REAL-TIME APPLICATIONS OF PHASOR MEASUREMENT UNITS (PMU) FOR VISUALIZATION, ...Power System Operation
SECTION 1
BACKGROUND
Synchrophasors are precise grid measurement devices most often called phasor measurement units (PMU). These devices are capable of directly measuring frequency, voltage and current waveforms along with phase angle differences at high sampling rates and accuracies. They are prompting a revolution in power system operations as next generation measuring devices. With the smart grid investment grant demonstrations projects funded throughout the country, an additional 850 PMUs are going to be installed in the United States to bring the total to over 1,000 in the next three years. New York State expects about 40 new PMUs to be installed in the next three years, bringing its total to over 50 units.

This paper presents a set of methods that uses a genetic algorithm for automatic test-data generation in
software testing. For several years researchers have proposed several methods for generating test data
which had different drawbacks. In this paper, we have presented various Genetic Algorithm (GA) based test
methods which will be having different parameters to automate the structural-oriented test data generation
on the basis of internal program structure. The factors discovered are used in evaluating the fitness
function of Genetic algorithm for selecting the best possible Test method. These methods take the test
populations as an input and then evaluate the test cases for that program. This integration will help in
improving the overall performance of genetic algorithm in search space exploration and exploitation fields
with better convergence rate.
Software test-case generation is the process of identifying a set of test cases. It is necessary to generate the test sequence that satisfies the testing criteria. For solving this kind of difficult problem there were a lot of research works, which have been done in the past. The length of the test sequence plays an important role in software testing. The length of test sequence decides whether the sufficient testing is carried or not. Many existing test sequence generation techniques uses genetic algorithm for test-case generation in software testing. The Genetic Algorithm (GA) is an optimization heuristic technique that is implemented through evolution and fitness function. It generates new test cases from the existing test sequence. Further to improve the existing techniques, a new technique is proposed in this paper which combines the tabu search algorithm and the genetic algorithm.

Software testing is an important activity of the software development process. Software testing is most
efforts consuming phase in software development. One would like to minimize the effort and maximize the
number of faults detected and automated test case generation contributes to reduce cost and time effort.
Hence test case generation may be treated as an optimization problem In this paper we have used genetic
algorithm to optimize the test case that are generated applying conditional coverage on source code. Test
case data is generated automatically using genetic algorithm are optimized and outperforms the test cases
generated by random testing.

This paper critically examined nine different software models for modeling / developing multi-agent based
systems. The study revealed that the different models examined have their various advantages /
disadvantages and uniqueness in terms of practical development/deployment of the multi-agent based
information system in question. The agentology model is one methodology that can be easily adopted or
adapted for the development of any multi-agent based software prototype because it was inspired by the
best practices and good ideas contained in other agent oriented methodologies like CoMoMas, MASE,
GAIA, Prometheus, HIM, MASim and Tropos.
One of the obstacles that hinder the usage of mutation testing is its impracticality, two main contributors of this are a large number of mutants and a large number of test cases involves in the process. Researcher usually tries to address this problem by optimizing the mutants and the test case separately. In this research, we try to tackle both of optimizing mutant and optimizing test-case simultaneousl y using a coevolution optimization method. The coevolution optimization method is chosen for the mutation testing problem because the method works by optimizing multiple collections (population) of a solution. This research found that coevolution is better suited for multiproblem optimization than other single population methods (i.e. Genetic Algorithm), we also propose new indicator to determine the optimal coevolution cycle. The experiment is done to the artificial case, laboratory, and also a real case.
Analysis of selection schemes for solving job shop scheduling problem using g...eSAT Journals
Abstract Scheduling problems have the standard consideration in the field of manufacturing. Among the various types of scheduling problems, the job shop scheduling problem is one of the most interesting NP-hard problems. As the job shop scheduling is an optimization problem, Genetic algorithm was selected to solve it In this study. Selection scheme is one of the important operators of Genetic algorithm. The choice of selection method to be applied for solving problems has a wide role in the Genetic algorithm process. The speed of convergence towards the optimum solution for the chosen problem is largely determined by the selection mechanism used in the Genetic algorithm. Depending upon the selection scheme applied, the population fitness over the successive generations could be improved. There are various type of selection schemes in genetic algorithm are available, where each selection scheme has its own feasibility for solving a particular problem. In this study, the selection schemes namely Stochastic Universal Sampling (SUS), Roulette Wheel Selection (RWS), Rank Based Roulette Wheel Selection (RRWS) and Binary Tournament Selection (BTS) were chosen for implementation. The characteristics of chosen selection mechanisms of Genetic algorithm for solving the job shop scheduling problem were analyzed. The Genetic algorithm with four different selection schemes is tested on instances of 7 benchmark problems of different size. The result shows that the each of the four selection schemes of Genetic algorithm have been successfully applied to the job shop scheduling problems efficiently and the performance of Stochastic Universal Sampling selection method is better than all other four selection schemes.

maximum limits.
The basic test of software is done in the environment for
which it is has been designed.
The authors claim that Genetic algorithms are one of the
best ways to solve a set of problems for which little

Crossover:- Crossover involves swapping of sequence of
bits or genes in the string between two individuals. This
process of swapping is carried out and repeated each time
with different parent individuals until the next generation
has optimum individuals.

Mutation: After the crossover process, the mutate
operation is applied to a randomly select subset of the
population. Mutation leads to an alteration of chromosomes
in small new ways to introduce good traits. The main aim
of mutation is to bring diversity in population.

11. Results and discussions
According to the authors Genetic algorithms are most
efficient and effective in a search space for which
little is known.
Then again, genetic algorithms can be used to
produce solutions to problems working only in the
test environment and deviates once you try to use
them in the real world.
So when put simply, genetic algorithm can be used to
create solutions for problems that are not very easy
to calculate and analyze.
