SCADA is an essential system to control critical facilities in big cities. SCADA is utilized in several sectors such as water resource management, power plants, electricity distribution centers, traffic control centers, and gas deputy. The failure of SCADA results in crisis. Hence, the design of SCADA system in order to serve a high reliability considering limited budget and other constraints i...

A new hybrid multi-objective, multivariable optimizer utilizing Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm (SPEA), Non-dominated Sorting Differential Evolution (NSDE), and Multi-Objective Particle Swarm (MOPSO) has been created and tested. The optimizer features automatic switching among these algorithms to expedite the convergence of the optimal Pareto front in the objective function(s) space. The...

a gyroscope is a device for measuring or maintaining orientation , based on the principles of conservation of angular momentum . the device is a spinning wheel or disk whose axle is free to take any orientation. this orientation changes much less in response to a given external torque than it would without the large angular momentum associated with the gyroscope's high rate of spin. since exter...

Software cost estimation is the process of predicting the effort required to develop a software system. The basic input for the software cost estimation is coding size and set of cost drivers, the output is Effort in terms of Person-Months (PM’s). Here, the use of support vector regression (SVR) has been proposed for the estimation of software project effort. We have used the COCOMO dataset and...

Task scheduling is a crucial issue in distributed (disbursed) heterogeneous processing environment and significantly influence the performance of the system. The task scheduling problem has been identified to be NP-complete in its universal frame. In this paper the task scheduling problem is investigated using multiple-objective particle (molecule) swarm optimization algorithm with crowded disp...

This chapter presents a Discrete Multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) algorithm that determines the optimal order of activities execution within a design project that minimizes project total iterative time and cost. Numerical Design Structure Matrix (DSM) was used to model project activities’ execution order along with their interactions providing a base for calculating the objec...

Flexible skin and continuous deformable control surface are the basic of adaptive wing technology for future aircraft. This paper presents a morphing trailing-edge its allocation method flying Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Firstly, we apply Kriging to establish aerodynamic model trailing-edge, with initial sample points generated by non-uniform optimal Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS). Then, bas...

In this paper, we proposed an algorithm for solving the problem of task scheduling using particle swarm optimization algorithm, with changes in the Selection and removing the guide and also using the technique to get away from the bad, to move away from local extreme and diversity. Scheduling algorithms play an important role in grid computing, parallel tasks Scheduling and sending them to ...

In the recent years, multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) has become quite popular in the field of multi-objective optimization. However, due to a large amount of fitness evaluations as well as the task of archive maintaining, the running time of MOPSO for optimizing some difficult problems may be quite long. This paper proposes a parallel MOPSO based on consumer-level Graphics P...

A newmultiobjective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) technique for environmental/economic dispatch (EED) problem is proposed in this paper. The proposed MOPSO technique evolves a multiobjective version of PSO by proposing redefinition of global best and local best individuals in multiobjective optimization domain. The proposedMOPSO technique has been implemented to solve the EED problemwith ...
