In this paper, we propose a clustering based multiobjective evolutionary algorithm (CLUMOEA) to deal with the multiobjective optimization problems with irregular Pareto front shapes. CLUMOEA uses a k-means clustering method to discover the population structure by partitioning the solutions into several clusters, and it only allows the solutions in the same cluster to do the reproduction. To reduce the computational cost and balance the exploration and exploitation, the clustering process and evolutionary process are integrated together and they are performed simultaneously. In addition to the clustering, CLUMOEA also uses a distance tournament selection to choose the more similar mating solutions to accelerate the convergence. Besides, a cosine nondominated selection method considering the location and distance information of the solutions are further presented to construct the final population with good diversity. The experimental results show that, compared with some state-of-the-art algorithms, CLUMOEA has significant advantages on dealing with the given test problems with irregular Pareto front shapes.

There is considerable interest in reducing the number of sensors/beacons involved in underwater positioning/navigation systems since this has the potential to drastically reduce the costs and the time spent in deploying, calibrating, and recovering acoustic equipment at sea. Motivated by these considerations, we address the problem of single underwater target positioning based on acoustic range measurements between the target and a moving sensor at the sea surface. In particular, the goal of the present work is to compute optimal geometric trajectories for the surface sensor that will, in a well defined sense, maximize the range-related information available for underwater target positioning and tracking. To this effect, the Fisher Information Matrix and the maximization of its determinant are used to determine the sensor trajectory that yields the most accurate positioning of the target, while the latter describes a preplanned trajectory. It is shown that the optimal trajectory depends on the velocity of the sensor, the velocity and trajectory of the target, the sampling time between measurements, the measurement error model, and the number of measurements used to compute the FIM. Simulation examples illustrate the key results derived.

To solve a nonlinear constrained economic load dispatch (ELD) problem in which the minimized generation cost is taken as objective and valve point effect of thermal units and operation constraints of power grid are taken into account. A saturation memetic algorithm was presented. To avoid the blindness in the search by the proposed using saturation increase efficiency and using adaptive penalty function to deal constraints. Calculation results of 3-machine system verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Compared with the other existing techniques, the proposed algorithm has been found to perform better. This method seems to be a promising alternative approach for solving the ELD problems in practical power system.

A novel fault integration method is proposed in this paper for manufacturing system models given in the form of timed colored Petri nets. The faults are assumed to have a stochastic nature and are represented in the form of transitions firing in stochastic way with known fault probabilities in the system model. A novel fault effect propagation method was also developed, that can be used to compute the probabilities of the possible faulty and non-faulty intermediate and final states of the system using the probabilities of faults and the occurrence graph. The faultless and fault containing models were implemented in CPNTools both for non-timed and timed cases. A software module was also developed for the proposed probabilistic fault propagation analysis. The proposed methods and tools were demonstrated using a simple case study.

A novel on-line diagnosis method is proposed in this paper that uses a qualitative dynamic model of the system and its colored Petri nets model. The model contains both the normal and the possible faulty operational modes of the system. The deviation between the normal and faulty modes is characterized based on P-HAZID tables. The actual system state can be searched on the occurrence graph constructed in advance. Starting from this node the possible consequences and root causes can be determined on-line with traversing on the graph. The proposed method is illustrated on simple case studies.

This is a milestone paper of the Coordinating Committee on Manufacturing and Logistics Systems (CC5) of the International Federation of Automatic control (IFAC). Classical applications of controlengineering and information and communication technology (ICT) in production and logistics are often done in a rigid, centralized and hierarchical way. These inflexible approaches are typically not able to cope with the complexities of the manufacturing environment, such as the instabilities, uncertainties and abrupt changes caused by internal and external disturbances, or a large number and variety of interacting, interdependent elements. A paradigm shift, e.g., novel organizing principles and methods, is needed for supporting the interoperability of dynamic alliances of agile and networked systems. Several solution proposals argue that the future of manufacturing and logistics lies in network-like, dynamic, open and reconfigurable systems of cooperative autonomous entities. The paper overviews various distributed approaches and technologies of controlengineering and ICT that can support the realization of cooperative structures from the resource level to the level of networked enterprises. Standard results as well as recent advances from control theory, through cooperative game theory, distributed machine learning to holonic systems, cooperative enterprise modelling, system integration, and autonomous logistics processes are surveyed. A special emphasis is put on the theoretical developments and industrial applications of Robustly Feasible Model Predictive control (RFMPC). Two case studies are also discussed: i) a holonic, PROSA-based approach to generate short-term forecasts for an additive manufacturing system by means of a delegate multi-agent system (D-MAS); and ii) an application of distributed RFMPC to a drinking water distribution system.

This paper presents a motor function rehabilitation system for the disabled with virtual reality. The design of the entire system is established on the SIGVerse virtual platform. The patient can complete the rehabilitation training immersed in a virtual environment. Firstly, the motion information of the patient is recognized by Kinect, and regenerated by the avatar in the virtual environment accurately. At the same time, the view of the avatar can be presented to the patient by HMD. Though this method, the patient can exposure to the virtual environment during the rehabilitation training, so that they can feel like their real and health motions in the virtual environment. Additionally, the EMG signals of the activated muscle are collected, and they can provide a feedback of contraction intensities of the muscle to the patient in real time. Moreover, we provide an electrical stimulation to the corresponding muscle. As a result, the patient can have the perception of muscle contractions.

In the very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) regime, fatigue damage starts by the formation of slip bands within the softer austenite phase. By high energy X-ray diffraction it was shown that local austenite plasticity due to elastic/plastic anisotropy results in the gradual formation of residual stresses within the ferrite grains. Consequently, cracks are initiated either transgranularly or intergranularly at austenite/ferrite phase boundaries or ferrite/ferrite grain boundaries in the vicinity of the austenite slip bands. By means of ultrasonic fatigue testing of miniature specimens in combination with (i) in-situ observation, (ii) electron back- scatter diffraction, (iii) synchrotron computer tomography, and (vi) high-energy X-ray diffraction, the fatigue crack initiation process and the interactions of the cracks with the first microstructural barriers were quantified. By implementing the results in a numerical modeling approach, the experimental observation that the first barrier seems to limit the VHCF life was supported.

UAV can work in places that are dangerous, or not easy to reach for humans. However, due to active control and operating difficulties, it is still a challenge to develop fully autonomous flight in complex environments. This paper applies a novel heuristic dynamic programming for the UAV heading optimal tracking controller design, using kernel-based heuristic dynamic programming (KHDP). Kernel-based HDP is developed by integrating kernel methods and approximately linear dependence (ALD) analysis with the critic learning of HDP algorithm. Compared with conventional HDP where neural networks are widely used and their features were manually designed, the proposed algorithm can obtain better generalization capability and learning efficiency through applying the sparse kernel machine into the critic learning process of HDP algorithm. Simulation and experimental results of UAV heading optimal tracking control problems demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed kernel-based HDP algorithm.
