This paper presents an application of the parallel Adaptive Evolutionary Algorithm (AEA) to search an optimal solution of the service restoration in electric power distribution systems, which is a discrete optimization problem. The main objective of service restoration is, when a fault or overload occurs, to restore as much load as possible by transferring the de-energized load in the out of service area via network reconfiguration to the appropriate adjacent feeders at minimum operational cost without violating operating constraints. This problem has many constraints and it is very difficult to find the optimal solution because of its numerous local minima. In this investigation, a parallel AEA was developed for the service restoration of the distribution systems. In parallel AEA, a genetic algorithm (GA) and an evolution strategy (ES) in an adaptive manner are used in order to combine the merits of two different evolutionary algorithms: the global search capability of the GA and the local search capability of the ES. In the reproduction procedure, proportions of the population by GA and ES are adaptively modulated according to the fitness. After AEA operations, the best solutions of AEA processors are transferred to the neighboring processors. For parallel computing, a PC cluster system consisting of 8 PCs was developed. Each PC employs the 2 GHz Pentium IV CPU and is connected with others through switch based fast Ethernet. To show the validity of the proposed method, the developed algorithm has been tested with a practical distribution system in Korea. From the simulation results, the proposed method found the optimal service restoration strategy. The obtained results were the same as that of the explicit exhaustive search method. Also, it is found that the proposed algorithm is efficient and robust for service restoration of distribution systems in terms of solution quality, speedup, efficiency, and computation time.

This paper presents an application of the parallel Adaptive Evolutionary Algorithm (AEA) to search an optimal solution of a reconfiguration in distribution systems. The aim of the reconfiguration is to determine the appropriate switch position to be opened for loss minimization in radial distribution systems, which is a discrete optimization problem. This problem has many constraints and it is very difficult to find the optimal switch position because of its numerous local minima. In this investigation, a parallel AEA was developed for the reconfiguration of the distribution system. In parallel AEA, a genetic algorithm (GA) and an evolution strategy (ES) in an adaptive manner are used in order to combine the merits of two different evolutionary algorithms: the global search capability of GA and the local search capability of ES. In the reproduction procedure, proportions of the population by GA and ES are adaptively modulated according to the fitness. After AEA operations, the best solutions of AEA processors are transferred to the neighboring processors. For parallel computing, a PC-cluster system consisting of 8 PCs·was developed. Each PC employs the 2 GHz Pentium IV CPU, and is connected with others through switch based fast Ethernet. The new developed algorithm has been tested and is compared to distribution systems in the reference paper to verify the usefulness of the proposed method. From the simulation results, it is found that the proposed algorithm is efficient and robust for distribution system reconfiguration in terms of the solution quality, speedup, efficiency, and computation time.

This paper describes a design of graphical user interface for a simulated breeding tool with multifield. The term field is used here as a population of visualized individuals that are candidates of selection. Multi-field interface enables the user to breed his/her favorite phenotypes by selection independently in each field, and he/she can copy arbitrary individual into another field. As known on genetic algorithms, a small population likely leads to premature convergence trapped by a local optimum, and migration among plural populations is useful to escape from local optimum. The multi-field user interface provides easy implementation of migration and wider diversity. We show the usefulness of multi-field user interface through an example of a breeding system of 2D CG images.

Genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) are two excellent approaches to multimodal optimization problems. However, slow convergence or premature convergence readily occurs because of inappropriate and inflexible evolution. In this paper, a novel optimization algorithm with a flexible grid optimization (FGO) is suggested to provide adaptive trade-off between exploration and exploitation according to the specific objective function. Meanwhile, a uniform agents array with adaptive scale is distributed on the gird to speed up the calculation. In addition, a dominance centroid and a fitness center are proposed to efficiently determine the potential guides when the population size varies dynamically. Two types of subregion division strategies are designed to enhance evolutionary diversity and convergence, respectively. By examining the performance on four benchmark functions, FGO is found to be competitive with or even superior to several other popular algorithms in terms of both effectiveness and efficiency, tending to reach the global optimum earlier. Moreover, FGO is evaluated by applying it to a parameter decision in a least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) to verify its practical competence.

Machine learning methods diversely applied to the Internet of Things (IoT) field have been successful due to the enhancement of computer processing power. They offer an effective way of detecting malicious intrusions in IoT because of their high-level feature extraction capabilities. In this paper, we proposed a novel feature selection method for malicious intrusion detection in IoT by using an evolutionary technique - Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms. The proposed model is performing the classification of BoT-IoT dataset to evaluate its quality through the training and testing with classifiers. The data is reduced and several preprocessing steps are applied such as: unnecessary information removal, null value checking, label encoding, standard scaling and data balancing. GA has applied over the preprocessed data, to select the most relevant features and maintain model optimization. The selected features from GA are given to ML classifiers such as Logistic Regression (LR) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) and the results are evaluated using performance evaluation measures including recall, precision and f1-score. Two sets of experiments are conducted, and it is concluded that hyperparameter tuning has a significant consequence on the performance of both ML classifiers. Overall, SVM still remained the best model in both cases and overall results increased.

In this paper a new approach to estimate scaling factors of fuzzy controllers such as the fuzzy PID controller and the fuzzy PD controller is presented. The performance of the fuzzy controller is sensitive to the variety of scaling factors[1]. The desist procedure dwells on the use of evolutionary computing(a genetic algorithm) and estimation algorithm for dynamic systems (the inverted pendulum). The tuning of the scaling factors of the fuzzy controller is essential to the entire optimization process. And then we estimate scaling factors of the fuzzy controller by means of two types of estimation algorithms such as Neuro-Fuzzy model, and regression polynomial [7]. This method can be applied to the nonlinear system as the inverted pendulum. Numerical studies are presented and a detailed comparative analysis is also included.

In this study, we introduce a noble neurogenetic approach to the design of fuzzy controller. The design procedure dwells on the use of Computational Intelligence (CI), namely genetic algorithms and Fuzzy-Set based Neural Networks (FSNN). The crux of the design methodology is based on the selection and determination of optimal values of the scaling factors of the fuzzy controllers, which are essential to the entire optimization process. First, the tuning of the scaling factors of the fuzzy controller is carried out by using GAs, and then the development of a nonlinear mapping for the scaling factors is realized by using GA based FSNN. The developed approach is applied to a nonlinear system such as an inverted pendulum where we show the results of comprehensive numerical studies and carry out a detailed comparative analysis.

최근 들어 DNA 컴퓨팅이 활발하게 연구되면서, DNA 컴퓨팅에서 가장 기본적이고도 중요한 DNA 서열 디자인 문제가 부각되고 있다. 기존의 연구에서 DNA 서열 디자인 문제를 다중목적 최적화 문제로 정의하고, elitist non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm(NSGA-II)를 이용하여 성공적으로 DNA 서열을 디자인하였다. 그런데, NSGA-II는 계산속도가 느리다는 단점이 있어서, 이를 극복하기 위해 본 논문에서는 $\varepsilon$-다중목적함수 진화알고리즘(r-Multiobjective evolutionary algorithm, $\varepsilon$-MOEA)을 DNA 서열 디자인에 이용하였다. 우선, 두 알고리즘의 성능을 보다 자세히 비교하기 위해서 DTLZ2 벤치 마크 문제에 대해서 적용한 결과, 목적함수의 개수가 작은 경우에는 큰 차이가 없으나, 목적함수의 개수가 많을 경우에는 $\varepsilon$-MOEA가 NSGA-II에 대해서 최적해를 찾는 정도(Convergence)와 다양한 해를 찾는 정도 (diversity)에 있어서 각각 $70\%,\;73\%$ 향상된 성능을 보여주었고, 또한 최적해를 찾는 속도도 비약적으로 개선되었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 기존의 DNA 서열 디자인 방법론으로 디자인된 DNA 서열들과 7-순환외판원 문제 해결에 필요한 DNA 서열을 NSGA-II와 $\varepsilon$-MOEA로 재디자인하였다. 대부분의 경우 $\varepsilon$-MOEA가 우수한 결과를 보였고, 특히 7-순환외판원 문제에 대해서 NSGA-II와 비교하여 convergence와 diversity의 측면에서 유사한 결과를 2배 이상 빨리 발견하였고, 동일한 계산 시간을 이용해서는 $22\%$ 정도 보다 다양하게 해를 발견하였으며, $92\%$ 우수한 최적해를 발견하는 것을 확인하였다.

이 연구는 단봉 전역 최적화 성능이 개선된 적응적 코시 분포 차분 진화 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존 적응적 코시 분포 차분 진화 알고리즘은(ACDE) 개체의 다양성을 보장하여 다봉 전역 최적화 문제에 우수한 "DE/rand/1" 돌연변이 전략을 사용했다. 그러나 이 돌연변이 전략은 수렴 속도가 느려 단봉 전역 최적화 문제에 단점이 있다. 제안 알고리즘은 "DE/rand/1" 돌연변이 전략 대신 수렴 속도가 빠른 "DE/current-to-best/1" 돌연변이 전략을 사용했다. 이때, 개체의 다양성이 부족하여 발생할 수 있는 지역 최적해로의 수렴을 방지하기 위해서 매개변수 초기화 연산이 추가됐다. 매개변수 초기화 연산은 특정세대를 주기로 실행되거나 또는 선택 연산에서 모든 개체가 진화에 실패하는 경우 실행된다. 매개변수 초기화 연산은 각 개체들의 매개변수에 탐험적 특성이 높은 값을 할당하여 넓은 공간을 탐색할 수 있도록 보장한다. 성능 평가 결과, 개선된 적응적 코시 분포 차분 진화 알고리즘이 최신 차분 진화 알고리즘들에 비해 특히, 단봉 전역 최적화 문제에서 성능이 개선됨을 확인했다.
