Localization of Voltage Regulators in Distribution Systems by a Mixed Genetic–Tabu Search Algorithm

The optimal allocation of regulators banks in distribution systems is a merely combinatorial problem in which the best points of installation correspond to the best benefit, considering the admitted objective function, without violating and operating limits. The objective function must be chosen so that its value represents the operation state of the system. As the problem possesses combinatorial nature, its complexity will increase exponentially with the number of possibilities. Systems with large numbers of nodes and / or with the possibility of installing more than one bank require a large number of calculations to find the solution. An additional issue is the fact that the problem does not have a continuous nature, presenting discontinuity points in the objective function, limiting the application of optimization methods based on gradients. Based on the nature of the problem two optimization methods were used to solve the problem: Genetic Algorithm (GA) and modified Tabu Search (TS). The GA function will scour the search space and find regions with local minima that are candidates to be the solution. On the other hand the TS provides local search in the regions defined by GA so that the overall optimum is achieved.

Parametric Optimization Design of Aircraft Based on Hybrid Parallel Multi-objective Tabu Search Algorithm

For dealing with the multi-objective optimization problems of parametric design for aircraft, a novel hybrid parallel multi-objective tabu search （HPMOTS） algorithm is used. First, a new multi-objective tabu search （MOTS） algorithm is proposed. Comparing with the traditional MOTS algorithm, this proposed algorithm adds some new methods such as the combination of MOTS algorithm and ＂Pareto solution＂, the strategy of ＂searching from many directions＂ and the reservation of good solutions. Second, this article also proposes the improved parallel multi-objective tabu search （PMOTS） algorithm. Finally, a new hybrid algorithm--HPMOTS algorithm which combines the PMOTS algorithm with the non-dominated sorting-based multi-objective genetic algorithm （NSGA） is presented. The computing results of these algorithms are compared with each other and it is shown that the optimal result can be obtained by the HPMOTS algorithm and the computing result of the PMOTS algorithm is better than that of MOTS algorithm.

A new focused crawler using an improved tabu search algorithm incorporating ontology and host information

To solve the problems of incomplete topic description and repetitive crawling of visited hyperlinks in traditional focused crawling methods,in this paper,we propose a novel focused crawler using an improved tabu search algorithm with domain ontology and host information(FCITS_OH),where a domain ontology is constructed by formal concept analysis to describe topics at the semantic and knowledge levels.To avoid crawling visited hyperlinks and expand the search range,we present an improved tabu search(ITS)algorithm and the strategy of host information memory.In addition,a comprehensive priority evaluation method based on Web text and link structure is designed to improve the assessment of topic relevance for unvisited hyperlinks.Experimental results on both tourism and rainstorm disaster domains show that the proposed focused crawlers overmatch the traditional focused crawlers for different performance metrics.

Compared to the famous Teh chin algorithm, our algorithms have obtained the approximated polygons with less number of vertices and less approximation error. Compared to the dynamic programming algorithm, the processing time of our algorithms are much less expensive.

A Niche-Based Evolutionary Tabu Search Algorithm for Optimal Coordination of Protection Relays in Power Networks

In this paper, refusal of operation and the degree of constraint violation are considered as one part of the objective function for optimizing the protection relay setting coordination of over current relays in power systems; a new expression of objective function in this optimization problem is proposed. To combine the advantages of both Tabu search （TS） and evolutionary algorithms （EAs）, a new niche-based evolutionary Tabu search algorithm （named NETS） is presented to solve this optimization problem. Moreover, in two cases of power networks, comparisons between NETS and two published algorithms are given. Experimental results show the expression of the objective function for protection relay setting is feasible and reasonable, and the proposed algorithm NETS exhibits a good performance.

Test Cost Optimization Using Tabu Search

In order to deliver a complete reliable software product, testing is performed. As testing phase carries on, cost of testing process increases and it directly affects the overall project cost. Many a times it happens that the actual cost becomes more than the estimated cost. Cost is considered as the most important parameter with respect to software testing, in software industry.
