Advanced Computational Methods for Knowledge Engineering - Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Computer Science, Applied Mathematics and Applications, ICCSAMA 2016, 2-3 May, 2016, Vienna, Austria
This proceedings consists of 20 papers which have been selected and invited from the submissions to the 4th International Conference on Computer Science, Applied Mathematics and Applications (ICCSAMA 2016) held on 2-3 May, 2016 in Laxenburg, Austria. The conference is organized into 5 sessions: Advanced Optimization Methods and Their Applications, Models for ICT applications, Topics on discrete mathematics, Data Analytic Methods and Applications and Feature Extractio, respectively. All chapters in the book discuss theoretical and practical issues connected with computational methods and optimization methods for knowledge engineering. The editors hope that this volume can be useful for graduate and Ph.D. students and researchers in Applied Sciences, Computer Science and Applied Mathematics
A Comparison between Fixed-Basis and Variable-Basis Schemes for Function Approximation and Functional Optimization
Fixed-basis and variable-basis approximation schemes are compared for the problems of function approximation and functional optimization (also known as infinite programming). Classes of problems are investigated for which variable-basis schemes with sigmoidal computational
units perform better than fixed-basis ones, in terms of the minimum number of computational units needed to achieve a desired error in function approximation or approximate optimization. Previously known bounds on the accuracy are extended, with better rates, to families o
On the Selection of Tuning Methodology of FOPID Controllers for the Control of Higher Order Processes
In this paper, a comparative study is done on the time and frequency domain
tuning strategies for fractional order (FO) PID controllers to handle higher
order processes. A new fractional order template for reduced parameter modeling
of stable minimum/non-minimum phase higher order processes is introduced and
its advantage in frequency domain tuning of FOPID controllers is also
presented. The time domain optimal tuning of FOPID controllers have also been
carried out to handle these higher order processes by performing optimization
with various integral performance indices. The paper highlights on the
practical control system implementation issues like flexibility of online
autotuning, reduced control signal and actuator size, capability of measurement
noise filtration, load disturbance suppression, robustness against parameter
uncertainties etc. in light of the above tuning methodologies.Comment: 27 pages, 10 figure
Binary Particle Swarm Optimization based Biclustering of Web usage Data
Web mining is the nontrivial process to discover valid, novel, potentially
useful knowledge from web data using the data mining techniques or methods. It
may give information that is useful for improving the services offered by web
portals and information access and retrieval tools. With the rapid development
of biclustering, more researchers have applied the biclustering technique to
different fields in recent years. When biclustering approach is applied to the
web usage data it automatically captures the hidden browsing patterns from it
in the form of biclusters. In this work, swarm intelligent technique is
combined with biclustering approach to propose an algorithm called Binary
Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) based Biclustering for Web Usage Data. The
main objective of this algorithm is to retrieve the global optimal bicluster
from the web usage data. These biclusters contain relationships between web
users and web pages which are useful for the E-Commerce applications like web
advertising and marketing. Experiments are conducted on real dataset to prove
the efficiency of the proposed algorithms
