Finding an efficient communication structure among wireless network access points and wireless sensor nodes is essential in optimizing energy consumption and minimizing broadcast latency. Wireless networks Can control their nodes for efficient resource utilization via Topology Control. A topology control based on obtaining Minimum Connected Dominating Set (MCDS) is an efficient approach for constructing wireless network virtual backbone. A virtual backbone reduces energy consumption, reduce communication interference, reduce routing latency, and increase the bandwidth. We propose a new parallel genetic algorithm with elite and diverse cores for constructing wireless network virtual backbone based on finding MCDS of wireless nodes to be used in wireless network topology control. There are predefined number parallel workers, an elite core and a diverse core. All parallel components run genetic operators, and the elite core selects elite solutions among processed sub-population. On the other hand, diverse core looks for new solutions upon receiving elite solution in addition to received processed sub-population. Experimental results show that this algorithm gives better results compared to other methods, particularly for high dimension graph, which is the case in wireless sensor networks. Actually, using parallelism and featured elite and diverse search could help the proposed method to achieve 100% better results compared to its predecessor versions of sequential geneticalgorithms. In addition to that, the algorithm is very stable as each result match the average result.

In this paper, two adaptive thresholding schemes have been proposed. These two schemes are based on adaptive selection of windows based on the proposed window merging and window growing. Windows are selected based on the entropy and feature entropy criterion. PGA and MMSE based segmentation schemes have been proposed to segment the windows selected a priori. The efficacy of the proposed approaches have been compared with the Huang's pyramidal window merging approach. It is found that the proposed approaches exhibited improved performance in the context of accuracy of segmentation.

Pairwise testing is an effective test generation technique that requires all pairs of parameter values to be by at least one test case. It has been proven that generating minimum test suite is an NP-complete problem covered geneticalgorithms have been used for pairwise test suite generation by researchers. However, it is always a time-consuming process, which leads to significant limitations and obstacles for practical use of geneticalgorithms towards large-scale test problems. parallelism will be an effective way to not only enhance the computation performance but also improve the quality of the solutions. In this paper, we use Spark, a fast and general parallel computing platform, to parallelize the geneticalgorithm to tackle the problem. We propose a two-phase parallelization algorithm including fitness evaluation parallelization and genetic operation parallelization. Experimental results show that our algorithm outperforms the sequential geneticalgorithm and competes with other approaches in both test suite size and computational performance. As a result, our algorithm is a promising improvement of the geneticalgorithm for pairwise test suite generation.

To maximize the reliability of a system, the traditional reliability redundancy allocation problem (RRAP) determines the component reliability and level of redundancy for each subsystem. This paper proposes an advanced RRAP that also considers the optimal redundancy strategy, either active or cold standby. In addition, new examples are presented for it. Furthermore, the exact reliability function for a cold standby redundant subsystem with an imperfect detector/switch is suggested, and is expected to replace the previous approximating model that has been used in most related studies. A parallel genetic algorithm for solving the RRAP as a mixed-integer nonlinear programming model is presented, and its performance is compared with those of previous studies by using numerical examples on three benchmark problems.

Considering premature convergence in the searching process of geneticalgorithm, a chaotic migration-based pseudo parallel genetic algorithm (CMPPGA) is proposed, which applies the idea of isolated evolution and information exchanging in distributed parallel genetic algorithm by serial program structure to solve optimization problem of low real-time demand. In this algorithm, asynchronic migration of individuals during parallel evolution is guided by a chaotic migration sequence. Information exchanging among sub-populations is ensured to be efficient and sufficient due to that the sequence is ergodic and stochastic. Simulation study of CMPPGA shows its strong global search ability, superiority to standard geneticalgorithm and high immunity against premature convergence. According to the practice of raw material supply, an inventory programming model is set up and solved by CMPPGA with satisfactory results returned.

This paper aims at postulating a novel strategy in terms of yard crane scheduling. In this study, a dynamic scheduling model using objective programming for yard cranes is initially developed based on rolling-horizon approach. To resolve the NP-complete problem regarding the yard crane scheduling, a hybrid algorithm, which employs heuristic rules and parallel genetic algorithm (PGA), is then employed. Then a simulation model is developed for evaluating this approach. Finally, numerical experiments on a specific container terminal yard are used for system illustration. Computational results suggest that the proposed method is able to solve the problem efficiently. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A parallel genetic algorithm is presented to solve the inverse scattering problem which is formulated as an optimal problem where the cost function to be minimized is the energy norm of the residual, i.e. the difference between the estimated and observed field, and the parameters are the unknown control points for using a spline curve to construct the shape of the object conductor. This approach is computationally heavy since the direct problem needs to be solved in every optimization iteration in order to compute an estimated field. Experiments demonstrate our PGA provides an efficient method for such a problem.

Integrating energy savings into production efficiency is considered as one essential factor in modern industrial practice. A lot of research dealing with energy efficiency problems in the manufacturing process focuses solely on building a mathematical model within a static scenario. However, in the physical world shop scheduling problems are dynamic where unexpected events may lead to changes in the original schedule after the start time. This paper makes an investigation into minimizing the total tardiness, the total energy cost and the disruption to the original schedule in the job shop with new urgent arrival jobs. Because of the NP hardness of this problem, a dual heterogeneous island parallel genetic algorithm with the event driven strategy is developed. To reach a quick response in the dynamic scenario, the method we propose is made with a two-level parallelization where the lower level is appropriate for concurrent execution within GPUs or a multi-core CPU while codes from the two sides can be executed simultaneously at the upper level. In the end, numerical tests are implemented and display that the proposed approach can solve the problem efficiently. Meanwhile, the average results have been improved with a significant execution time decrease. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
