In order to overcome the drawbacks of standard shuffled frog leaping algorithm that converges slowly at the last stage and easily falls into local minima, this paper proposed two-phases learning shuffled frog leaping algorithm. The modified algorithm added the elite Gaussian learning strategy in the global information exchange phase, updated frog leaping rule and added the learning capability t...

    Hub covering location problem, Network design,   Single machine scheduling, Genetic algorithm,   Shuffled frog leaping algorithm   Hub location problems (HLP) are synthetic optimization problems that appears in telecommunication and transportation networks where nodes send and receive commodities (i.e., data transmissions, passengers transportation, express packages, postal deliveries, etc....

Article history: Received: 14.5.2015. Received in revised form: 28.11.2015. Accepted: 1.12.2015. Tool travel and tool switch scheduling are two major issues in hole-making operations. It is necessary to find the optimal sequence of operations to reduce the total processing cost of hole-making operations. In this work therefore, an attempt is made to use both a recently developed particle swarm ...

Images are widely used in diverse areas such as medical, military, science, engineering, art, advertising, entertainment, education as well as training, increasing the use of digital techniques for transmitting and storing images. So maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of images has become a major concern. This makes encryption necessary. The pixel values of neighbouring pixels in a p...

To reduce the implementation complexity of a belief propagation (BP) based low-density parity-check (LDPC) decoder, shuffled BP decoding schedules, which serialize the decoding process by dividing a complete parallel message-passing iteration into a sequence of sub-iterations, have been proposed. The so-called group horizontal shuffled BP algorithm partitions the check nodes of the code graph i...

clustering is one of the known techniques in the field of data mining where data with similar properties is within the set of categories. k-means algorithm is one the simplest clustering algorithms which have disadvantages sensitive to initial values of the clusters and converging to the local optimum. in recent years, several algorithms are provided based on evolutionary algorithms for cluster...
