Collapse Button Quick Abstract
The present study focuses on the development of a web cloud based connectivity platform to apply in the context of cycling. One of the main challenges in using bicycle as mean of transportation is related to the cyclists safety and risk perception. In response to that problem, we propose an IoT based module, that will be embedded in the bicycle, allowing sensor data collection and real time sending to the connectivity platform. The data will be used to perceive cyclists route choice preferences, give support to stakeholders either in making new policies to promote bike use or to give cyclist suggestions about the most convenient route, depending on his profile. The main objective is to transform a traditional bicycle into a mobile sensor in the city. The connectivity platform will enable several services, so the bicycle can easily be integrated in a free floating bike-sharing environment.

Collapse Button Quick Abstract
The exponential growth on the number of mobile devices and their capabilities are leveraging new possibilities of networking architectures for processing, storing, and exchanging of information. At a glance, existing architectures take advantage of these devices, the social behavior of their users, and/or the dynamicity on resource usage. Despite of the potential of existing initiatives, they do not interoperate which reduce their applications and deployment. As we walk towards a very dynamic world (regarding the user needs and characteristics, the information traversing the network, and the networking capability to adaptation at both users features and content of the demands levels), these architectures should merge into a solution that fits any type of scenario. In this paper, we specify an opportunistic, socially-driven, self-organizing, cloud networking architecture using a future Internet proposal named NovaGenesis. We highlight the requirements and solutions that NovaGenesis brings to accommodate the inherent challenges of today’s dynamic networking scenario. Thus, we describe a convergent architecture, which integrates the new requirements with the already implemented NovaGenesis features.

Collapse Button Quick Abstract
The advent of the digital television in Brazil has allowed users to access interactive channels. Once interactive channels are available, the users are able to find multimedia content such as movies and breaking news programs, to send and/or receive emails, to access interactive applications and also other contents. In this context, a high demand of requests from users is expected. Therefore, from the content provider's point of view, the determination of transmission parameters is needed in order to ensure the best quality of transmission to every user. The aforementioned identification problem is modelled as an optimization problem and a solution procedure based on metaheuristic techniques is proposed. Genetic Algorithm and Tabu Search metaheuristics are employed separately and coupled in a hybrid scheme to define the best transmission policy, optimizing the transmission parameters, such as audio and video transmission rates. Based on the experimental results, the hybrid algorithm has produced better solutions which meet the quality requirements.

Digital Object Identifier: 10.5220/0005063403320339

Proceedings of ICINCO 2014, ISBN: 978-989-758-039-0

Collapse Button Quick Abstract
This paper aims to present a solution for the Manufacturing Cell Formation Problem through the use of a multithreading Tabu Search that uses deterministic methods to effectively explore local optimum areas. Manufacturing Cell Formation problem involves the process of analysing parts and groups them according to their similarity. This paper aims maximize the production efficiency, by minimizing the machine setup time in a limited magazine size through the reduction of tool changes by creating clusters of parts that share machining tools and present an initial scheduling based on tool changes reduction. In order to valid the proposed algorithm, the results obtained are compared against other Tabu Search solutions proposed in the literature.

Digital Object Identifier: 10.5220/0004038602120217

Proceedings of ICINCO 2012, ISBN: 978-989-8565-21-1

Collapse Button Quick Abstract
This paper focuses on the study and the analysis of the dynamic relationship among six parameters of the H.264/AVC video encoder, that are: frame rate, bit rate, quantization parameter for I slice, B slice, and P slice, and the number of B slices in the GOP (Group of Pictures). For this study, it was developed and implemented a hybrid algorithm called Simulator of Metaheuristics applied to a CODEC (SMC). The SMC algorithm consists of two metaheuristics that are Tabu Search and Genetic Algorithm. It tries to find the best configuration of the studied parameters in order to obtain a good quality and compression of the encoded video in the H.264/AVC standard. The SMC algorithm uses a maximization objective function as an objective evaluation method to reach the proposed goals.

Collapse Button Quick Abstract
This paper addresses the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows, with constraints related to the vehicle capacity and time windows for customer service. To solve this problem two different metaheuristics are used: Tabu Search and Genetic Algorithms. Based on these techniques a hybrid algorithm is developed. The main goal is the development of a Hybrid Algorithm focused on the Vehicle Routing Problem which uses the intensification power of the Tabu Search and the diversification power of the Genetic Algorithms, in order to obtain good quality solutions without compromising the computational time. In the experiments are combined policies of diversification and intensification in Tabu Search and Genetic Algorithm to verify the efficiency and robustness of the proposed hybrid algorithm. Finally, the results are compared with the best heuristic and exact methods results found in the literature. The Hybrid Algorithm here proposed shows efficiency and robustness, with several optimal solutions achieved.

Collapse Button Quick Abstract
With the advent of the Brazilian Digital Television System, that arrives on approximately 95% of Brazilian homes, the users will be able to have an interactive channel by the utilization of the digital television. Thus, will be possible to access the multimedia application server, i.e., to send or to receive emails, to access interactive applications, to watch movies or specific news. This paper proposes the development and the implementation of an architecture that includes a module that suggests the content to the user according to his profile and another module to optimize the content that will be transmitted. The implementation was developed using ontologies, software agents, Tabu Search and Genetic Algorithm. The validations of the results are done using a metric.

This paper proposes a new model for real-time visualization of the social dynamics as a resultant of individual changes due to their mutual interactions. The model allows the dynamical visualization of both, the individual characteristics changes as well as the resultant system trends as a whole. As an application, we investigated the role of individual degrees of influence and the number of agents in the global choice of a population between two antagonistic options.

Proceedings of ICINCO 2009, ISBN: 978-989-8111-99-9

Collapse Button Quick Abstract
This work presents a new integrated neural model approach for two horizons of load forecasting. First of all is presented a justification about the design of a computational neural forecasting model, explaining the importance of the load forecast for the electrical power systems. Here is presented the design of the two neural models, one for short and other for long term forecasting. Also is showed how these models are integrated in the topological level. A neural model that could integrate two forecasting horizons is very useful for electrical system enterprises. The computational system, here presented, was tested in three different scenarios, where each scenario has specific electrical load behaviour. At last the results is commented and explained.
