Abstract University timetable scheduling is a complicated constraint problem because
educational institutions use timetables to maximize and optimize scarce
resources, such as time and space. In this paper, an examination timetable
system using Genetic Algorithm and Tabu Search memory with course
sandwiching (GAT_CS), was developed for a large public University. The concept
of Genetic Algorithm with Selection and Evaluation was implemented while the
memory properties of Tabu Search and course sandwiching replaced Crossover
and Mutation. The result showed that GAT_CS had hall allocation accuracies of
96.07% and 99.02%, unallocated score of 3.93% and 0.98% for first and second
semesters, respectively. It… More >

Abstract Precise automated determination of char morphologies formed by coal during
combustion can lead to more efficient industrial control systems for coal
combustion. Commonly, char particles are manually classified following the ICCP
decision tree which considers four morphological features. One of these features is
unfused material, and this class of material not characteristic of Colombian coals.
In this paper, we propose new machine learning algorithms to classify the char
particles in an image based system. Our hypothesis is that supervised classification
methods can outperform the 4 ‘class’ ICCP criteria. In this paper we evaluate
several morphological features and specifically assess the… More >

Abstract On the basis of JADE (adaptive differential evolution with optional external
archive) and the modified differential evolution with p-best crossover
(MDE_pBX), this study attempts to propose a modified mutation strategy termed "DE/(pbest)/1" for the differential evolution (DE) algorithm, where “(pbest)” represents the mean of p top-best vectors. Two modified parameter
adaptation mechanisms are also proposed to update the crossover rate and the
scale factor, respectively, in an adaptive manner. The DE variant with the
proposed mutation strategy and two modified adaptation mechanisms is termed
adaptive differential evolution with mean-of-pbest mutation strategy, denoted
by ADE_pBM is

Abstract Compared with deep neural learning, the extreme learning machine (ELM) can
be quickly converged without iteratively tuning hidden nodes. Inspired by this
merit, an extreme learning machine with elastic net regularization (ELM-EN) is
proposed in this paper. The elastic net is a regularization method that combines
LASSO and ridge penalties. This regularization can keep a balance between
system stability and solution's sparsity. Moreover, an excellent optimization
method, i.e., accelerated proximal gradient, is used to find the minimum of the
system optimization function. Various datasets from UCI repository and two

Abstract It is known that the locating accuracy of the traditional Distance Vector-HOP
(DV-HOP) approach in a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) depends on the
density of the anchor node. A novel WSN-oriented locating approach based on
a node's density is proposed in this paper. The approach can compute the
distance of the node based on the maximum likelihood estimation strategy. It
can improve the accuracy ratio of the measuring distance among the nodes.
The relative nodes of a WSN can find the average hop distances by estimating
the distances from themselves to their circular nodes. In order to assess the

Abstract This research paper represents an intelligent receiver based on the artificial-neuralnetworks (ANNs) for a 4x1 space-frequency-block-coded orthogonal-frequencydivision-multiplexing (SFBC-OFDM) system, working under slow time-varying
frequency-selective fading channels. The proposed equalizer directly recovers
transmitted symbols from the received signal, without the explicit requirement of
the channel estimation. The ANN based equalizer is modelled by using feedforward
as well as the recurrent neural-network (NN) architectures, and is trained using
error backpropagation algorithms. The major focus is on efficiency and efficacy of
three different strategies, namely the gradient-descent with momentum (GDM),
resilient-propagation (RProp), and Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithms. The

Abstract In this paper we show how the quantum-based particle swarm optimization
(QPSO) method is adopted to derive a new derivation for robotics application in
search and rescue simulations. The new derivation, called the Quantum Robot

Robot Darwinian PSO (RDPSO). This paper includes comprehensive details on
the QRDPSO formulation and parameters control which show how the swarm
overcomes communication constraints to avoid obstacles and achieve optimal

Abstract The real-time requirements imposed on a feedback control system are often hard to be met,
as the controller spends a disproportionately large amount of time waiting for a control cycle
to reach its final state. When such a final state is established, multiple tasks have to be
prioritized and launched altogether simultaneously, and the system is given an extremely
short time window to generate its output. This huge gap between the wait and action times,
perceived as a load unbalancing problem, hinders a control decision to be made in real time.
