Brain image clustering by wavelet energy and CBSSO optimization algorithm by Mohammad Sedaghat, Hasan Hosseinzadeh

“…This paper suggests a new method based on wavelet energy to automatically classify magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain images into two groups (normal and abnormal), utilizing support vector machine (SVM) classification based on chaotic binary shark smell optimization (CBSSO) to optimize the SVM weights. The results of the suggested CBSSO-based KSVM are compared favorably to several other methods in terms of better sensitivity and authenticity. …”

On the performance optimization for the cloud architecture with sleep-mode and registration service by Shunfu JIN, Haixing WU, Tiantian HUO, Wenjuan ZHAO

“…In order to balance the energy conservation and the service quality for anonymous users,a novel sleep-mode based architecture with the free cloud service and the registration cloud service was proposed.Regarding the free cloud service as the first service,the registration cloud service as the second service and the sleep sate as the vacation,a partial asynchronous multiple vacation queueing model with a second optional service was built.Applying the method of a matrix-geometric solution,the steady-state distribution of the queueing model was derived,and then the energy saving rate of system as well as the average response time of anonymous users were estimated.By considering the benefits from accessing the cloud service and the time cost on waiting for the cloud service,benefit functions were constructed.Numerical results were carried out to reveal the relationship between Nash equilibrium arrival rate and social optimal arrival rate of anonymous users.The proposed cloud architecture provides a theoretical basis for social optimization.…”

User interest-aware content replica optimized placement algorithm by Xiao-long YANG, Xin-xin WANG, Min ZHANG, Ke-ping LONG, Qiong HUANG

“…A user interest-aware content replica optimized placement algorithm (UIARP) is proposed.Firstly,the interest subjects of the user-collective are extracted from their content access logs by clustering algorithms,and according to the weighting of the individual interest degree,their collective interest degree would be got and updated in real time; then under the nonlinear optimization model,replicas of larger collective interest degree have priority to be placed,with the goal of minimizing the average response time,which achieves the maximum match between placing replicas and users’ content demand.This algorithm not only ensures that users get interested replicas quickly,but also improves the system efficiency.From four aspects including average response time,the matching degree of request response,load balancing and the utilization rate of adjacent replicas,using 1-Greedy-Insert or others as compared algorithms,the simulation re-sults show that each metric improves by 30% on average,which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.…”
