多向学习自适应的粒子群算法

粒子群优化算法（PSO）是一种群体智能算法,通过粒子间的竞争和协作以实现在复杂搜索空间中寻找全局最优点。但基本PSO算法存在进化后期收敛速度慢、易陷入局部最优点的缺点,提出了一种多向学习型的粒子群优化算法,该算法中粒子通过同时追随自己找到的最优解、随机的其他粒子同维度的最优解和整个群的最优解来完成速度更新,通过判别区域边界来完成位置优化更新,通过对全局最优位置进行小范围扰动,以增强算法跳出局部最优的能力。对几种典型函数的测试结果表明：改进后的粒子群算法明显改善了全局搜索能力,并且能够有效避免早熟收敛问题。算法使高维优化问题中全局最优解相对搜索空间位置的鲁棒性得到了明显提高,适合于求解同类问题,计算结果能满足实际工程的要求。

多量子粒子群协同优化算法研究

针对标准粒子群优化（PSO）算法及其改进算法存在的局部收敛与收敛速度问题,提出了一种多量子粒子群协同优化（QPSCO）方法。该算法采用双层的多粒子群协同优化结构：用多个量子粒子群在底层独立地搜索解空间,同时引入参数变异策略,以扩大搜索范围;上层用1个量子粒子群追逐当前全局最优解,并对飞离搜索区域粒子的位置用新位置取代,以加快算法收敛。在此基础上,将该算法应用于实际控制系统低阶时滞对象的PID控制器设计中。仿真结果表明,QPSCO是一种有效的参数优化算法,与标准PSO、QPSO等算法相比具有更好的全局收敛性能。

为了保持粒子种群的多样性而避免发生“早熟”的问题,提出一种基于差异演化变异的粒子群优化算法（PSO）,该方法通过粒子聚集性判断如果粒子群中的粒子过于聚集,则使用差异演化算法对PSO算法中各个粒子的自身历史最佳位置进行变异,以实现保持粒子群种群多样性的目的。对4种常用函数的优化问题进行测试并进行比较,结果表明：所改进的粒子群优化算法比标准粒子群优化算法更容易找到全局最优解,优化效率和优化性能明显提高。     

基于群体爬山策略的混合粒子群优化算法

针对粒子群优化算法（PSO）在求解高维复杂优化问题时存在搜索精度不高和易陷入局部最优解的缺陷,借鉴混合蛙跳算法（SFLA）的群体爬山思想,提出一种基于群体爬山策略的混合粒子群优化算法（CMCPSO）,并证明了CMCPSO算法的全局收敛性。对四个典型高维连续优化函数的求解表明,该算法不仅保持了PSO算法的快速收敛能力,而且吸收了SFLA算法局部精细搜索和保持种群多样性的优点,具有良好的全局收敛性。     

基于实数编码的自适应粒子群优化算法

提出了一种新的自适应粒子群优化算法(AMPSO)。该算法在运行过程中根据粒子群多样性的度量指标大小和当前最优解的大小来确定最优粒子的变异概率以对算法进行自适应变异,从而有效地增强了粒子群优化(PSO)算法跳出局部最优解的能力,使PSO算法既摆脱了后期易陷入局部最优点的束缚,又保持了其前期搜索速度快的优点。对几个典型函数的测试结果表明,该算法是非常有效的。     

一种催化粒子群算法及其性能分析

针对粒子群算法（PSO）在解决高维、多模复杂问题时容易陷入局部最优的问题,提出了一种新颖的混合算法—催化粒子群算法（CPSO）。在CPSO优化过程中,种群中的粒子始终保持其个体历史最优值pbests。CPSO种群更新由改造PSO、横向交叉以及垂直交叉三个搜索算子交替进行,其中,每个算子产生的中庸解均通过贪婪思想产生占优解pbests,并作为下一个算子的父代种群。在CPSO中,纵横交叉算法（CSO）作为PSO的加速催化剂,一方面通过横向交叉改善PSO的全局收敛性能,另一方面通过纵向交叉维持种群的多样性。对6个典型benchmark函数的仿真结果表明,相比其它主流PSO变体,CPSO在全局收敛能力和收敛速率方面具有明显优势。     

基于二次搜索的改进粒子群算法

针对标准粒子群优化（PSO）算法在求解复杂优化问题中出现的早熟收敛问题,提出一种结合梯度下降法的二次搜索粒子群算法。首先,当全局极值超过预设的最大不变迭代次数时,判断全局极值点处于极值陷阱中;然后,采用梯度下降法进行二次搜索,并以最优极值点为中心、某一具体半径设定禁忌区域,防止粒子重复搜索该区域;最后,依据种群多样性准则生成新粒子,替代被淘汰的粒子。将二次搜索粒子群算法及其他四种典型的改进粒子群算法分别应用于四种典型测试函数的优化,仿真结果表明,二次搜索粒子群算法收敛精度最高提升了10个数量级,并且收敛速度较快更容易寻找全局最优解。     

Only connect: teaching, technology and telesis

Abstract This paper describes an approach to the design of interactive multimedia materials being developed in a European Community project. The developmental process is seen as a dialogue between technologists and teachers. This dialogue is often problematic because of the differences in training, experience and culture between them. Conditions needed for fruitful dialogue are described and the generic model for learning design used in the project is explained.     

European Community policy and the market

Abstract This paper starts with some reflections on the policy considerations and priorities which are shaping European Commission (EC) research programmes. Then it attempts to position the current projects which seek to capitalise on information and communications technologies for learning in relation to these priorities and the apparent realities of the marketplace. It concludes that while there are grounds to be optimistic about the contribution EC programmes can make to the efficiency and standard of education and training, they are still too technology driven.

Avoiding semantic and temporal gaps in developing software intensive systems

Development of software intensive systems (systems) in practice involves a series of self-contained phases for the lifecycle of a system. Semantic and temporal gaps, which occur among phases and among developer disciplines within and across phases, hinder the ongoing development of a system because of the interdependencies among phases and among disciplines. Such gaps are magnified among systems that are developed at different times by different development teams, which may limit reuse of artifacts of systems development and interoperability among the systems. This article discusses such gaps and a systems development process for avoiding them.     

Designing economic np control charts: A programmed simulation approach

This paper presents control charts models and the necessary simulation software for the location of economic values of the control parameters. The simulation program is written in FORTRAN, requires only 10K of main storage, and can run on most mini and micro computers. Two models are presented - one describes the process when it is operating at full capacity and the other when the process is operating under capacity. The models allow the product quality to deteriorate to a further level before an existing out-of-control state is detected, and they can also be used in situations where no prior knowledge exists of the out-of-control causes and the resulting proportion defectives.     

The development of robot art

Going through a few examples of robot artists who are recognized worldwide, we try to analyze the deepest meaning of what is called “robot art” and the related art field definition. We also try to highlight its well-marked borders, such as kinetic sculptures, kinetic art, cyber art, and cyberpunk. A brief excursion into the importance of the context, the message, and its semiotics is also provided, case by case, together with a few hints on the history of this discipline in the light of an artistic perspective. Therefore, the aim of this article is to try to summarize the main characteristics that might classify robot art as a unique and innovative discipline, and to track down some of the principles by which a robotic artifact can or cannot be considered an art piece in terms of social, cultural, and strictly artistic interest. This work was presented in part at the 13th International Symposium on Artificial Life and Robotics, Oita, Japan, January 31–February 2, 2008     

Explanation and prediction: an architecture for default and abductive reasoning

Although there are many arguments that logic is an appropriate tool for artificial intelligence, there has been a perceived problem with the monotonicity of classical logic. This paper elaborates on the idea that reasoning should be viewed as theory formation where logic tells us the consequences of our assumptions. The two activities of predicting what is expected to be true and explaining observations are considered in a simple theory formation framework. Properties of each activity are discussed, along with a number of proposals as to what should be predicted or accepted as reasonable explanations. An architecture is proposed to combine explanation and prediction into one coherent framework. Algorithms used to implement the system as well as examples from a running implementation are given.     

Three Process Perspectives: Organizations, Teams, and People

This paper provides the author's personal views and perspectives on software process improvement. Starting with his first work on technology assessment in IBM over 20 years ago, Watts Humphrey describes the process improvement work he has been directly involved in. This includes the development of the early process assessment methods, the original design of the CMM, and the introduction of the Personal Software Process (PSP)^SM and Team Software Process (TSP){^SM}. In addition to describing the original motivation for this work, the author also reviews many of the problems he and his associates encountered and why they solved them the way they did. He also comments on the outstanding issues and likely directions for future work. Finally, this work has built on the experiences and contributions of many people. Mr. Humphrey only describes work that he was personally involved in and he names many of the key contributors. However, so many people have been involved in this work that a full list of the important participants would be impractical.     

基于复小波噪声方差显著修正的SAR图像去噪

提出了一种基于复小波域统计建模与噪声方差估计显著性修正相结合的合成孔径雷达(Synthetic Aperture Radar,SAR)图像斑点噪声滤波方法。该方法首先通过对数变换将乘性噪声模型转化为加性噪声模型,然后对变换后的图像进行双树复小波变换(Dualtree Complex Wavelet Transform,DCWT),并对复数小波系数的统计分布进行建模。在此先验分布的基础上,通过运用贝叶斯估计方法从含噪系数中恢复原始系数,达到滤除噪声的目的。实验结果表明该方法在去除噪声的同时保留了图像的细节信息,取得了很好的降噪效果。     

How do children do mathematics with LOGO?

Abstract  This paper considers some results of a study designed to investigate the kinds of mathematical activity undertaken by children (aged between 8 and 11) as they learned to program in LOGO. A model of learning modes is proposed, which attempts to describe the ways in which children used and acquired understanding of the programming/mathematical concepts involved. The remainder of the paper is concerned with discussing the validity and limitations of the model, and its implications for further research and curriculum development.
