Virtual machines (VMs) dynamic consolidation is effective to improve the utilization of resources and energy efficiency in cloud environment. However, the obligation of providing high quality of service to customers leads to the necessity in dealing with the energy performance trade-off, as aggressive consolidation may lead to performance degradation. Current solutions to the problem of host lo...

Energy plays a significant role in today's developing societies. The role of energy demands to make decisions and policy with regard to its production, distribution, and supply. The vital importance of energy, especially fossil fuels, is a factor affecting agricultural production. This factor has a great influence on the production of agricultural products in Iran. The forecast of the con...

Accurate prediction of water level (WL) is essential for the optimal management different resource projects. The development a reliable model WL remains challenging task in resources management. In this study, novel hybrid models, namely, Generalized Structure-Group Method Data Handling (GS-GMDH) and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System with Fuzzy C-Means (ANFIS-FCM) were proposed to predict d...

This survey deals with up-to-date results in the field of hybrid algorithms development of GMDH-type Neural Networks (GMDH-NN) and other methods of Artificial Intelligence (AI) which are successfully used for solving complex economic problems. Such hybrid algorithms are now only in its early stage of active research. General characteristics and main weaknesses of GMDH-NN are firstly presented. ...

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been used increasingly for modelling com-plex hydrological processes. In this paper, we present a self-organizing polynomial neural network (SOPNN) algorithm, which combines the theory of bio-cybernetic self-organizing polynomial (SOP) with the artificial neural network (ANN) approach. With the SOP feature of seeking the best combination of polynomial mode...

The focus of this research is to introduce the application polynomial neural network group method data handling (GMDH) for first time in regional area New South Wales state Australia. Within context, temperature are modeled assess its projected variation impacts on rainfall depth due climate change. study encompasses six local government areas within state’s Central West region. Stochastic meth...
