This study addresses the multi-generation distortion (re-loss) issue of intra-coding, which is introduced by the irreversible operation of current clip operation. In order to implement the lossless re-coding in intra-coding in modified H.264/AVC, this study first proposes a novel optimal clipping algorithm based on integer linear programming (ILP) to eliminate the re-loss caused by traditional saturation clipping. Furthermore, a new cost function of intra-prediction guarantees the prediction mode of successive coding generations to be the same as that of the first generation. Experimental results show that the ILP-based intra-coding method completely eliminates the video degradation occurred in the second and later generations of encoding/decoding and achieves superior performance in comparison with current intra-coding method in H.264.

Solving integer linear programming (ILP) models generally lies in the category of NP-hard problems and finding the optimal answer for large models is a computational challenge. Genetic algorithms are a family of metaheuristic algorithms capable of adjusting and redesigning parameters and operations according to the characteristics of ILP models. On the other hand, still the genetic algorithm performs a lot of operations to solve large models, and parallel processing is a suitable technique to tackle this problem. This paper introduces an LP-Relaxation based parallel genetic algorithm that uses a population-based incremental learning technique to presents an expandable solver for large ILP models derived from a behavioral synthesis of digital circuits. In the proposed algorithm, each chromosome provides a state subspace of possible solutions, and each generation is produced based on a probability vector as well as elitism. Our experiments verify the efficiency of the proposed algorithm on multicore platforms, as it outperformed four previous genetic algorithms for solving mixed integerprogramming problems. The proposed genetic algorithm solved 20 ILP models include up to 5183 int / binary decision variables in less than 20 min using four 16-core AMD Opteron 6386 SE processors. Also, the results indicate that for models with more than 4000 variables, the speedup and the efficiency of the proposed parallel genetic algorithm on 60 CPU cores is more than 18X and 30%, respectively.

Error-rate floor phenomenon is known to be a serious impediment to the use of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes for some practical applications that demand high data reliability. In the case of binary erasure channels (BECs), certain error-prone patterns, known as stopping sets, are proven to cause this performance degradation. A possible approach to diminish this drawback over BECs is to eliminate stopping sets by parity-check matrix extension. Given a parity-check matrix H, and a list L of its stopping sets, we present an integer linear programming (ILP) formulation to find a parity-check equation which eliminates the maximum number of stopping sets in L. One of the distinguishing advantages of the proposed scheme is its flexibility for modifications such as: limiting the weight of the new parity-check row, making the new row redundant or linearly independent, 4-cycle avoidance, and taking into account the sizes of stopping sets. Armed with these adjustments, the method can provide good performance improvements, as evidenced by simulation results. Furthermore, for a given rho is an element of N, by extending the basic formulation, we provide an ILP formulation for finding a set of size rho of parity-check equations which can best eliminate the stopping sets in L, among all such sets.

This paper describes an integer linear programming model conceived as an alternative to a traditional material requirements planning (MRP) system for extending the concept of supply chain synchronisation upstream in a multi-tier supply chain. In this model, we assume there is an incumbent application for transmitting original equipment manufacturer (OEM) requirements to first-, second- and third-tier suppliers. The proposed model is regarded as being embedded within a web-enabled, multi-tier, supply chain information system that provides the application for transmitting the production requirements. The principal motivation for having second-and third-tier suppliers that are synchronised with OEM and first-tier activity is the significant inventory, lead time and responsiveness gains that can potentially be achieved. Here, inventory is considered as a whole across a supply chain, and stock-outs are prohibited for the first-tier supplier. For illustration purposes, an example based on a real, automotive case study is provided. The model results proved better in terms of inventory and bullwhip reduction than those found in a previous simulation-based approach. Also, a comparison of the proposed case results with those of a conventional MRP application is provided.

As an important research topic, high-utility itemset mining (HUIM) has, of late years, attracted increasing attention, where both the significance and quantity factors of items are taken into account to mine high-utility itemsets (HUIs). Privacy breaches have always been a major issue existing in the field of data mining, which usually inevitably arise, especially when private data collections are publicly published or shared by organizations. To tackle this problem, plentiful methodologies regarding privacy-preserving data mining (PPDM) have been proposed. Due to the high practicality of HUIM, in recent years, privacy-preserving utility mining (PPUM) has become a popular research orientation in PPDM. The main goal of PPUM is to hide sensitive HUIs ( SHUIs) so as to leave no confidential information uncovered in the resulting sanitized database. However, all the previously proposed approaches have suffered from the defect of introducing numerous side effects by performing database perturbation. To alleviate this issue, in this paper, a novel algorithm based on integer linear programming (ILP) is proposed to obtain a lower ratio of side effects produced in the hiding process while does not reveal any sensitive information in the sanitized database. We formulate the hiding process as a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP), which pursuing the protection of SHUIs as well as the minimization of side effects. A solution to the hiding problem is expected to be obtained by exploiting ILP technique to solve the mapped problem, which properly indicates the processing manner of perturbation operation. In addition, a relaxation procedure is also adopted in the designed algorithm to provide an approximate solution of the CSP when the optimal one does not exist. Extensive experimental evaluations between our proposed method and other stateof-the-art algorithms are conducted on several real-world datasets. The comparative results demonstrate the superiorities of the proposed algo

In this paper we present two major approaches to solve the car sequencing problem, in which the goal is to find an optimal arrangement of commissioned vehicles along a production line with respect to constraints of the form "no more than 1, cars are allowed to require a component c in any subsequence of m(c) consecutive cars". The first method is an exact one based on integer linear programming (ILP). The second approach is hybrid: it uses ILP techniques within a general variable neighborhood search (VNS) framework for examining large neighborhoods. We tested the two methods on benchmark instances provided by CSPLIB and the automobile manufacturer RENAULT for the ROADEF Challenge 2005. These tests reveal that our approaches are competitive to previous reported algorithms. For the CSPLIB instances we were able to shorten the required computation time for reaching and proving optimality. Furthermore, we were able to obtain tight bounds on some of the ROADEF instances. For two of these instances the proposed ILP-method could provide new optimality proofs for already known solutions. For the VNS, the individual contributions of the used neighborhoods are also experimentally analyzed. Results highlight the significant impact of each structure. In particular the large ones examined using ILP techniques enhance the overall performance significantly, so that the hybrid approach clearly outperforms variants including only commonly defined neighborhoods.

This work presents SUTIL, a mechanism for network selection in the context of next generation networks (NGN). SUTIL selection mechanism prioritizes networks with higher relevance to the application and lower energy consumption and it enables full and seamless connectivity to mobile user devices and applications. Consequently, SUTIL contributes to realize the vision of ubiquitous computing, in which services, devices, and sensor-enriched environments interact anytime, anywhere to accomplish human designed tasks. The provided solution is based on utility function and integer linear programming and it aims at: (i) maximizing the user satisfaction while meeting application QoS and (ii) minimizing the energy consumption of devices when connecting to a target network. The solution is global since it considers for a given base station all devices that are simultaneously candidate for handoff. Simulation results showed the benefits of SUTIL usage in NGN environments. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

We consider integer linear programming problems with a fixed coefficient matrix and varying objective function and right-hand-side vector. Among our results, we show that, for any optimal solution to a linear program max{wx: Ax≤b}, the distance to the nearest optimal solution to the corresponding integer program is at most the dimension of the problem multiplied by the largest subdeterminant of the integral matrixA. Using this, we strengthen several integerprogramming ‘proximity’ results of Blair and Jeroslow; Graver; and Wolsey. We also show that the Chvátal rank of a polyhedron {x: Ax≤b} can be bounded above by a function of the matrixA, independent of the vectorb, a result which, as Blair observed, is equivalent to Blair and Jeroslow's theorem that ‘each integerprogramming value function is a Gomory function.’

We propose an integer linear programming (ILP) formulation for the minimum relay break point set (BPS) computation. Subsequently, in the ILP framework, we propose an alternate maximum-independent relay BPS formulation with the intention of minimizing dependency within the BPS. We show that 1) in practice, the relaxed version of the ILP suffices to obtain an integral vertex and 2) the relaxed version of the ILP can be efficiently solved by the dual-simplex method. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared and contrasted with existing algorithms. Case studies on various test systems show the efficacy of the proposed approach.

Resource allocation is one of the main influential factors to provide efficient and economical processing of resources in the infrastructure as a service Clouds. While there are many challenges in providing an efficient resource allocator, maximizing the utilization of physical resources is of great importance. There are several works focused on optimizing the selection of virtual machines (VMs) for migration, however, there is less attention on the placement of the selected VMs on the available physical machines, especially for the advanced reservation request model. In this paper, the placement method and the impacts of different parameters are studied. First, different states of the problem are classified. Then, an algorithm based on integer linear programming (ILP) is proposed to solve some common cases of the problem. Finally, the algorithm is implemented in a Haizea simulator and the results are compared with the Haizea greedy algorithm and some other heuristics. The results reveal that the Haizea greedy algorithm is not able to utilize around 40% of the physical resources. Moreover, at low heterogeneity loads, the proposed ILP-based algorithm shows the same results as a Best-Fit algorithm, but at higher heterogeneity loads, the results of the proposed algorithm outperform other algorithms.
