AI summary

Disclosed in the present invention is a confidence-aware service pattern optimization method, wherein the service pattern optimization method comprises the following steps: (1) inputting an original pattern Pa to be optimized; (2) initializing a candidate list PaList of the original pattern Pa; (3) initializing a temperature T; (4) initializing confidence C; (5) initializing a maximum number of iterations IterMax; (6) initializing a termination threshold Th; (7) circularly searching a target pattern Pa* according to pattern optimization indexes, wherein the number of circulations is IterMax; (8) reducing the temperature T; (9) if the pattern Pa* obtained at the end of the cycle in step (7) remains consistent for consecutive Th times, obtaining the Pa* as an optimized target pattern; otherwise, jumping to step (7). By introducing the confidence mechanism, the search speed and search step size can be dynamically adjusted in the search space with different optimization potentials, which greatly saves the optimization time and improves the optimization effect.
