Applying improved particle swarm optimization for dynamic service composition focusing on quality of service evaluations under hybrid networks

Abstract

Hybrid services use different protocols on various networks, such as WIFI networks, Bluetooth networks, 5G communications systems, and wireless sensor networks. Hybrid service compositions can be varied, representing an effective method of integrating into wireless scenarios context-aware applications that can sense mobility via changes in user location and combining services to support target functions. In this article, improved particle swarm optimization is introduced into the quality service evaluation of dynamic service composition to meet the mobility requirements of hybrid networks. First, this work classifies hybrid services into different task groups to generate candidate sets and then interface matching is used to compare the operations of candidate services with user requirements to select the appropriate services. Second, the service composition is determined by the particle swarm optimization simulation process, which aims to identify an optimal plan based on the calculated value from quality of service. Third, considering a change of service repository, when the quality of a composite service is lower than a predefined threshold, the local greedy algorithm and global reconfiguration method are adopted to dynamically restructure composite services. Finally, a set of experiments is conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for determining the dynamic service composition, particularly when the scale of hybrid services is large. The method provides a technical reference for engineering practice that will fulfill mobile computing needs.

Group recommendation based on hybrid trust metric

“…GR is an important application problem in many social activities and industries, such as online shopping, music sharing and group travelling. GR belongs to social services [10], so it inevitably emphasizes the service quality (QoS) [11], and privacy preservation and dynamicity [12]. Service recommendation research has a long history, along with personalized recommendation technology, such as collaborative filtering (CF) [13], matrix decomposition (MF) [14] and deep learning (DL) [15] have been widely studied and the research on group recommendation is still very limited.…”

Predicting Taxi Demand Based on 3D Convolutional Neural Network and Multi-task Learning

“…Machine learning has been widely used in various fields, such as recommendation system [14,15], service computing [16][17][18][19][20][21], prediction problem [22][23][24][25], edge computing [26,27], and so on. In recent years, deep learning has been widely used in many research fields with great success in the fields of computer vision and natural language processing [28][29][30].…”

Regularized extreme learning machine–based intelligent adaptive control for uncertain nonlinear systems in networked control systems

“…Overfitting is easily caused by too many hidden layer nodes, and too few hidden layer nodes will make the training of ELM inadequate. All these problems make ELM ineffective in data regression [30]. The proposed MELM algorithm adds the penalty function of norm L 1 into regularized ELM model, and its form can be written as…”
