A New Approach Generating Robust and Stable Schedules in m-Machine Flow Shop Scheduling Problems: A Case Study

This paper considers a scheduling problem with uncertain processing times and machine breakdowns in industriall/office workplaces and solves it via a novel robust optimization method. In the traditional robust optimization, the solution robustness is maintained only for a specific set of scenarios, which may worsen the situation  for new scenarios. Thus, a two-stage predictive algorithm is prop...

Evolution of Force-Generating Equations for PSO using GP

We extend our previous research on evolving the physical forces which control particle swarms by considering additional ingredients, such as the velocity of the neighbourhood best and time, and different neighbourhood topologies, namely the global and local ones. We test the evolved extended PSOs (XPS) on various classes of benchmark problems. We show that evolutionary computation, and in parti...

Development of a Microforce Sensor and Its Array Platform for Robotic Cell Microinjection Force Measurement

Robot-assisted cell microinjection, which is precise and can enable a high throughput, is attracting interest from researchers. Conventional probe-type cell microforce sensors have some real-time injection force measurement limitations, which prevent their integration in a cell microinjection robot. In this paper, a novel supported-beam based cell micro-force sensor with a piezoelectric polyvin...

Automatically Generating Back Ends Using Declarative Machine Descriptions

Despite years of work on retargetable compilers, creating a good, reliable back end for an optimizing compiler still entails a lot of hard work. Moreover, a critical component of the back end—the instruction selector—must be written by a person who is expert in both the compiler’s intermediate code and the target machine’s instruction set. By generating the instruction selector from declarative...
