Extracting accurate values for relevant unknown parameters of solar cell models is vital and necessary for performance analysis of a photovoltaic (PV) system. This paper presents an effective application of a young, yet efficient metaheuristic, named the symbiotic organisms search (SOS) algorithm, for the parameter extraction of solar cell models. SOS, inspired by the symbiotic interaction ways employed by organisms to improve their overall competitiveness in the ecosystem, possesses some noticeable merits such as being free from tuning algorithm-specific parameters, good equilibrium between exploration and exploitation, and being easy to implement. Three test cases including the single diode model, double diode model, and PV module model are served to validate the effectiveness of SOS. On one hand, the performance of SOS is evaluated by five state-of-the-art algorithms. On the other hand, it is also compared with some well-designed parameter extraction methods. Experimental results in terms of the final solution quality, convergence rate, robustness, and statistics fully indicate that SOS is very effective and competitive.

Symbiotic organisms search (SOS) is a new robust and powerful metaheuristic algorithm, which stimulates the symbiotic interaction strategies adopted by organisms to survive and propagate in the ecosystem. In the supervised learning area, it is a challenging task to present a satisfactory and efficient training algorithm for feedforward neural networks (FNNs). In this paper, SOS is employed as a new method for training FNNs. To investigate the performance of the aforementioned method, eight different datasets selected from the UCI machine learning repository are employed for experiment and the results are compared among seven metaheuristic algorithms. The results show that SOS performs better than other algorithms for training FNNs in terms of converging speed. It is also proven that an FNN trained by the method of SOS has better accuracy than most algorithms compared.

Simultaneous Scheduling

This paper deals with simultaneous scheduling of machines and tools with alternate machines in a multi machine flexible manufacturing system (FMS) to minimize makespan (MS). Only one copy of each type of tools is made available due to economic restrictions and the tools are stored in a central tool magazine (CTM) that shares with and serves for several machines. The problem is to select machines from alternate machines for job-operations, allocation of tools to job-operations and job-operations’ sequencing on machines for MS minimization. This paper presents a nonlinear mixed integer programming (MIP) formulation to model the combined scheduling of machines and tools with alternate machines and a symbiotic organisms search algorithm (SOSA) built on the symbiotic interaction strategies that organisms employ to continue to exist in the ecosystem for solving the scheduling of machines and tools with alternate machines. The results have been tabulated, analyzed. It is observed that there is a reduction in MS when the alternate machines are considered for job-operation.

An enhanced symbiotic organisms search (ESOS) algorithm is developed and presented. Modifications to the basic symbiotic organisms search algorithm are carried out in all three phases of the algorithm with the aim of balancing the exploitation and exploration capabilities of the algorithm. To verify validity and capability of the ESOS algorithm in solving general optimization problems, the CEC2014 set of 22 benchmark functions is first optimized and the results are compared with other metaheuristic algorithms. The ESOS algorithm is then used to optimize the sizing and shape of five benchmark trusses with multiple frequency constraints. The best (minimum) mass, mean mass, standard deviation of the mass, total number of function evaluations, and the values of frequency constraints are then compared with those of a number of other metaheuristic solutions available in the literature. It is shown that the proposed ESOS algorithm is generally more efficient in optimizing the shape and sizing of trusses with dynamic frequency constraints compared to other reported metaheuristic algorithms, including the basic symbiotic organisms search and its other recently proposed improved variants such as the improved symbiotic organisms search algorithm (ISOS) and modified symbiotic organisms search algorithm (MSOS).

Clustering is an important unsupervised analysis technique for big data mining. It finds its application in several domains including biomedical documents of the MEDLINE database. Document clustering algorithms based on metaheuristics is an active research area. However, these algorithms suffer from the problems of getting trapped in local optima, need many parameters to adjust, and the documents should be indexed by a high dimensionality matrix using the traditional vector space model. In order to overcome these limitations, in this paper a new documents clustering algorithm (ASOS-LSI) with no parameters is proposed. It is based on the recent symbiotic organisms search metaheuristic (SOS) and enhanced by an acceleration technique. Furthermore, the documents are represented by semantic indexing based on the famous latent semantic indexing (LSI). Conducted experiments on well-known biomedical documents datasets show the significant superiority of ASOS-LSI over five famous algorithms in terms of compactness, f-measure, purity, misclassified documents, entropy, and runtime.
