Partricular features of overpassing local optima and providing near-optimal soultion in practical time has led researchers to apply metaheuristics in several engineering problems. Optimal design of diagrids as one of the most efficient structural systems in tall buildings has been concerned here. Jaya algorithm as a recent paramter-less optimization method is employed to solve the problem using...

scheduling is to determine the priorities or arrange the activities to meet the needs, limitations and certain goals. because the time is always a limited resource, all activities should be scheduled to use optimally and certainly the resource. gravitational force algorithm, like other evolutionary algorithms, is inspired by nature. the effect of the gravity on the objects reciprocally and to a...

the objective in this study was to assess the performance of the control algorithms and determine the appropriate controller for aghili irrigation network. to evaluate the efficiency of the control algorithms, the performance criteria of the maximum absolute error, integral absolute error and steady state error were considered during the simulations of a one month period and with regard to the ...

By increasing, the complexity of chips and the need to integrating more components into a chip has made network –on- chip known as an important infrastructure for network communications on the system, and is a good alternative to traditional ways and using the bus. By increasing the density of chips, the possibility of failure in the chip network increases and providing correction and fault tol...

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...
