Improved ant colony algorithm based cloud computing user task scheduling algorithm by Sining LUO, Hualong WANG, Hongyu LI, Wei PENG

“…In recent years,with the development of power information,more and more power applications and tasks are deployed in the cloud.Because of the dynamic heterogeneity of cloud resources and power applications,it is a challenge in the cloud computing system to realize resource division and task scheduling.Power applications need to be able to achieve a rapid response and minimum completion time,and schedulers should consider the load of each cloud computing node to ensure the reliability of cloud computing.A task scheduling algorithm based on the algorithm of improving an ant colony was proposed to solve the problem of task scheduling in virtual machines.Through the improvement of the standard ant colony algorithm,the task scheduling time was reduced and load balancing was realized while minimizing the overall completion time.The results show that the algorithm can shorten the task scheduling time and realize the load balancing of cloud nodes,which provides technical basis for the optimization of power cloud computing.…”

Displacing the Christian Theodicy of Hell: Yi Kwangsu’s Search for the Willful Individual in Colonial Modernity by Jun-Hyeok Kwak, Mengxiao Huang

“…This article aims to offer Yi Kwangsu’s <i>The Heartless</i> (<i>Mujŏng</i>, 1917), the first modern Korean novel, as an emblem of hybrid religiosity in colonial modernity that sheds light on an ambivalent alterity in the problem of hell in non-Western cultures. …”

Structural Damage Detection Based on Modal Parameters Using Continuous Ant Colony Optimization by Aditi Majumdar, Bharadwaj Nanda, Dipak Kumar Maiti, Damodar Maity

“…An inverse problem is formulated to minimize the objective function, defined in terms of discrepancy between the vibration data identified by modal testing and those computed from analytical model, which then solved to locate and assess the structural damage using continuous ant colony optimization algorithm. The damage is formulated as stiffness reduction factor. …”
