This algorithm can implement detour routing when there are both static and dynamic permanent faults in the network. That means the packet is able to move around the fanlts to the destination with a non-minimum path. In addition, the multi-level congestion control mechanism gives the algorithm the ability to distribute the load over the whole network and to avoid hotspots around the faults. Simulation results demonstrate the advantage of the proposed routing algorithm in terms of average packet latency and packet loss rate compared with negative-first routing algo- rithm and DyAD routing algorithm in the presence of permanent faults. For the proposed algorithm, it can get much less average packet latency and lead to less than 20% packet loss rate.展开更多

A routing in a network assigns to each ordered pair of nodes a fixed path. All communication among nodes must go on this routing. When either a node or a link in a fault tolerant network fails, the communication from one node to another using this faulty element must be sent via one or more intermediate nodes along a sequence of paths determined by this routing. An important and practical problem is how to choose a routing in the network such that intermediate nodes to ensure communication are small for any fault set. Let C d be a directed cycle of order d . In this paper. The author first discusses connectivity of Cartesian product digraphs, then proves that the Cartesian product digraph C d 1 ×C d 2 ×...×C d n (d i≥2,1≤i≤n) has a routing such that at most one intermediate node is needed to ensure transmission of messages among all non faulty nodes so long as the number of faults is less than n . This is a generalization of Dolev et al's result for the n dimensional cube.展开更多

A multi-objective model was presented for the material distribution routing problem in mixed manufacturing systems, and it was solved by a hybrid multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (HMOEA). The characteristics of the HMOEA are as follows: 1) A route pool is employed to preserve the best routes for the population initiation; 2) A specialized best?worst route crossover (BWRC) mode is designed to perform the crossover operators for selecting the best route from Chromosomes 1 to exchange with the worst one in Chromosomes 2, so that the better genes are inherited to the offspring; 3) A route swap mode is used to perform the mutation for improving the convergence speed and preserving the better gene; 4) Local heuristics search methods are applied in this algorithm. Computational study of a practical case shows that the proposed algorithm can decrease the total travel distance by 51.66%, enhance the average vehicle load rate by 37.85%, cut down 15 routes and reduce a deliver vehicle. The convergence speed of HMOEA is faster than that of famous NSGA-II.展开更多

The supervised rules of intelligent concept are introduced into genetic algorithms (GAs) to solve the constraint optimization problem. One of the main characteristics of SGA is its searching space can be limited in feasible regions rather than infeasible regions. The superiority of SGA to other GAs lies in that some supervised search rules in which the information comes from the problems are incorporated into SGA. The simulation results show that SGA improves the ability of searching an optimum solution and accelerates the convergent process up to 20 times.展开更多

Firstly, the permutation array called traveling salesman problem(TSP) route is used to encode the solution, and an effective decoding method to construct the CGVRP route is presented accordingly. Secondly, the k-nearest neighbor(k NN) based initialization is presented to take use of the location information of the customers.

Moreover, the customer adjustment operator and the alternative fuel station(AFS) adjustment operator on the CGVRP route are executed for the elite solutions after competition. In addition, the crossover operator is employed to share information among different solutions. The effect of parameter setting is investigated using the Taguchi method of design-ofexperiment to suggest suitable values. Via numerical tests, it demonstrates the effectiveness of both the competitive search and the decoding method. Moreover, extensive comparative results show that the proposed algorithm is more effective and efficient than the existing methods in solving the CGVRP.展开更多

摘要In order to ensure the reliability of network-on-chip (NoC) under faulty circumstance, a dynamic fault tolerant routing algorithm is proposed. This algorithm can implement detour routing when there are both static and dynamic permanent faults in the network. That means the packet is able to move around the fanlts to the destination with a non-minimum path. In addition, the multi-level congestion control mechanism gives the algorithm the ability to distribute the load over the whole network and to avoid hotspots around the faults. Simulation results demonstrate the advantage of the proposed routing algorithm in terms of average packet latency and packet loss rate compared with negative-first routing algo- rithm and DyAD routing algorithm in the presence of permanent faults. For the proposed algorithm, it can get much less average packet latency and lead to less than 20% packet loss rate.

摘要Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs)play a vital role in smart city Internet of Things(IoT)applications,including environmental monitoring,intelligent transportation,and infrastructure management.However,limited battery capacity,uneven energy consumption,and inefficient clustering and routing mechanisms significantly reduce network lifetime,reliability,and scalability,especially in large-scale IoT deployments.Traditional routing protocols often rely on single-objective optimization or static clustering strategies,which fail to maintain long-term energy balance and stable communication performance.To address these challenges,this paper proposes iPAFAR,a Pareto-based multi-objective clustering and routing framework designed for IoT-enabled WSNs.The proposed model formulates cluster-head selection as a multi-objective optimization problem that considers residual energy,node centrality,load variance,and fairness.A Non-Dominated Sorting Artificial Algae Algorithm(NS-AAA)is used to obtain Pareto-optimal cluster-head configurations,followed by a fuzzy inference system for refined decision-making.To ensure long-term energy stability,a Lyapunov-based routing model is incorporated,and an adaptive re-clustering mechanism is introduced to reduce unnecessary control overhead under dynamic network conditions.The performance of the proposed framework is evaluated through MATLAB-based simulations and compared with existing protocols,including LEACH-M,ME-LEACH,FQA,MKNDPC,RANP-PSO,and BKA-TOA.Experimental results show that iPAFAR achieves approximately 40%lower end-to-end delay,15%–20%higher packet delivery ratio,and 45%–50%improvement in residual energy while maintaining nearly twice the number of active nodes after 1000 simulation rounds.These results confirm that the proposed framework provides improved energy efficiency,load balancing,and routing stability,making it suitable for long-term smart city IoT deployments.
摘要Abstract In this paper, the problem of fault tolerant routings in fault tolerant networks is considered. A routing in a network assigns to each ordered pair of nodes a fixed path. All communication among nodes must go on this routing. When either a node or a link in a fault tolerant network fails, the communication from one node to another using this faulty element must be sent via one or more intermediate nodes along a sequence of paths determined by this routing. An important and practical problem is how to choose a routing in the network such that intermediate nodes to ensure communication are small for any fault set. Let C d be a directed cycle of order d . In this paper. The author first discusses connectivity of Cartesian product digraphs, then proves that the Cartesian product digraph C d 1 ×C d 2 ×...×C d n (d i≥2,1≤i≤n) has a routing such that at most one intermediate node is needed to ensure transmission of messages among all non faulty nodes so long as the number of faults is less than n . This is a generalization of Dolev et al's result for the n dimensional cube.

摘要There were many contradictory evaluation criteria to select next-hop in the delay-disruption tolerance networks(DTN).To solve this problem,an attribute hierarchical model was proposed,in which the predefined criteria were summarized as static identity attributes,forwarding desire attributes and delivery capability attributes(IDC).Based on this model,a novel multi-attributes congestion aware routing(MACAR)scheme with uncertain information for next-hop selection was presented,by adopting an decision theory to aggregate attributes with belief structure and computing partial ordering relations.The simulation results show that MACAR presents higher successful delivery rate,lower average delay and effectively alleviate congestion.

摘要Loop free alternate(LFA)is a routing protection scheme that is currently deployed in commercial routers.However,LFA cannot handle all single network component failure scenarios in traditional networks.As Internet service providers have begun to deploy software defined network(SDN)technology,the Internet will be in a hybrid SDN network where traditional and SDN devices coexist for a long time.Therefore,this study aims to deploy the LFA scheme in hybrid SDN network architecture to handle all possible single network component failure scenarios.First,the deployment of LFA scheme in a hybrid SDN network is described as a 0-1 integer linear programming(ILP)problem.Then,two greedy algorithms,namely,greedy algorithm for LFA based on hybrid SDN(GALFAHSDN)and improved greedy algorithm for LFA based on hybrid SDN(IGALFAHSDN),are proposed to solve the proposed problem.Finally,both algorithms are tested in the simulation environment and the real platform.Experiment results show that GALFAHSDN and IGALFAHSDN can cope with all single network component failure scenarios when only a small number of nodes are upgraded to SDN nodes.The path stretch of the two algorithms is less than 1.36.

摘要In a large-scale wireless sensor network(WSN),densely distributed sensor nodes process a large amount of data.The aggregation of data in a network can consume a great amount of energy.To balance and reduce the energy consumption of nodes in a WSN and extend the network life,this paper proposes a nonuniform clustering routing algorithm based on the improved K-means algorithm.The algorithm uses a clustering method to form and optimize clusters,and it selects appropriate cluster heads to balance network energy consumption and extend the life cycle of the WSN.To ensure that the cluster head(CH)selection in the network is fair and that the location of the selected CH is not concentrated within a certain range,we chose the appropriate CH competition radius.Simulation results show that,compared with LEACH,LEACH-C,and the DEEC clustering algorithm,this algorithm can effectively balance the energy consumption of the CH and extend the network life.

摘要The multi-compartment electric vehicle routing problem(EVRP)with soft time window and multiple charging types(MCEVRP-STW&MCT)is studied,in which electric multi-compartment vehicles that are environmentally friendly but need to be recharged in course of transport process,are employed.A mathematical model for this optimization problem is established with the objective of minimizing the function composed of vehicle cost,distribution cost,time window penalty cost and charging service cost.To solve the problem,an estimation of the distribution algorithm based on Lévy flight(EDA-LF)is proposed to perform a local search at each iteration to prevent the algorithm from falling into local optimum.Experimental results demonstrate that the EDA-LF algorithm can find better solutions and has stronger robustness than the basic EDA algorithm.In addition,when comparing with existing algorithms,the result shows that the EDA-LF can often get better solutions in a relatively short time when solving medium and large-scale instances.Further experiments show that using electric multi-compartment vehicles to deliver incompatible products can produce better results than using traditional fuel vehicles.

摘要A supervised genetic algorithm (SGA) is proposed to solve the quality of service (QoS) routing problems in computer networks. The supervised rules of intelligent concept are introduced into genetic algorithms (GAs) to solve the constraint optimization problem. One of the main characteristics of SGA is its searching space can be limited in feasible regions rather than infeasible regions. The superiority of SGA to other GAs lies in that some supervised search rules in which the information comes from the problems are incorporated into SGA. The simulation results show that SGA improves the ability of searching an optimum solution and accelerates the convergent process up to 20 times.
摘要This paper proposes a route optimization method to improve the performance of route selection in Vehicle Ad-hoc Network(VANET).A novel bionic swarm intelligence algorithm,which is called ant colony algorithm,was introduced into a traditional ad-hoc route algorithm named AODV.Based on the analysis of movement characteristics of vehicles and according to the spatial relationship between the vehicles and the roadside units,the parameters in ant colony system were modified to enhance the performance of the route selection probability rules.When the vehicle moves into the range of several different roadsides,it could build the route by sending some route testing packets as ants,so that the route table can be built by the reply information of test ants,and then the node can establish the optimization path to send the application packets.The simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm has better performance than the traditional AODV algorithm,especially when the vehicle is in higher speed or the number of nodes increases.

摘要In this paper, a memetic algorithm with competition(MAC) is proposed to solve the capacitated green vehicle routing problem(CGVRP). Firstly, the permutation array called traveling salesman problem(TSP) route is used to encode the solution, and an effective decoding method to construct the CGVRP route is presented accordingly. Secondly, the k-nearest neighbor(k NN) based initialization is presented to take use of the location information of the customers. Thirdly, according to the characteristics of the CGVRP, the search operators in the variable neighborhood search(VNS) framework and the simulated annealing(SA) strategy are executed on the TSP route for all solutions. Moreover, the customer adjustment operator and the alternative fuel station(AFS) adjustment operator on the CGVRP route are executed for the elite solutions after competition. In addition, the crossover operator is employed to share information among different solutions. The effect of parameter setting is investigated using the Taguchi method of design-ofexperiment to suggest suitable values. Via numerical tests, it demonstrates the effectiveness of both the competitive search and the decoding method. Moreover, extensive comparative results show that the proposed algorithm is more effective and efficient than the existing methods in solving the CGVRP.
