By using multiple paths which can be repaired by themselves to transmit packets alternately, the network's load is balanced, the link state in the network can be checked in time, the number of the times the route discovery mechanism starts is decreased. If only one route which will be broken can be used to transmit the packets, the route discovery mechanism is restarted.The algorithm is implemented on the basis of dynamic source routing (DSR). The effect of MSSRR on lifetime of the access from the source to the destination and the overhead is discussed. Compared with the performance of DSR,it can be seen that the algorithm can improve the performance of the network obviously and the overhead almost does not increase if the average hop count is larger.展开更多

The availability of the system and the corresponding designing cost are considered as two optimization objectives. A crisp multiobjective optimization formulation is presented on the basis of uncertainty theory to solve this resultant problem. For solving this problem efficiently, a new multiobjective artificial bee colony algorithm is proposed to search the Pareto efficient set, which introduces rank value and crowding distance in the greedy selection strategy, applies fast non-dominated sort procedure in the exploitation search and inserts tournament selection in the onlooker bee phase. It shows that the proposed algorithm outperforms NSGA-II greatly and can solve multiobjective redundancy allocation problem efficiently. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate this approach.展开更多

This paper simplifies the algorithm of searching for the even alternating path that contains a maximal element using the minimal weighted k-matching theorem and intercept graph. A program for solving the maximal efficiency assignment problem was compiled. As a case study, the program was used to solve the assignment problem of water piping repair in the case of a large number of companies and broken pipes, and the validity of the program was verified.展开更多

The cost and reliability are taken as objective function and constraint condition respectively. The parameters of components lifetime distribution are given as decision variables, and the component lifetimes are assumed to follow that Weibull distribution. The allocation is separated into two steps to reduce calculated amount of one allocation. Genetic algorithm and Monte Carlo method are applied to solve distribution parameters and system cost separately.展开更多

Circuit faults will inevitably lead to serious losses of availability or impeded mission success without self-repair over the mission duration. Traditional fault-repair methods based on redundant fault-tolerant technique are straightforward to implement, yet their area, power and weight cost can be excessive. Moreover they utilize all plug-in or component level circuits to realize redundant backup, such that their applicability is limited. Hence, a novel selfrepair technology based on evolvable hardware（EHW） and reparation balance technology（RBT） is proposed. Its cost is low, and fault self-repair of various circuits and devices can be realized through dynamic configuration. Making full use of the fault signals, correcting circuit can be found through EHW technique to realize the balance and compensation of the fault output-signals. In this paper, the self-repair model was analyzed which based on EHW and RBT technique, the specific self-repair strategy was studied, the corresponding self-repair circuit fault system was designed, and the typical faults were simulated and analyzed which combined with the actual electronic devices. Simulation results demonstrated that the proposed fault self-repair strategy was feasible. Compared to traditional techniques, fault self-repair based on EHW consumes fewer hardware resources, and the scope of fault self-repair was expanded significantly.展开更多

With the hybrid approach, genetic algorithms are used to perform global exploration in a population, while neighborhood search methods are used to perform local exploitation around the chromosomes. The experimental results indicate that hybrid genetic algorithms can obtain solutions of excellent quality to the problem instances with different sizes. The pure genetic algorithms are outperformed by the neighborhood search heuristics procedures combined with genetic algorithms.展开更多
