AbstractThe operational efficacy of the grid computing system depends mainly on the proper management of grid resources to carry out the various jobs that users send to the grid. The paper explores an alternative way of efficiently searching, matching, and allocating distributed grid resources to jobs in such a way that the resource demand of each grid user job is met. A proposal of resource selection method that is based on the concept of genetic algorithm (GA) using populations based on multisets is made. Furthermore, the paper presents a hybrid GA-based scheduling framework that efficiently searches for the best available resources for user jobs in a typical grid computing environment. For the proposed resource allocation method, additional mechanisms (populations based on multiset and adaptive matching) are introduced into the GA components to enhance their search capability in a large problem space. Empirical study is presented in order to demonstrate the importance of operator improvement on traditional GA. The preliminary performance results show that the proposed introduction of an additional operator fine-tuning is efficient in both speed and accuracy and can keep up with high job arrival rates.

In this article, we propose an efficient intelligent decision method for a bionic motion unmanned system to simulate the formation change during the hunting process of the wolves. Path planning is a burning research focus for the unmanned system to realize the formation change, and some traditional techniques are designed to solve it. The intelligent decision based on evolutionary algorithms is one of the famous path planning approaches. However, time consumption remains to be a problem in the intelligent decisions of the unmanned system. To solve the time-consuming problem, we simplify the multi-objective optimization as the single-objective optimization, which was regarded as a multiple traveling salesman problem in the traditional methods. Besides, we present the improved genetic algorithm instead of evolutionary algorithms to solve the intelligent decision problem. As the unmanned system’s intelligent decision is solved, the bionic motion control, especially collision avoidance when the system moves, should be guaranteed. Accordingly, we project a novel unmanned system bionic motion control of complex nonlinear dynamics. The control method can effectively avoid collision in the process of system motion. Simulation results show that the proposed simplification, improved genetic algorithm, and bionic motion control method are stable and effective.

Background: Unmanned systems have been widely used in multiple fields. Many algorithms have been proposed to solve path planning problems. Each algorithm has its advantages and defects and cannot adapt to all kinds of requirements. An appropriate path planning method is needed for various applications. Objective: To select an appropriate algorithm fastly in a given application. This could be helpful for improving the efficiency of path planning for Unmanned systems. Methods: This paper proposes to represent and quantify the features of algorithms based on the physical indicators of results. At the same time, an algorithmic collaborative scheme is developed to search the appropriate algorithm according to the requirement of the application. As an illustration of the scheme, four algorithms, including the A-star (A*) algorithm, reinforcement learning, genetic algorithm, and ant colony optimization algorithm, are implemented in the representation of their features. Results: In different simulations, the algorithmic collaborative scheme can select an appropriate algorithm in a given application based on the representation of algorithms. And the algorithm could plan a feasible and effective path. Conclusion: An algorithmic collaborative scheme is proposed, which is based on the representation of algorithms and requirement of the application. The simulation results prove the feasibility of the scheme and the representation of algorithms.
