Metaheuristic Algorithms: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract: Metaheuristic algorithms are computational intelligence paradigms especially used for sophisticated solving optimization problems. This chapter aims to review of all metaheuristics related issues. First, metaheuristic algorithms were divided according to metaphor based and non-metaphor based in order to differentiate between them in searching schemes and clarify how the metaphor based algorithms simulate the selected phenomenon behavior in the search area. The major algorithms in each metaphor subcategory are discussed including: Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Water Waves Optimization (WWO), Clonal Selection Algorithm (CLONALG), Chemical Reaction Optimization (CRO), Harmony Search (HS), Sine Cosine Algorithm (SCA), Simulated Annealing (SA), Teaching–Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO), League Championship Algorithm (LCA), and others. Also, some non-metaphor based metaheuristics are explained as Tabu Search (TS), Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS). Second, different variants of metaheuristics are categorized into improved metaheuristics, adaptive, hybridized metaheuristics. Also, various examples are discussed. Third, a real-time case study “Welded Beam Design Problem” is solved with 10 different metaheuristics and the experimental results are statistically analyzed with non-parametric Friedman test in order to estimate the different performance of metaheuristics. Finally, limitation and new trends of metaheuristics are discussed. Besides, the chapter is accompanied with literature survey of existing metaheuristics with references for more details.

An improved nature inspired meta-heuristic algorithm for 1-D bin packing problems

Abstract: Bin packing problem (BPP) is a classical combinatorial optimization problem widely used in a wide range of fields. The main aim of this paper is to propose a new variant of whale optimization algorithm named improved L?vy-based whale optimization algorithm (ILWOA). The proposed ILWOA adapts it to search the combinatorial search space of BPP problems. The performance of ILWOA is evaluated through two experiments on benchmarks with varying difficulty and BPP case studies. The experimental results confirm the prosperity of the proposed algorithm in proficiency to find the optimal solution and convergence speed. Further, the obtained results are discussed and analyzed according to the problem size.

Smart Supervision of Cardiomyopathy Based on Fuzzy Harris Hawks Optimizer and Wearable Sensing Data Optimization: A New Model

Abstract: Cardiomyopathy is a disease category that describes the diseases of the heart muscle. It can infect all ages with different serious complications, such as heart failure and sudden cardiac arrest. Usually, signs and symptoms of cardiomyopathy include abnormal heart rhythms, dizziness, lightheadedness, and fainting. Smart devices have blown up a nonclinical revolution to heart patients’ monitoring. In particular, motion sensors can concurrently monitor patients’ abnormal movements. Smart wearables can efficiently track abnormal heart rhythms. These intelligent wearables emitted data must be adequately processed to make the right decisions for heart patients. In this article, a comprehensive, optimized model is introduced for smart monitoring of cardiomyopathy patients via sensors and wearable devices. The proposed model includes two new proposed algorithms. First, a fuzzy Harris hawks optimizer (FHHO) is introduced to increase the coverage of monitored patients by redistributing sensors in the observed area via the hybridization of artificial intelligence (AI) and fuzzy logic (FL). Second, we introduced wearable sensing data optimization (WSDO), which is a novel algorithm for the accurate and reliable handling of cardiomyopathy sensing data. After testing and verification, FHHO proves to enhance patient coverage and reduce the number of needed sensors. Meanwhile, WSDO is employed for the detection of heart rate and failure in large simulations. These experimental results indicate that WSDO can efficiently refine the sensing data with high accuracy rates and low time cost.

Contributions and risks of artificial intelligence (AI) in building smarter cities: Insights from a systematic review of the literature

Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most disruptive technologies of our time. Interest in the use of AI for urban innovation continues to grow. Particularly, the rise of smart cities—urban locations that are enabled by community, technology, and policy to deliver productivity, innovation, livability, wellbeing, sustainability, accessibility, good governance, and good planning—has increased the demand for AI-enabled innovations. There is, nevertheless, no scholarly work that provides a comprehensive review on the topic. This paper generates insights into how AI can contribute to the development of smarter cities. A systematic review of the literature is selected as the methodologic approach. Results are categorized under the main smart city development dimensions, i.e., economy, society, environment, and governance. The findings of the systematic review containing 93 articles disclose that: (a) AI in the context of smart cities is an emerging field of research and practice. (b) The central focus of the literature is on AI technologies, algorithms, and their current and prospective applications. (c) AI applications in the context of smart cities mainly concentrate on business efficiency, data analytics, education, energy, environmental sustainability, health, land use, security, transport, and urban management areas. (d) There is limited scholarly research investigating the risks of wider AI utilization. (e) Upcoming disruptions of AI in cities and societies have not been adequately examined. Current and potential contributions of AI to the development of smarter cities are outlined in this paper to inform scholars of prospective areas for further research.

An enhanced associative learning-based exploratory whale optimizer for global optimization

Abstract: Whale optimization algorithm (WOA) is a recent nature-inspired metaheuristic that mimics the cooperative life of humpback whales and their spiral-shaped hunting mechanism. In this research, it is first argued that the exploitation tendency of WOA is limited and can be considered as one of the main drawbacks of this algorithm. In order to mitigate the problems of immature convergence and stagnation problems, the exploitative and exploratory capabilities of modified WOA in conjunction with a learning mechanism are improved. In this regard, the proposed WOA with associative learning approaches is combined with a recent variant of hill climbing local search to further enhance the exploitation process. The improved algorithm is then employed to tackle a wide range of numerical optimization problems. The results are compared with different well-known and novel techniques on multi-dimensional classic problems and new CEC 2017 test suite. The extensive experiments and statistical tests show the superiority of the proposed BMWOA compared to WOA and several well-established algorithms.

A Comprehensive Survey of the Internet of Things (IoT) and AI-Based Smart Healthcare

Abstract: Smart health care is an important aspect of connected living. Health care is one of the basic pillars of human need, and smart health care is projected to produce several billion dollars in revenue in the near future. There are several components of smart health care, including the Internet of Things (IoT), the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), medical sensors, artificial intelligence (AI), edge computing, cloud computing, and next-generation wireless communication technology. Many papers in the literature deal with smart health care or health care in general. Here, we present a comprehensive survey of IoT- and IoMT-based edge-intelligent smart health care, mainly focusing on journal articles published between 2014 and 2020. We survey this literature by answering several research areas on IoT and IoMT, AI, edge and cloud computing, security, and medical signals fusion. We also address current research challenges and offer some future research directions.
