Multi-Wavelength WiMAX–PONs With Overlapping Cells

A Simulated Annealing Algorithm for Multi Objective Flexible Job Shop Scheduling with Overlapping in Operations

In this paper, we considered solving approaches to flexible job shop problems. Makespan is not a good evaluation criterion with overlapping in operations assumption. Accordingly, in addition to makespan, we used total machine work loading time and critical machine work loading time as evaluation criteria. As overlapping in operations is a practical assumption in chemical, petrochemical, and gla...

Identifying overlapping communities using multi-agent collective intelligence

The proposed algorithm in this research is based on the multi-agent particle swarm optimization as a collective intelligence due to the connection between several simple components which enables them to regulate their behavior and relationships with the rest of the group according to certain rules. As a result, self-organizing in collective activities can be seen. Community structure is crucial...

Multi-wavelength Laser Photoacoustics

Multi-Wavelength Fiber Lasers

Nowadays, multiwavelength lasers are of great interest for telecommunications and sensors multiplexing. These lasers also have a great potential in the fiber-optic test and measurement of WDM components. The requirements for such optical sources are: a high number of channels over large wavelength span, moderate output powers (of the order of 100μW per channel) with good optical signal to noise...

Sequential design of multi-overlapping controllers for longitudinal multi-overlapping systems

In this paper a strategy to design multi-overlapping controllers for systems with longitudinal multi-overlapping structure is presented. The design process uses the inclusion principle to carry out a multi-step expansion that allows the decentralized design of a sequence of expanded local controllers. These expanded local controllers are subsequently contracted to produce a multi-overlapping co...
