evolutionary algorithms have been shown to be effective in providing configuration optimisation to dynamic load balancing in distributed database systems and Web sewers. This paper explores the tuning parameter performance profile of such techniques over a variety of problems, including the adaptive distributed database management problem (ADDMP), focusing on a range of interesting and important features. The ability of the evolutionary search process to reliably find good solutions to a dynamic problem in a minimal and consistent run-time is of paramount importance when considering their application to real-time industrial control problems. This paper demonstrates the existence of certain optimal parameter values, particularly for the rate of applied mutation, which are shown to produce consistently good problem solutions in a low number of evaluations with a minimum standard deviation.

The purpose of this study is to contribute the approach to the problem of optimization regarding the planning of topological facilities in layout of a shipyard, with the objective of finding a robust solution to the problem by improving the solution space search through refining the genetic operators. For this, the computational results of the evolutionary algorithm proposed by Choi with changes made by the authors, being: 1) the use of the Partially-Matched Crossover (PMX) genetic operator;2) the use of a recursive expression in the topological optimization step in addition to implementing the Biased Random-Key Genetic algorithm (BRKGA) for the purpose of comparing the results. As a plan of the computational experiments two groups of experiments were performed: 1) with the parameters and variables of the work of Choi, in order to validate the efficiency and effectiveness of the AE proposed in this work and;2) with the parameters and variables of the work of Choi with Department 03 fixed in the position of the best solution found in the 1st group of experiments (position 11 of the topological Grid). Each group contains 50 experiments with 100 iterations and variation of the number of individuals from 100 to 80,000 individuals. As a result, a better solution characterized by the reduction of material handling costs, of 11,816 presented by Choi, for 11,489 monetary units of cost, found from the changes made by the authors of the original proposal of the evolutionary algorithm and the use of BRKGA.

This paper proposes a new concept of the genetic robot characterized by its own robot genome in which each chromosome consists of many genes that contribute to defining the robot's personality. The large number of genes allows for a highly complex system, however it becomes increasingly difficult and time-consuming to ensure reliability, variability and consistency for the robot's personality while manually initializing values for the individual genes. To overcome this difficulty, this paper also proposes an evolutionary algorithm for evolving a genetic robot's personality (EAGRP) in a mobile phone. EAGRP evolves a gene pool that customizes the robot's genome so that it closely matches a simplified set of personality features desired by the user. It acts on a two-dimensional individual, composed of artificial chromosomes, upon which a new masking method, the Eliza-Meme scheme, is used to derive a plausible individual given the restricted preference settings. This paper also proposes a crossover method that enables reproduction for the two-dimensional genome. Finally, an evaluation procedure for individuals is carried out in a virtual environment using tailored perception scenarios. (C) 2010 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.

The influence maximization problem aims to identify a set of starting nodes in a social network that can generate the highest possible spread of influence under a given diffusion model. In real-world scenarios, however, the emphasis is usually on budgeted influence maximization, which considers the expenses involved in activating users. The existing techniques struggle to balance node costs and influence and cannot optimally leverage the network's structural information. To address these problems, we propose a structure-aware dual probability evolutionary adaptive (SADPEA) algorithm that considers network structures and node cost. This innovative algorithm integrates advanced graph representation learning techniques, dual probability mutation evolutionary algorithms, and dual-candidate pool adaptive simulated annealing algorithms. By leveraging graph representation learning algorithms, we can expertly map network nodes to low-dimensional vectors, effectively capturing their structural information and relationships. This hybrid approach optimizes the balance between node influence and cost by selectively filtering nodes based on their initial costs. Our method was tested on six real-world social networks of varying scales and types and was compared to seven baseline algorithms. Our approach consistently outperformed the others, demonstrating an impressive balance between efficiency and solution quality.

We propose in this article an evolutionary algorithm for the problem of scheduling N production jobs on M parallel machines. Each machine should be blocked once during the planning horizon for reasons of preventive maintenance. In our study, the maintenance tasks should continuously be performed because the maintenance resources are not sufficient. We aim to find a schedule composed of the production jobs and the maintenance tasks with a minimal preventive maintenance cost and total sum of production job's weighted completion times. Computational experiments are performed on randomly generated instances. The results show that the evolutionary algorithm is able to produce appropriate solutions for the problem.

Adaptive modelling (AM) based Gas Path Analysis (GPA) is a powerful diagnostic and prognostic technique for turbofan engine maintenance. This involves the assessment of turbofan component condition using thermodynamic models that can iteratively adapt to measurements values in the gas path by changing component condition parameters. The problem with this approach is that newer turbofan engines such as the General Electric GEnx-1B have fewer gas path sensors installed causing the AM equation systems to become underdetermined. To overcome this problem, a novel approach has been developed that combines the AM model with an evolutionary algorithm (EA) optimization scheme and applies it to multiple operating points. Additionally, these newer turbofan engines provide performance data continuously during flight. Information on variable geometry and bleed valve position, active clearance control state and power off-take is included and can be accounted for to further enhance AM model accuracy. A procedure is proposed where the selection of operating points is based on steady-state stability requirements, cycle model operating point uncertainty and parameter outlier filtering. The Gas turbine Simulation Program (GSP) is used as the non-linear GPA modelling environment. A Multiple Operating Point Analysis (MOPA) is chosen to overcome the problem of underdetermination by utilizing multiple data sets at different operating points. The EA finds the best fit of health parameter deviations by minimizing the multi-point objective function using the GSP AM model. A sub-form of the EA class named Differential Evolution (DE) has been chosen as the optimizer. Like all EAs, DE is a parallel direct search method in which a population of parameter vectors evolves following genetic operations towards an optimum output candidate. The resulting hybrid GPA tool has been verified by solving for different simulated deterioration cases of a GSP model. The tool can identify the direction and magn

Accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers can be used in a large variety of applications, and their calibration is a very actual problem due to high error rates, especially when errors are integrated in time. Systematic errors from the measurement values can be removed by sensor calibration, thus the applicability of the sensor can be increased. In this paper, a new evolutionary algorithm-based, quick and easy-to-use calibration method is presented. The algorithm has been developed and tested with real measurement data of the above-mentioned sensors. During this work, measurement data have been collected with 9 degree of freedom (9DOF) sensor boards, which are built up of three-axis accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer. For accelerometer and magnetometer calibration, bias values, scale factors and non-orthogonality corrections have been calculated, while for the gyroscopes only offsets have been determined.

Any evolutionary algorithms should conduct biased search in the search space. Most popular strategies for doing so focus on how to select and generate solutions. In this paper, a new strategy is proposed. It completes the task through the transformation of the given problem. A population of converted problem responding various search weights is used, which may be more suitable for evolutionary algorithm to solve. To show the performance of the new strategy, instantiated algorithm is designed. On some trap problems and benchmark problems, the proposed algorithm using converted problems has competitive performance.

With the diversification of applications using the Internet, network virtualization technologies that flexibly allocate network resources are attracting attention. In network virtualization, virtual network embedding is important to properly map the requirements of the virtual network to the physical network. However, it takes time to calculate the solution by optimization, and recalculation of the embedding becomes a problem when the environment of the virtual and physical networks changes. Therefore, a method of having multiple solution candidates in advance and switching the solution depending on the situation is considered, but the design and updating of the solution candidates themselves remain an issue. Such a relationship between solution candidates and solution selection is similar to the relationship between genotype and phenotype in biological evolution, and it is a shortcut to get hints from evolution. In biological evolution, the phenotype searches for short-term practical solutions while the genotype continues to search for optimal solutions. By introducing this mechanism into the network, it is possible to select a quasi-optimal solution in a fluctuating environment while continuing the search for a better solution candidate itself. In this paper, we propose a dynamic virtual network embedding method in which the solution candidates themselves can be dynamically updated based on the evolution of genotype and phenotype. In this method, candidate solutions are encoded as genotypes, and phenotypes are decoded by attractor selection using noise-induced fluctuations. Through evaluation, we show that the attractor selection by individuals leads to the discovery of appropriate solutions faster than when using neural networks.
