With the rapid development of 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT), the traditional cloud computing architecture struggle to support the booming computation-intensive and latency-sensitive applications. Mobile edge computing (MEC) has emerged as a solution which enables abundant IoT tasks to be offloaded to edge services. However, task offloading and resource allocation remain challenges in MEC framework. In this paper, we add the total number of offloaded tasks to the optimization objective and apply algorithm called Deep Learning Trained by Genetic Algorithm (DL-GA) to maximize the value function, which is defined as a weighted sum of energy consumption, latency, and …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Software quality assurance is one of the crucial factors for the success of software projects. Bug fixing has an essential role in software quality assurance, and bug localization (BL) is the first step of this process. BL is difficult and time-consuming since the developers should understand the flow, coding structure, and the logic of the program. Information retrieval-based bug localization (IRBL) uses the information of bug reports and source code to locate the section of code in which the bug occurs. It is difficult to apply other tools because of the diversity of software development languages, design patterns, and development …

One of the critical factors that make a search engine fast and accurate is a concise and duplicate free index. In order to remove duplicate and near-duplicate (DND) documents from the index, a search engine needs a swift and reliable DND text document detection system. Traditional approaches to this problem, such as brute force comparisons or simple hash-based algorithms, are not suitable as they are not scalable and are not capable of detecting near-duplicate documents effectively. In this paper, a new signature-based approach to text similarity detection is introduced, which is fast, scalable, and reliable and needs less storage space. …

In the second alternative, however, the annual energy production was maximized while minimizing the maximum drag force developed between the cut-in and cut-off wind speeds. Computational uid dynamics solutions performed for selected best designs showed that optimizations performed using the second alternative yielded better turbines, which could produce more power …


An Improved Omthd Technique For An N-Level Cascaded Multilevel Inverter With Adjustable Dc Sources, Hamidreza Toodeji Jan 2017

An Improved Omthd Technique For An N-Level Cascaded Multilevel Inverter With Adjustable Dc Sources, Hamidreza Toodeji

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Optimal minimization of total harmonic distortion (OMTHD) and selective harmonic elimination (SHE) switching techniques are usually employed to reduce generated harmonics of multilevel inverters. In the former technique, the THD of waveform is reduced without elimination of any harmonic order and the latter, in contrast, eliminates selected harmonic orders. In this paper, the harmonic elimination ability of the SHE technique is added to OMTHD and an improved OMTHD technique is proposed for an n-level cascaded multilevel inverter with adjustable DC sources. The main novelty of this switching technique is elimination of some harmonic orders, beside THD minimization. Moreover, optimal DC …

Nodes in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) suffer from limited battery power and bandwidth. Particularly for real time multimedia communications through MANET, metrics like residual node energy, bandwidth, and end-to-end delay have major impacts. In MANET, designing a dynamic routing algorithm to satisfy quality of service (QoS) requirements is a challenging task. Additionally, multiconstrained QoS routing aims to optimize multiple QoS metrics while providing required network resources and is an admittedly complex problem. It has been proved to be NP-complete when a combination of additive, concave, and multiplicative metrics are considered. Hence, this problem can be solved using metaheuristic methods …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The unit commitment problem (UCP) is a nonlinear, mixed-integer, constraint optimization problem and is considered a complex problem in electrical power systems. It is the combination of two interlinked subproblems, namely the generator scheduling problem and the generation allocation problem. In large systems, the UCP turns out to be increasingly complicated due to the large number of possible ON and OFF combinations of units in the power system over a scheduling time horizon. Due to the insufficiency of conventional approaches in handling large systems, numerous metaheuristic techniques are being developed for solving this problem. The genetic algorithm (GA) is one …
