An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is a powered pilotless aircraft, which is controlled remotely or autonomously. UAVs are an attractive alternative for many scientific and military organizations. UAVs can perform operations that are considered to be risky or uninhabitable for human. UA V s are currently employed in many military missions such as reconnaissance, surveillance, enemy radar jamming, decoying, suppression of enemy air defense (SEAD), fixed and moving target attack, and air-to-air combat. UAVs also are employed in a number of civilian applications such as monitoring ozone depletion, inclement weather, traffic congestion, and taking images of dangerous territory. For accomplishing the UAV's missions, guarantee of survivability should be preceded. The main objective of this study is to suggest a mathematical programming model and a $A^*PS$-PGA (A-star with Post Smoothing-Parallel Genetic Algorithm) for an UAV's path planning to maximize survivability. A mathematical programming model is composed by using MRPP (Most Reliable Path Problem) and TSP (Traveling Salesman Problem). A path planning algorithm for UAV is applied by transforming MRPP into SPP (Shortest Path Problem).

This paper presents a parallel genetic algorithm for the Multi-disk data allocation problem an NP-complete problem. This problem is to find a method to distribute a Binary Cartesian Product File on disk-arrays to maximize parallel disk I/O accesses. A Sequential Genetic Algorithm(SGA), DAGA, has been proposed and showed the superiority to the other proposed methods, but it has been observed that DAGA consumes considerably lengthy simulation time. In this paper, a parallel version of DAGA(ParaDAGA) is proposed. The ParaDAGA is a 2-dimension torus-based Parallel Genetic Algorithm(PGA) and it is based on a distributed population structure. The ParaDAGA has been implemented on the parallel computer simulated on a single processor platform. Through the simulation, we study the impact of varying ParaDAGA parameters and compare the quality of solution derived by ParaDAGA and DAGA. Comparing the quality of solutions, ParaDAGA is superior to DAGA in all cases of configurations in less simulation time.

In this paper, we proposed tracking detection methodology using information granulation-based fuzzy radial basis function neural networks (IG-FRBFNN). According to IEC 60112, tracking device is manufactured and utilized for experiment. We consider 12 features that can be used to decide whether tracking phenomenon happened or not. These features are considered by signal processing methods such as filtering, Fast Fourier Transform(FFT) and Wavelet. Such some effective features are used as the inputs of the IG-FRBFNN, the tracking phenomenon is confirmed by using the IG-FRBFNN. The learning of the premise and the consequent part of rules in the IG-FRBFNN is carried out by Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering algorithm and weighted least squares method (WLSE), respectively. Also, Hierarchical Fair Competition-based Parallel Genetic Algorithm (HFC-PGA) is exploited to optimize the IG-FRBFNN. Effective features to be selected and the number of fuzzy rules, the order of polynomial of fuzzy rules, the fuzzification coefficient used in FCM are optimized by the HFC-PGA. Tracking inference engine is implemented by using the LabVIEW and loaded into embedded system. We show the superb performance and feasibility of the tracking detection system through some experiments.

In this paper, we propose an approach to design of optimized Cascade controller for Rotary Inverted Pendulum system using Hierarchical Fair Competition-based Genetic Algorithm(HFCGA). GAs may get trapped in a sub-optimal region of the search space thus becoming unable to find better quality solutions, especially for very large search space. The Parallel Genetic Algorithms(PGA) are developed with the aid of global search and retard premature convergence. HFCGA is a kind of multi-populations of PGA. In this paper, we design optimized Cascade controller by HFCGA for Rotary Inverted Pendulum system that is nonlinear and unstable. Cascade controller comprise two feedback loop, parameters of controller optimize using HFCGA. Then designed controller evaluate by apply to the real plant.

Manufacturing environments in the real world are subject to many sources of change and uncertainty, such as new job releases, job cancellations, a chance in the processing time or start time of some operation. Thus, the realistic scheduling method should Properly reflect these dynamic environment. Based on the release times of jobs, JSSP (Job Shoe Scheduling Problem) can be classified as static and dynamic scheduling problem. In this research, we mainly consider the dynamic JSSP with continually arriving jobs. The goal of this research is to develop an efficient scheduling method based on GA (Genetic Algorithm) to address dynamic JSSP. we designed scheduling method based on SGA (Sing1e Genetic Algorithm) and PGA (Parallel Genetic Algorithm) The scheduling method based on GA is extended to address dynamic JSSP. Then, This algorithms are tested for scheduling and rescheduling in dynamic JSSP. The results is compared with dispatching rule. In comparison to dispatching rule, the GA approach produces better scheduling performance.

This paper introduced an automatic generation method of falling motions for humanoid robots to minimize a damage. The proposed approach used a PGA based optimization technique to find a set of joint trajectories which minimize a damage of the falling over and down. Injection-migration PGA technique is introduced and compared with EMO and various migration topologies. To verify the proposed method, experiments for falling motions were executed for Sony QRIO robot in Webots simulation environments.

In this study, we introduce the hybrid optimization of fuzzy inference systems that is based on Hierarchical Fair Competition-based Parallel Genetic Algorithms (HFCGA). HFCGA is a kind of multi-populations of Parallel Genetic Algorithms(PGA), and it is used for structure optimization and parameter identification of fuzzy set model. It concerns the fuzzy model-related parameters as the number of input variables, a collection of specific subset of input variables, the number of membership functions, and the apexes of the membership function. In the hybrid optimization process, two general optimization mechanisms are explored. The structural optimization is realized via HFCGA method whereas in case of the parametric optimization we proceed with a standard least square method as well as HFCGA method as well. A comparative analysis demonstrates that the proposed algorithm is superior to the conventional methods.
