  One of the key issues in e-learning is to identify needs, educational behavior and learning speed of the learners and design a suitable curriculum commensurate to their abilities. This goal is achieved by identifying the learners’ different dimension of personality and ability and assigning suitable learning material to them according these features. In this paper, an intelligent tutoring system is proposed which optimizes the LO selection in e-learning environment. In order to evaluate the proposed method, the designed system has been used in a web-based instruction system in different conditions and the results of the "Academically success", "Satisfactory learning achievement" and "Time of the learners’ attendance" have been analyzed. The obtained results show a significant efficiency compared to other applied methods. Manuscript profile

  In this paper, we have proposed a new algorithm which combines PSO and GA in such a way that the new algorithm is more effective and efficient.The particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm has shown rapid convergence during the initial stages of a global search but around global optimum, the search process will become very slow. On the other hand, genetic algorithm is very sensitive to the initial population. In fact, the random nature of the GA operators makes the algorithm sensitive to the initial population. This dependence to the initial population is in such a manner that the algorithm may not converge if the initial population is not well selected. This new algorithm can perform faster and does not depend on initial population and can find optimal solutions with acceptable accuracy. Optimal capacitor placement and sizing have been found using this hybrid PSO-GA algorithm. We have also found the optimal place and size of capacitors using GA and PSO separately and compared the results. Manuscript profile

  Mobile edge computing improves the experience of end users to achieve appropriate services and service quality. In this paper, the problem of improving resource allocation when offloading tasks based on mobile devices to edge servers in computing systems was investigated. Some tasks are processed locally and some are offloaded to edge servers. The main issue is that the offloaded tasks for virtual machines in computing networks are properly scheduled to minimize computing time, service cost, computing network waste, and the maximum connection of a task with the network. In this paper, it was introduced using the hybrid algorithm of particle swarm and gray wolf to manage resource allocation and task scheduling to achieve an optimal result in edge computing networks. The comparison results show the improvement of waiting time and cost in the proposed approach. The results show that, on average, the proposed model has performed better by reducing the work time by 10% and increasing the use of resources by 16%. Manuscript profile

  Mobile edge computing improves the experience of end users to achieve appropriate services and service quality. In this paper, the problem of improving resource allocation, when offloading tasks, based on mobile devices to edge servers in computing systems is investigated. Some tasks are uploaded and processed locally and some to edge servers. The main issue is that the offloaded tasks for virtual machines in computing networks are properly scheduled to minimize computing time, service cost, computing network waste, and the maximum connection of a task with the network. In this paper, a multi-objective hybrid algorithm of particle swarm and gray wolf was introduced to manage resource allocation and task scheduling to achieve an optimal result in edge computing networks. Local search in the particle swarm algorithm has good results in the problem, but it will cause the loss of global optima, so in this problem, in order to improve the model, the gray wolf algorithm was used as the main basis of the proposed algorithm, in the wolf algorithm Gray, due to the graphical approach to the problem, the set of global searches will reach the optimal solution, so by combining these functions, we tried to improve the operational conditions of the two algorithms for the desired goals of the problem. In order to create a network in this research, the network creation parameters in the basic article were used and the LCG data set was used in the simulation. The simulation environment in this research is the sim cloud environment. The comparison results show the improvement of waiting time and cost in the proposed approach. The results show that, on average, the proposed model has performed better by reducing the work time by 10% and increasing the use of resources by 16%. Manuscript profile
