Recently, the counting algorithm of local topology structures, such as triangles, has been widely used in social network analysis, recommendation systems, user portraits and other fields. At present, the problem of counting global and local triangles in a graph stream has been widely studied, and numerous triangle counting steaming algorithms have emerged. To improve the throughput and scalability of streaming algorithms, many researches of distributed streaming algorithms on multiple machines are studied. In this article, we first propose a framework of distributed streaming algorithm based on the Master-Worker-Aggregator architecture. The two core parts of this framework are an edge distribution strategy, which plays a key role to affect the performance, including the communication overhead and workload balance, and aggregation method, which is critical to obtain the unbiased estimations of the global and local triangle counts in a graph stream. Then, we extend the state-of-the-art centralized algorithm TRIÈST into four distributed algorithms under our framework. Compared to their competitors, experimental results show that DVHT-i is excellent in accuracy and speed, performing better than the best existing distributed streaming algorithm. DEHT-b is the fastest algorithm and has the least communication overhead. What’s more, it almost achieves absolute workload balance.

The multiple traveling salesman problem (mTSP) is an extension of the traveling salesman problem (TSP), which has wider applications in real life than the traveling salesman problem such as transportation and delivery, task allocation, etc. In this paper, an improved genetic algorithm (VNS-GA) that uses polar coordinate classification to generate the initial solutions is proposed. It integrates the variable neighbourhood algorithm to solve the multiple objective optimization of the mTSP with workload balance. Aiming to workload balance, the first design of this paper is about generating initial solutions based on the polar coordinate classification. Then a distance comparison insertion operator is designed as a neighbourhood action for allocating paths in a targeted manner. Finally, the neighbourhood descent process in the variable neighbourhood algorithm is fused into the genetic algorithm for the expansion of search space. The improved algorithm is tested on the TSPLIB standard data set and compared with other genetic algorithms. The results show that the improved genetic algorithm can increase computational efficiency and obtain a better solution for workload balance and this algorithm has wild applications in real life such as multiple robots task allocation, school bus routing problem and other optimization problems.

This study deals with the task assignment problem of heterogeneous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system with the limited resources and task priority constraints. The optimization model which comprehensively considers the resource consumption, task completion effect, and workload balance is formulated. Then, a concept of fuzzy elite degree is proposed to optimize and balance the transmission of good genes and the variation strength of population during the operations of algorithm. Based on the concept, we propose the fuzzy elite strategy genetic algorithm (FESGA) to efficiently solve the complex task assignment problem. In the proposed algorithm, two unlock methods are presented to solve the deadlock problem in the random optimization process; a sudden threat countermeasure (STC) mechanism is presented to help the algorithm quickly respond to the change of task environment caused by sudden threats. The simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithm. Meanwhile, the effectiveness and feasibility of the algorithm in workload balance and task priority constraints are verified.
