show that the proposed heuristic algorithm can be used to solve large MILP （mixed integer linear programming） problems and gives a decent suboptimal solution in polynomial time.展开更多
