In a wireless sensor network (WSN), the usage of resources is usually highly related to the execution of tasks which consume a certain amount of computing and communication bandwidth. Parallel processing among sensors is a promising solution to provide the demanded computation capacity in WSNs. Task allocation and scheduling is a typical problem in the area of high performance computing. Althou...

In many industrial applications of big data, the Jaccard Similarity Computation has been widely used to measure the distance between two profiles or sets respectively owned by two users. Yet, one semi-honest user with unpredictable knowledge may also deduce the private or sensitive information (e.g., the existence of a single element in the original sets) of the other user via the shared simila...

This paper proposes an improved Maximum Power Point Tracking of PhotoVoltaic system using Deterministic Partical Swarm Optimization technique. This method has the ability to track the maximum power under varying environmental conditions i.e. partial shading conditions. The advantage of this method, particles moves in the restricted value of velocity to achieve the maximum power. SEPIC converter...

A new technique for optimal planning of MV and LV segments of a distribution system is presented in this paper. The main goal is to find optimally distribution transformer and substation locations and ratings, as well as, the route and type of Medium Voltage (MV) and Low Voltage (LV) feeders. The proposed technique is applicable to both uniform and non-uniform load densities areas. In this meth...

Feature Selection is a preprocessing technique with great significance in data mining applications that aims at reducing computational complexity and increase predictive capability of a learning system. This paper presents a new hybrid feature selection algorithm based on Discrete Firefly optimization technique with dynamic alpha and gamma parameters and t-test filter technique to improve detec...

Generally, IDS use all the features in network packet to evaluate and look for intrusive patterns. This data contains redundant and some give false correlation. Thus, feature selection is required to address this issue. This study integrates a statistical approach called Rough Set and evolutionary computing approach called Particle Swarm to form a 2-tier structure of feature selection process. ...

From the review, it is studied that the min cut k – partitioning problem is a fundamental partitioning problem and is NP hard also. Most of the existing partitioning algorithms are heuristic in nature and they try to find a reasonably good solution. These algorithms falls in move – based category in which solution is generated iteratively from an initial solution applying move to the recent sol...

Despite the great benefits accruable from the debut of computer and the internet, efforts are constantly being put up by fraudulent and mischievous individuals to compromise the integrity, confidentiality or availability of electronic information systems. In Cyber-security parlance, this is termed ‘intrusion’. Hence, this has necessitated the introduction of Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) to...

In electric power system, the vital topic to be mooted is economic load dispatch (ELD). It a non-linear problem with some unavoidable constraints such as valve point loading and ramp rate constraint. For solving ELD distint methods were devised tried for different supply systems yielding slow convergence rates. To achieve fast convergence, dual objective multi constraint swarm optimization base...
