The objective of steganography is to hide message securely in cover objects for secret communication.How to design a secure steganographic algorithm is still major challenge in this re-search field.In this letter,developing secure steganography is formulated as solving a constrained IP(Integer Programming) problem,which takes the relative entropy of cover and stego distributions as the objective function.Furthermore,a novel method is introduced based on BPSO(Binary Particle Swarm Optimization) for achieving the optimal solution of this programming problem.Experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve excellent performance on preserving neighboring co-occurrence features for JPEG steganography.

Optimal design of structures for earthquake loads by a hybrid RBF-BPSO method

The optimal seismic design of structures requires that time history analyses （THA） be carried out repeatedly. This makes the optimal design process inefficient, in particular, if an evolutionary algorithm is used. To reduce the overall time required for structural optimization, two artificial intelligence strategies are employed. In the first strategy, radial basis function （RBF） neural networks are used to predict the time history responses of structures in the optimization flow. In the second strategy, a binary particle swarm optimization （BPSO） is used to find the optimum design. Combining the RBF and BPSO, a hybrid RBF-BPSO optimization method is proposed in this paper, which achieves fast optimization with high computational performance. Two examples are presented and compared to determine the optimal weight of structures under earthquake loadings using both exact and approximate analyses. The numerical results demonstrate the computational advantages and effectiveness of the proposed hybrid RBF-BPSO optimization method for the seismic design of structures.

A Binary Particle Swarm Optimization for the Minimum Weight Dominating Set Problem

The minimum weight dominating set problem （MWDSP） is an NP-hard problem with a lot of real-world applications. Several heuristic algorithms have been presented to produce good quality solutions. However, the solution time of them grows very quickly as the size of the instance increases. In this paper, we propose a binary particle swarm optimization （FBPSO） for solving the MWDSP approximately. Based on the characteristic of MWDSP, this approach designs a new position updating rule to guide the search to a promising area. An iterated greedy tabu search is used to enhance the solution quality quickly. In addition, several stochastic strategies are employed to diversify the search and prevent premature convergence. These methods maintain a good balance between the exploration and the exploitation. Experimental studies on 106 groups of 1 060 instances show that FBPSO is able to identify near optimal solutions in a short running time. The average deviation between the solutions obtained by FBPSO and the best known solutions is 0.441%. Moreover, the average solution time of FBPSO is much less than that of other existing algorithms. In particular, with the increasing of instance size, the solution time of FBPSO grows much more slowly than that of other existing algorithms.

Binary Particle Swarm Optimization Based Hyper-Heuristic for Solving the Set-Union Knapsack Problem

The set-union knapsack problem(SUKP)is proved to be a strongly NP-hard problem,and it is an extension of the classic NP-hard problem:the 0-1 knapsack problem(KP).Solving the SUKP through exact approaches is computationally expensive.Therefore,several swarm intelligent algorithms have been proposed in order to solve the SUKP.Hyper-heuristics have received notable attention by researchers in recent years,and they are successfully applied to solve the combinatorial optimization problems.In this article,we propose a binary particle swarm optimization(BPSO)based hyper-heuristic for solving the SUKP,in which the BPSO is employed as a search methodology.The proposed approach has been evaluated on three sets of SUKP instances.The results are compared with 6 approaches:BABC,EMS,gPSO,DHJaya,b WSA,and HBPSO/TS,and demonstrate that the proposed approach for the SUKP outperforms other approaches.

Binary Gravitational Search based Algorithm for Optimum Siting and Sizing of DG and Shunt Capacitors in Radial Distribution Systems

This paper presents a binary gravitational search algorithm (BGSA) is applied to solve the problem of optimal allotment of DG sets and Shunt capacitors in radial distribution systems. The problem is formulated as a nonlinear constrained single-objective optimization problem where the total line loss (TLL) and the total voltage deviations (TVD) are to be minimized separately by incorporating optimal placement of DG units and shunt capacitors with constraints which include limits on voltage, sizes of installed capacitors and DG. This BGSA is applied on the balanced IEEE 10 Bus distribution network and the results are compared with conventional binary particle swarm optimization.

Multi-objective allocation of measuring binary particle swarm optimization

Due to the size and complexity of power network and the cost of monitoring and telecommunication equipment, it is unfeasible to monitor the whole system variables. All system analyzers use voltages and currents of the network. Thus, monitoring scheme plays a main role in system analysis, control, and protection. To monitor the whole system using distributed measurements, strategic placement of them is needed. This paper improves a topological circuit observation method to minimize essential monitors. Besides the observability under normal condition of power networks, the observability of abnormal network is considered. Consequently, a high level of system reliability is carried out. In terms of reliability constraint, identification of bad measurement data in a given measurement system by making theme sure to be detectable is well done. Furthermore, it is maintained by a certain level of reliability against the single-line outages. Thus, observability is satisfied if all possible single line outages are plausible. Consideration of these limitations clears the role of utilizing an optimization algorithm. Hence, particle swarm optimization （PSO） is used to minimize monitoring cost and removing unobser-vable states under abnormal condition, simultaneously. The algorithm is tested in IEEE 14 and 30-bus test systems and Iranian （Mazandaran） Regional Electric Company.

Optimal Allocation of a Hybrid Wind Energy-Fuel Cell System Using Different Optimization Techniques in the Egyptian Distribution Network

This paper presents an optimal proposed allocating procedure for hybrid wind energy combined with proton exchange membrane fuel cell (WE/PEMFC) system to improve the operation performance of the electrical distribution system (EDS). Egypt has an excellent wind regime with wind speeds of about 10 m/s at many areas. The disadvantage of wind energy is its seasonal variations. So, if wind power is to supply a significant portion of the demand, either backup power or electrical energy storage (EES) system is needed to ensure that loads will be supplied in reliable way. So, the hybrid WE/PEMFC system is designed to completely supply a part of the Egyptian distribution system, in attempt to isolate it from the grid. However, the optimal allocation of the hybrid units is obtained, in order to enhance their benefits in the distribution networks. The critical buses that are necessary to install the hybrid WE/ PEMFC system, are chosen using sensitivity analysis. Then, the binary Crow search algorithm (BCSA), discrete Jaya algorithm (DJA) and binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO) techniques are proposed to determine the optimal operation of power systems using single and multi-objective functions (SOF/MOF). Then, the results of the three optimization techniques are compared with each other. Three sensitivity factors are employed in this paper, which are voltage sensitivity factor (VSF), active losses sensitivity factor (ALSF) and reactive losses sensitivity factor (RLSF). The effects of the sensitivity factors (SFs) on the SOF/MOF are studied. The improvement of voltage profile and minimizing active and reactive power losses of the EDS are considered as objective functions. Backward/forward sweep (BFS) method is used for the load flow calculations. The system load demand is predicted up to year 2022 for Mersi-Matrouh City as a part of Egyptian distribution network, and the design of the hybrid WE/PEMFC system is applied. The PEMFC system is designed considering simplified mathematical expressions. The economics of operation of both WE and PEMFC system are also presented. The results prove the capability of the proposed procedure to find the optimal allocation for the hybrid WE/PEMFC system to improve the system voltage profile and to minimize both active and reactive power losses for the EDS of Mersi-Matrough City.
