An enhanced random early marking algorithm for Internet flow control
We propose earlier an optimization based flow control for the Internet called Random Early Marking (REM). In this paper we propose and evaluate an enhancement that attempts to speed up the convergence of REM in the face of large feedback delays. REM can be regarded as an implementation of an optimization algorithm in a distributed network. The basic idea is to treat the optimization algorithm as a discrete time system and apply linear control techniques to stabilize its transient. We show that the modified algorithm is stable globally and converges exponentially locally. This algorithm translates into an enhanced REM scheme and we illustrate the performance improvement through simulation
The use of simulation in the design of a road transport incident detection algorithm
Automatic incident detection is becoming one of the core tools of urban traffic management, enabling more rapid identification and response to traffic incidents and congestion. Existing traffic detection infrastructure within urban areas (often installed for traffic signal optimization) provides urban traffic control systems with a near continuous stream of data on the state of traffic within the network. The creation of a simulation to replicate such a data stream therefore provides a facility for the development of accurate congestion detection and warning algorithms. This paper describes firstly the augmentation of a commercial traffic model to provide an urban traffic control simulation platform and secondly the development of a new incident detection system (RAID-Remote Automatic Incident Detection), with the facility to use the simulation platform as an integral part of the design and calibration process. A brief description of a practical implementation of RAID is included along with summary evaluation results
A WOA-based optimization approach for task scheduling in cloud Computing systems
Task scheduling in cloud computing can directly
affect the resource usage and operational cost of a system. To
improve the efficiency of task executions in a cloud, various
metaheuristic algorithms, as well as their variations, have been
proposed to optimize the scheduling. In this work, for the
first time, we apply the latest metaheuristics WOA (the whale
optimization algorithm) for cloud task scheduling with a multiobjective optimization model, aiming at improving the performance of a cloud system with given computing resources. On that
basis, we propose an advanced approach called IWC (Improved
WOA for Cloud task scheduling) to further improve the optimal
solution search capability of the WOA-based method. We present
the detailed implementation of IWC and our simulation-based
experiments show that the proposed IWC has better convergence
speed and accuracy in searching for the optimal task scheduling
plans, compared to the current metaheuristic algorithms. Moreover, it can also achieve better performance on system resource
utilization, in the presence of both small and large-scale tasks
Design of Gm-C wavelet filter for on-line epileptic EEG detection
Copyright Š 2019 The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication EngineersAnalog filter implementation of continuous wavelet transform is considered as a promising technique for on-line spike detection applied in wearable electroencephalogram system. This Letter proposes a novel method to construct analog wavelet base for analog wavelet filter design, in which the mathematical approximation model in frequency domain is built as an optimization problem and the genetic algorithm is used to find the global optimum resolution. Also, the Gm-C filter structure based on LC ladder simulation is employed to synthesize the obtained analog wavelet base. The Marr wavelet filter is designed as an example using SMIC 1V 0.35Οm CMOS technology. Simulation results show that the proposed method can give a stable analog wavelet filter with higher approximation accuracy and excellent circuit performance, which is well suited for the design of low-frequency low-power spike detector.Peer reviewe
