Despite the extensive use of IoT and mobile devices in the different applications, their computing power, memory, and battery life are still limited. Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) has recently emerged to address the drawbacks of these limitations. With MEC on the network's edge, mobile and IoT devices can offload their computing operations to adjacent edge servers or remote cloud servers. However, task offloading is still a challenging research issue, and it is necessary to improve the overall Quality of Service (QoS) and attain optimized performance and resource utilization. Another crucial issue that is usually overlooked while handling this matter is offloading an application that consists of dependent tasks. In this study, we suggest a Refined whale optimization algorithm (RWOA) for solving the multiuser dependent tasks offloading problem in the Edge-Cloud computing environment with three objectives: 1- minimizing the application execution latency, 2- minimizing the energy consumption of end devices, and 3- the charging cost for used resources. We also avoid the traditional binary planning mechanisms by allowing each task to be partially processed simultaneously at three processing locations (local device, MEC, cloud). We compare RWOA with other Optimizers, and the results demonstrate that the RWOA has optimized the fitness by 52.7% relative to the second best comparison optimizer.

This study introduced a multi-objective optimization framework for vortex pumps, utilizing the whale optimization algorithm (WOA) and Gaussian process regression (GPR) to enhance energy performance under various operating conditions. Initially, 12 design parameters were analysed using the Plackett-Burman test, identifying five critical hydraulic parameters. These parameters formed the basis for optimizing the pump's head and weighted efficiency. A surrogate model database was created using Latin hypercube sampling, and GPR facilitated the optimization process. The application of WOA resulted in a 1.94 m increase in head, a 1.72% rise in efficiency, and a 1.69% improvement in weighted efficiency. Entropy production and rigid vorticity analysis further showed a significant reduction in energy loss across pump components. This research offers a robust framework for the efficient and energy-saving design of vortex pumps.

The whale optimization algorithm (WOA) is a swarm intelligence optimizationalgorithm developed by Mirjalili and Lewis in 2016 based on the foraging behavior of whales. Because of its simplicity and high efficiency, scholars have adopted this algorithm to address various problems in different disciplines. However, standard WOA has the problems of slow convergence speed, insufficient search accuracy, and limited ability to solve complex problems. In order to solve these problems, this paper proposes a multi-strategy hybrid whalealgorithm (MHWOA). Firstly, the calculation speed is accelerated by modifying the parameters;then, the accuracy of the algorithm is improved by incorporating the scatter search strategy;finally, the simulated annealing algorithm is integrated to improve its ability to solve complex problems. The performance differences between MHWOA, the baseline algorithm, and the improved WOA algorithm are compared using the CEC2017 test suite and three real-world engineering problems. In the comparison of processing results of various problems, the calculation accuracy of MHWOA is improved by no less than 1.96%, the calculation error is reduced by no less than 1.83%, and the execution time is improved by no less than 5.6%. In the CNN-MHWOA-based time series electricity load forecasting problem, MHWOA shows the advantages of reduced error and improved fitting degree with the true value compared with the standard WOA.

The development of numerous wireless sensor network (WSN) applications has sparked considerable interest in the use of these networks across various fields. These networks, which do not require infrastructure and are self-organizing, can be rapidly deployed in most locations to collect information about environmental phenomena and transmit it to relevant hubs for appropriate action in emergency situations. Sensor nodes (SNs) in WSNs function as both sensors and relay nodes in relation to one another. As energy in these networks is limited, the nodes are supplied with only a specific amount of power. Because these networks are often located in difficult and remote areas, node batteries cannot be recharged or replaced. As a result, energy conservation is one of the most pressing concerns in these networks. Consequently, this study proposes a novel optimization technique for clustering WSNs, combining the whaleoptimization method and the genetic algorithm. In this work, information is transferred between cluster heads (CHs) and the sink using a combination of whaleoptimization and evolutionary algorithms, focusing on reducing intracluster distances and energy consumption in cluster members (CMs), while achieving near-optimal routing. The implementation results demonstrate that the proposed technique outperforms previous methods in terms of energy consumption, efficiency, delivery rate, and packet transmission latency, considering the evolutionary capabilities of both the whale optimization algorithm and the genetic algorithm.

In this work, a neural network sliding mode control (SMC) scheme is proposed to address the tracking issue of discrete-time multi-agent systems (MASs) with unknown nonlinearities by combining the preview mechanism and whale optimization algorithm. An augmented error system (AES) was constructed, which includes previewable reference and disturbance signals. A new sliding mode surface is designed for AES, and the stability criteria are proposed for the sliding mode dynamics. Utilizing the preview mechanism and whale optimization algorithm, the neural network-based SMC law is designed to satisfy the discrete-time reachability condition. Two simulation examples are provided to demonstrate that the proposed control scheme can effectively enhance the tracking performance of MASs.

Multi-robot path planning is challenging and has increasingly attracted attention with its widespread applications. This article proposes an improved whale optimization algorithm (WOA) with Refracted opposition-based learning and Quantum behaviour (RQWOA). The algorithm is able to plan smooth and collisionless paths for robots combining cubic spline interpolation and multi-robot coordination. A quantum behavioural mechanism is used to coordinate the evolution of the whale population during the variable phase to increase the population quality and balance the exploration and exploitation capabilities of the WOA. Simultaneously, refracted opposition-based learning is introduced to improve the algorithm's optimization accuracy and convergence speed. The RQWOA was compared with seven efficient algorithms in experiments on classical test functions and multi-robot path planning cases. The results of these methods were tested statistically. The experimental results indicate that the RQWOA has superior solution accuracy. The RQWOA is highly competitive in terms of pathlength and stability in solving multi-robot path planning problems.

whale optimization algorithm (WOA) is a swarm-based optimizationalgorithm with exceptional performance and significant originality. In this study, a novel variant of WOA called nonlinear adaptive weight-based mutated WOA (NAWMWOA) is proposed to overcome the shortcomings of original WOA such as easily falling into local optimum and slow convergence speed. In detail, the proposed NAWMWOA includes three novel strategies as comparing with original WOA. Firstly, a nonlinear convergence factor is embedded into the original WOA to balance exploration and exploitation ability. The second improvement is an adaptive weight strategy, which can enhance the exploratory searching trends and improve the solution accuracy. Moreover, the thirdly proposed hybrid mutation strategy has the function of increasing the accuracy and jumping out of the local optimum. The combination of the three strategies significantly improve convergence efficiency and search accuracy of original WOA. To verify the remarkable performance of the proposed NAWMWOA, a series of illustrious WOA variants and state-of-the-art intelligent algorithms is compared with the NAWMWOA on 37 benchmark functions and three typical engineering problems. The details of experimental and statistics results illustrate that the presented NAWMWOA has higher convergence efficiency and better solution accuracy. As a conclusion, the proposed NAWMWOA is a competitive and outstanding algorithm that can effectively solve optimization problems in practical engineering.

Federated prediction models for energy prosumers create a global model by combining insights from local machine learning models trained on-site without centralizing the data. For time series energy data, this collaborative approach faces challenges due to the non-IID nature of the data, variations in generation patterns, the high number of model parameters, and convergence issues, leading to poor prediction accuracy. This paper introduces a novel federated learning model, FedWOA, which uses the whale optimization algorithm to determine optimal aggregation coefficients based on the local model weight vectors by pondering the updates considering the model performance and data dimensionality construct the global shared model. To handle the non-IID data the prosumers were clustered based on the similarity of their energy profiles using KMeans. FedWOA improves the prediction quality at the prosumer site, with a 16 % average reduction of the mean absolute error compared to FedAVG while demonstrating good convergence and reduced loss.
