A Hybrid Multiobjective Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for a SLA-Aware Service Composition Problem

الملخص EN

For SLA-aware service composition problem (SSC), an optimization model for this algorithm is built, and a hybrid multiobjective discrete particle swarm optimization algorithm (HMDPSO) is also proposed in this paper.

According to the characteristic of this problem, a particle updating strategy is designed by introducing crossover operator.

In order to restrain particle swarm’s premature convergence and increase its global search capacity, the swarm diversity indicator is introduced and a particle mutation strategy is proposed to increase the swarm diversity.

To accelerate the process of obtaining the feasible particle position, a local search strategy based on constraint domination is proposed and incorporated into the proposed algorithm.

At last, some parameters in the algorithm HMDPSO are analyzed and set with relative proper values, and then the algorithm HMDPSO and the algorithm HMDPSO+ incorporated by local search strategy are compared with the recently proposed related algorithms on different scale cases.

The results show that algorithm HMDPSO+ can solve the SSC problem more effectively.
