Increasing Server Availability for Overall System Security: A Preventive Maintenance Approach Based on Failure Prediction
cs.DC
Server Availability (SA) is an important measure of overall systems security. Important security systems rely on the availability of their hosting servers to deliver critical security services. Many of these servers offer management interface through web mainly using an Apache server. This paper investigates the increa...

Parallel Genetic Algorithm to Solve Traveling Salesman Problem on MapReduce Framework using Hadoop Cluster
cs.DC
Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is one of the most common studied problems in combinatorial optimization. Given the list of cities and distances between them, the problem is to find the shortest tour possible which visits all the cities in list exactly once and ends in the city where it starts. Despite the Traveling S...

The parametrized probabilistic finite-state transducer probe game player fingerprint model
cs.GT
Fingerprinting operators generate functional signatures of game players and are useful for their automated analysis independent of representation or encoding. The theory for a fingerprinting operator which returns the length-weighted probability of a given move pair occurring from playing the investigated agent against...

Multidiscipinary Optimization For Gas Turbines Design
math.OC
State-of-the-art aeronautic Low Pressure gas Turbines (LPTs) are already characterized by high quality standards, thus they offer very narrow margins of improvement. Typical design process starts with a Concept Design (CD) phase, defined using mean-line 1D and other low-order tools, and evolves through a Preliminary De...

Short-term plasticity as cause-effect hypothesis testing in distal reward learning
cs.NE
Asynchrony, overlaps and delays in sensory-motor signals introduce ambiguity as to which stimuli, actions, and rewards are causally related. Only the repetition of reward episodes helps distinguish true cause-effect relationships from coincidental occurrences. In the model proposed here, a novel plasticity rule employs...

A Three-Phase Search Approach for the Quadratic Minimum Spanning Tree Problem
cs.DS
Given an undirected graph with costs associated with each edge as well as each pair of edges, the quadratic minimum spanning tree problem (QMSTP) consists of determining a spanning tree of minimum total cost. This problem can be used to model many real-life network design applications, in which both routing and interfe...

Sex as Gibbs Sampling: a probability model of evolution
cs.NE
We show that evolutionary computation can be implemented as standard Markov-chain Monte-Carlo (MCMC) sampling. With some care, `genetic algorithms' can be constructed that are reversible Markov chains that satisfy detailed balance; it follows that the stationary distribution of populations is a Gibbs distribution in a ...

Artificial Mutation inspired Hyper-heuristic for Runtime Usage of Multi-objective Algorithms
cs.SE
In the last years, multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEA) have been applied to different software engineering problems where many conflicting objectives have to be optimized simultaneously. In theory, evolutionary algorithms feature a nice property for runtime optimization as they can provide a solution in any ...

A Parallel Memetic Algorithm to Solve the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows
cs.DC
This paper presents a parallel memetic algorithm for solving the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW). The VRPTW is a well-known NP-hard discrete optimization problem with two objectives. The main objective is to minimize the number of vehicles serving customers scattered on the map, and the second one is ...

Uav Route Planning For Maximum Target Coverage
cs.RO
Utilization of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in military and civil operations is getting popular. One of the challenges in effectively tasking these expensive vehicles is planning the flight routes to monitor the targets. In this work, we aim to develop an algorithm which produces routing plans for a limited number o...
