The interconnect length and delay are accordingly increased owing to the exponential escalation of packaging density with additional transistors being fabri- cated on the same chip area. The function of VLSI routing that seems to be more defying to the scholars, is categorized in global routing and detailed routing phase. In global routing phase, the prevalent method to lessen the wire length for reducing interconnect delay is to adjust the cost of the Steiner tree, devised by the terminal nodes to be interconnected. Nevertheless, Steiner tree problem is a NP-complete problem in classical graph theory where meta-heuristics might impart beneficial elucidations. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a robust algorithm concerning VLSI routing field. This chapter is regarding the proposal of a self-adaptive mechanism for monitoring acceler- ation coefficient of PSO and evaluating its functionalities with the existing acceleration coefficient controlled PSO in numerous allocation topologies of terminal nodes within definite VLSI layout. The outcomes of PSO variant with constriction factor in context to VLSI route reduction ability and robustness are also inspected. Additionally, a new effort in adapting the PSO with embracement of genetic algorithm is established.","PeriodicalId":365322,"journal":{"name":"Particle Swarm Optimization with Applications","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130290051","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 objective of a workflow application is to complete all the tasks within the shortest time, i.e., minimal makespan. A job scheduler with a high-efficient scheduling algorithm is required to solve workflow scheduling based on grid information. Scheduling problems are NP-complete problems, which have been well solved by metaheuristic algorithms. To attain effective solutions to workflow application, an algorithm named the stochastic greedy PSO (SGPSO) is proposed to solve workflow scheduling; a new velocity update rule based on stochastic greedy is suggested. Restated, a stochastic greedy-driven search guidance is provided to particles. Meanwhile, a stochastic greedy probability (SGP) parameter is designed to help control whether the search behavior of particles is exploitation or exploration to improve search efficiency. The advantages of the proposed scheme are retaining exploration capa- bility during a search, reducing complexity and computation time, and easy to implement. Retaining exploration capability during a search prevents particles from getting trapped on local optimums. Additionally, the diversity of the proposed SGPSO is verified and analyzed. The experimental results demonstrate that the SGPSO proposed can effectively solve workflow class problems encountered in the grid environment.","PeriodicalId":365322,"journal":{"name":"Particle Swarm Optimization with Applications","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129376236","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}

These conflicting objectives are formulated as a combined economic emission dispatch (CEED) problem. Various meta-heuristic optimization algorithms have been developed and successfully implemented to solve this complex, highly nonlinear, non-convex problem. To overcome the shortcomings of the evolutionary multi-objective algorithms like slow convergence to Pareto-optimal front, premature convergence, local trapping, it is very natural to think of integrating various algorithms to overcome the shortcomings. This chapter proposes a hybrid evolu- tionary multi-objective optimization framework using Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II and Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization to solve the CEED prob- lem. The hybrid method along with the proposed constraint handling mechanism is able to balance the exploration and exploitation tasks. This hybrid method is tested on IEEE 30 bus system with quadratic cost function considering transmission loss and valve point effect. The Pareto front obtained using hybrid approach demonstrates that the approach converges to the true Pareto front, finds the diverse set of solutions along the Pareto front and confirms its potential to solve the CEED problem.","PeriodicalId":365322,"journal":{"name":"Particle Swarm Optimization with Applications","volume":"54 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131726662","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}
