Orthogonal Array Based Performance Improvement In The Gravitational Search Algorithm, Ökkeş Tolga Altinöz, Asim Egemen Yilmaz, Gerhard Wilhelm Weber
Orthogonal Array Based Performance Improvement In The Gravitational Search Algorithm, Ökkeş Tolga Altinöz, Asim Egemen Yilmaz, Gerhard Wilhelm Weber
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The gravitational search algorithm (GSA) is a novel heuristic method inspired by Newton's gravity and velocity equations. In addition, it is a population-based algorithm, in which each member (called an agent) in the population has a mass, velocity, and acceleration. Beginning with the first population state, agents influence each other via mass and velocity relations. This mutual effect causes agents to reach the optimum. Hence, the performance of the GSA to attain the optimum is related to the initial population formation, like other population-based algorithms. In this study, the orthogonal array (OA) concept is applied and injected to the GSA …

A New Technique For Rare-Event Simulation Based On Partition Of The Region, Amir Jalaly Bidgoly, Mohammad Abdollahi Azgomi
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Rare events are an important limitation of discrete-event simulation in some areas of applications. The existing rare-event simulation (RES) techniques, such as importance sampling (IS), splitting, and RESTART, have been used for RES so far. However, these techniques not only have some limitations, but also are not general or easy to use. In this paper, the partition of the region (PoR) method is used as a variance reduction technique in a new RES technique for usage with a wide range of modeling and simulation languages. Three variants of the proposed technique will be introduced: simple PoR, recursive PoR, and advanced …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The unique features of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) make them suitable for a wide range of applications in many different areas. However, with many of the protocols and algorithms used in traditional wireless networks, it is usually neither feasible nor possible to apply them directly to WSNs due to the strict resource constraints of tiny sensor nodes. Moreover, application-specific approaches for communication protocols are usually imposed since WSN applications have distinct requirements. In this study, event-driven WSN applications, where a number of sensor nodes are randomly and densely deployed in remote and difficult to reach locations, are targeted. In such …

Optimized Features Selection For Gender Classification Using Optimization Algorithms, Sajid Ali Khan, Muhammad Nazir, Naveed Riaz
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Optimized feature selection is an important task in gender classification. The optimized features not only reduce the dimensions, but also reduce the error rate. In this paper, we have proposed a technique for the extraction of facial features using both appearance-based and geometric-based feature extraction methods. The extracted features are then optimized using particle swarm optimization (PSO) and the bee algorithm. The geometric-based features are optimized by PSO with ensemble classifier optimization by the genetic algorithm. Using this approach, we have obtained promising results in terms of the classification error rate and computation time minimization. Moreover, our optimized feature-based method …

Among the breast cancer screening methods available today, mammography is the most effective, although the low precision rate of breast biopsy caused by mammogram interpretation results in approximately 70% unnecessary biopsies with benign outcomes. The aim of this study was to extract strong diagnostic fuzzy rules for the inference engine of an expert system to be used for the diagnosis of breast cancer. These rules have been extracted through …
Multireference Tdoa-Based Source Localization, Hamid Torbati Fard, Mahmoud Atashbar, Yaser Norouzi, Farrokh Hojjat Kashani
Multireference Tdoa-Based Source Localization, Hamid Torbati Fard, Mahmoud Atashbar, Yaser Norouzi, Farrokh Hojjat Kashani
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Time difference of arrival (TDOA)-based methods usually achieve the most accurate source localization in passive systems. In these methods, one of the sensors is assigned as the reference and the TDOA of the others with respect to the reference is measured. The source location is estimated by processing these TDOAs. In this paper, a multireference maximum likelihood (ML)-Taylor algorithm is proposed in order to decrease the source localization error of the TDOA methods. In the proposed algorithm, TDOAs are measured assuming 2 different reference sensors, and then the ML objective function of this multireference TDOA algorithm is derived and solved …

Composite Power System Adequacy Assessment Based On Postoptimal Analysis, Amir Safdarian, Mahmood Fotuhi-Firuzabad, Farrokh Aminifar
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The modeling and evaluation of enormous numbers of contingencies are the most challenging impediments associated with composite power system adequacy assessment, particularly for large-scale power systems. Optimal power flow (OPF) solution, as a widely common approach, is normally employed to model and analyze each individual contingency as an independent problem. However, mathematical representations associated with diverse states are slightly different in one or a few generating units, line outages, or trivial load variations. This inherent attribute brings a promising idea to speed up the contingency evaluation procedure. In this paper, postoptimal analysis (POA), as a well-recognized technique to attack a …
A Novel Multirobot Map Fusion Strategy For Occupancy Grid Maps, Sebahatti̇n Topal, İsmet Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref Erkmen
A Novel Multirobot Map Fusion Strategy For Occupancy Grid Maps, Sebahatti̇n Topal, İsmet Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref Erkmen
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, we consider the problem of merging partial occupancy grid environment maps, which are extracted independently by individual robot units during search and rescue (SAR) operations in icomplex disaster environments. Moreover, these maps are combined using intensity-based and area-based features without knowing the initial position and orientation of the robots. Our proposed approach handles the limitation of existing studies in the literature; for example, the limited overlapped area between partial maps of robots is enough for good merging performance and unstructured and complex partial environment maps can be merged efficiently. These abilities allow multirobot teams to efficiently generate …
A Bacterial Foraging Optimization Approach For Tuning Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Controller, Mohammad Kiani, Seyed Mohammad Ali Mohammadi, Ali Akbar Gharaveisi
A Bacterial Foraging Optimization Approach For Tuning Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Controller, Mohammad Kiani, Seyed Mohammad Ali Mohammadi, Ali Akbar Gharaveisi
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The type-1 fuzzy sets theory was proposed to handle uncertainty in control systems, but some cases showed some liabilities of type-1 fuzzy sets when faced with unpredictable disturbance and uncertainties. Therefore, type-2 fuzzy sets were introduced and extended while providing more degrees of freedom in designing criteria. The most important specification of type-2 fuzzy sets is the interval between a superior membership function and an inferior membership function, which is called the footprint of uncertainty. This paper presents a bacterial foraging optimization approach for optimizing the parameterized membership function. The above criterion is applied to an automatic voltage regulator system …

Design And Evaluation Of Schemes For Computing Sum Of Squares In Fixed Point, Meti̇n Mete Özbi̇len, Milos D. Ercegovac
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Several schemes for computing the sum of squares for fixed point numbers are designed, synthesized, and evaluated in this study. The schemes use radix-2 folding, radix-4 folding, and radix-4 dual recoding approaches for squaring. The schemes have been modeled in hardware description language, simulated, and synthesized using Cadence SOC81 in 45 nm and 90 nm libraries and with Mentor Graphics Leonardo Spectrum for 180 nm. We show delay and area for 16-, 24-, and 32-bit operands. After hard-wire and software optimizations, it is seen that schemes with radix-4 give better results, especially in area.

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Single path routing protocols for Internet access in bus networks (composed of traveling city public buses) may not achieve satisfactory performance because of frequent bus mobility. This paper studies the opportunistic routing protocols in bus networks to improve the system throughput and reduce the access delay. In this paper, we first propose an end-to-end transmission time (EET)-based opportunistic routing (OR) framework. We then derive 3 EET-based OR protocols, EETOR (EET-based OR), EETMcOR (EET-based OR with MAC contention consideration), and EETCcOR (EET-based OR with congestion control consideration), which consider 3 different EET metrics. EETOR considers the network layer transmission behavior to …

Novel Control Strategy For Voltage Source Converters Based On Energy Function, Sanaz Namayan Tavana, Gevork Gharehpetian, Mehrdad Abedi, Ali Bidadfar
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper proposes a nonlinear control strategy for pulse-width modulated voltage source converters (VSCs). A passivity-based approach, resulting from the Lyapunov direct method, is presented for designing an effective nonlinear VSC controller to improve their dynamic behaviors under perturbed conditions. The differential equations of the converters are obtained and then transformed into a d-q frame. Considering the nonlinearity of the transformed equations, the Lyapunov direct method is utilized to find a solution to improve the transient response. The time derivative of the Lyapunov function guarantees that increasing its dissipative term will result in the trajectory of the VSC system returning …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper addresses coalition formation, based on agent capabilities, centered on task allocation in emergency-response environments (EREs). EREs are environments that need fast task completion as their main requirement. We propose a team-based organization model, based on an existing organization model for adaptive complex systems. The model has some key characteristics that are beneficial for EREs: agents act in dynamic, open domains; agents collaborate in completing group tasks; agents may have similar types of capabilities, but at different levels; tasks need different agent capabilities, at collective different levels; and agents are supervised in a partially decentralized manner. We formulate task …
