Abstract An intelligent optimization algorithm for a marine generator excitation controller is proposed to improve dynamic performance of shipboard power systems. This algorithm combines a belief–desire–intention agent with a quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization (QPSO) algorithm to optimize a marine generator excitation controller. The shipboard zonal power system is simulated under disturbance due to load change or severe fault. The results show that the proposed optimization algorithm can improve marine generator stability compared with conventional excitation controllers under various operating conditions. Moreover, the proposed intelligent algorithm is highly robust because its performance is insensitive to the accuracy of system parameters. More >

Abstract The main aim of this paper is to propose a new technique for enhancing the contrast of dark images using Dynamic Stochastic Resonance (DSR) and Multi Wavelet Transform (MWT), which is computationally more efficient than the conventional methods. In the work, for enhancing the contrast of dark images, the intrinsic noise (darkness) of dark images has been used. The proposed MWT-based DSR scheme (MWT-DSR) can yield better performances in terms of visual information and color preservation than already reported techniques. The desired output response is validated by the Relative Contrast Enhancement Factor (F), Perceptual Quality Measures (PQM) and Color Enhancement… More >

Abstract Prediction space of distinct check-in locations in Location-Based Social Networks is a challenge. In this paper, a thorough analysis of Foursquare Check-ins is done. Based on previous check-in sequences, next location of social-users is accurately predicted using multinomial-Hidden Markov Model (mHMM) with Steady-State probabilities. This information benefits security-agencies in tracking suspects and restaurant-owners to predict their customers’ arrivals at different venues on given days. Higher accuracy and Steady-State venuepopularities obtained for location-prediction using the proposed method, outperform various other baseline methods. More >

Abstract With the development of service computing technologies, the online services are massive and disordered now. How to find appropriate services quickly and build a more powerful composed service according to user interests has been a research focus in recent years. Current service recommendation algorithms often directly follow the traditional recommendation framework of ecommerce, which cannot effectively assist users to complete dynamic online business construction. Therefore, a novel service recommendation approach named UISCS (User-Interest- initial Services-Correlation-successor Services) is proposed, which is designed for interactive scenario of service composition, and it mines the user implicit interests and the service correlations for service… More >

Abstract A numerical optimization algorithm for unsteady flows of rotor based on web service is proposed. Space discretization uses the finite volume method, time discretization uses the implicit dual-time steps method, and turbulence model uses the Spalart–Allmaras (S–A) model. In order to efficiently use the computing resources of the cluster, a service-oriented service computing architecture is used in a parallel computing service program. In order to realize the load balance of hybrid grid partition, the grid is partitioned by Metis Library. Meanwhile, data communication based on Message Passing Interface (MPI) technology guarantees the consistency of convergence between parallel algorithm and serial… More >

Abstract Path planning is an important topic of research in modern intelligent traffic systems (ITSs). Traditional path planning methods aim to identify the shortest path and recommend this path to the user. However, the shortest path is not always optimal, especially in emergency rescue scenarios. Thus, complex and changeable factors, such as traffic congestion, road construction and traffic accidents, should be considered when planning paths. To address this consideration, the maximum passing probability of a road is considered the optimal condition for path recommendation. In this paper, the traffic network is abstracted as a directed graph. Probabilistic data on traffic flow… More >

Abstract Recommender methods using reviews have become an area of active research in e-commerce systems. The use of auxiliary information in reviews as a way to effectively accommodate sparse data has been adopted in many fields, such as the product field. The existing recommendation methods using reviews typically employ aspect preference; however, the characteristics of product reviews are not considered adequate. To this end, this paper proposes a novel recommendation approach based on using product attributes to improve the efficiency of recommendation, and a hybrid collaborative filtering is presented. The product attribute model and a new recommendation ranking formula are introduced… More >

Abstract Mapping from sentence phrases to knowledge graph resources is an important step for applications such as search engines, automatic question answering systems based on acknowledge base and knowledge graphs. The existing solution maps a simple phrase to a knowledge graph resource strictly or approximately from the text. However, it is difficult to detect phrases and map the composite semantic resource. This paper proposes a longest matching resource mapping scheme to solve this problem, namely, to find the longest substring in a sentence that can match the knowledge base resource. Based on this scheme, we propose an optimization algorithm based on… More >
