Abstract Energy supply is one of the most critical challenges of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and industrial wireless sensor networks (IWSNs). While research on coverage optimization problem (COP) centers on the network’s monitoring coverage, this research focuses on the power banks’ energy supply coverage. The study of 2-D and 3-D spaces is typical in IWSN, with the realistic environment being more complex with obstacles (i.e., machines). A 3-D surface is the field of interest (FOI) in this work with the established hybrid power bank deployment model for the energy supply COP optimization of IWSN. The hybrid power bank deployment model is… More >

Abstract Federated learning is a distributed machine learning method that can solve the increasingly serious problem of data islands and user data privacy, as it allows training data to be kept locally and not shared with other users. It trains a global model by aggregating locally-computed models of clients rather than their raw data. However, the divergence of local models caused by data heterogeneity of different clients may lead to slow convergence of the global model. For this problem, we focus on the client selection with federated learning, which can affect the convergence performance of the global model with the selected… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Dipper throated optimization (DTO) algorithm is a novel with a very efficient metaheuristic inspired by the dipper throated bird. DTO has its unique hunting technique by performing rapid bowing movements. To show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm, DTO is tested and compared to the algorithms of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO), and Genetic Algorithm (GA) based on the seven unimodal benchmark functions. Then, ANOVA and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests are performed to confirm the effectiveness of the DTO compared to other optimization techniques. Additionally, to demonstrate the proposed algorithm's suitability for solving complex… More >

Abstract One of the challenging problems with evolutionary computing algorithms is to maintain the balance between exploration and exploitation capability in order to search global optima. A novel convergence track based adaptive differential evolution (CTbADE) algorithm is presented in this research paper. The crossover rate and mutation probability parameters in a differential evolution algorithm have a significant role in searching global optima. A more diverse population improves the global searching capability and helps to escape from the local optima problem. Tracking the convergence path over time helps enhance the searching speed of a differential evolution algorithm for varying problems. An adaptive… More >
