The present work considers a scenario that a multi-actuator-sensor network neutralizes poisonous gas and tracks the pollution sources in a bounded area. A novel algorithm is proposed to minimize the system information uncertainty while reaching balance on the workload of actuators. The method combines the centroidal Voronoi tessellations (CVT) with a consensus strategy. The CVT of the region insures a local optimal position configuration of the actuators, thus the sensing uncertainty can be minimized. The consensus algorithm utilizes the connection information among actuators, and helps them to reach a common workload. The consensus component will be terminated or suppressed when the workload is averaged. The consensus component may postpone the realization of CVT configuration. But it could be viewed as a perturbation that helps the actuators jump out of the local optimal CVT configuration. As a result, the information uncertainty may be further reduced. Comparison is drawn between the pure CVT algorithm and the method with consensus strategy. Simulations validated the proposed approach.

Currently, the earlier detection, diagnosis and treatment to breast cancer still mainly depend on physicians' experience and knowledge. Case-Based Reasoning(CBR) mimics oncologists' real thinking process and therefore is appropriate to the diagnosis decision making. In CBR, weight derivation as a key step is commonly conducted by expert score approaches using Delphi method. The accuracy of case matching largely changes with the selection and experience of experts. In this paper, information entropy for weight determination is introduced into the CBR. We conduct experimental studies to compare the performance of Delphi method and information entropy. The results suggest that: generally, information entropy is a better approach to weight derivation.

This paper studies the loading coordinations for large-population autonomous individual (plug-in) electric vehicles (EVs) and a few controllable bulk loads, e.g. EV fleets, pumped storage hydro units, and so on. Due to the computational infeasibility of the centralized coordination methods to the underlying large-population systems, in this paper we develop a novel game-based decentralized coordination strategy. Following the proposed decentralized strategy update mechanism and under some mild conditions, the system may quickly converge to a nearly valley-fill Nash equilibrium. The results are illustrated with numerical examples.

Differential Evolution (DE) is a simple and efficient numerical optimization method. Most DE variants in the literature adopt fixed population size. This paper incorporates into DE the mechanisms of lifetime and extinction which regulate DE's population size in an adaptive manner. The population size is adjusted according to the online progress of fitness improvement. Two schemes of inserting new individuals are proposed to match different mechanisms respectively. The performance of these innovations is examined through the optimization of benchmark problems. The results show that the proposed adaptive population sizing strategy is efficient for improving the convergence and efficiency of the DE.

In order to improve the precision of the azimuth measured by mobile robot's electronic compass, this paper proposes a new calibration method based on Fourier Neural Network trained by Modified Particle Swarm Optimization (MPSO-FNN). This method makes use of Fourier Neural Network (FNN) to establish the error compensation model of electronic compass's azimuth, and introduces Modified Particle Swarm Optimization (MPSO) algorithm to optimize the weights of neural network. Thus the comparatively accurate error model of azimuth is obtained to compensate the output of electronic compass. This method not only has strong nonlinear approximation capability, but also overcomes the neural networks' shortcomings which are too slow convergence speed, oscillation, and easy to fall into local optimum and sensitive to the initial values. Experimental results demonstrate that after calibrated by this method, the range of azimuth error reduces to -0.35°~0.70° from -3.4°~25.2°, and the average value of absolute error is only 0.30°.
