The QMRGA, a multicast routing policy for Internet, mobile network or other highperformance networks is mainly presented, which is based on the genetic algorithm(GA), and can provide QoSsensitive paths in a scalable and flexible way in the network environment with uncertain parameters. The QMRGA can also optimize the network resources such as bandwidth and delay, and can converge to the optimal or nearoptimal solution within few iterations, even for the network environment with uncertain parameters. The incremental rate of computational cost can be close to a polynomial and is less than exponential rate. The performance measures of the QMRGA are evaluated by using simulations. The results show that QMRGA provides an available approach to QoS multicast routing in network environment with uncertain parameters.展开更多

This paper proposes a ...Data transmission among multicast trees is an efficient routing method in mobile ad hoc networks(MANETs). Genetic algorithms(GAs) have found widespread applications in designing multicast trees. This paper proposes a stable quality-of-service(QoS) multicast model for MANETs. The new model ensures the duration time of a link in a multicast tree is always longer than the delay time from the source node. A novel GA is designed to solve our QoS multicast model by introducing a new crossover mechanism called leaf crossover(LC), which outperforms the existing crossover mechanisms in requiring neither global network link information, additional encoding/decoding nor repair procedures. Experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed model and the efficiency of the involved GA. Specifically, the simulation study indicates that our algorithm can obtain a better QoS route with a considerable reduction of execution time as compared with existing GAs.展开更多

The coding pattern based on the number of routing paths is used. A fitness function that is computed easily and makes algorithm quickly convergent is proposed. A new approach that defines the HGA's parameters is provided. The simulation shows that the approach can increase largely the convergent ratio, and the fitting values of the parameters of this algorithm are different from that of the original algorithms. The optimal mutation probability of HGA equals 0.50 in HGA in the experiment, but that equals 0.07 in SGA. It has been concluded that the population size has a significant influence on the HGA's convergent ratio when it's mutation probability is bigger. The algorithm with a small population size has a high average convergent rate. The population size has little influence on HGA with the lower mutation probability.展开更多

A method of multicast routing is proposed to simultaneously optimize several parameters based on multiobjective genetic algorithm, after the related work is reviewed. The contribution lies on that the selection process of such routing is treated with multiobjective optimization. Different quality criterions in IP network are taken into account for multicast communications. A set of routing trees is generated to approximate the Pareto front of multicast problem. Multiple trees can be selected from the final set of nondominated solutions, and applied to obtain a good overall link cost and balance traffic distribution according to some simulation results.展开更多

The TEA uses a novel link-duplicate-degree encoding, which can encode a multicast path in the link-duplicate-degree and decode the path as a link vector easily. A dynamic algorithm for adding nodes to or removing nodes from a multicast group and a repairing algorithm are also covered in this paper. As the TEA is based on global evaluation, the quality of the multicast path remains stabilized without degradation when multicast members change over time. Therefore, it is not necessary to rearrange the multicast path during the life cycle of the multicast sessions. Simulation results show that the TEA is efficient and convergent.展开更多

It is difficult to get satisfying results by using conventional linear sta- tistical methods. Recursive feature elimination based on support vector machine (SVM RFE) is an effective algorithm for gene selection and cancer classification, which are integrated into a consistent framework. In this paper, we propose a new method to select parameters of the aforementioned algorithm implemented with Gaussian kernel SVMs as better alternatives to the common practice of selecting the apparently best parameters by using a genetic algorithm to search for a couple of optimal parameter. Fast implementation issues for this method are also discussed for pragmatic reasons. The proposed method was tested on two repre- sentative hereditary breast cancer and acute leukaemia datasets. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method per- forms well in selecting genes and achieves high classification accuracies with these genes.展开更多

It works on a population of individuals, not just one single solution. As a result, it avoids converging to the local optimum. However, it takes too much CPU time in the late process of GA. On the other hand, in the late process Simulated Annealing (SA) converges faster than GA but it is easily trapped to local optimum. In this letter, a useful method that unifies GA and SA is introduced, which utilizes the advantage of the global search ability of GA and fast convergence of SA. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms GA in terms of CPU time without degradation of performance. It also achieves highly comparable placement cost compared to the state-of-the-art results obtained by Versatile Place and Route (VPR) Tool.展开更多

In this work, a new approach for auto-design of artificial neural networks （ANN） based on a genetic algorithm （GA） is developed for predicting VGO saturates. The number of neurons in the hidden layer, the momentum and the learning rates are determined by using the genetic algorithm. The inputs for the artificial neural networks model are five physical properties, namely, average boiling point, density, molecular weight, viscosity and refractive index. It is verified that the genetic algorithm could find the optimal structural parameters and training parameters of ANN. In addition, an artificial neural networks model based on a genetic algorithm was tested and the results indicated that the VGO saturates can be efficiently predicted. Compared with conventional artificial neural networks models, this approach can improve the prediction accuracy.展开更多

To resolve this optimal problem,an integer encoding routing-based genetic algorithm( REGA) is presented to map the optimization problem into a genetic algorithm( GA)framework. Moreover,to speed up the search process of the algorithm,an efficient local search procedure which can reduce the searching space size is designed for searching the feasible solution.Compared with the binary link state encoding representation genetic algorithm( BLSGA),the chromosome length of REGA is shorter and just depends on the number of sinks. Simulation results show the advantages of the algorithm in terms of getting the optimal solution and algorithmic convergence speed.展开更多

One of the mechanisms proposed for modelling of axial splitting is the sliding crack or so called, “wing crack” model. Fairhurst-Cook model explains this specific type of failure which starts by a pre-crack and finally breaks the rock by propagating 2-D cracks under uniaxial compression. In this paper, optimization of this model has been considered and the process has been done by a complete sensitivity analysis on the main parameters of the model and excluding the trends of their changes and also their limits and “peak points”. Later on this paper, three artificial intelligence algorithms including Particle Swarm Intelligence (PSO), Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and genetic algorithm (GA) has been used and compared in order to achieve optimized sets of parameters resulting in near-maximum or near-minimum amounts of wedging forces creating a wing crack.展开更多

Locator layout planning is one of the most important tasks in the fixture design process. However, the design of a fixture relies heavily on the designerts expertise and experience up to now. Therefore, a new approach to loeator layout determination for workpieces with arbitrary complex surfaces is pro- posed for the first time. Firstly, based on the fuzzy judgment method, the proper locating reference and locator - numbers are determined with consideration of surface type, surface area and position tolerance. Secondly, the lo- cator positions are optimized by genetic algorithm（GA）. Finally, a typical example shows that the approach is su- perior to the experiential method and can improve positioning accuracy effectively.展开更多
