In this paper, a novel hybrid algorithm for the optimization of indoor wireless network planning is applied to a polyvalent arts centre. The results of the algorithm are compared with those of a heuristic network planner for three scenarios. Results show that our algorithm is effective for optimization of wireless networks, satisfying maximum coverage, minimal power consumption, minimal cost, a...

due to the algorithmic simplicity, cellular automata (ca) models are useful and simple methods in structural optimization. in this paper, a cellular-automaton-based algorithm is presented for simultaneous shape and topology optimization of continuum structures, using five-step optimization procedure. two objective functions are considered and the optimization process is converted to the single ...
