In order to resolve these problems, we put forward a new design of the intelligent lock which is mainly based on the technology of wireless sensor network. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a recently proposed intelligent algorithm which is motivated by swarm intelligence. PSO has been shown to perform well on many benchmark and real-world optimization problems; it easily falls into local optima when solving complex multimodal problems. To avoid the local optimization, the algorithm renews population and enhances the diversity of population by using density calculation of immune theory and adjusting new chaos sequence. The paper gives the circuit diagram of the hardware components based on single chip and describe how to design the software. The experimental results show that the immune genetic algorithm based on chaos theory can search the result of the optimization and evidently improve the convergent speed and astringency.

The balance between exploitation and exploration essentially determines the performance of a population-based optimization algorithm, which is also a big challenge in algorithm design. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) has strong ability in exploitation, but is relatively weak in exploration, while crow search algorithm (CSA) is characterized by simplicity and more randomness. This study proposes a new crow swarm optimization algorithm coupling PSO and CSA, which provides the individuals the possibility of exploring the unknown regions under the guidance of another random individual. The proposed CSO algorithm is tested on several benchmark functions, including both unimodal and multimodal problems with different variable dimensions. The performance of the proposed CSO is evaluated by the optimization efficiency, the global search ability, and the robustness to parameter settings, all of which are improved to a great extent compared with either PSO and CSA, as the proposed CSO combines the advantages of PSO in exploitation and that of CSA in exploration, especially for complex high-dimensional problems.

Various black-box optimization problems in real world can be classified as multimodal optimization problems. Neighborhood information plays an important role in improving the performance of an evolutionary algorithm when dealing with such problems. In view of this, we propose a particle swarm optimization algorithm based on dynamic neighborhood to solve the multimodal optimization problem. In this paper, a dynamic ε-neighborhood selection mechanism is first defined to balance the exploration and exploitation of the algorithm. Then, based on the information provided by the neighborhoods, four different particle position updating strategies are designed to further support the algorithm’s exploration and exploitation of the search space. Finally, the proposed algorithm is compared with 7 state-of-the-art multimodal algorithms on 8 benchmark instances. The experimental results reveal that the proposed algorithm is superior to the compared ones and is an effective method to tackle multimodal optimization problems.

According to the defect of falling into a local optimum when dealing with multimodal problems with basic particle swarm optimization, a dynamic neighborhood particle swarm optimization with external archive (EA-DPSO) is proposed. The Ring topology, All topology and Von Neumann topology are adopted, and dynamically refining particle history optimal position, and then store them on the external archive. In terms of particles characteristics in the external archive, a kind of effective extract mechanism method is designed to choose learning sample. Three peak problems as simulation function are chosen and the results show that EA-DPSO can effectively jump out of local optimal solution. Therefore, it can be seen as an effective algorithm for solving multimodal problems.
