An increasing need for generating the entire conditional distribution of future observations has been required for the new generation of soft sensors. This study aims the probabilistic forecasts, reporting the use of a hybrid fuzzy forecasting model applied in two different forecasting problems. Our adapted model is applied to predict the rain of the city of Vitoria, in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil. Real data from a wind farm, provided by the Irish EirGrid institute, was used for analyzing the proposal over a real time series with high fluctuations. Due to the stochasticity of the the hybrid model, which is calibrated through the use of an evolutionary metaheuristic, we adapted it in order to generate future using quantile regression. Computational experiments indicated the ability of the model in finding useful probabilistic quantiles, which were flexible enough in order to limit the lower and upper bounds of the historical datasets. While the probabilistic quantiles suggested the probability of rain and its magnitude, they were also able to predict expected ranges of the amount of energy generated from the wind farm.","PeriodicalId":303392,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Conference on Evolving and Adaptive Intelligent Systems (EAIS)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132328945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among other benefits of this technology, the ability to answer quickly business requirements has been one of the main motivations. Thereby, in cloud environments, resources should be acquired and released automatically and quickly at runtime. This way, to ensure QoS, the major cloud providers emphasize ensuring of availability, CPU instance and cost measure in their SLAs (Service Level Agreements). However, the QoS performance are not completely handled or inappropriately treated in SLAs. Although from the user's point of view, it is considered one of the main QoS parameters. Therefore, the aim of this work consists in development of a solution to efficient query processing on large databases available in the cloud environments. It integrates adaptive re-optimization at query runtime and their costs are based on the SRT (Service Response Time) QoS performance parameter of SLA. Finally, the solution was evaluated in Amazon EC2 cloud infrastructure and the TPC-DS like benchmark was used for generating a database.","PeriodicalId":303392,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Conference on Evolving and Adaptive Intelligent Systems (EAIS)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120957237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Semi-supervised learning techniques combine unlabeled and labeled data to capture more useful information about a particular task. On the other hand, an incremental learning technique can incorporate new information to an existing model, so that it can dynamically adapt its structure to follow the environment changes. In order to unify the characteristics of both approaches, in this paper is proposed an incremental semi-supervised learning method called SSLearn++, which is based on the techniques Simple Recycled Selection (SRS) (semi-supervised learning), and Learn++ (incremental learning). To treat multi-class problems, SRS was combined with Sequential Forward Selection (SFS) to generate cascades of binary classifiers. Experiments were conducted using publicly available benchmark data sets. Results show the proposed method is promising.","PeriodicalId":303392,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Conference on Evolving and Adaptive Intelligent Systems (EAIS)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133984031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work addresses two variables to apply fuzzy logic, which are: The level of material in the car dumper silos; The effective rate of discharge. The ideal discharge occurs when the desired yield is achieved and when the level of material in the varies within the range specified by the supplier. In this work we use the speed of rotation of feeder conveyor to control by the application of fuzzy logic. If the speed of feeder conveyor is low, the level increases in the silos and the effective rate decreases and whether the speed of feeder conveyor is high, the level decreases and the silos effective rate increases. The fuzzy logic was applied in this work because it is very difficult to make the modeling using classical logic, when the variables are inaccurate as in the case discussed.","PeriodicalId":303392,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Conference on Evolving and Adaptive Intelligent Systems (EAIS)","volume":"136 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115914187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The requirements of thermal energy in the distillation process are enormous. The thermodynamic efficiency of the distillation process is less than 10%. It is estimated that 8% of all energy used by U.S. industries is consumed in the distillation process. Energy is responsible for 50 to 60% of the operating costs of refineries while in chemical that proportion varies from 30 to 40%. These data shows the potential of savings that the distillation process can be achieved when the process is subjected to better control and optimized. The Model Based Predictive Control (MPC) is an advanced control technique with features that solve operational problems present in distillation columns. The MPC can deal with of multivariable systems with interactions and considerable dead times, nonlinearities and restrictions on the variables. One of the most important steps in the MPC is the minimization of an objective function. Different types of objective functions can be used in the MPC control algorithm with specific parameter settings for each type of objective function. In this work, the Wood-Berry model for distillation columns will be used. One MPC control strategy for column using a objective function with economic cost will be implemented. Finally, they will be made adjustments to the parameters of the objective function in order to see how these settings influence the response of the MPC controller.","PeriodicalId":303392,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Conference on Evolving and Adaptive Intelligent Systems (EAIS)","volume":"171 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115417948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It uses the Multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithm technique and the Step Method in order to optimize all objectives of a given problem, thus providing a greater number of possible solutions. The goals set to the multi-objective function are the maximization of restored customers, minimization of Joule losses and the number of switching maneuvers in the network for the restoration, which are subject to operational constraints. The software features a set of non-dominated solutions, providing the operator with the option to choose from several effective configurations. The grid is modeled by using the node-depth representation (NDR), and the operating constraints evaluated by the forward / backward sweep load flow method.
