Multi-Subcenters Solution Search Algorithm for CFD Optimization Problems and Its Application to Die Casting

New Evolutionary Algorithm for Multi-objective Optimization and its Application to Engineering Design Problems

1 Abstract Multi-objective optimization addresses problems with several design objectives, which are often conflicting, placing different demands on the design variables. In contradiction to traditional optimization methods, which combine all objectives into a single figure of merit, parallel optimization strategies such as evolutionary algorithms allow direct convergence to the Pareto front. T...

A matroid algorithm and its application to the efficient solution of two optimization problems on graphs

construction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality

like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...

Improved Cuckoo Search Algorithm for Global Optimization

The cuckoo search algorithm is a recently developedmeta-heuristic optimization algorithm, which is suitable forsolving optimization problems. To enhance the accuracy andconvergence rate of this algorithm, an improved cuckoo searchalgorithm is proposed in this paper. Normally, the parametersof the cuckoo search are kept constant. This may lead todecreasing the efficiency of the algorithm. To cop...

Computer-Aided System for Multi-Cavity Die-Casting Die-Design

Die-design for the die-casting process is a time consuming and complex activity that requires domain knowledge and vast experience of the die-designer besides information about manufacturing resources, part geometry, delivery time and cost preferences, etc. Complexity of the die-design activity further increases in case of a multi-cavity die. Currently available die-design systems lack in the l...
