In this paper we propose an approach for optimization of energy consumption in sensor networks. Compared to existing approaches the proposed approach takes into account the energy for data communication between nodes in task allocation. In the proposed approach firstly the tasks are allocated to sensor nodes by DPSO Algorithm, while the cost function including network constraint is optimum. Per...

This paper examines the use of evolutionary computation (EC) to find optimal solution in vehicle assignment problem (VAP). The VAP refers to the allocation of the expected number of people in a potentially flooded area to various types of available vehicles in evacuation process. A novel discrete particle swarm optimization (DPSO) algorithm and genetic algorithm (GA) are presented to solve this...

The Darwinian Particle Swarm Optimization (DPSO) is an evolutionary algorithm that extends the Particle Swarm Optimization using natural selection to enhance the ability to escape from sub-optimal solutions. An extension of the DPSO to multi-robot applications has been recently proposed and denoted as Robotic Darwinian PSO (RDPSO), benefiting from the dynamical partitioning of the whole populat...

Cell Formation (CF) is the initial step in the configuration of cell assembling frameworks. This paper proposes a new mathematical model for the CF problem considering aspects of production planning, namely inventory, backorder, and subcontracting. In this paper, for the first time, backorder is considered in cell formation problem. The main objective is to minimize the total fixed and variable...

This paper describes a class of novel initializations in Deterministic Particle Swarm Optimization (DPSO) for approximately solving costly unconstrained global optimization problems. The are based on choosing specific dense initial positions and velocities particles. These choices tend to induce some sense orthogonality particles’ trajectories, the early iterations, order better explore search ...

Particle filter based on particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO-PF) is not precise and trapping in local optimum easily, it is not able to satisfy the requirement of advanced integrated navigation system. In order to solve these problems, a novel particle filter algorithm based on dynamic neighborhood population adaptive particle swarm optimization (DPSO-PF) is presented in this paper. This...

Reactive power optimization is important to ensure power quality, improve system security, and reduce active power loss. So, this paper proposed parallel immune particle swarm optimization (PIPSO) algorithm. This algorithm makes basic particle swarm optimization (BPSO) and discrete particle swarm optimization (DPSO) to optimize in parallel, and improves the convergence capability of particle sw...
