Focusing on the drawback that Discovering Maximum Frequent Itemsets Algorithm (DMFIA) has to generate lots of maximum frequent candidate itemsets in each dimension when given datasets with many candidate items and each maximum frequent itemset is not long, an improved Algorithm for mining Maximum Frequent Itemsets based of Frequent-Pattern tree (FP-MFIA) for mining maximum frequent itemsets based on FP-tree was proposed. According to Htable of FP-tree, this algorithm used bottom-up searches to mine maximum frequent itemsets, thus accelerated the count of candidates. Producing infrequent itemsets with lower dimension according to conditional pattern base of every layer when mining, cutting and reducing dimensions of candidate itemsets can largely reduce the amount of candidate itemsets. At the same time taking full advantage of properties of maximum frequent itemsets will reduce the search space. The time efficiency of FP-MFIA is at least two times as much as the algorithm of DMFIA and BDRFI (algorithm for mining frequent itemsets based on dimensionality reduction of frequent itemset) according to computational time contrast based on different supports. It shows that FP-MFIA has a clear advantage when candidate itemsets are with high dimension.
A Novel Quantum Differential Evolutionary (NQDE) algorithm was proposed for the Blocking Flowshop Scheduling Problem (BFSP) to minimize the makespan. The NQDE algorithm combined Quantum Evolutionary Algorithm (QEA) with Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm, and a novel quantum rotating gate was designed to control the evolutionary trend and increase the diversity of population. An effective Quantum-inspired Evolutionary Algorithm-Variable Neighborhood Search (QEA-VNS) co-evolutionary strategy was also developed to enhance the global search ability of the algorithm and to further improve the solution quality. The proposed algorithm was tested on the Taillard's benchmark instances, and the results show that the number of optimal solutions obtained by NQDE is bigger than the current better heuristic algorithm-Improved Nawaz-Enscore-Ham Heuristic (INEH) evidently. Specifically, the optimal solutions of 64 instances in the 110 instances are improved by NQDE. Moreover, the performance of NQDE is superior to the valid meta-heuristic algorithm-New Modified Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm (NMSFLA) and Hybrid Quantum DE (HQDE), and the Average Relative Percentage Deviation (ARPD) of NQDE algorithm decreases by 6% contrasted with the latter ones. So it is proved that NQDE algorithm is suitable for the large scale BFSP.
The resources of sensor nodes are limited, while high communication overhead will consume much power. In order to reduce the communication overhead of distributed streaming data clustering algorithm, a new efficient algorithm with two phases, including online local clustering and offline coordinate clustering, was proposed. The online local clustering algorithm clustered data on each remote stream data source, then sent the results to the collaborative node by serialization method. The collaborative node collected and analyzed all local clusters to get the global clusters. The experimental results show that the time for sending data is constant, the time for clustering and total time linearly grow with increasing size of sliding window, which means that the execution time of the algorithm is not affected by sliding window size and cluster number. The accuracy of the proposed algorithm is close to centralized algorithm, and the communication overhead is far less than distributed algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has good scalability, and can be applied to the clustering analysis of distributed large-scale streaming data.
To solve the problem of discontinuity when blending two surfaces with coplanar perpendicular axis, this paper discussed how to improve the equations about the blending surface so as to obtain the smooth and continuous blending surface. At first, this paper analyzed the reason of the uncontinuousness in the blending surface and pointed out that the items in one variable were removed when other variables equaled to some specified values. In this case, the blending equation was independent to this variable in these values and this indicated that the belending surface was disconnected. Then, a method which guarantees the blending surface countinuous was presented on the basis of above discussion. Besides this, this paper discussed how to smoothen it once the continuous blending surface was computed out. As for the G0 blending surface, regarding the polynomial of auxiliary surface as a factor, this factor was mulitiplied to a function f′ with degree one and the result was added to the primary surface fi. The smoothness of blending surface can be implemented by changing the coefficients in f. For the Gn blending surface, a compensated polynomial with degree at most 2 was added to the proposed primary blending equation directly when computing blending surface. This method smoothens the blending surface but does not increase the degree of G0 blending surface.
To solve the congestion problem at node in delay tolerant networks, an active congestion control strategy based on historical probability was proposed. The strategy put forward the concept of referenced probability that could be adjusted dynamically by the degree of congestion. Referenced probability would control the forwarding conditions to avoid and control the congestion at node. At the same time the utilization of idle resources and the transmission efficiency of the network would be promoted. The simulation results show that the strategy upgrades delivery ratio of the entire network and reduces the load ratio and message loss rate. As a result, the active congestion control is realized and the transmission performance of the network is enhanced.
Aiming at the deficiency of traditional text representation model, which usually ignores term correlation, and topic drifting problem during topic tracking, this paper propose an approach called self-adaptive microblog hot topic tracking method using terms correlation. Mutual information between terms in the same and different microblogs are investigated. Then the conventional text representation model is updated. Similarity calculation is performed to decide whether it is the subsequent discussions of a certain hot topic. Finally, the vectors of microblogs are updated to avoid topic drifting. Experiments show the effectiveness of our method.
The events correlation techniques in security integration management systems were introduced. A normal architecture of the correlation engine was introduced, and some discussions on the critical technologies and the main achievements in the field were put forward. The directions of the technology development were analyzed and evaluated, such as pattern obtainment, engine distribution and performance promotion. At last, a solution based on hierarchical rules to correlate events was presented.
