With the proliferation of usage of wireless sensor networks almost in all kind of monitoring activities of any given terrain, these networks have become a very fast growing area for research and commercial development. The essential characteristics of wireless sensor networks such as coverage, connectivity, cost and lifetime are decided by the number, locations and types of sensors of the netwo...

We propose an effective method to design a modified particle swarm optimization MPSO singularity control method for a fully parallel robot manipulator. By adopting MPSO to obtain simple and effective estimated damping values, the result automatically adjusts the damping value around a singular point and greatly improves the accuracy of system responses. This method works by damping acceleration...

This paper presents a new approach to the solution of optimal Manufacturers Production and Delivery (MPD) scheduling problem, using improved particle swarm optimization (ISAPSO) technique. The producing and delivery system is highly complex and possesses nonlinear relationship of the problem variables, products storage, products transport delay and scheduling time linkage that make the problem ...

Image template matching is essential in image analysis and computer vision tasks. Cross-correlation algorithms are often used in practice, but they are sensitive to nonlinear changes in image intensity and random noise, and are computationally expensive. In this paper, we propose a templatematching algorithm based on a modified particle swarm optimization (PSO) procedure with a mutual informati...

The MinMax k-means algorithm is widely used to tackle the effect of bad initialization by minimizing the maximum intraclustering errors. Two parameters, including the exponent parameter and memory parameter, are involved in the executive process. Since different parameters have different clustering errors, it is crucial to choose appropriate parameters. In the original algorithm, a practical fr...

The Optimal Power Flow (OPF) is one of the most important issues in the power systems. Due to the complexity and discontinuity of some parameters of power systems, the classic mathematical methods are not proper for this problem. In this paper, the objective function of OPF is formulated to minimize the power losses of transmission grid and the cost of energy generation and improve the voltage ...

The nonlinearity behaviour of magnetorheological fluid (MRF) can be described using a number established models such as Bingham and Modified Bouc-Wen models. Since these require the identification model parameters, there is need to estimate parameters' value carefully. In this paper, an optimization algorithm, i.e., Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) utilized identify models' parameters. PSO alg...
