Truly stateless, optimal dynamic partial order reduction

Dynamic partial order reduction (DPOR) verifies concurrent programs by exploring all their interleavings up to some equivalence relation, such as the Mazurkiewicz trace equivalence. Doing so involves a complex trade-off between space and time. Existing DPOR algorithms are either exploration-optimal (i.e., explore exactly only interleaving per equivalence class) but may use exponential memory in the size of the program, or maintain polynomial memory consumption but potentially explore exponentially many redundant interleavings. In this paper, we show that it is possible to have the best of both worlds: exploring exactly one interleaving per equivalence class with linear memory consumption. Our algorithm, TruSt, formalized in Coq, is applicable not only to sequential consistency, but also to any weak memory model that satisfies a few basic assumptions, including TSO, PSO, and RC11. In addition, TruSt is embarrassingly parallelizable: its different exploration options have no shared state, and can therefore be explored completely in parallel. Consequently, TruSt outperforms the state-of-the-art in terms of memory and/or time.

In order to ensure the stability and reliability of power supply and realize day and night power generation, wind and solar complementary power generation systems are built in areas with abundant solar and wind energy resources. However, the system investment cost is too high. Because of this, there are wind, light intermittent, and non-intermittent power generation systems. For issues such as stability, an energy storage system needs to be configured to stabilize power fluctuations. This paper aims to study the optimization control of hybrid energy storage system of new energy power generation system based on improved particle swarm algorithm. In this paper, the application of particle swarm algorithm to power system reactive power optimization has been researched in two aspects. Through optimization methods, reasonable adjustment of control variables, full use of equipment resources of the power grid, to improve voltage quality and reduce system operation network to ensure the stability of the voltage system. In addition, this paper selects the IEEE30 node test system and simulation data analysis, takes the hybrid energy storage system as the optimization object, and optimizes the reactive power of the newly improved particle swarm algorithm. The experiments in this paper show that the improved algorithm has a good effect in reactive power optimization, increasing the performance of the hybrid energy storage system by 27.02%. MPSO algorithm is also better than basic PSO algorithm. It can be seen from the figure that in the PSO algorithm, the algorithm basically tends to be stable after more than 40 iterations, and finally the algorithm converges to 0.089.

Jiles-Atherton-Based Hysteresis Identification of Joint Resistant Torque in Active Spacesuit Using SA-PSO Algorithm

To eliminate the influence of spacesuits’ joint resistant torque on the operation of astronauts, an active spacesuit scheme based on the joint-assisted exoskeleton technology is proposed. Firstly, we develop a prototype of the upper limb exoskeleton robot and theoretically analyse the prototype to match astronauts’ motion behavior. Then, the Jiles-Atherton model is adopted to describe the hysteretic characteristic of joint resistant torque. Considering the parameter identification effects in the Jiles-Atherton model and the local optimum problem of the basic PSO (particle swarm optimization) algorithm, a SA- (simulated annealing-) PSO algorithm is proposed to identify the Jiles-Atherton model parameters. Compared with the modified PSO algorithm, the convergence rate of the designed SA-PSO algorithm is advanced by 6.25% and 20.29%, and the fitting accuracy is improved by 14.45% and 46.5% for upper limb joint model. Simulation results show that the identified J-A model can show good agreements with the measured experimental data and well predict the unknown joint resistance torque.

Chaotic Particle Swarm Optimization with Attractive Search Space Border Points for Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch

This paper presents a reliable approach for optimal reactive power dispatch based on chaotic particle swarm optimization with attractive search space border points, where the particles are randomly attracted to the boundary points of the search space in each direction avoiding stagnation of the population. The introduction of chaotic dynamics improves the stability and rate of convergence. The algorithm is further improved by using Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) to create diversity in the population. The proposed algorithm is used for optimal reactive power dispatch with three objective functions, namely: minimization of real power loss, voltage stability index, and sum squared voltage deviations. The algorithm is tested on a standard 30-bus system of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and on a practical 75-bus Indian Power System. The results obtained with the proposed algorithm are compared with the conventional interior point method and the basic particle swarm optimization algorithm, and the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated.

Computer Network Dynamic Balance Flow Distribution Based on Closed-Loop Particle Swarm Feedback Model

Based on the closed-loop particle swarm feedback model, this paper proposes a graphical method to analyze the stability of the computer network dynamic balance system. First, based on the second-order time delay system model of congestion control, the stability of the system is described by characteristic pseudopolynomials. Secondly, based on the inverse line, the stability of the system is verified by graphical analysis methods, and the PID controller parameter range that guarantees the stability of the system is obtained, and the relationship between the controller proportional gain boundary and the network characteristic parameters is analyzed. Then, based on the analysis of the basic particle swarm optimization algorithm, the particle swarm evolution formula is divided into two parts, its own factors and social factors, and the influence of each part on the evolution speed and position of the particle swarm is analyzed, and an improved particle swarm is proposed. Finally, according to the above analysis, we find the corresponding equation from the appropriate solution in turn, thereby designing a class of particle swarm optimization algorithm with fewer intermediate variables. In view of the system involved in the classical PID control parameter tuning method, the improved particle swarm algorithm is applied to the parameter tuning and optimization of the PID controller. During the experiment, the improved PSO-PID controller optimization algorithm was used in the random early detection algorithm of active queue management, the process of the improved algorithm was researched and designed, and the relevant performance of the improved algorithm was verified through simulation experiments.

Quadrotor Attitude Control by Fractional-Order Fuzzy Particle Swarm Optimization-Based Active Disturbance Rejection Control

In this paper, Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC) is utilized in the attitude control of a quadrotor aircraft to address the problem of attitude destabilization in flight control caused by parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. Considering the difficulty of optimizing the parameter of ADRC, a fractional-order fuzzy particle swarm optimization (FOFPSO) algorithm is proposed to optimize the parameters of ADRC for quadrotor aircraft. Simultaneously, the simulation experiment is designed, which compares with the optimized performance of traditional particle swarm optimization (PSO), fuzzy article swarm optimization (FPSO) and adaptive genetic algorithm-particle swarm optimization (AGA-PSO). In addition, the turbulent wind field model is established to verify the disturbance rejection performance of the controller. Finally, the designed controller is deployed to the actual hardware platform by using the model-based design method. The results show that the controller has a small overshoot and stronger disturbance rejection ability after the parameters are optimized by the proposed algorithm.

Collaborative beamforming in wireless sensor networks using a novel particle swarm optimization algorithm variant

Collaborative Beamforming (CBF) is an essential tool towards increasing transmission range in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Owing to the random and complex nature of WSNs, development and use of improved metaheuristic algorithms in CBF is of essence. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is a good candidate for use in CBF owing to its simplicity and low computation complexity. However, the basic PSO algorithm suffers from premature convergence particularly in highly multimodal functions (typical of CBF). This paper delves into the development and application of an improved Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm in CBF. A new fuzzy-logic based confidence and inertia weight parameters adaptation scheme has been developed with an aim of enhancing exploration and exploitation capabilities of the PSO algorithm. Normalized particle quality and iteration count have been used as the inputs to the designed fuzzy-logic inference system. The fuzzy logic based parameters adaptation scheme has been implemented in the form of a lookup table to minimize “on-line” computation complexity. Furthermore, a particle culling/ re-initialization procedure is utilized at half the number of maximum iterations to enhance overall swarm diversity. The modified PSO algorithm has been christened Culled Fuzzy Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization (CFAPSO) algorithm. The developed CFAPSO algorithm is noted to outperform other metaheuristic algorithms in a statistical performance analysis procedure (on the basis of a set of standard unimodal and multimodal functions). Upon application to CBF, the CFAPSO algorithm is found to generate a beamsteering outcome statistically identical to that of conventional beamsteering.

IntelliSwAS: Optimizing deep neural network architectures using a particle swarm-based approach

Deep learning is in a continuous evolution and many domains benefit from this substantial progress in the development of intelligent solutions. While this progress has been swift, there are more and more applications and the specific requirements of each application domain entails much work done by researchers to adapt existing models or create new ones. This traditional approach has produced many successful designs, but recently, automated methods of finding neural network architectures emerged. We introduce IntelliSwAS approach for optimizing deep neural network architectures for a classification or regression task. Image classification was selected as the task, but IntelliSwAS is generic enough such that it could be successfully applied on other classification or regression problems. A particle swarm-based optimization algorithm is proposed for the automatic search for convolutional neural network architectures. The search technique is enhanced by a machine learning model (DAGRNN) which we designed for predicting the quality of the network architectures and thus increasing the performance of the algorithm. The proposed model is able to process data structured as directed acyclic graphs in general and we applied it specifically on network architectures. The network architecture that we discovered using IntelliSwAS surpassed 89.8% of the competing image classification models that we considered for comparison.

Developing an attack detection framework for wireless sensor network‐based healthcare applications using hybrid convolutional neural network

AbstractAttack detection is the major issue in healthcare‐based wireless sensor networks (H‐WSNs). Due to their low processing speed, very low storage space, poor attack detection rate, longer deployment time, poor communication range, and reduced energy, H‐WSNs are subjected to difficult implementation and have their own limitations. To tackle these issues, we have presented a hybrid deep learning model using convolutional neural network and long short term memory (HDMCL) for attack detection in H‐WSN. This research is divided into three steps: preprocessing, dimensionality reduction, and classification (attack detection). At first, the raw input data (patient's health data) is preprocessed using the one‐hot encoding method. Next, the modified Huber independent component analysis based squirrel search algorithm (MHICA‐SSA) effectively reduces the data dimensionality in which the MHICA‐SSA is the amalgamation of both modified Huber independent component analysis and squirrel search algorithm. The novel algorithm designed overcomes the complexities associated with existing techniques such as the curse of dimensionality problem, improves the parameter interpretation, minimizes the time and storage space, minimizes space complexity, and enhances the attack detection accuracy of the convolutional neural network‐based long short‐term memory (CNN‐LSTM). After that, the deep learning CNN‐LSTM model is utilized for normal, black hole, and gray hole attack detection. The NS2.34 network simulator implements the proposed work thereby the proposed work efficiency is validated using different performance measures such as packet delivery ratio, false alarm rate, network lifetime, energy consumption, throughput, attack detection time, and rate. The proposed work performance is evaluated using different existing methods such as fish swarm optimization based particle swarm optimization, intelligent opportunistic routing algorithm, Jensen‐Shannon divergence‐based independent component analysis, and radio frequency identification based WSN. The throughput of the proposed work is increased up to 3.2 times and the network lifetime is increased up to 4 times when compared to the existing techniques.

Implementing PSO-ELM Model to Approximate Trolox Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity as One of the Most Important Biological Properties of Food.

In this paper, the Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) is estimated through a robust machine-learning algorithm known as the Particle Swarm Optimization-based Extreme Learning Machine (PSO-ELM) model. For this purpose, a large dataset from previously published reports was gathered. Various analyses were performed to evaluate the proposed model. The results of the statistical analysis showed that this model can predict the actual values with high accuracy, so that the calculated R2 and RMSE values were equal to 0.973 and 3.56, respectively. Sensitivity analysis was also performed on the effective input parameters. The leverage technique was also performed to check the accuracy of real data, and the results showed that the majority of data are reliable. This simple yet accurate model can be very powerful in predicting the Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity values and can be a good alternative to laboratory data.

Shift quality optimization control of power shift transmission based on particle swarm optimization–genetic algorithm

A clutch control strategy is proposed to improve the shift quality of power shift transmission and solve the power cycle phenomenon in the shifting process. The strategy effectively avoids the power cycle phenomenon by analyzing the change in the transmission torque and the relationship between the rotating speed of the driving and driven disks of a shifting clutch. The evaluation indexes of the shift quality of power shift transmission are sliding friction power loss, impact degree, and torque oscillation amplitude. Particle swarm optimization (PSO), combined with a genetic algorithm, is used to optimize the shift quality of power shift transmission, solving the problem in which basic PSO frequently converges to the local optimal solution. Simulations and experiments are performed on the optimization results. The simulation and test results show that the proposed control strategy can ensure that the rotating speed of the driving disk is always higher than that of the driven disk when the clutch is insliding and wearing states. Thus, this control strategy effectively avoids power cycle when shifting and improves shift quality.

Hybrid particle swarm optimization algorithm for solving the clustered vehicle routing problem

This paper considers a variant of the classical capacitated vehicle routing problem called clustered vehicle routing problem (CluVRP). In CluVRP, customers are grouped into different clusters. A vehicle visiting a cluster cannot leave the cluster until all customers in the same cluster have been served. Each cluster and customer have to be served only once. A new hybrid metaheuristic, combining the particle swarm optimization (PSO) and variable neighborhood search (VNS) for the specific problem, is proposed to solve the CluVRP. In the hybrid PSO, the basic PSO principle ensures the solution diversity and VNS ensures solution intensity to bring the solution to the local optima. Extensive computational experiments have been performed on numerous benchmark instances with various sizes obtained from the CluVRP literature to evaluate the performance of the proposed hybrid PSO. The obtained results of the proposed algorithm are compared with the results found in the literature to validate the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid PSO. The proposed algorithm is proven to be superior to the state-of-the-art algorithms on the CluVRP. The proposed algorithm obtains 138 new best-known solutions among the 293 benchmark instances.

This paper proposes a general hierarchical dispatching strategy of mine water, with the aim of addressing the problems of low reuse rate of coal mine water, and insufficient data analysis. First of all, water quality and quantity data of the Narim River No. 2 mine were used as the research object; the maximum reuse rate of mine water and the system operation rate comprised the objective function; and mine water quality information, mine water standard, and mine water treatment speed were the constraints. A multi-objective optimization scheduling mathematical model of water supply system was established. Then, to address the problems of premature convergence and ease of falling into a local optimum in the iterative process of particle swarm optimization, the basic particle swarm optimization was improved. Using detailed simulation research, the superiority of the improved algorithm was verified. Eventually, the mine water grading dispatching strategy proposed in this paper is compared with the traditional dispatching method. The results show that the hierarchical dispatching system can significantly improve the mine water reuse rate and system operating efficiency.

Study on Active Disturbance Rejection Control of a Bearingless Induction Motor Based on an Improved Particle Swarm Optimization–Genetic Algorithm

To overcome the limitations that active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) system of a bearingless induction motor (BIM) has difficulty in tuning parameters depending on experience to select parameters, an ADRC strategy based on improved particle swarm optimization-genetic algorithm (IPSO-GA) is proposed. Based on the orientation of the air-gap magnetic field, the first-order and the second-order ADRC are, respectively, designed for the BIM rotation and suspension parts according to the different order of the BIM system. Then, the parameters of the basic particle swarm optimization algorithm are optimized by considering the characteristics of the basic particle swarm algorithm parameters, and the crossover and mutation operations are introduced to enhance global search capability. Meanwhile, through the performance test based on the test function, the performance of IPSO-GA is verified, and the parameters of ADRC are adjusted by IPSO-GA. In addition, this strategy is analyzed with simulation in MATLAB/Simulink and verified on an experimental prototype. Both simulation and experimental results show that the proposed strategy not only effectively improves the starting performance and antidisturbance ability of the BIM but also reduces the maximum radial offset of the rotor and improves the suspension precision of the motor.

Predicting Academic Performance of Deaf Students Using Feed Forward Neural Network and An Improved PSO Algorithm

Literacy rate of deaf students is very less in India. So there is a need to build an effective academic prediction model for identifying weak deaf students. Many machine learning techniques like Decision tree, Support Vector Machine, Neural Network are used to build prediction models. But the most preferred technique is neural network. It is found out that regression model build with neural networks takes more time to converge and the error rate is quite high. To solve the problems of neural network, we use Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for weight adjustment in the neural network. But, one of the main drawback of PSO lies in setting the initial parameters. So, a new PSO algorithm which determines the initial weight of the neural network using regression equation is proposed. The results show that neural network build with the proposed PSO algorithm performs well than neural network build with basic PSO algorithm. The Mean Square Error (MSE) achieved in this work is 0.0998, which is comparatively less than many existing models.

An Improvement in LQR Controller Design based on Modified Chaotic Particle Swarm Optimization and Model Order Reduction

The diverse engineering and scientific applications are stated through complex and high-order systems. The significant difficulties of these systems are the complications of modeling, analyzing, and controlling. It is easier to examine simpler models for more physical insights than more complex models and result in lower-ordering controllers that are easier to implement. The model order reduction (MOR) was used to simplify the computational difficulty of such complications and was later developed intensively for use with increasingly CDS. In this paper, a new Modified Chaos Particle Swarm Optimization (MCPSO) technique is employed to get a reduced-order model of a large scale system and design a Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) based controller. The mod uses the combination of advantages of basic PSO algorithms and chaotic algorithms. It becomes an excellent algorithm with fast convergence, few control parameters, simple execution, and avoidance of local extremes. In addition to combining the chaotic algorithm, CPSO also improved the weight parameter w, adjusting it to the dynamic attenuation direction. First, efficient reduced-order model parameters are obtained for original higher-order systems based on the MCPSO. Then linear quadratic regulator (LQR (controller parameters optimized for the reduced-order model. The goodness of the proposed method is evaluated through a numerical example. The experimental results indicate that the proposed technique’s reduced order model provides an excellent close approximation to the original system.

An extended new approach for forecasting short-term wind power using modified fuzzy wavelet neural network: A case study in wind power plant

Nowadays, there has been more attention paid to clean energies, especially wind, since there is a shortage of fossil fuel resources, but there is a decrease in pollutants that result from such sources. Such energies play a significant role in generating power. The non-linear nature of wind speed poses challenges and difficulty in exploiting its power. As a result, an accurate and efficient prediction of wind power will serve as a crucial means for solving the system’s planning and operational issues. This article aims to predict a wind power plant’s power output using weather and power plant parameters and employ an extended fuzzy wavelet neural network (FWNN). In the extended method, any fuzzy set rule uses different fuzzy wavelet functions to convert input space into a subspace. A uniform hybrid learning algorithm was used in the extended FWNN method to obtain an optimal proportion of parameters. The method was an optimal combination of the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Gradient Descent algorithms. The use of optimized PSO is slightly different from the basic PSO in that in this method, two layers of PSO are used within each other. Not only it has high convergence but also higher coordination and adaptability with the gradient descent algorithm. This method was used for the Manjil wind power plant in Iran, with real data being recorded every 10 min. The extended FWNN method was also compared with the conventional prediction methods. The results showed that compared to other methods reported earlier, the proposed method was a more efficient tool and had higher precision for short-term wind power forecasting.
