Experimental examples of measuring the CS contour of real H-shaped steel are presented for demonstration. The maximum error of measurement without considering the lens distortion is 2%, while the tolerance accepted by manufacturers is 3%.

The characteristic of scheduling involves two parts of work. One is to optimally choose steel coils from available ones, the other is to generate a satisfactory processing plan so as to minimize production cost. To solve the problem, this paper transfers all the production requirements into the distance between any pair of coils, reduces the scheduling problem to prize-collecting traveling salesman problem (PCTSP) and develops pertinent Hopfield network algorithm, taking full advantage of the enlarged solving space of PCTSP. The performance of the proposed approach is verified by randomly generated problem instances.

The basic component of ACO is a solution construction mechanism, which simulates the decision-making processes of ant colonies as they forage for food and find the most efficient routes from their nests to food sources. Due to its constructive nature, we hybridize the solution construction mechanism of ACO with cyclic transfers (CT), which is a new class of neighborhood search algorithm. A CT-ACO algorithm, a hybrid search approach, is proposed to solve the vehicle routing problem. The method has both the advantages of ant colony optimization, the ability to find the higher performance solutions, and that of cyclic transfer algorithm, the ability to conduct fine-tuning in the quality of solutions and to find better solutions. The experimental results have shown that the method is very efficient and competitive to solve the vehicle routing problem compared with the best existing methods in terms of solution quality.

We propose an autonomous network service management platform - SwarmingNet, which is motivated by observations of the swarm intelligence in biological systems (e.g., termite, ant/bees colonies, or locusts). In this SwarmingNet architecture, the required network service processes are implemented by a group of highly diverse and autonomic objects. These objects are called teleservice solons (TSSs) as elements of teleservice holons (TSHs), analogue to individual insects as particles of the whole colony. A single TSS is only able to pursue simple behaviors and interactions with local neighbors, however, a group of TSSs have the capabilities of fulfilling the complex tasks relating to service discovery and service activation. We simulate a service configuration process for multimedia messaging service, and a performance comparison between the bio-agents and normal agents is analyzed. Finally, we conclude that through bio-swarming intelligence behaviors, this infrastructure develops the enhanced self-x capabilities which give IP networks advantages of instinctive compatibility, efficiency and scalability","PeriodicalId":306045,"journal":{"name":"2005 ICSC Congress on Computational Intelligence Methods and Applications","volume":"288 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114320275","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 is assumed that a diagnosis system is available that detects and isolates the faults with a bounded delay. Thus, the combination of the plant and the diagnosis system, as the system to be controlled, will have three modes: normal, transient and recovery. Initially, the plant and thus the system to be controlled, are in the normal mode. Once a fault occurs in the plant, the system enters the transient mode. After the fault is diagnosed by the diagnosis system, the system enters the recovery mode. We study the design of a nonblocking supervisor to enforce the design specifications of the system in all three modes. The solution is obtained by first transforming the problem into an equivalent robust nonblocking supervisory control problem under partial observation, and then (using our previous results on robust control) solving the resulting robust control problem and thus the fault recovery problem. As a result, we obtain a set of necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution for the fault recovery problem","PeriodicalId":306045,"journal":{"name":"2005 ICSC Congress on Computational Intelligence Methods and Applications","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115827299","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}
