In recent years, cloud computing plays a crucial role in many real applications. Thus, how to solve workflow scheduling problems, i.e., allocating and different resources, under the environment becomes more important. Although some evolutionary algorithms (EAs) can problems with small scale, they show disadvantages on larger scale this paper, multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) is applied ...

this paper focuses on multi-objective designing of multi-machine thyristor controlled series compensator (tcsc) using strength pareto evolutionary algorithm (spea). the tcsc parameters designing problem is converted to an optimization problem with the multi-objective function including the desired damping factor and the desired damping ratio of the power system modes, which is solved by a spea ...

This paper proposes the exchange market algorithm (EMA) to solve the combined economic and emission dispatch (CEED) problems in thermal power plants. The EMA is a new, robust and efficient algorithm to exploit the global optimum point in optimization problems. Existence of two seeking operators in EMA provides a high ability in exploiting global optimum point. In order to show the capabilities ...

many studies are performed by researchers about shell and tube heat exchanger but the multi-objective big bang-big crunch algorithm (mobba) technique has never been used in such studies. this paper presents application of thermal-economic multi-objective optimization of shell and tube heat exchanger using mobba. for optimal design of a shell and tube heat exchanger, it was first thermally model...

Many real-world scientific and engineering applications involve finding solutions to “hard” Multiobjective Optimization Problems (MOPs). Genetic Algorithms (GAs) can be extended to find acceptable MOP Pareto solutions. The intent of this discussion is to illustrate that modifications made to the Multi-Objective messy GA (MOMGA) have further improved the efficiency of the algorithm. The MOMGA is...
