چکیده

the localized nature of the communication between cells, load balancing is easier to predict and dynamically evaluate. Cost-based abduction is an important problem in reasoning in uncertainty with applications in medical diagnostics, natural language processing, belief revision, and automated planning. In this paper, we will describe a membrane architecture used to search for optimal solutions to cost-based abduction problems, compare the performance of this algorithm to other published techniques and present empirical results on the parallelization in a cluster computing environment.

Optimization of Cutting Parameters Based on Production Time Using Colonial Competitive (CC) and Genetic (G) Algorithms

A properly designed machining procedure can significantly affect the efficiency of the production lines. To minimize the cost of machining process as well as increasing the quality of products, cutting parameters must permit the reduction of cutting time and cost to the lowest possible levels. To achieve this, cutting parameters must be kept in the optimal range. This is a non-linear optimizati...

Flux Distribution in Bacillus subtilis: Inspection on Plurality of Optimal Solutions

Linear programming problems with alternate solutions are challenging due to the choice of multiple strategiesresulting in the same optimal value of the objective function. However, searching for these solutions is atedious task, especially when using mixed integer linear programming (MILP), as previously applied tometabolic models. Therefore, judgment on plurality of optimal m...

OPTIMAL SHAPE DESIGN OF GRAVITY DAMS BASED ON A HYBRID META-HERURISTIC METHOD AND WEIGHTED LEAST SQUARES SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINE

A hybrid meta-heuristic optimization method is introduced to efficiently find the optimal shape of concrete gravity dams including dam-water-foundation rock interaction subjected to earthquake loading. The hybrid meta-heuristic optimization method is based on a hybrid of gravitational search algorithm (GSA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), which is called GSA-PSO. The operation of GSA-PSO...

An Evolutionary Algorithm Based on a Hybrid Multi-Attribute Decision Making Method for the Multi-Mode Multi-Skilled Resource-constrained Project Scheduling Problem

This paper addresses the multi-mode multi-skilled resource-constrained project scheduling problem. Activities of real world projects often require more than one skill to be accomplished. Besides, in many real-world situations, the resources are multi-skilled workforces. In presence of multi-skilled resources, it is required to determine the combination of workforces assigned to each activity. H...
