Mayfly algorithm (MA) is a bioinspired algorithm based on population proposed in recent years and has been applied to many engineering problems successfully. However, it has too many parameters, which makes it difficult to set and adjust a set of appropriate parameters for different problems. In order to avoid adjusting parameters, a bioinspired bare bones mayfly algorithm (BBMA) is proposed. The BBMA adopts Gaussian distribution and Levy flight, which improves the convergence speed and accuracy of the algorithm and makes better exploration and exploitation of the search region. The minimum spanning tree (MST) problem is a classic combinatorial optimization problem. This study provides a mathematical model for solving a variant of the MST problem, in which all points and solutions are on a sphere. Finally, the BBMA is used to solve the large-scale spherical MST problems. By comparing and analyzing the results of BBMA and other swarm intelligence algorithms in sixteen scales, the experimental results illustrate that the proposed algorithm is superior to other algorithms for the MST problems on a sphere.

To extend the lifetime of a multihop network by addressing energy shortages in wireless nodes, we apply wireless energy transfer (WET) technology to the multihop transmission. Considering a linear multihop topology, we establish a system model for a WET-enabled multihop transmission and formulate an optimization problem that obtains the optimal WET time of each node to maximize the lifetime of multihop networks. To solve this problem, we adopt a flocking model inspired by the similarity between flocking behaviors and WET-enabled multihop transmissions. Applying the underlying principles of the flocking model, we propose a bioinspired cooperative WET (BiCoWET) algorithm, in which each node adjusts its own WET time to equalize the lifetime of all nodes in a distributed manner. Theoretical analysis verifies that the proposed BiCoWET algorithm achieves optimality with exponential convergence. The intensive simulation shows that the proposed BiCoWET outperforms the conventional multihop transmission methods without WET and maximizes the network lifetime by equalizing the lifetime of all nodes.

Using a network of mobile sensors to track and map a dynamic spatio-temporal process in the environment is one of the current challenges in multi-agent systems. In this work, a distributed probabilistic multi-agent algorithm inspired by the bacte- rium foraging behavior is presented. The novelty of the algorithm lies in being capable of tracking and mapping a spa- tio-temporal quantity without the need of machine learning, estimation algorithms or future planning. This is unlike most current techniques that rely heavily on machine learning to estimate the distribution as well as the profile of spatio-temporal quantities. The experimental studies carried out in this work show that the algorithm works well by following the concentration gradient of a dynamic plume created under diffusive conditions. Furthermore, the algorithm is inherently capable of finding the source of a diffusive spatio-temporal quantity as well as performing environmental exploration. It is computationally tractable for simple agents, shown to adapt to its environment and can deal successfully with noise in sensor readings as well as in robot dynamics.

Harris Hawks Optimizer (HHO) is a recent well-established optimizer based on the hunting characteristics of Harris hawks, which shows excellent efficiency in solving a variety of optimization issues. However, it undergoes weak global search capability because of the levy distribution in its optimization process. In this paper, a variant of HHO is proposed using Crisscross Optimization algorithm (CSO) to compensate for the shortcomings of original HHO. The novel developed optimizer called Crisscross Harris Hawks Optimizer (CCHHO), which can effectively achieve high-quality solutions with accelerated convergence on a variety of optimization tasks. In the proposed algorithm, the vertical crossover strategy of CSO is used for adjusting the exploitative ability adaptively to alleviate the local optimum;the horizontal crossover strategy of CSO is considered as an operator for boosting explorative trend;and the competitive operator is adopted to accelerate the convergence rate. The effectiveness of the proposed optimizer is evaluated using 4 kinds of benchmark functions, 3 constrained engineering optimization issues and feature selection problems on 13 datasets from the UCI repository. Comparing with nine conventional intelligence algorithms and 9 state-of-the-art algorithms, the statistical results reveal that the proposed CCHHO is significantly more effective than HHO, CSO, CCNMHHO and other competitors, and its advantage is not influenced by the increase of problems’ dimensions. Additionally, experimental results also illustrate that the proposed CCHHO outperforms some existing optimizers in working out engineering design optimization;for feature selection problems, it is superior to other feature selection methods including CCNMHHO in terms of fitness, error rate and length of selected features.

Large-scale applications of the Internet of Things (IoT) necessitate significant computing tasks and storage resources that are progressively installed in the cloud environment. Related to classical computing models, the features of the cloud, such as pay-as-you-go, indefinite expansions, and dynamic acquisition, signify various services to these applications utilizing the IoT structure. A major challenge is to fulfill the quality of service necessities but schedule tasks to resources. The resource allocation scheme is affected by different undefined reasons in real-time platforms. Several works have considered the factors in the design of effective task scheduling techniques. In this context, this research addresses the issue of resource allocation and management in an IoT-enabled CC environment by designing a novel quasi-oppositional Aquila optimizer-based task scheduling (QOAO-TS) technique. The QOAO technique involves the integration of quasi-oppositional-based learning with an Aquila optimizer (AO). The traditional AO is stimulated by Aquila's behavior while catching the prey, and the QOAO is derived to improve the performance of the AO. The QOAO-TS technique aims to fulfill the makespan by accomplishing the optimum task scheduling process. The proposed QOAO-TS technique considers the relationship among task scheduling and satisfies the client's needs by minimizing the makespan. A wide range of simulations take place, and the results are investigated in terms of the span, throughput, flow time, lateness, and utilization ratio.

Navigation of male moths towards females during the mating search offers a unique perspective on the exploration-exploitation (EE) model in decision-making. This study uses the EE model to explain male moth pheromone-driven flight paths. Wind tunnel measurements and three-dimensional tracking using infrared cameras have been leveraged to gain insights into male moth behaviour. During the experiments in the wind tunnel, disturbance to the airflow has been added and the effect of increased fluctuations on moth flights has been analysed, in the context of the proposed EE model. The exploration and exploitation phases are separated using a genetic algorithm to the experimentally obtained dataset of moth three-dimensional trajectories. First, the exploration-to-exploitation rate (EER) increases with distance from the source of the female pheromone is demonstrated, which can be explained in the context of the EE model. Furthermore, our findings reveal a compelling relationship between EER and increased flow fluctuations near the pheromone source. Using an olfactory navigation simulation and our moth-inspired navigation model, the phenomenon where male moths exhibit an enhanced EER as turbulence levels increase is explained. This research extends our understanding of optimal navigation strategies based on general biological EE models and supports the development of bioinspired navigation algorithms.

The paper deals with one of the most important VLSI design problem - partitioning of VLSI fragments. This problem belongs to the NP-hard problems class, and there are no accuracy method to solve it. The authors suggest a new heuristic approach based on the glowworm's behavior in nature. This method allows effectively to solve the problem of preliminary convergence by the use of probabilistic heuristics. A modified statement of the partitioning problem is made. The modification consists in simulation of circuit as a bigraph, where each vertices simulate either an element or a net, and each edges-as incidence relation between them. To carry out an computational experiments there were developed a software. As a result the authors have received an estimation of time complexity, represented by O(n2).
