In this paper, a novel multilink selection framework is developed for different applications with various quality of service (QoS) requirements in avionic systems, based on the multi-attribute decision-making model. Two metaheuristic algorithms are proposed to solve model while optimizing performances. Multilink configuration and multi-homing capabilities generally required aircrafts operating ...

In this paper, a hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm, based on imperialistic competition algorithm (ICA), harmony search (HS), and simulated annealing (SA) is presented. The body of the proposed hybrid algorithm is based on ICA. The proposed hybrid algorithm inherits the advantages of the process of harmony creation in HS algorithm to improve the exploitation phase of the ICA algorithm. In addition...

We here present the details of the numerical realization of the recently advanced algorithm developed to identify the fragmentation in heavy ion reactions. This new algorithm is based on the Simulated Annealing method and is dubbed as Simulated Annealing Clusterization Algorithm [SACA]. We discuss the different parameters used in the Simulated Annealing method and present an economical set of t...

By combining the aspect of population in genetic algorithms (GAs) and the simulated annealing algorithm (SAA), a novel algorithm, called fast annealing evolutionary algorithm (FAEA), is proposed. The algorithm is similar to the annealing evolutionary algorithm (AEA), and a very fast annealing technique is adopted for the annealing procedure. By an application of the algorithm to the optimizatio...
