This work presents the application of the Mahalanobis–Taguchi System (MTS) to a dimensional problem in the automotive industry. The combinatorial optimization problem of variable selection is solved by the application of a recent version of binary ant colony optimization algorithm. Moreover, a comparison with respect to binary particle swarm optimization algorithm is also presented and a discus...

The quantity of network attacks and the harm from them is constantly increasing, so detection these an urgent task in information security field. In this paper, we investigate approach to building intrusion systems using a classifier based on fuzzy rules. process creating given set input output data can be presented as solution problems clustering, informative features selection, parameters rul...

A discrete whale optimization algorithm (DWOA) is presented to solve the no-wait flow shop scheduling problem (NWFSSP) with objective makespan. An effective combination of nearest neighbor (NN) and standard deviation heuristics (SDH) used acquire initial solutions population. After that, three crossover operators, two-point (TPX), multiple-point (MPX) job-based (JBX) are designed mimics humpbac...

Physiotherapeutic exoskeleton devices have recently been developed to help people rehabilitate impaired limb mobility and replace the use of physiotherapists. Such systems are characterized by high nonlinear time-varying coefficients. In order cope with such difficult control challenges, a need arose for reliable controllers. While in this study Sliding Mode Control (SMC) was used track traject...

In this paper a robust fractional order PID (FOPID) controller is proposed to control the automatic voltage regulator (AVR) system, tuning of gains are done using whale optimization algorithm (WOA) and integral time absolute error (ITAE) cost function adopted achieve an efficient performance. The transient analysis was compared with conventional in terms overshoot, settling time, rise peak expl...

Successful privatization in other sectors leads to a restructuring the power sector. The same practice has been adopted electrical industry with deregulated electricity market (EM). This enables competition among generating companies (Genco’s) for maximizing their profit and it plays central role. With this aim, each Genco gives higher bid that may result risk of losing opportunity get selected...
