Base Changing Strategies in an Adaptive Representation Evolutionary Algorithm

Adaptive Rule-Base Influence Function Mechanism for Cultural Algorithm

This study proposes a modified version of cultural algorithms (CAs) which benefits from rule-based system for influence function. This rule-based system selects and applies the suitable knowledge source according to the distribution of the solutions. This is important to use appropriate influence function to apply to a specific individual, regarding to its role in the search process. This rule ...

Developing Adaptive Differential Evolution as a New Evolutionary Algorithm, Application in Optimization of Chemical Processes

Analytical evaluation of an innovative decision-making algorithm for VM live migration

In order to achieve the virtual machines live migration, the two "pre-copy" and "post-copy" strategies are presented. Each of these strategies, depending on the operating conditions of the machine, may perform better than the other. In this article, a new algorithm is presented that automatically decides how the virtual machine live migration takes place. In this approach, the virtual machine m...

A Comparison of Several Algorithms and Representations for Single Objective Optimization

In this paper we perform two experiments. In the first experiment we analyze the convergence ability to using different base for encoding solutions. For this purpose we use the bases 2 to 16. We apply the same algorithm (with the same basic parameters) for all considered bases of representation and for all considered test functions. The algorithm is an (1+1) ES. In the second experiment we will...

Design of A Self-Tuning Adaptive Power System Stabilizer

Power system stabilizers (PSSs) must be capable of providing appropriate stabilization signals over abroad range of operating conditions and disturbances. The main idea of this paper is changing aclassic PSS (CPSS) to an adaptive PSS using genetic algorithm. This new genetic algorithm based onadaptive PSS (GAPSS) improves power system damping, considerably. The controller design issue isformula...
