Cloud computing is expanding gradually as the number of educational applications rapidly increasing. To get Educational cloud services, internet connectivity predominantly important and Environment uses one basic technology to manage Physical servers effectively ie; Virtualization Technology. In Computing, data centers host numerous Virtual Machines (VMs) on top Servers. Due rapid growth platfo...

in this paper, first, an initial feature vector for vocal fold pathology diagnosis is proposed. then, for optimizing the initial feature vector, a genetic algorithm is proposed. some experiments are carried out for evaluating and comparing the classification accuracies which are obtained by the use of the different classifiers (ensemble of decision tree, discriminant analysis and k-nearest neig...

pumps are among the early instruments invented by humans to be taken advantage of in the use of water utilities. design and operation problem of pumping stations is a type of mixed integer non linear programming, in which gradient based optimization methods are not efficient for solving complex problems of this type. in this regard, such evolutionary optimization algorithms as genetic algorithm...

This paper examines the effects of local search on hybrid genetic algorithm performance and population sizing. It compares the performance of a self-adaptive hybrid genetic algorithm (SAHGA) to a non-adaptive hybrid genetic algorithm (NAHGA) and the simple genetic algorithm (SGA) on eight different test functions, including unimodal, multimodal and constrained optimization problems. The results...

The purpose of this article is to review the literature on the topic of deterministic vehicle routing problem (VRP) and to give a review on the exact and approximate solution techniques. More specifically the approximate (meta-heuristic) solution techniques are classified into: tabu search, simulated annealing, genetic algorithm, evolutionary algorithm, hybrid algorithm, and Ant Colony Opti...

This study investigates a hybrid algorithm between Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) and Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithms to find the parameters of induction motors. The motor have been estimated by using data supplied manufacturer. problem for parameter estimation is formulated as an optimization problem. Then, solved GWO based on CS parameters. Numerical results show that both are capable solving fin...

one of the major purposes of optimization in civil engineering is to perform a suitable design for the structure. this goal has to fulfill technical criteria and contain the minimum economical costs. building frames are of the most customary civil engineering structures. therefore, optimization of these types of structures could be of a great concern from the economical viewpoints. one of the c...

In most real world application and problems, a homogeneous product is carried from an origin to a destination by using different transportation modes (e.g., road, air, rail and water). This paper investigates a fixed charge transportation problem (FCTP), in which there are different routes with different capacities between suppliers and customers. To solve such a NP-hard problem, four meta-heur...
