Many sorts of services in the cloud environments must be composited based on the user's
requests to meet the requirements. Thus, the distributed services are joined to the cloud …

Design of hydraulic structures, flood warning systems, evacuation measures, and traffic
management require river flood routing. A common hydrologic method of flood routing is the …

Effectiveness of any swarm based metaheuristic optimization algorithm focuses on perfect
mishmash of operator's castoff for exploration and exploitation. The absenteeism of balance …

The bat algorithm (BA) is one of prominent swarm-based algorithm that has the suitability in
solving only small dimension engineering problems and suffers from drawback of getting …

This paper proposed an improved bat algorithm based on Lévy flights and adjustment
factors (LAFBA). Dynamically decreasing inertia weight is added to the velocity update …

Biogeography-based optimization (BBO) is a swarm intelligence optimization algorithm
based on migration and mutation operations, which is usually used to solve the complex …

Bat algorithm (BA) has been widely used to solve the diverse kinds of optimisation problems.
In accordance with the optimisation problems, balance between the two major components …

Automated testing mitigates the risk of test maintenance failure, selects the optimized test
suite, improves efficiency and hence reduces cost and time consumption. This paper is …

The basic bat algorithm (BA) is a swarm intelligent algorithm, which simulates the
echolocation behavior of micro bats. Although BA is easy to implement and efficient in …

This paper presents a current sharing method to actively balance the output currents of a
parallel dc-dc converters'(PDCC) system regarding the demanded power. First, the …
