In this paper the benchmarking functions are used to evaluate and check the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. However, the functions utilized have two dimension but they selected with different difficulty and with different models. In order to prove capability of PSO, it is compared with genetic algorithm (GA). Hence, the two algorithms are compared in terms of objective functions and the standard deviation. Different runs have been taken to get convincing results and the parameters are chosen properly where the Matlab software is used. Where the suggested algorithm can solve different engineering problems with different dimension and outperform the others in term of accuracy and speed of convergence.

AbstractWeb service compositions are commendable in structuring innovative applications for different Internet-based business solutions. The existing services can be reused by the other applications via the web. Due to the availability of services that can serve similar functionality, suitable Service Composition (SC) is required. There is a set of candidates for each service in SC from which a suitable candidate service is picked based on certain criteria. Quality of service (QoS) is one of the criteria to select the appropriate service. A standout amongst the most important functionality presented by services in the Internet of Things (IoT) based system is the dynamic composability. In this paper, two of the metaheuristic algorithms namely Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) are utilized to tackle QoS based service composition issues. QoS has turned into a critical issue in the management of web services because of the immense number of services that furnish similar functionality yet with various characteristics. Quality of service in service composition comprises of different non-functional factors, for example, service cost, execution time, availability, throughput, and reliability. Choosing appropriate SC for IoT based applications in order to optimize the QoS parameters with the fulfillment of user’s necessities has turned into a critical issue that is addressed in this paper. To obtain results via simulation, the PSO algorithm is used to solve the SC problem in IoT. This is further assessed and contrasted with GA. Experimental results demonstrate that GA can enhance the proficiency of solutions for SC problem in IoT. It can also help in identifying the optimal solution and also shows preferable outcomes over PSO.

In this article, a hierarchical cooperative algorithm based on the genetic algorithm and the particle swarm optimization is proposed that the paper should utilize the global searching ability of genetic algorithm and the fast convergence speed of particle swarm optimization. The proposed algorithm starts from Individual organizational structure of subgroups and takes full advantage of the merits of the particle swarm optimization algorithm and the genetic algorithm (HCGA-PSO). The algorithm uses a layered structure with two layers. The bottom layer is composed of a series of genetic algorithm by subgroup that contributes to the global searching ability of the algorithm. The upper layer is an elite group consisting of the best individuals of each subgroup and the particle swarm algorithm is used to perform precise local search. The experimental results demonstrate that the HCGA-PSO algorithm has better convergence and stronger continuous search capability, which makes it suitable for solving complex optimization problems.

In order to accelerate the convergence and improve the calculation accuracy for parameter optimization of the Muskingum model, we propose a novel, adaptive hybrid particle swarm optimization (AHPSO) algorithm. With the decreasing of inertial weight factor proposed, this method can gradually converge to a global optimal with elite individuals obtained by hybrid PSO. In the paper, we analyzed the feasibility and the advantages of the AHPSO algorithm. Then, we verified its efficiency and superiority by application of the Muskingum model. We intensively evaluated the error fitting degree based on the comparison with four known formulas: the test method (TM), the least residual square method (LRSM), the nonlinear programming method (NPM), and the Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno (BFGS) method. The results show that the AHPSO has a higher precision. In addition, we compared the AHPSO algorithm with the binary-encoded genetic algorithm (BGA), the Gray genetic algorithm (GGA), the Gray-encoded accelerating genetic algorithm (GAGA) and the particle swarm optimization (PSO), and results show that AHPSO has faster convergent speed. Moreover, AHPSO has a competitive advantage compared with the above eight methods in terms of robustness. With the efficiency of this approach it can be extended to estimate parameters of other dynamic models.

Purpose A set of routers that are connected over communication channels can from network-on-chip (NoC). High performance, scalability, modularity and the ability to parallel the structure of the communications are some of its advantages. Because of the growing number of cores of NoC, their arrangement has got more valuable. The mapping action is done based on assigning different functional units to different nodes on the NoC, and the way it is done contains a significant effect on implementation and network power utilization. The NoC mapping issue is one of the NP-hard problems. Therefore, for achieving optimal or near-optimal answers, meta-heuristic algorithms are the perfect choices. The purpose of this paper is to design a novel procedure for mapping process cores for reducing communication delays and cost parameters. A multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm standing on crowding distance (MOPSO-CD) has been used for this purpose. Design/methodology/approach In the proposed approach, in which the two-dimensional mesh topology has been used as base construction, the mapping operation is divided into two stages as follows: allocating the tasks to suitable cores of intellectual property; and plotting the map of these cores in a specific tile on the platform of NoC. Findings The proposed method has dramatically improved the related problems and limitations of meta-heuristic algorithms. This algorithm performs better than the particle swarm optimization (PSO) and genetic algorithm in convergence to the Pareto, producing a proficiently divided collection of solving ways and the computational time. The results of the simulation also show that the delay parameter of the proposed method is 1.1 per cent better than the genetic algorithm and 0.5 per cent better than the PSO algorithm. Also, in the communication cost parameter, the proposed method has 2.7 per cent better action than a genetic algorithm and 0.16 per cent better action than the PSO algorithm. Originality/value As yet, the MOPSO-CD algorithm has not been used for solving the task mapping issue in the NoC.

Dynamic positioning (DP) control system is an essential module used in offshore ships for accurate maneuvering and maintaining of ship’s position and heading (fixed location or pre-determined track) by means of thruster forces being generated by controllers. In this paper, an interconnection and damping assignment-passivity based control (IDA-PBC) controller is developed for DP of surface ships. The design of the IDA-PBC controller involves a dynamic extension utilizing the coordinate transformation which adds damping to some coordinates to ensure asymptotic stability and adds integral action to enhance the robustness of the system against disturbances. The particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique is one of the the population-based optimization methods that has gained the attention of the control research communities and used to solve various engineering problems. The PSO algorithm is proposed for the optimization of the IDA-PBC controller. Numerical simulations results with comparisons illustrate the effectiveness of the new PSO-tuned dynamic IDA-PBC controller.

Noise, vibration, and harshness performances are always concerns in design of an automotive belt drive system. The design problem of the automotive belt drive system requires the minimum transverse vibration of each belt span and minimum rotational vibrations of each pulley and the tensioner arm at the same time, with constraints on tension fluctuations in each belt span. The autotensioner is a key component to maintain belt tensions, avoid belt slip, and absorb vibrations in the automotive belt drive system. In this work, a dynamic adaptive particle swarm optimization and genetic algorithm (DAPSO-GA) is proposed to find an optimum design of an autotensioner to solve this design problem and achieve design targets. A dynamic adaptive inertia factor is introduced in the basic particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to balance the convergence rate and global optimum search ability by adaptively adjusting the search velocity during the search process. genetic algorithm (GA)-related operators including a selection operator with time-varying selection probability, crossover operator, and n-point random mutation operator are incorporated in the PSO algorithm to further exploit optimal solutions generated by the PSO algorithm. These operators are used to diversify the swarm and prevent premature convergence. The objective function is established using a weighted-sum method, and the penalty function method is used to deal with constraints. Optimization on an example automotive belt drive system shows that the system vibration is greatly improved after optimization compared with that of its original design.

Abstract Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is the well-known metaheuristic algorithm for optimization, inspired from swarm of species.PSO can be used in various problems solving related to engineering and science inclusive of but not restricted to increase the heat transfer of systems, to diagnose the health problem using PSO based on microscopic imaging. One of the limitations with Standard-PSO and other swarm based algorithms is large computational time as position vectors are dense. In this study, a sparse initialization based PSO (Sparse-PSO) algorithm has been proposed. Comparison of proposed Sparse-PSO with Standard-PSO has been done through evaluation over several standard benchmark objective functions. Our proposed Sparse-PSO method takes less computation time and provides better solution for almost all benchmark objective functions as compared to Standard-PSO method.
