In this paper, a set of software classification method based on software operating characteristics is proposed. The method uses software run-time resource consumption to describe the software running characteristics. Firstly, principal component analysis (PCA) is used to reduce the dimension of software running feature data and to interpret software characteristic information. Then the modified K-means algorithm was used to classify the meteorological data processing software. Finally, it combined with the results of principal component analysis to explain the significance of various types of integrated software operating characteristics. And it is used as the basis for optimizing the allocation of software hardware resources and improving the efficiency of software operation.展开更多

In this paper we represent a new approach called Multiple Parameter based Clustering (MPC) embedded with the traditional k-means algorithm which takes different parameters (Node energy level, Euclidian distance from the base station, RSSI, Latency of data to reach base station) into consideration to form clusters. Then the effectiveness of the clusters is evaluated based on the uniformity of the node distribution, Node range per cluster, Intra and Inter cluster distance and required energy level of each centroid. Our result shows that by varying multiple parameters we can create clusters with more uniformly distributed nodes, minimize intra and maximize inter cluster distance and elect less power consuming centroid.展开更多

文摘Online teaching has become an important form of regular teaching in higher education institutions,and teachers’input in online teaching is directly related to the quality of online teaching.A K-means cluster analysis of teachers’teaching behaviours in the online teaching platform of Sanya Aviation and Tourism College and a comparison of the mean values of each semester’s behaviours reveal that teachers’overall online teaching input is insufficient and their online teaching behaviours need to be optimized;their teaching energy has improved and their online teaching resources are more completed;their teaching emotional input is seriously lacking and their online interaction needs to be strengthened.To address these problems,the following measures can be taken:improve teachers’incentives to increase the overall investment in online teaching;change teachers’roles to strengthen the emotional investment in online teaching;and strengthen teachers’training to enhance online teaching design skills.
文摘受限于自然条件,光伏出力具有很强的随机性。为准确评估轨道交通基础设施分布式光伏发电的光伏出力特性,提出一种基于改进K-means聚类算法的轨道交通基础设施分布式光伏发电典型场景生成方法,并基于此进行光伏出力特性分析。首先,基于分布式光伏发电设施以及气象数据,利用PVsyst软件模拟光伏发电出力数据。然后,针对基本K-means聚类算法聚类参数和初始聚类中心盲目性高的问题,结合聚类有效性指标(Density based index,DBI)和层次聚类对其进行改进并利用改进K-means聚类算法生成光伏典型日出力场景。最后,基于华中地区某地轨道交通基础设施分布式光伏系统对所提方法的有效性和优越性进行验证,并通过定性和定量分析各典型场景的出力特性揭示轨道交通基础设施分布式光伏出力的规律和特点。

文摘With the advent of the era of big data and the development and construction of smart campuses,the campus is gradually moving towards digitalization,networking and informationization.The campus card is an important part of the construction of a smart campus,and the massive data it generates can indirectly reflect the living conditions of students at school.In the face of the campus card,how to quickly and accurately obtain the information required by users from the massive data sets has become an urgent problem that needs to be solved.This paper proposes a data mining algorithm based on K-Means clustering and time series.It analyzes the consumption data of a college student’s card to deeply mine and analyze the daily life consumer behavior habits of students,and to make an accurate judgment on the specific life consumer behavior.The algorithm proposed in this paper provides a practical reference for the construction of smart campuses in universities,and has important theoretical and application values.
文摘针对电池储能系统(battery energy storage system,BESS)进行光伏波动平抑时寿命损耗高及荷电状态(state of charge,SOC)一致性差的问题,提出了光伏波动平抑下改进K-means的BESS动态分组控制策略。首先,采用最小最大调度方法获取光伏并网指令。其次,设计了改进侏儒猫鼬优化算法(improved dwarf mongoose optimizer,IDMO),并利用它对传统K-means聚类算法进行改进,加快了聚类速度。接着,制定了电池单元动态分组原则,并根据电池单元SOC利用改进K-means将其分为3个电池组。然后,设计了基于充放电函数的电池单元SOC一致性功率分配方法,并据此提出BESS双层功率分配策略,上层确定电池组充放电顺序及指令,下层计算电池单元充放电指令。对所提策略进行仿真验证,结果表明,所设计的IDMO具有更高的寻优精度及更快的寻优速度。所提BESS平抑光伏波动策略在有效平抑波动的同时,降低了BESS运行寿命损耗并提高了电池单元SOC的均衡性。
