abstract = {In Software Product Lines, it may be difficult or even impossible to test all the products of the family because of the large number of valid feature combinations that may exist (Ferrer et al. in: Squillero, Sim (eds) EvoApps 2017, LNCS 10200, Springer, The Netherlands, pp 3–19, 2017). Thus, we want to find a minimal subset of the product family that allows us to test all these possible combinations (pairwise). Furthermore, when testing a single product is a great effort, it is desirable to first test products composed of a set of priority features. This problem is called Prioritized Pairwise Test Data Generation Problem. State-of-the-art algorithms based on Integer Linear Programming for this problem are faster enough for small and medium instances. However, there exists some real instances that are too large to be computed with these algorithms in a reasonable time because of the exponential growth of the number of candidate solutions. Also, these heuristics not always lead us to the best solutions. In this work we propose a new approach based on a hybrid metaheuristic algorithm called Construct, Merge, Solve & Adapt. We compare this matheuristic with four algorithms: a Hybrid algorithm based on Integer Linear Programming, a Hybrid algorithm based on Integer Nonlinear Programming, the Parallel Prioritized Genetic Solver, and a greedy algorithm called prioritized-ICPL. The analysis reveals that CMSA is statistically significantly better in terms of quality of solutions in most of the instances and for most levels of weighted coverage, although it requires more execution time.},

abstract = {Since its appearance in 2001, search-based software engineering has allowed software engineers to use optimisation techniques to automate distinctive human problems related to software management and development. The scientific community in Spain has not been alien to these advances. Their contributions cover both the optimisation of software engineering tasks and the proposal of new search algorithms. This review compiles the research efforts of this community in the area. With this aim, we propose a protocol to describe the review process, including the search sources, inclusion and exclusion criteria of candidate papers, the data extraction procedure and the categorisation of primary studies. After retrieving more than 3700 papers, 232 primary studies have been selected, whose analysis gives a precise picture of the current research state of the community, trends and future challenges. With 145 authors from 19 distinct institutions, results show that a diversity of tasks, including software planning, requirements, design and testing, and a large variety of techniques has been used, from exact search to evolutionary computation and swarm intelligence. Further, since 2015, specific scientific events have helped to bring together the community, improving collaborations, financial funding and internationalisation.},

abstract = {In this paper, a new version of the aggregation-based evolutionary algorithm Global WASF-GA (GWASF-GA) for many-objective optimization is proposed, called Adaptive Global WASF-GA (A-GWASF-GA). The fitness function of GWASF-GA is defined by an achievement scalarizing function (ASF) based on the Tchebychev distance, which considers two reference points (the nadir and utopian points) and a set of weight vectors. Despite of the benefits of using these two reference points simultaneously and a well-distributed set of weight vectors, it is necessary to go a step further to get better approximations in problems with complicated Pareto optimal fronts. For this, in A-GWASF-GA, some of the weight vectors are re-calculated during the optimization process based on the sparsity of the solutions found so far, and taking into account some theoretical results demonstrated in this paper regarding the ASF considered. Different strategies are carried out to accelerate the convergence and to maintain the diversity. The computational results, carried out in comparison with RVEA, NSGA-III, and different versions of MOEA/D, show the potential of A-GWASF-GA in well-known but also in novel many-objective optimization benchmark problems.},

Smart cities could be considered as urban areas that use data collection sensors and digital technologies which cooperate to create benefits for citizens in terms of well being, inclusion and participation, environmental quality, and intelligent development. Smart city vendors provide software systems to support application developers, city managers, urban planners, and policy-makers in designing, implementing, deploying, and managing smart city applications for an effective urban development and management. Although there exist a variety of smart city software systems, their benefits and limitations are still unknown. In this paper we review smart city vendors and we provide insight into their software systems for smart cities. Thus, we come up with a good entry point, and here survey a large amount of information to help developers, city managers, urban planners, and policy-makers to take better decisions when choosing smart city software systems.},

abstract = {Archery is one of these sports in which the athletes repeat the same body postures over and over again. This means that tiny wrong habits could cause serious long-term health injuries. Consequently, learning a correct shooting technique is very important for both beginner archers and elite athletes. In this work, we present a system that uses machine learning to automatically detect anomalous postures and return to the archer a shooting score, that works by giving the archer a feedback on his own body configuration. We use a neural network to analyze images of archers during the firing and return the place of their different body joints. With this information, the system can detect wrong postures which might lead to injuries. This feedback is very important to the archer when learning the shooting technique. In addition, the system is not intrusive for the archer, so she/he can fire arrows freely. Preliminary results show the usefulness of the system, which is able to detect 4 spine misalignment and 4 raised elbow analyzing only 9 shots.},

abstract = {The fast demographic growth, together with the population concentration in cities and the increasing amount of daily waste, are factors that are pushing to the limit the ability of waste assimilation by Nature. Therefore, we need technological means to optimally manage of the waste collection process, which represents 70% of the operational cost in waste treatment. In this article, we present a free intelligent software system called BIN-CT (BIN for the CiTy), based on computational learning algorithms, which plans the best routes for waste collection supported by past (historical) and future (predictions) data. The objective of the system is to reduction the cost of the waste collection service minimizing the distance traveled by a truck to collect the waste from a container, thereby reducing the fuel consumption. At the same time the quality of service for the citizen is increased, avoiding the annoying overflows of containers thanks to the accurate fill-level predictions given by BIN-CT. In this article we show the features of our software system, illustrating its operation with a real case study of a Spanish city. We conclude that the use of BIN-CT avoids unnecessary trips to containers, reduces the distance traveled to collect a container by 20%, and generates routes 33.2% shorter than the routes used by the company. Therefore it enables a considerable reduction of total costs and harmful emissions thrown up into the atmosphere.},

abstract = {The goal in Robust Optimization is to optimize not only the quality of the solutions but also the variation of this quality with the uncertain parameters of the optimization problem. We propose a robust model for the bi-objective shortest path problem applied in a smart mobility context: Finding routes for cars in a city to minimize travel time and gas emissions. Our proposal treats robustness from a multi-objective point of view. We model the parameters that define each instance as random variables, described through their mean and variance. In this way, we can obtain efficient solutions that are also less sensitive to changes in the environment. We run different types of algorithms in multiple instances to solve this problem so that we obtain a global view of the behavior of different techniques. All experimentation uses a scenario based on real data: The province of Malaga, Spain. This realistic settlement for our study allows us to test the applicability of our model in final systems for the citizens. The results clearly state the interest of our proposal for tackling robustness and represents a new state-of-the-art in smart mobility, an always appealing feature of works, that could lead to an industrial prototype.},

abstract = {We propose a new credibility portfolio selection model, in which a measure of loss aversion is introduced as an objective function, joint to the expected value of the returns and the below-mean absolute semi-deviation as a risk measure. The uncertainty of the future returns is directly approximated using the historical returns on the portfolios, so the uncertain return on a given portfolio is modeled as an LR-power fuzzy variable. Quantifying the uncertainty by means of a credibility distribution allows us to measure the investors' loss aversion as the credibility of achieving a non-positive return, which is better perceived by investors than other measures of risk. Furthermore, we analyze the relationships between the three objective functions, showing that the risk measure and the loss aversion function are practically uncorrelated. Thus, the information provided by these criteria do not overlap each other. In order to generate several non-dominated portfolios taking into account the investor's preferences and that the problem is non-linear and non-convex, we apply up to three preference-based EMO algorithms. These algorithms allow to approximate a part of the Pareto optimal front called region of interest. We analyze three investor profiles taking into account their loss-adverse attitudes: conservative, cautious and aggressive. A computational study is performed with data of the Spanish stock market, showing the important role played by the loss aversion function to generate a diversified set of non-dominated portfolios fitting the expectations of each investor.},

abstract = {In smart cities, when the real-time control of traffic lights is not possible, the global optimization of traffic-light programs (TLPs) requires the simulation of a traffic scenario (traffic flows across the whole city) that is estimated after collecting data from sensors at the street level. However, the highly dynamic traffic of a city means that no single traffic scenario is a precise representation of the real system, and the fitness of any candidate solution (traffic-light program) will vary when deployed on the city. Thus, ideal TLPs should not only have an optimized fitness, but also a high reliability, i.e., low fitness variance, against the uncertainties of the real-world. Earlier traffic-light optimization methods, e.g., based on genetic algorithms, often simulate a single traffic scenario, which neglects variance in the real-world, leading to TLPs not optimized for reliability. Our main contributions in this work are the following: (a) the analysis of the importance of reliable solutions for TLP optimization, even when all traffic scenarios are consistent with the real-world data and highly correlated; (b) the adaptation of IRACE, an iterated racing algorithm that is able to dynamically adjust the number of traffic scenarios required to evaluate the fitness of TLPs and their reliability; (c) the use of a large real-world case study for which real-time control is not possible and where data was obtained from sensors at the street level; and (d) a thorough analysis of solutions generated by means of IRACE, a Genetic Algorithm, a Differential Evolution, a Particle Swarm Optimization and a Random Search. This analysis shows that simple strategies that simulate multiple traffic scenarios are able to obtain optimized solutions with improved reliability; however, the best results are obtained by IRACE, among the algorithms evaluated.},

abstract = {The unsustainable development of countries has created a problem due to the unstoppable waste generation. Moreover, waste collection is carried out following a pre-defined route that does not take into account the actual level of the containers collected. Therefore, optimizing the way the waste is collected presents an interesting opportunity. In this study, we tackle the problem of predicting the waste generation ratio in real-world conditions, i.e., under uncertainty. Particularly, we use a deep neuroevolutionary technique to automatically design a recurrent network that captures the filling level of all waste containers in a city at once, and we study the suitability of our proposal when faced to noisy and faulty data. We validate our proposal using a real-world case study, consisting of more than two hundred waste containers located in a city in Spain, and we compare our results to the state-of-the-art. The results show that our approach exceeds all its competitors and that its accuracy in a real-world scenario, i.e., under uncertain data, is good enough for optimizing the waste collection planning.},

At each iteration, the decision maker (DM) expresses her/his preferences as an interesting interval for objective function values. The DM also specifies the number of representative Pareto optimal solutions in these intervals referred to as regions of interest one wants to study. Finally, a real-life engineering three-objective optimization problem is used to demonstrate how IRA-EMO works in practice for finding the most preferred solution.},

abstract = {On mobile phones, users and developers use apps official marketplaces serving as repositories of apps. The Google Play Store and Apple Store are the official marketplaces of Android and Apple products which offer more than a million apps. Although both repositories offer description of apps, information concerning performance is not available. Due to the constrained hardware of mobile devices, users and developers have to meticulously manage the resources available and they should be given access to performance information about apps. Even if this information was available, the selection of apps would still depend on user preferences and it would require a huge cognitive effort to make optimal decisions. Considering this fact we propose APOA, a recommendation system which can be implemented in any marketplace for helping users and developers to compare apps in terms of performance.},

abstract = {A map is a data structure that is commonly used to store data as key–value pairs and retrieve data as keys, values, or key–value pairs. Although Java offers different map implementation classes, Android SDK offers other implementations supposed to be more efficient than HashMap: ArrayMap and SparseArray variants (SparseArray, LongSparseArray, SparseIntArray, SparseLongArray, and SparseBooleanArray). Yet, the performance of these implementations in terms of CPU time, memory usage, and energy consumption is lacking in the official Android documentation; although saving CPU, memory, and energy is a major concern of users wanting to increase battery life. Consequently, we study the use of map implementations by Android developers in two ways. First, we perform an observational study of 5713 Android apps in GitHub. Second, we conduct a survey to assess developers' perspective on Java and Android map implementations. Then, we perform an experimental study comparing HashMap, ArrayMap, and SparseArray variants map implementations in terms of CPU time, memory usage, and energy consumption. We conclude with guidelines for choosing among the map implementations: HashMap is preferable over ArrayMap to improve energy efficiency of apps, and SparseArray variants should be used instead of HashMap and ArrayMap when keys are primitive types.},

abstract = {The convergence and the diversity of the decomposition-based evolutionary algorithm Global WASF-GA (GWASF-GA) relies on a set of weight vectors that determine the search directions for new non-dominated solutions in the objective space. Although using weight vectors whose search directions are widely distributed may lead to a well-diversified approximation of the Pareto front (PF), this may not be enough to obtain a good approximation for complicated PFs (discontinuous, non-convex, etc.). Thus, we propose to dynamically adjust the weight vectors once GWASF-GA has been run for a certain number of generations. This adjustment is aimed at re-calculating some of the weight vectors, so that search directions pointing to overcrowded regions of the PF are redirected toward parts with a lack of solutions that may be hard to be approximated. We test different parameters settings of the dynamic adjustment in optimization problems with three, five, and six objectives, concluding that GWASF-GA performs better when adjusting the weight vectors dynamically than without applying the adjustment.},

abstract = {Nowadays, city streets are populated not only by private vehicles but also by public transport, fleets of workers, and deliveries. Since each vehicle class has a maximum cargo capacity, we study in this article how authorities could improve the road traffic by endorsing long term policies to change the different vehicle proportions: sedans, minivans, full size vans, trucks, and motorbikes, without losing the ability of moving cargo throughout the city. We have performed our study in a realistic scenario (map, road traffic characteristics, and number of vehicles) of the city of Malaga and captured the many details into the SUMO microsimulator. After analyzing the relationship between travel times, emissions, and fuel consumption, we have defined a multiobjective optimization problem to be solved, so as to minimize these city metrics. Our results provide a scientific evidence that we can improve the delivery of goods in the city by reducing the number of heavy duty vehicles and fostering the use of vans instead.},
