Real world problems are mostly dynamic thus such algorithms are required which can track the moving optima. Classical Optimization algorithm searches sequentially for the solution and are based on differential equations. In order to track the moving optima algorithm will have to be restarted and there is no guarantee that algorithm will find the optimum solution. On the other, Evolutionary algorithms are more suitable for such kind of problems as they can find the multiple optima in parallel. Evolutionary algorithms can track the optima and then repeatedly balance the need to exploit known optima with the need to search for new optima. A number of techniques have been proposed to deal with the dynamic environment problems. Different challenges and problems faced in dynamic environment whether it is for a multimodal functions or multi-objective have been discussed here.","PeriodicalId":418397,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129366155","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 provides the engineers with detailed information about what is happening on the rig site. In this paper we propose an approach to classify drilling operations automatically using machine learning techniques. This approach takes as input the sensors data in a specific time range, and predicts the drilling operation. Our approach is simple but effective, where for each sensor data (channel) a list of statistical features will be extracted, then features selection algorithms will be used to select the most informative features, and finally, a classifier will be trained based on these features. In this paper many feature weighting and selection algorithms were tested to find which statistical measures clearly distinguish between many different rig operations. In addition, many classification techniques were employed to find the best one in terms of accuracy and speed. Experimental evaluation with real data, from four different drilling scenarios, shows that our approach has the ability to extract and select the best features and build accurate classifiers. The performance of the classifiers was evaluated by using the cross-validation method.","PeriodicalId":418397,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126753698","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}

Most studies assume the uniqueness of the DM which is not the case for several decision making situations. In this study, we address this problematic by providing the DMs with an agent-based negotiation support system to aggregate their conflicting preferences before the beginning of the evolutionary process. This negotiation system helps the DMs to confront and adjust their preferences through a number of negotiation rounds. The system output is a set of social preferences which will be injected subsequently in a preference-based EMO Algorithm (EMOA) in order to guide the search towards a satisfying social ROI. The usefulness of the proposed system is demonstrated through a case study.","PeriodicalId":418397,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS)","volume":"27 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113967858","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 mutation component of S-ABC is based on quasi random Sobol sequence. Controller synthesis is obtained by minimizing Integral Time Absolute Error (ITAE) criterion. In order to digitally realize the FOPID controller Tustin operator based continuous fraction approximation (CFE) method is used.

A hybrid system for automated drilling operation classification is extended by the Expectation Maximization algorithm in combination with the Bayes' theorem to find automatically threshold values required by a rule based system used in an automated drilling operations classification system. The streaming data from the rig site is gathered and analyzed, the main clusters in the sensor data are identified and monitored as in a real life case. The first part of the suggested method is based on the Expectation Maximization algorithm which is used to decompose Gaussian mixture models in the sensor data set. Bayes' theorem is used as a subsequent part to calculate optimal threshold values. The threshold values calculation concept is heavily depending on the likelihood probabilities of each data cluster. The work in this paper not only suggests a solution and analytical method for tracking this kind of thresholds in the sensor data but also verifies how to compute such reliable thresholds in real-time.","PeriodicalId":418397,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129685304","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}
