Fixing Design Inconsistencies of Polymorphic Methods using Swarm Intelligence

OPTIMAL GROUND MOTION SCALING USING ENHANCED SWARM INTELLIGENCE FOR SIZING DESIGN OF STEEL FRAMES

Dynamic structural responses via time history analysis are highly dependent to characteristics of selected records as the seismic excitation. Ground motion scaling is a well-known solution to reduce such a dependency and increase reliability to the dynamic results. The present work, formulate a twofold problem for optimal spectral matching and performing consequent sizing optimization based on ...

Optimization of retaining wall design using recent swarm intelligence techniques

In this paper, cantilever retaining wall design is studied as an important optimization task in civil engineering. The current study explores the efficiency of some recent swarm intelligence techniques: accelerated particle swarm optimization (APSO), firefly algorithm (FA), and cuckoo search (CS). These algorithms are verified using two benchmark case studies. In order to better determine the p...

Gene Regulatory Network Inference Using Prominent Swarm Intelligence Methods

Genes are the basic blue print of life in an organism containing the physiological and behavioral characteristics. A gene regulatory network (GRN) is a set of genes, or parts of genes, that interact with each other to control a specific cell function. GRN inference is the reverse engineering approach to predict the biological network from the gene expression data. Biochemical system theory base...

Swarm AI: A General-Purpose Swarm Intelligence Design Technique

This paper introduces Swarm AI, the first general framework for designing Swarm Intelligence approaches to problems. We outline principles of Swarm AI, discuss its connection to previous work, and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of this method. Finally, we describe a case study of applying Swarm AI to a new problem. Specifically, we discuss the design of a soccer team, using the princi...
