An Optimized GPU-Accelerated Route Planning of Multi-UAV Systems Using Simulated Annealing Article CUDA CODE Usage of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in a certain mission makes flight route planning more complicated and slower. In order to obtain better performance, in the literature, most of the researchers propose using evolutionary algorithms and artificial intelligence approaches based on heuristics as optimization techniques. In addition to this, parallel programming approaches increase the computation performance. Therefore, this study focuses to discuss and solve the route planning problem for multi-UAV systems by using optimization techniques based on an evolutionary algorithm: simulated annealing. ...

There is a need for realistic node topologies for simulating and testing wireless network protocols. The softare evoTopo is able to generate multiple different topologies based on a given reference example, typically from a real-world setup. Based on this an evolutionary algorithm evolves new topology files with equal parameters regarding node density, distribution homogeneity and network properties such as node degree distrbution. evoTopo can be used with any wireless network simulator that will accept a node position file of some form. The reference file must be given in .csv format listing the x- and y-coordinates of the nodes. evoTopo is written in Java and will run on Java 6 or higher. ...
