文摘Optimization problems are prevalent in various fields of science and engineering,with several real-world applications characterized by high dimensionality and complex search landscapes.Starfish optimization algorithm(SFOA)is a recently optimizer inspired by swarm intelligence,which is effective for numerical optimization,but it may encounter premature and local convergence for complex optimization problems.To address these challenges,this paper proposes the multi-strategy enhanced crested porcupine-starfish optimization algorithm(MCPSFOA).The core innovation of MCPSFOA lies in employing a hybrid strategy to improve SFOA,which integrates the exploratory mechanisms of SFOA with the diverse search capacity of the Crested Porcupine Optimizer(CPO).This synergy enhances MCPSFOA’s ability to navigate complex and multimodal search spaces.To further prevent premature convergence,MCPSFOA incorporates Lévy flight,leveraging its characteristic long and short jump patterns to enable large-scale exploration and escape from local optima.Subsequently,Gaussian mutation is applied for precise solution tuning,introducing controlled perturbations that enhance accuracy and mitigate the risk of insufficient exploitation.Notably,the population diversity enhancement mechanism periodically identifies and resets stagnant individuals,thereby consistently revitalizing population variety throughout the optimization process.MCPSFOA is rigorously evaluated on 24 classical benchmark functions(including high-dimensional cases),the CEC2017 suite,and the CEC2022 suite.MCPSFOA achieves superior overall performance with Friedman mean ranks of 2.208,2.310 and 2.417 on these benchmark functions,outperforming 11 state-of-the-art algorithms.Furthermore,the practical applicability of MCPSFOA is confirmed through its successful application to five engineering optimization cases,where it also yields excellent results.In conclusion,MCPSFOA is not only a highly effective and reliable optimizer for benchmark functions,but also a practical tool for solving real-world optimization problems.
文摘Optimizing convolutional neural networks(CNNs)for IoT attack detection remains a critical yet challenging task due to the need to balance multiple performance metrics beyond mere accuracy.This study proposes a unified and flexible optimization framework that leverages metaheuristic algorithms to automatically optimize CNN configurations for IoT attack detection.Unlike conventional single-objective approaches,the proposed method formulates a global multi-objective fitness function that integrates accuracy,precision,recall,and model size(speed/model complexity penalty)with adjustable weights.This design enables both single-objective and weightedsum multi-objective optimization,allowing adaptive selection of optimal CNN configurations for diverse deployment requirements.Two representativemetaheuristic algorithms,GeneticAlgorithm(GA)and Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO),are employed to optimize CNNhyperparameters and structure.At each generation/iteration,the best configuration is selected as themost balanced solution across optimization objectives,i.e.,the one achieving themaximum value of the global objective function.Experimental validation on two benchmark datasets,Edge-IIoT and CIC-IoT2023,demonstrates that the proposed GA-and PSO-based models significantly enhance detection accuracy(94.8%–98.3%)and generalization compared with manually tuned CNN configurations,while maintaining compact architectures.The results confirm that the multi-objective framework effectively balances predictive performance and computational efficiency.This work establishes a generalizable and adaptive optimization strategy for deep learning-based IoT attack detection and provides a foundation for future hybrid metaheuristic extensions in broader IoT security applications.
文摘Accurate prediction of concrete compressive strength is fundamental for optimizing mix designs,improving material utilization,and ensuring structural safety in modern construction.Traditional empirical methods often fail to capture the non-linear relationships among concrete constituents,especially with the growing use of supple-mentary cementitious materials and recycled aggregates.This study presents an integrated machine learning framework for concrete strength prediction,combining advanced regression models—namely CatBoost—with metaheuristic optimization algorithms,with a particular focus on the Somersaulting Spider Optimizer(SSO).A comprehensive dataset encompassing diverse mix proportions and material types was used to evaluate baseline machine learning models,including CatBoost,XGBoost,ExtraTrees,and RandomForest.Among these,CatBoost demonstrated superior accuracy across multiple performance metrics.To further enhance predictive capability,several bio-inspired optimizers were employed for hyperparameter tuning.The SSO-CatBoost hybrid achieved the lowest mean squared error and highest correlation coefficients,outperforming other metaheuristic approaches such as Genetic Algorithm,Particle Swarm Optimization,and Grey Wolf Optimizer.Statistical significance was established through Analysis of Variance and Wilcoxon signed-rank testing,confirming the robustness of the optimized models.The proposed methodology not only delivers improved predictive performance but also offers a transparent framework for mix design optimization,supporting data-driven decision making in sustainable and resilient infrastructure development.

文摘The cloud-fog computing paradigm has emerged as a novel hybrid computing model that integrates computational resources at both fog nodes and cloud servers to address the challenges posed by dynamic and heterogeneous computing networks.Finding an optimal computational resource for task offloading and then executing efficiently is a critical issue to achieve a trade-off between energy consumption and transmission delay.In this network,the task processed at fog nodes reduces transmission delay.Still,it increases energy consumption,while routing tasks to the cloud server saves energy at the cost of higher communication delay.Moreover,the order in which offloaded tasks are executed affects the system’s efficiency.For instance,executing lower-priority tasks before higher-priority jobs can disturb the reliability and stability of the system.Therefore,an efficient strategy of optimal computation offloading and task scheduling is required for operational efficacy.In this paper,we introduced a multi-objective and enhanced version of Cheeta Optimizer(CO),namely(MoECO),to jointly optimize the computation offloading and task scheduling in cloud-fog networks to minimize two competing objectives,i.e.,energy consumption and communication delay.MoECO first assigns tasks to the optimal computational nodes and then the allocated tasks are scheduled for processing based on the task priority.The mathematical modelling of CO needs improvement in computation time and convergence speed.Therefore,MoECO is proposed to increase the search capability of agents by controlling the search strategy based on a leader’s location.The adaptive step length operator is adjusted to diversify the solution and thus improves the exploration phase,i.e.,global search strategy.Consequently,this prevents the algorithm from getting trapped in the local optimal solution.Moreover,the interaction factor during the exploitation phase is also adjusted based on the location of the prey instead of the adjacent Cheetah.This increases the exploitation capability of agents,i.e.,local search capability.Furthermore,MoECO employs a multi-objective Pareto-optimal front to simultaneously minimize designated objectives.Comprehensive simulations in MATLAB demonstrate that the proposed algorithm obtains multiple solutions via a Pareto-optimal front and achieves an efficient trade-off between optimization objectives compared to baseline methods.
文摘Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs)have become foundational in numerous real-world applications,ranging from environmental monitoring and industrial automation to healthcare systems and smart city development.As these networks continue to grow in scale and complexity,the need for energy-efficient,scalable,and robust communication protocols becomes more critical than ever.Metaheuristic algorithms have shown significant promise in addressing these challenges,offering flexible and effective solutions for optimizing WSN performance.Among them,the Grey Wolf Optimizer(GWO)algorithm has attracted growing attention due to its simplicity,fast convergence,and strong global search capabilities.Accordingly,this survey provides an in-depth review of the applications of GWO and its variants for clustering,multi-hop routing,and hybrid cluster-based routing in WSNs.We categorize and analyze the existing GWO-based approaches across these key network optimization tasks,discussing the different problem formulations,decision variables,objective functions,and performance metrics used.In doing so,we examine standard GWO,multi-objective GWO,and hybrid GWO models that incorporate other computational intelligence techniques.Each method is evaluated based on how effectively it addresses the core constraints of WSNs,including energy consumption,communication overhead,and network lifetime.Finally,this survey outlines existing gaps in the literature and proposes potential future research directions aimed at enhancing the effectiveness and real-world applicability of GWO-based techniques for WSN clustering and routing.Our goal is to provide researchers and practitioners with a clear,structured understanding of the current state of GWO in WSNs and inspire further innovation in this evolving field.

文摘Deployable Composite Thin-Walled Structures(DCTWS)are widely used in space applications due to their ability to compactly fold and self-deploy in orbit,enabled by cutouts.Cutout design is crucial for balancing structural rigidity and flexibility,ensuring material integrity during large deformations,and providing adequate load-bearing capacity and stability once deployed.Most research has focused on optimizing cutout size and shape,while topology optimization offers a broader design space.However,the anisotropic properties of woven composite laminates,complex failure criteria,and multi-performance optimization needs have limited the exploration of topology optimization in this field.This work derives the sensitivities of bending stiffness,critical buckling load,and the failure index of woven composite materials with respect to element density,and formulates both single-objective and multi-objective topology optimization models using a linear weighted aggregation approach.The developed method was integrated with the commercial finite element software ABAQUS via a Python script,allowing efficient application to cutout design in various DCTWS configurations to maximize bending stiffness and critical buckling load under material failure constraints.Optimization of a classical tubular hinge resulted in improvements of 107.7%in bending stiffness and 420.5%in critical buckling load compared to level-set topology optimization results reported in the literature,validating the effectiveness of the approach.To facilitate future research and encourage the broader adoption of topology optimization techniques in DCTWS design,the source code for this work is made publicly available via a Git Hub link:https://github.com/jinhao-ok1/Topo-for-DCTWS.git.
文摘Optimization algorithms are crucial for solving NP-hard problems in engineering and computational sciences.Metaheuristic algorithms,in particular,have proven highly effective in complex optimization scenarios characterized by high dimensionality and intricate variable relationships.The Mountain Gazelle Optimizer(MGO)is notably effective but struggles to balance local search refinement and global space exploration,often leading to premature convergence and entrapment in local optima.This paper presents the Improved MGO(IMGO),which integrates three synergistic enhancements:dynamic chaos mapping using piecewise chaotic sequences to boost explo-ration diversity;Opposition-Based Learning(OBL)with adaptive,diversity-driven activation to speed up convergence;and structural refinements to the position update mechanisms to enhance exploitation.The IMGO underwent a comprehensive evaluation using 52 standardised benchmark functions and seven engineering optimization problems.Benchmark evaluations showed that IMGO achieved the highest rank in best solution quality for 31 functions,the highest rank in mean performance for 18 functions,and the highest rank in worst-case performance for 14 functions among 11 competing algorithms.Statistical validation using Wilcoxon signed-rank tests confirmed that IMGO outperformed individual competitors across 16 to 50 functions,depending on the algorithm.At the same time,Friedman ranking analysis placed IMGO with an average rank of 4.15,compared to the baseline MGO’s 4.38,establishing the best overall performance.The evaluation of engineering problems revealed consistent improvements,including an optimal cost of 1.6896 for the welded beam design vs.MGO’s 1.7249,a minimum cost of 5885.33 for the pressure vessel design vs.MGO’s 6300,and a minimum weight of 2964.52 kg for the speed reducer design vs.MGO’s 2990.00 kg.Ablation studies identified OBL as the strongest individual contributor,whereas complete integration achieved superior performance through synergistic interactions among components.Computational complexity analysis established an O(T×N×5×f(P))time complexity,representing a 1.25×increase in fitness evaluation relative to the baseline MGO,validating the favorable accuracy-efficiency trade-offs for practical optimization applications.
文摘Optimization is the key to obtaining efficient utilization of resources in structural design.Due to the complex nature of truss systems,this study presents a method based on metaheuristic modelling that minimises structural weight under stress and frequency constraints.Two new algorithms,the Red Kite Optimization Algorithm(ROA)and Secretary Bird Optimization Algorithm(SBOA),are utilized on five benchmark trusses with 10,18,37,72,and 200-bar trusses.Both algorithms are evaluated against benchmarks in the literature.The results indicate that SBOA always reaches a lighter optimal.Designs with reducing structural weight ranging from 0.02%to 0.15%compared to ROA,and up to 6%–8%as compared to conventional algorithms.In addition,SBOA can achieve 15%–20%faster convergence speed and 10%–18%reduction in computational time with a smaller standard deviation over independent runs,which demonstrates its robustness and reliability.It is indicated that the adaptive exploration mechanism of SBOA,especially its Levy flight–based search strategy,can obviously improve optimization performance for low-and high-dimensional trusses.The research has implications in the context of promoting bio-inspired optimization techniques by demonstrating the viability of SBOA,a reliable model for large-scale structural design that provides significant enhancements in performance and convergence behavior.

文摘Accurate parameter extraction of photovoltaic(PV)models plays a critical role in enabling precise performance prediction,optimal system sizing,and effective operational control under diverse environmental conditions.While a wide range of metaheuristic optimisation techniques have been applied to this problem,many existing methods are hindered by slow convergence rates,susceptibility to premature stagnation,and reduced accuracy when applied to complex multi-diode PV configurations.These limitations can lead to suboptimal modelling,reducing the efficiency of PV system design and operation.In this work,we propose an enhanced hybrid optimisation approach,the modified Spider Wasp Optimization(mSWO)with Opposition-Based Learning algorithm,which integrates the exploration and exploitation capabilities of the Spider Wasp Optimization(SWO)metaheuristic with the diversityenhancing mechanism of Opposition-Based Learning(OBL).The hybridisation is designed to dynamically expand the search space coverage,avoid premature convergence,and improve both convergence speed and precision in highdimensional optimisation tasks.The mSWO algorithm is applied to three well-established PV configurations:the single diode model(SDM),the double diode model(DDM),and the triple diode model(TDM).Real experimental current-voltage(I-V)datasets from a commercial PV module under standard test conditions(STC)are used for evaluation.Comparative analysis is conducted against eighteen advanced metaheuristic algorithms,including BSDE,RLGBO,GWOCS,MFO,EO,TSA,and SCA.Performance metrics include minimum,mean,and maximum root mean square error(RMSE),standard deviation(SD),and convergence behaviour over 30 independent runs.The results reveal that mSWO consistently delivers superior accuracy and robustness across all PV models,achieving the lowest RMSE values of 0.000986022(SDM),0.000982884(DDM),and 0.000982529(TDM),with minimal SD values,indicating remarkable repeatability.Convergence analyses further show that mSWO reaches optimal solutions more rapidly and with fewer oscillations than all competing methods,with the performance gap widening as model complexity increases.These findings demonstrate that mSWO provides a scalable,computationally efficient,and highly reliable framework for PV parameter extraction.Its adaptability to models of growing complexity suggests strong potential for broader applications in renewable energy systems,including performance monitoring,fault detection,and intelligent control,thereby contributing to the optimisation of next-generation solar energy solutions.
文摘The goal of the present work is to demonstrate the potential of Artificial Neural Network(ANN)-driven Genetic Algorithm(GA)methods for energy efficiency and economic performance optimization of energy efficiency measures in a multi-family house building in Greece.The energy efficiency measures include different heating/cooling systems(such as low-temperature and high-temperature heat pumps,natural gas boilers,split units),building envelope components for floor,walls,roof and windows of variable heat transfer coefficients,the installation of solar thermal collectors and PVs.The calculations of the building loads and investment and operating and maintenance costs of the measures are based on the methodology defined in Directive 2010/31/EU,while economic assumptions are based on EN 15459-1 standard.Typically,multi-objective optimization of energy efficiency measures often requires the simulation of very large numbers of cases involving numerous possible combinations,resulting in intense computational load.The results of the study indicate that ANN-driven GA methods can be used as an alternative,valuable tool for reliably predicting the optimal measures which minimize primary energy consumption and life cycle cost of the building with greatly reduced computational requirements.Through GA methods,the computational time needed for obtaining the optimal solutions is reduced by 96.4%-96.8%.
文摘Multi-label feature selection(MFS)is a crucial dimensionality reduction technique aimed at identifying informative features associated with multiple labels.However,traditional centralized methods face significant challenges in privacy-sensitive and distributed settings,often neglecting label dependencies and suffering from low computational efficiency.To address these issues,we introduce a novel framework,Fed-MFSDHBCPSO—federated MFS via dual-layer hybrid breeding cooperative particle swarm optimization algorithm with manifold and sparsity regularization(DHBCPSO-MSR).Leveraging the federated learning paradigm,Fed-MFSDHBCPSO allows clients to perform local feature selection(FS)using DHBCPSO-MSR.Locally selected feature subsets are encrypted with differential privacy(DP)and transmitted to a central server,where they are securely aggregated and refined through secure multi-party computation(SMPC)until global convergence is achieved.Within each client,DHBCPSO-MSR employs a dual-layer FS strategy.The inner layer constructs sample and label similarity graphs,generates Laplacian matrices to capture the manifold structure between samples and labels,and applies L2,1-norm regularization to sparsify the feature subset,yielding an optimized feature weight matrix.The outer layer uses a hybrid breeding cooperative particle swarm optimization algorithm to further refine the feature weight matrix and identify the optimal feature subset.The updated weight matrix is then fed back to the inner layer for further optimization.Comprehensive experiments on multiple real-world multi-label datasets demonstrate that Fed-MFSDHBCPSO consistently outperforms both centralized and federated baseline methods across several key evaluation metrics.

文摘Refractory metals,including tungsten(W),tantalum(Ta),molybdenum(Mo),and niobium(Nb),play a vital role in industries,such as nuclear energy and aerospace,owing to their exceptional melting temperatures,thermal durability,and corrosion resistance.These metals have body-centered cubic crystal structure,characterized by limited slip systems and impeded dislocation motion,resulting in significant low-temperature brittleness,which poses challenges for the conventional processing.Additive manufacturing technique provides an innovative approach,enabling the production of intricate parts without molds,which significantly improves the efficiency of material usage.This review provides a comprehensive overview of the advancements in additive manufacturing techniques for the production of refractory metals,such as W,Ta,Mo,and Nb,particularly the laser powder bed fusion.In this review,the influence mechanisms of key process parameters(laser power,scan strategy,and powder characteristics)on the evolution of material microstructure,the formation of metallurgical defects,and mechanical properties were discussed.Generally,optimizing powder characteristics,such as sphericity,implementing substrate preheating,and formulating alloying strategies can significantly improve the densification and crack resistance of manufactured parts.Meanwhile,strictly controlling the oxygen impurity content and optimizing the energy density input are also the key factors to achieve the simultaneous improvement in strength and ductility of refractory metals.Although additive manufacturing technique provides an innovative solution for processing refractory metals,critical issues,such as residual stress control,microstructure and performance anisotropy,and process stability,still need to be addressed.This review not only provides a theoretical basis for the additive manufacturing of high-performance refractory metals,but also proposes forward-looking directions for their industrial application.
文摘Aiming to solve the steering instability and hysteresis of agricultural robots in the process of movement,a fusion PID control method of particle swarm optimization(PSO)and genetic algorithm(GA)was proposed.The fusion algorithm took advantage of the fast optimization ability of PSO to optimize the population screening link of GA.The Simulink simulation results showed that the convergence of the fitness function of the fusion algorithm was accelerated,the system response adjustment time was reduced,and the overshoot was almost zero.Then the algorithm was applied to the steering test of agricultural robot in various scenes.After modeling the steering system of agricultural robot,the steering test results in the unloaded suspended state showed that the PID control based on fusion algorithm reduced the rise time,response adjustment time and overshoot of the system,and improved the response speed and stability of the system,compared with the artificial trial and error PID control and the PID control based on GA.The actual road steering test results showed that the PID control response rise time based on the fusion algorithm was the shortest,about 4.43 s.When the target pulse number was set to 100,the actual mean value in the steady-state regulation stage was about 102.9,which was the closest to the target value among the three control methods,and the overshoot was reduced at the same time.The steering test results under various scene states showed that the PID control based on the proposed fusion algorithm had good anti-interference ability,it can adapt to the changes of environment and load and improve the performance of the control system.It was effective in the steering control of agricultural robot.This method can provide a reference for the precise steering control of other robots.

文摘ThePigeon-InspiredOptimization(PIO)algorithmconstitutes ametaheuristic method derived fromthe homing behaviour of pigeons.Initially formulated for three-dimensional path planning in unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs),the algorithmhas attracted considerable academic and industrial interest owing to its effective balance between exploration and exploitation,coupled with advantages in real-time performance and robustness.Nevertheless,as applications have diversified,limitations in convergence precision and a tendency toward premature convergence have become increasingly evident,highlighting a need for improvement.This reviewsystematically outlines the developmental trajectory of the PIO algorithm,with a particular focus on its core applications in UAV navigation,multi-objective formulations,and a spectrum of variantmodels that have emerged in recent years.It offers a structured analysis of the foundational principles underlying the PIO.It conducts a comparative assessment of various performance-enhanced versions,including hybrid models that integrate mechanisms from other optimization paradigms.Additionally,the strengths andweaknesses of distinct PIOvariants are critically examined frommultiple perspectives,including intrinsic algorithmic characteristics,suitability for specific application scenarios,objective function design,and the rigor of the statistical evaluation methodologies employed in empirical studies.Finally,this paper identifies principal challenges within current PIO research and proposes several prospective research directions.Future work should focus on mitigating premature convergence by refining the two-phase search structure and adjusting the exponential decrease of individual numbers during the landmark operator.Enhancing parameter adaptation strategies,potentially using reinforcement learning for dynamic tuning,and advancing theoretical analyses on convergence and complexity are also critical.Further applications should be explored in constrained path planning,Neural Architecture Search(NAS),and other real-worldmulti-objective problems.For Multi-objective PIO(MPIO),key improvements include controlling the growth of the external archive and designing more effective selection mechanisms to maintain convergence efficiency.These efforts are expected to strengthen both the theoretical foundation and practical versatility of PIO and its variants.

文摘In recent years,three-dimensional reconstruction technologies that employ multiple cameras have continued to evolve significantly,enabling remote collaboration among users in extended Reality(XR)environments.In addition,methods for deploying multiple cameras for motion capture of users(e.g.,performers)are widely used in computer graphics.As the need to minimize and optimize the number of cameras grows to reduce costs,various technologies and research approaches focused on Optimal Camera Placement(OCP)are continually being proposed.However,as most existing studies assume homogeneous camera setups,there is a growing demand for studies on heterogeneous camera setups.For instance,technical demands keep emerging in scenarios with minimal camera configurations,especially regarding cost factors,the physical placement of cameras given the spatial structure,and image capture strategies for heterogeneous cameras,such as high-resolution RGB cameras and depth cameras.In this study,we propose a pre-visualization and simulation method for the optimal placement of heterogeneous cameras in XR environments,accounting for both the specifications of heterogeneous cameras(e.g.,field of view)and the physical configuration(e.g.,wall configuration)in real-world spaces.The proposed method performs a visibility analysis of cameras by considering each camera’s field-of-view volume,resolution,and unique characteristics,along with physicalspace constraints.This approach enables the optimal position and rotation of each camera to be recommended,along with the minimum number of cameras required.In the results of our study conducted in heterogeneous camera combinations,the proposed method achieved 81.7%~82.7%coverage of the target visual information using only 2~3 cameras.In contrast,single(or homogeneous)-typed cameras were required to use 11 cameras for 81.6%coverage.Accordingly,we found that camera deployment resources can be reduced with the proposed approaches.

文摘Although the thin and cold Martian atmosphere provides the feasibility of rotorcraft flight on Mars,rotors designed for denser Earth atmosphere with small angles of attack hardly generate enough thrust for rotorcraft flight at conventional rotational speeds in the Martian atmosphere.In this paper,we employ the Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)algorithm to search for the control points of the Bezier curve,completing the parameterization of the airfoil upper and lower curves based on these control points.In order to directly enhance the lift-to-drag ratio of the airfoil at high angles of attack,the NSGA-II algorithm is utilized to optimize the lift-to-drag ratio of NACA 6904 at a=17.5°,Ma=0.43,Re=7600,and CLF 5605 at a=15°,Ma=0.7,Re=7481,respectively.The two-dimensional RANS(Reynolds Average NavierStokes)and k-ωSST turbulence models are employed in the optimization process by CFD to predict the lift and drag characteristics of the airfoil in a Martian environment.Under simulated Mars atmospheric conditions(pressure of 1380 Pa,test temperature of 24°C,equivalent Mars atmospheric density at the surface of 0.0162 g/cm~3),the airfoil after optimized is subjected to rotor lift-drag characteristic tests where a single-rotor lift-drag characteristic test bench is employed for verification.The experimental results demonstrate that the RB-TB-II blade,which is obtained by optimizing the airfoil based on the RB-SWQ-I blade,exhibits a 19.6%increase in Power Loading(PL)and a 20.4%increase in Figure of Merit(FM)compared with the RB-SWQ-I blade.Based on the results of airfoil optimization,increasing the camber at the leading edge of the airfoil under high angles of attack contributes to an improved lift-to-drag ratio.
