Abstract This research presents a novel nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithm called Frilled Lizard Optimization (FLO), which emulates the unique hunting behavior of frilled lizards in their natural habitat. FLO draws its inspiration from the sit-and-wait hunting strategy of these lizards. The algorithm’s core principles are meticulously detailed and mathematically structured into two distinct phases: (i) an exploration phase, which mimics the lizard’s sudden attack on its prey, and (ii) an exploitation phase, which simulates the lizard’s retreat to the treetops after feeding. To assess FLO’s efficacy in addressing optimization problems, its performance is rigorously tested on fifty-two… More >

Abstract Hyperspectral (HS) image classification plays a crucial role in numerous areas including remote sensing (RS), agriculture, and the monitoring of the environment. Optimal band selection in HS images is crucial for improving the efficiency and accuracy of image classification. This process involves selecting the most informative spectral bands, which leads to a reduction in data volume. Focusing on these key bands also enhances the accuracy of classification algorithms, as redundant or irrelevant bands, which can introduce noise and lower model performance, are excluded. In this paper, we propose an approach for HS image classification using… More >

Abstract The distributed flexible job shop scheduling problem (DFJSP) has attracted great attention with the growth of the global manufacturing industry. General DFJSP research only considers machine constraints and ignores worker constraints. As one critical factor of production, effective utilization of worker resources can increase productivity. Meanwhile, energy consumption is a growing concern due to the increasingly serious environmental issues. Therefore, the distributed flexible job shop scheduling problem with dual resource constraints (DFJSP-DRC) for minimizing makespan and total energy consumption is studied in this paper. To solve the problem, we present a multi-objective mathematical model for… More >

Abstract In the contemporary era, the global expansion of electrical grids is propelled by various renewable energy sources (RESs). Efficient integration of stochastic RESs and optimal power flow (OPF) management are critical for network optimization. This study introduces an innovative solution, the Gaussian Bare-Bones Levy Cheetah Optimizer (GBBLCO), addressing OPF challenges in power generation systems with stochastic RESs. The primary objective is to minimize the total operating costs of RESs, considering four functions: overall operating costs, voltage deviation management, emissions reduction, voltage stability index (VSI) and power loss mitigation. Additionally, a carbon tax is included in… More >

Abstract More devices in the Intelligent Internet of Things (AIoT) result in an increased number of tasks that require low latency and real-time responsiveness, leading to an increased demand for computational resources. Cloud computing’s low-latency performance issues in AIoT scenarios have led researchers to explore fog computing as a complementary extension. However, the effective allocation of resources for task execution within fog environments, characterized by limitations and heterogeneity in computational resources, remains a formidable challenge. To tackle this challenge, in this study, we integrate fog computing and cloud computing. We begin by establishing a fog-cloud environment… More >

Abstract In this study, our aim is to address the problem of gene selection by proposing a hybrid bio-inspired evolutionary algorithm that combines Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) with Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO) for feature selection. The motivation for utilizing GWO and HHO stems from their bio-inspired nature and their demonstrated success in optimization problems. We aim to leverage the strengths of these algorithms to enhance the effectiveness of feature selection in microarray-based cancer classification. We selected leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV) to evaluate the performance of both two widely used classifiers, k-nearest neighbors (KNN) and support vector machine… More >

Abstract Network traffic identification is critical for maintaining network security and further meeting various demands of network applications. However, network traffic data typically possesses high dimensionality and complexity, leading to practical problems in traffic identification data analytics. Since the original Dung Beetle Optimizer (DBO) algorithm, Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithm, Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm have the shortcomings of slow convergence and easily fall into the local optimal solution, an Improved Dung Beetle Optimizer (IDBO) algorithm is proposed for network traffic identification. Firstly, the Sobol sequence is utilized to initialize the… More >

Abstract This study proposes a hybridization of two efficient algorithm’s Multi-objective Ant Lion Optimizer Algorithm (MOALO) which is a multi-objective enhanced version of the Ant Lion Optimizer Algorithm (ALO) and the Genetic Algorithm (GA). MOALO version has been employed to address those problems containing many objectives and an archive has been employed for retaining the non-dominated solutions. The uniqueness of the hybrid is that the operators like mutation and crossover of GA are employed in the archive to update the solutions and later those solutions go through the process of MOALO. A first-time hybrid of these… More >

Abstract Speech emotion recognition (SER) uses acoustic analysis to find features for emotion recognition and examines variations in voice that are caused by emotions. The number of features acquired with acoustic analysis is extremely high, so we introduce a hybrid filter-wrapper feature selection algorithm based on an improved equilibrium optimizer for constructing an emotion recognition system. The proposed algorithm implements multi-objective emotion recognition with the minimum number of selected features and maximum accuracy. First, we use the information gain and Fisher Score to sort the features extracted from signals. Then, we employ a multi-objective ranking method… More >
