Course scheduling is a combinatorial optimization problem with multiple constraints. To achieve the reasonable allocation of teaching resources, all courses should be arranged under a number of specified constraints. With the increased number of courses, the solution space increases exponentially. However, the traditional methods cannot quickly find the optimal solution. In order to overcome the disadvantages of low efficiency and the possibility of high conflict in traditional course scheduling, this research study proposes a course scheduling, method based on an improved binary cuckoo search algorithm (IBCS). First of all, a multi-objective and multi-constraint mathematical model of course scheduling is established. Course scheduling involves issues, such as allocating teachers, courses, classes, classrooms and time under specific constraints. The class element is defined to represent the class and the course that the teachers will teach. Therefore, the problem of course scheduling is transformed into the process of mapping from the class element to the classroom-time pair. Six hard constraints and three soft constraints are also defined accordingly. Then, the BCS algorithm is used to search the best course scheduling scheme in the binary-encoded solution space. In order to control the convergence rate effectively and avoid falling into the local optimum, a dynamically adjustable, equilibrium coefficient is introduced. Therefore, the algorithm retains the diversity of the solutions while converging. Finally, this research study constructs the data set and carries out the simulation experiment. It also compares the IBCS algorithm in this paper with the genetic algorithm and the standard binary cuckoo search algorithm (BCS). Experimental results show that the IBCS algorithm can converge in effective time. Meanwhile, it can achieve an improved global scheduling scheme with higher stability.

As recent Internet threats are evolving more rapidly than ever before, one of the major challenges in designing an intrusion detection system is to provide early and accurate detection of emerging threats. In this study, a novel framework is developed for fully unsupervised training and online anomaly detection. The framework is designed so that an initial model is constructed and then it gradually evolves according to the current state of online data without any human intervention. In the framework, a self-organizing map (SOM) that is seamlessly combined with K-means clustering is transformed into an adaptive and dynamic algorithm suitable for real-time processing. The performance of the proposed approach is evaluated through experiments using the well-known KDD Cup 1999 data set and further experiments using the honeypot data recently collected from Kyoto University. It is shown that the proposed approach can significantly increase the detection rate while the false alarm rate remains low. In particular, it is capable of detecting new types of attacks at the earliest possible time. 相似文献
We show that biogeography-based optimization (BBO) is a generalization of a genetic algorithm with global uniform recombination (GA/GUR). Based on the common features of BBO and GA/GUR, we use a previously-derived BBO Markov model to obtain a GA/GUR Markov model. One BBO characteristic which makes it distinctive from GA/GUR is its migration mechanism, which affects selection pressure (i.e., the probability of retaining certain features in the population from one generation to the next). We compare the BBO and GA/GUR algorithms using results from analytical Markov models and continuous optimization benchmark problems. We show that the unique selection pressure provided by BBO generally results in better optimization results for a set of standard benchmark problems. We also present comparisons between BBO and GA/GUR for combinatorial optimization problems, include the traveling salesman, the graph coloring, and the bin packing problems. 相似文献
