This paper present a simulated annealing (SA) algorithm for solving the combined economic emission dispatch (CEED) problem in power systems considering the power limits. The CEED is to minimize both the operating fuel cost and emission level simultaneously while satisfying the load demand and operational constraints. The philosophy involves the introduction of a new decision variable through a ...

Association rule mining process can be visualized as a multi-objective problem rather than as a single objective one. Measures like support, confidence and other interestingness criteria which are used for evaluating a rule, can be thought of as different objectives of association rule mining problem. Support count is the number of records, which satisfies all the conditions that exist in the r...

When the Autoregressive Moving Average (ARMA) model is fitted with real data, the actual value of the model order and the model parameter are often unknown. The goal of this paper is to find an estimator for the model order and the model parameter based on the data. In this paper, the model order identification and model parameter estimation is given in a hierarchical Bayesian framework. In thi...

This paper presents a robust, automated registration algorithm, which may be applied to several types of medical images, including CTs, MRIs, Xrays, Ultrasounds and dermatological images. The proposed algorithm is intended for imaging modalities depicting primarily morphology of objects i.e. tumors, bones, cysts and lesions that are characterized by translation, scaling and rotation. An efficie...

Earth dam is a structure as homogeneous or non-homogeneous forms for raising water level or water supply. Earth dam consist of different parts that one of the main parts is clay core. Choosing an optimal non permeable core which causes reduction of seepage through dam body and also being stable is necessary. The objective of this research is to optimize the geometry of earth dam clay core such ...

In this paper, we present a simulated annealing (SA) and a genetic algorithm (GA) based on heuristics for scheduling problem of jobs in virtual cellular manufacturing systems. A virtual manufacturing cell (VMC) is a group of resources that is dedicated to the manufacturing of a part family. Although this grouping is not reflected in the physical structure of the manufacturing system, but machin...

System identification using infinite-impulse-response (IIR) model is considered. Because the error surface of IIR filters is generally multi-modal, global optimisation techniques are preferred in order to avoid local minima. An efficient global optimisation method, called the adaptive simulated annealing (ASA), is adopted, and a new batch-recursive ASA algorithm is developed for on-line identif...

Abstract—In this paper, simulated annealing algorithm (SA) is applied to the synthesis of cylindrical conformal arrays in order to suppress the peaks of side lobes by acting on the elements’ positions. There are multiple optimization constraints including the number of elements, aperture and minimum element spacing. A constraint matrix is designed to make the solution meet the restriction on th...

With several commercial tools becoming available, the high-level synthesis of applicationspeci c integrated circuits is nding wide spread acceptance in VLSI industry today. Existing tools for synthesis focus on optimizing cost while meeting performance constraints or vice versa. Yet, veri cation and testing have emerged as major concerns of IC vendors since the repurcussions of chips being reca...
