This paper addresses the issue of image segmentation by clustering in the domain of image processing. The clustering algorithm taken account here is the Fuzzy C-Means which is widely adopted in this field. Bacterial Foraging Optimization Algorithm is an optimal algorithm inspired by the foraging behavior of E.coli. For the purpose to reinforce the global search capability of FCM, the Bacterial ...

Grid computing could be a style of distributed computing that co-ordinates and provides the ability of resource sharing over varied geographical locations. Resource planning in Grid computing is an advanced task owing to the heterogeneous and dynamic nature of the resources. Bacterial foraging has recently emerged as a world optimization algorithmic program for distributed optimization and mana...

Proportional – Integral – Derivative control schemes continue to provide the simplest and effective solutions to most of the control engineering applications today. However PID controller is poorly tuned in practice with most of the tuning done manually which is difficult and time consuming. This research comes up with a soft computing approach involving Genetic Algorithm, Evolutionary Programm...

Steganography is the ability of hiding the very occurrence of communiqué by embedding secret messages into innocent looking cover up documents, such as digital images. Recognition of steganography, evaluation of message length, and its extraction belong to the field of steganalysis, which is actually a route for perceiving Stegnography. Bacterial foraging optimization (BFO) is a optimization te...

Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO) is optimization technique proposed by K. M. Passino in 2002 To tackle complex search problems of the real world, scientists have been drawing inspiration from nature and natural creatures for years. Bacterial Foraging Optimization is a burgeoning nature inspired technique to find the optimal solution of the problem. A Color images Quantization is necessary ...

-Past literature has attempted to solve the problem of network reconfiguration with Distributed Generators (DGs) without taking into consideration the intermittent renewable at a close proximity. Distribution Network Reconfiguration (ADNR) must account uncertain behavior of loads and wind when the commercial wind based DG, Doubly Fed Induction Generators (DFIG) supports a significant part of ne...

Clustering is the unsupervised learning in which the data is divided into similar groups (cluster) without any prior knowledge. The emerging swarm-based algorithms become an alternative to the conventional clustering methods to enhance the quality of results. Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) Algorithm is one of the Swarm Intelligent based optimization algorithm that exhibit foraging properties of a ...

Bacterial foraging optimization algorithm (BFOA) has been widely accepted as a global optimization algorithm of current interest for optimization and control. BFOA is inspired by the social foraging behavior of Escherichia coli. BFOA has already drawn the attention of researchers because of its efficiency in solving real-world optimization problems arising in several application domains. Simula...
