Several meta-heuristic algorithms have shown effectiveness in task scheduling, among which the relatively recent Willow Catkin Optimization (WCO) algorithm has demonstrated potential, albeit with apparent needs for enhanced global search capability and convergence speed. To address these limitations of WCO in cloud computing task scheduling, this paper introduces an improved version termed the Advanced Willow Catkin Optimization (AWCO) algorithm. AWCO enhances the algorithm’s performance by augmenting its global search capability through a quasi-opposition-based learning strategy and accelerating its convergence speed via sinusoidal mapping. A comprehensive evaluation utilizing the CEC2014 benchmark suite, comprising 30 test functions, demonstrates that AWCO achieves superior optimization outcomes, surpassing conventional WCO and a range of established meta-heuristics. The proposed algorithm also considers trade-offs among the cost, makespan, and load balancing objectives. Experimental results of AWCO are compared with those obtained using the other meta-heuristics, illustrating that the proposed algorithm provides superior performance in task scheduling. The method offers a robust foundation for enhancing the utilization of cloud computing resources in the domain of task scheduling within a cloud computing environment.展开更多

摘要In response to the challenges of inadequate predictive accuracy and limited generalization capability in data-driven modeling for the mechanical properties of the cold-rolled strip steel,a predictive modeling method named RFR-WOA is developed based on random forest regression(RFR)and whale optimization algorithm(WOA).Firstly,using Pearson and Spearman correlation analysis and Gini coefficient importance ranking on an actual production dataset containing 37,878 samples,22 key variables are selected as model inputs from 112 variables that affect mechanical properties.Subsequently,an RFR-based predictive model for the mechanical properties of cold-rolled strip steel is constructed.Then,with the combination of the coefficient of determination(R2)and root mean square error as the optimization objective,the hyperparameters of RFR model are iteratively optimized using WOA,and better predictive effectiveness is obtained.Finally,the mechanical properties prediction model based on RFR-WOA is compared with models established using deep neural networks,convolutional neural networks,and other methods.The test results on 9469 samples of actual production data show that the model developed present has better predictive accuracy and generalization capability.
摘要The growing volume of digital text complicates the extraction of relevant information from unstructured data.Transformer models such as BERT,ALBERT,and RoBERTa are powerful,but they may face challenges in hyperparameter optimization and adaptation to new domains.To address this issue,a hybrid ensemble BERT model is suggested,optimized using the Walrus Optimization Algorithm(WaOA).The framework applies PCA to reduce dimensionality,ontology normalization,and K-means clustering to improve semantic comprehension.Experimental results on the SQuAD 2.0 and MS MARCO datasets show that the proposed model outperforms the baseline models.WaOA(Weighted Average of Attention)can improve convergence,reduce training time,and enhance prediction accuracy.The model also improves the semantic relevance of the extracted information.Attention maps visualize the model’s focus on relevant query terms.The method enhances efficiency and cuts redundancy.It also provides a more generalized approach to different query types.The framework promotes consistent and reliable performance across different data conditions,including varying input formats and varying noise levels.It can be generalized to multilingual and domain-specific applications.Overall,the framework provides a scalable and reliable solution to real-world information extraction.

摘要Optimization problems are prevalent in various fields of science and engineering,with several real-world applications characterized by high dimensionality and complex search landscapes.Starfish optimization algorithm(SFOA)is a recently optimizer inspired by swarm intelligence,which is effective for numerical optimization,but it may encounter premature and local convergence for complex optimization problems.To address these challenges,this paper proposes the multi-strategy enhanced crested porcupine-starfish optimization algorithm(MCPSFOA).The core innovation of MCPSFOA lies in employing a hybrid strategy to improve SFOA,which integrates the exploratory mechanisms of SFOA with the diverse search capacity of the Crested Porcupine Optimizer(CPO).This synergy enhances MCPSFOA’s ability to navigate complex and multimodal search spaces.To further prevent premature convergence,MCPSFOA incorporates Lévy flight,leveraging its characteristic long and short jump patterns to enable large-scale exploration and escape from local optima.Subsequently,Gaussian mutation is applied for precise solution tuning,introducing controlled perturbations that enhance accuracy and mitigate the risk of insufficient exploitation.Notably,the population diversity enhancement mechanism periodically identifies and resets stagnant individuals,thereby consistently revitalizing population variety throughout the optimization process.MCPSFOA is rigorously evaluated on 24 classical benchmark functions(including high-dimensional cases),the CEC2017 suite,and the CEC2022 suite.MCPSFOA achieves superior overall performance with Friedman mean ranks of 2.208,2.310 and 2.417 on these benchmark functions,outperforming 11 state-of-the-art algorithms.Furthermore,the practical applicability of MCPSFOA is confirmed through its successful application to five engineering optimization cases,where it also yields excellent results.In conclusion,MCPSFOA is not only a highly effective and reliable optimizer for benchmark functions,but also a practical tool for solving real-world optimization problems.
摘要Correlation function of acceleration responses-based damage identificationmethods has been developed and employed,while they still face the difficulty in identifying local orminor structural damages.To deal with this issue,a robust structural damage identification method is developed,integrating a modified holistic swarm optimization(MHSO)algorithm with a hybrid objective function.The MHSO is developed by combining Hammersley sequencebased population initialization,chaotic search around the worst solution,and Hooke-Jeeves pattern search around the best solution,thereby improving both global exploration and local exploitation capabilities.A hybrid objective function is constructed by merging acceleration correlation function-based and strain correlation function-based objective functions,effectively leveraging the complementary sensitivities of global and local responses.To further suppress spurious solutions and promote sparsity in parameter estimation,an additional L0.5 regularization term is introduced.The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through numerical simulations on a simply supported beam and a steel girder benchmark structure.Comparative studies with sequential quadratic programming,genetic algorithm,andHSO demonstrate that theMHSOachieves superior accuracy and convergence efficiency,even with limited sensors and 20%noise-contaminated measurements.Results highlight that the hybrid objective function significantly enhances the detection of both major and minor damages,while the inclusion of sparse regularization improves robustness against noise and model uncertainties.The findings indicate that the proposed framework provides a reliable and computationally efficient solution for simultaneous localization and quantification of structural damages,offering promising applicability to real-world structural health monitoring scenarios.
摘要To enhance the accuracy of path planning of unmanned surface vehicles(USVs),the particle swarm optimization algorithm(PSO)is improved based on species migration strategies observed in ecology.By incorporating the concept of particle sight distance,an improved algorithm,called SD-IPSO,is proposed for the real-time autonomous navigation of USVs in marine environments.The algorithm refines the individual behavior pattern of particles in the population,effectively improving both local and global search capabilities while avoiding premature convergence.The effectiveness of the algorithm is validated using standard test functions from CEC-2017 function library,assessing it from multiple dimensions.Sensitivity analysis is conducted on key parameters in the algorithm,including particle sight distance and population size.Results indicate that compared with PSO,SD-IPSO demonstrates significant advantages in optimization accuracy and convergence speed.The application of SD-IPSO in path planning is further investigated through a 14-point traveling salesman problem(TSP)example and navigation autonomous tests of USVs in marine environments.Findings demonstrate that the proposed algorithm exhibits superior optimization capabilities and can effectively address the path planning challenges of USVs.
摘要Global Navigation Satellite Systems(GNSSs)are the specific term utilized with satellite constellation to acquire regional or global services.GNSS sensors use pseudo-distance measurement to estimate the position,velocity,and time(PVT).Several GNSS devices are exposed to detect spoofing attacks due to the use of unsafe locations.In addition,misleading signals are intentionally used to generate timing and position,and GNSS signal spoofing provides a constant risk to consumers.In past works,the implementation of the Global Positioning System(GPS)in autonomous vehicle navigation might be endangered by spoofing.To mitigate these issues,this task develops a hybrid machine-learning method for mitigating and detecting GNSS spoofing attacks.The developed model is processed with three phases:data collection,feature extraction,and detection.Initially,the required data is taken from the standard resource.Then,the data is given to the feature extraction phase.The features of the data are retrieved using the principal component analysis(PCA)and t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding(t-SNE)model.The features obtained from the collected data are transferred to the detection phase.In the final phase,the GNSS spoofing detection and mitigation is executed using a machine learning method called as hybridized adaptive Bayesian learning and multi-layer perceptron(HABMLP).Enhanced osprey optimization algorithm(EOOA)is utilized for optimizing the variables to enhance the efficacy of models and achieves greater performance than other standard models.
摘要This research presents a novel nature-inspired metaheuristic optimization algorithm,called theNarwhale Optimization Algorithm(NWOA).The algorithm draws inspiration from the foraging and prey-hunting strategies of narwhals,“unicorns of the sea”,particularly the use of their distinctive spiral tusks,which play significant roles in hunting,searching prey,navigation,echolocation,and complex social interaction.Particularly,the NWOA imitates the foraging strategies and techniques of narwhals when hunting for prey but focuses mainly on the cooperative and exploratory behavior shown during group hunting and in the use of their tusks in sensing and locating prey under the Arctic ice.These functions provide a strong assessment basis for investigating the algorithm’s prowess at balancing exploration and exploitation,convergence speed,and solution accuracy.The performance of the NWOA is evaluated on 30 benchmark test functions.A comparison study using the Grey Wolf Optimizer(GWO),Whale Optimization Algorithm(WOA),Perfumer Optimization Algorithm(POA),Candle Flame Optimization(CFO)Algorithm,Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)Algorithm,and Genetic Algorithm(GA)validates the results.As evidenced in the experimental results,NWOA is capable of yielding competitive outcomes among these well-known optimizers,whereas in several instances.These results suggest thatNWOAhas proven to be an effective and robust optimization tool suitable for solving many different complex optimization problems from the real world.
摘要The uncertain nature of mapping user tasks to Virtual Machines(VMs) causes system failure or execution delay in Cloud Computing.To maximize cloud resource throughput and decrease user response time,load balancing is needed.Possible load balancing is needed to overcome user task execution delay and system failure.Most swarm intelligent dynamic load balancing solutions that used hybrid metaheuristic algorithms failed to balance exploitation and exploration.Most load balancing methods were insufficient to handle the growing uncertainty in job distribution to VMs.Thus,the Hybrid Spotted Hyena and Whale Optimization Algorithm-based Dynamic Load Balancing Mechanism(HSHWOA) partitions traffic among numerous VMs or servers to guarantee user chores are completed quickly.This load balancing approach improved performance by considering average network latency,dependability,and throughput.This hybridization of SHOA and WOA aims to improve the trade-off between exploration and exploitation,assign jobs to VMs with more solution diversity,and prevent the solution from reaching a local optimality.Pysim-based experimental verification and testing for the proposed HSHWOA showed a 12.38% improvement in minimized makespan,16.21% increase in mean throughput,and 14.84% increase in network stability compared to baseline load balancing strategies like Fractional Improved Whale Social Optimization Based VM Migration Strategy FIWSOA,HDWOA,and Binary Bird Swap.
摘要The widespread adoption of cloud computing has underscored the critical importance of efficient resource allocation and management, particularly in task scheduling, which involves assigning tasks to computing resources for optimized resource utilization. Several meta-heuristic algorithms have shown effectiveness in task scheduling, among which the relatively recent Willow Catkin Optimization (WCO) algorithm has demonstrated potential, albeit with apparent needs for enhanced global search capability and convergence speed. To address these limitations of WCO in cloud computing task scheduling, this paper introduces an improved version termed the Advanced Willow Catkin Optimization (AWCO) algorithm. AWCO enhances the algorithm’s performance by augmenting its global search capability through a quasi-opposition-based learning strategy and accelerating its convergence speed via sinusoidal mapping. A comprehensive evaluation utilizing the CEC2014 benchmark suite, comprising 30 test functions, demonstrates that AWCO achieves superior optimization outcomes, surpassing conventional WCO and a range of established meta-heuristics. The proposed algorithm also considers trade-offs among the cost, makespan, and load balancing objectives. Experimental results of AWCO are compared with those obtained using the other meta-heuristics, illustrating that the proposed algorithm provides superior performance in task scheduling. The method offers a robust foundation for enhancing the utilization of cloud computing resources in the domain of task scheduling within a cloud computing environment.

摘要Software defect prediction(SDP)aims to find a reliable method to predict defects in specific software projects and help software engineers allocate limited resources to release high-quality software products.Software defect prediction can be effectively performed using traditional features,but there are some redundant or irrelevant features in them(the presence or absence of this feature has little effect on the prediction results).These problems can be solved using feature selection.However,existing feature selection methods have shortcomings such as insignificant dimensionality reduction effect and low classification accuracy of the selected optimal feature subset.In order to reduce the impact of these shortcomings,this paper proposes a new feature selection method Cubic TraverseMa Beluga whale optimization algorithm(CTMBWO)based on the improved Beluga whale optimization algorithm(BWO).The goal of this study is to determine how well the CTMBWO can extract the features that are most important for correctly predicting software defects,improve the accuracy of fault prediction,reduce the number of the selected feature and mitigate the risk of overfitting,thereby achieving more efficient resource utilization and better distribution of test workload.The CTMBWO comprises three main stages:preprocessing the dataset,selecting relevant features,and evaluating the classification performance of the model.The novel feature selection method can effectively improve the performance of SDP.This study performs experiments on two software defect datasets(PROMISE,NASA)and shows the method’s classification performance using four detailed evaluation metrics,Accuracy,F1-score,MCC,AUC and Recall.The results indicate that the approach presented in this paper achieves outstanding classification performance on both datasets and has significant improvement over the baseline models.
