Security assurance is a discipline aiming to demonstrate that target system holds some non/functional properties and behaves as expected. These techniques have been recently applied the cloud, facing critical issues especially when integrated within existing security processes executed in programmatic way. Furthermore, they pose significant costs hybrid systems, mixing public private infrastruc...

tea is one of the most important medicinal plants which have a considerable effect on the treatment of cardiovascular disease and cancer. the drying process of tea leaves is carried out by hot air flow which consumes high level energy. the aim of the recent research was to investigate the procedure of high power ultrasound-assisted drying process of tea leaves. hybrid variety of chinese tea was...

General framework for hybrid model based identification and optimization of biochemical processes is elaborated. An enhanced hybrid model of the fed-batch biosurfactant production process is presented. The evolutionary programming techniques are applied for the hybrid model identification and optimization of the process. High performance of the applied optimization techniques is reported. The p...

This paper proposes a novel hybrid algorithm namely APSO-BFO which combines merits of Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO) algorithm and Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization (APSO) algorithm to determine the optimal PID parameters for control of nonlinear systems. To balance between exploration and exploitation, the proposed hybrid algorithm accomplishes global search over the whole search spa...

Software process simulation modeling has become an increasingly active research area for managing and improving software development processes since its introduction in the last two decades. Hybrid process simulation models have attracted interest as a possibility to avoid the limitations of applying single modeling method, and more realistically capture complex real-world software processes. T...
