On green routing and scheduling problem
The vehicle routing and scheduling problem has been studied with much
interest within the last four decades. In this paper, some of the existing
literature dealing with routing and scheduling problems with environmental
issues is reviewed, and a description is provided of the problems that have
been investigated and how they are treated using combinatorial optimization
tools
Detection of Lying Electrical Vehicles in Charging Coordination Application Using Deep Learning
The simultaneous charging of many electric vehicles (EVs) stresses the
distribution system and may cause grid instability in severe cases. The best
way to avoid this problem is by charging coordination. The idea is that the EVs
should report data (such as state-of-charge (SoC) of the battery) to run a
mechanism to prioritize the charging requests and select the EVs that should
charge during this time slot and defer other requests to future time slots.
However, EVs may lie and send false data to receive high charging priority
illegally. In this paper, we first study this attack to evaluate the gains of
the lying EVs and how their behavior impacts the honest EVs and the performance
of charging coordination mechanism. Our evaluations indicate that lying EVs
have a greater chance to get charged comparing to honest EVs and they degrade
the performance of the charging coordination mechanism. Then, an anomaly based
detector that is using deep neural networks (DNN) is devised to identify the
lying EVs. To do that, we first create an honest dataset for charging
coordination application using real driving traces and information revealed by
EV manufacturers, and then we also propose a number of attacks to create
malicious data. We trained and evaluated two models, which are the multi-layer
perceptron (MLP) and the gated recurrent unit (GRU) using this dataset and the
GRU detector gives better results. Our evaluations indicate that our detector
can detect lying EVs with high accuracy and low false positive rate
Evolving a rule system controller for automatic driving in a car racing competition
IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Games. Perth, Australia, 15-18 December 2008.The techniques and the technologies supporting Automatic Vehicle Guidance are important issues. Automobile manufacturers view automatic driving as a very interesting
product with motivating key features which allow improvement of the car safety, reduction in emission or fuel consumption or
optimization of driver comfort during long journeys. Car racing is an active research field where new advances in aerodynamics,
consumption and engine power are critical each season. Our proposal is to research how evolutionary computation techniques can help in this field. For this work we have designed an automatic controller that learns rules with a genetic algorithm.
This paper is a report of the results obtained by this controller during the car racing competition held in Hong Kong during the IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (WCCI 2008).Publicad

Local search: A guide for the information retrieval practitioner
There are a number of combinatorial optimisation problems in information retrieval in which the use of local search methods are worthwhile. The purpose of this paper is to show how local search can be used to solve some well known tasks in information retrieval (IR), how previous research in the field is piecemeal, bereft of a structure and methodologically flawed, and to suggest more rigorous ways of applying local search methods to solve IR problems. We provide a query based taxonomy for analysing the use of local search in IR tasks and an overview of issues such as fitness functions, statistical significance and test collections when conducting experiments on combinatorial optimisation problems. The paper gives a guide on the pitfalls and problems for IR practitioners who wish to use local search to solve their research issues, and gives practical advice on the use of such methods. The query based taxonomy is a novel structure which can be used by the IR practitioner in order to examine the use of local search in IR
