This article introduces a new variation of a known metaheuristic method for solving global optimization problems. The proposed algorithm is based on the bat algorithm (BA), which is inspired by the micro-bat echolocation phenomenon, and addresses the problems of local-optima trapping using a special mutation operator that enhances the diversity of the standard BA, hence the name enhanced bat algorithm (Ebat). The design of Ebat is introduced and its performance is evaluated against 24 of the standard benchmark functions, and compared to that of the standard BA, as well as to several well-established metaheuristic techniques. We also analyze the impact of different parameters on the Ebat algorithm and determine the best combination of parameter values in the context of numerical optimization. The obtained results show that the new Ebat method is indeed a promising addition to the arsenal of metaheuristic algorithms and can outperform several existing ones, including the original BA algorithm.

Unmanned aerial vehicles have a wide range of applications. An intelligent optimization algorithm based on the traditional bat algorithm (BA) is investigated in this paper for UAV flight path planning in a static complex environment. The primary goal of this work is to develop a safer flight path while considering the feasibility of the UAV and the requirements for safe operation. This research proposes an improved spherical coordinate and truncated average stable strategy-based bat optimization algorithm (TMS-SBA). The algorithm uses the UAV's motion space to encode the operator, and by substituting a new bat for the worst of the old one after each iteration to increase population diversity, the algorithm can converge quickly in a complex environment while maintaining stable operation. In addition, the flight path is smoothly generated by using B-spline curves to make the planned path suitable for UAV. MATLAB simulation experiments show that, compared with other traditional swarm intelligent algorithms, TMS-SBA can successfully generate feasible and effective optimal solutions in complex environments and plan shorter, safer, and more accessible flight paths for UAV.

Appropriate location and sizing of distributed generation (DG) units in a radial distribution system (RDS) play a significant role in the improvement of its overall performance. Indeed, proper DG placement and sizing help in maintaining the balance between power supply and demand, decreasing energy losses and enhancing voltage profile. Within this context, this paper presents an effective approach for the determination of the optimal location and the appropriate capacity of a photovoltaic distributed generation (PVDG) unit in RDSs. In the suggested approach, the best position of the PVDG is selected using the loss sensitivity factor (LSF). Meanwhile, a new optimization technique incorporating chaos, bats' self-adaptive compensation, and Doppler effect into the original bat algorithm (BA) is developed to find the optimal size of the PVDG unit. The optimal PVDG size is optimally determined in such a way that total active power losses of the RDS is reduced and voltage profile is enhanced. The performance of the proposed optimization technique, symbolized by (CSA-DC)BA, is evaluated using various benchmark functions. Moreover, the applicability and effectiveness of the suggested approach are verified on the IEEE 33-bus and the IEEE 69-bus RDSs. Obtained results revealed that the proposed (CSA-DC)BA outperforms the comparison optimization techniques.

Clustering of sensor nodes is one of the prominent methods applied to Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). In the cluster-based WSN scenario, the sensor nodes are assembled to generate clusters. The sensor nodes are composed of limited battery power. Therefore, energy efficiency in WSN is crucial. A load of sensor node and its distance from base station (BS) are the significant factors of energy consumption. Therefore, load balancing according to the transmission distance is necessary for WSN. In this paper, we propose a load-balanced clustering algorithm using Fuzzy C means (FCM) algorithm and an energy-efficient routing approach using bat-algorithm (FC-Rbat). The cluster heads (CHs) are selected according to the score of the sensor node from each cluster. After selection of the CHs, the bat-inspired routing algorithm is applied on the CHs. The best routing path from each CH to the BS is obtained from the proposed approach. The simulations are conducted on evaluation factors such as energy consumption, active sensor nodes per round, the sustainability of the network and the standard deviation of a load of the sensor node. It is observed that FC-Rbat outperforms compared algorithms, namely EAUCF, DUCF and SGA, under the evaluation factors.

A bat algorithm (BA) is a heuristic algorithm that operates by imitating the echolocation behavior of bats to perform global optimization, which has fast convergence, a simple structure, and strong search ability. One of the issues in the standard bat algorithm is the premature convergence that can occur due to the low exploration ability of the algorithm under some conditions. To overcome this problem, the paper proposes a hybrid approach to improving its local search mechanism. The local search strategy of curve decreasing and speed weight is introduced to the standard bat algorithm to enhance its exploration and exploitation capabilities. The performance of the improved bat algorithm has better global optimization ability and higher convergence accuracy than the standard bat algorithm.

Complex Event Processing (CEP) is a modern software technology for the dynamic analysis of continuous data streams. CEP is able of searching extremely large data streams in real time for the presence of event patterns. So far, specifying event patterns of CEP rules is still a manual task based on the expertise of domain experts. This paper presents a novel bat-inspired swarm algorithm for automatically mining CEP rule patterns that express the relevant causal and temporal relations hidden in data streams. The basic suitability and performance of the approach is proven by extensive evaluation with both synthetically generated data and real data from the traffic domain.

bat algorithm (BA) is one of the recently proposed heuristic algorithms imitating the echolocation behavior of bats to perform global optimization. The superior performance of this algorithm has been proven among the other most well-known algorithms such as genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). However, the original version of this algorithm is suitable for continuous problems, so it cannot be applied to binary problems directly. In this paper, a binary version of this algorithm is proposed. A comparative study with binary PSO and GA over twenty-two benchmark functions is conducted to draw a conclusion. Furthermore, Wilcoxon's rank-sum nonparametric statistical test was carried out at 5 % significance level to judge whether the results of the proposed algorithm differ from those of the other algorithms in a statistically significant way. The results prove that the proposed binary bat algorithm (BBA) is able to significantly outperform others on majority of the benchmark functions. In addition, there is a real application of the proposed method in optical engineering called optical buffer design at the end of the paper. The results of the real application also evidence the superior performance of BBA in practice.

In this paper, speed control of Brushless DC motor using bat algorithm optimized online Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System is presented. Learning parameters of the online ANFIS controller, i.e., Learning Rate (eta), Forgetting Factor (lambda) and Steepest Descent Momentum Constant (alpha) are optimized for different operating conditions of Brushless DC motor using Genetic algorithm, Particle Swarm Optimization, and bat algorithm. In addition, tuning of the gains of the Proportional Integral Derivative (PID), Fuzzy PID, and Adaptive Fuzzy Logic Controller is optimized using Genetic algorithm, Particle Swarm Optimization and bat algorithm. Time domain specification of the speed response such as rise time, peak overshoot, undershoot, recovery time, settling time and steady state error is obtained and compared for the considered controllers. Also, performance indices such as Root Mean Squared Error, Integral of Absolute Error, Integral of Time Multiplied Absolute Error and Integral of Squared Error are evaluated and compared for the above controllers. In order to validate the effectiveness of the proposed controller, simulation is performed under constant load condition, varying load condition and varying set speed conditions of the Brushless DC motor. The real time experimental verification of the proposed controller is verified using an advanced DSP processor. The simulation and experimental results confirm that bat algorithm optimized online ANFIS controller outperforms the other controllers under all considered operating conditions.

G-Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCR) are the large family of protein membrane;and until now some of them still remain orphans. Predicting GPCR functions is a challenging task, it depends closely to their classification, which requires a digital representation of each protein chain as an attribute vector. A major problem of GPCR databases is their great number of features which can produce combinatorial explosion and increase the complexity of classification algorithms. Feature selection techniques are used to deal with this problem by minimizing features space dimension, and keeping the most relevant ones. In this paper, we propose to use the bat algorithm for extracting the pertinent features and to improve the classification results. We compared the results obtained by our system with two other bio-inspired algorithms, Evolutionary algorithm and PSO search. Metrics quality measures used for comparison are Error Rate, Accuracy, MCC and F-measure. Experimental results indicate that our system is more efficient.
