ulticasting is growing in importance as new applications are devised. Throughout this article, multicasting is understood as the efficient multipoint-to-multipoint transmission of information (in terms of network resource consumption) between the members of a group. In particular, the focus is on the problems of deploying the multicast service in an ATM environment. ATM has been widely deployed...

Consider the problem of automatically generating layouts for state diagrams (statecharts). Such diagrams appear in automation engeneering and CASE tools. Automatic layout of these diagrams leads to better understanding and saves time spend on their development. State diagram layout problem seems to have some differences from general graph layout problem. In this article adaptation of two graph ...

rotating machinery is the most common machinery in industry. the root of the faults in rotating machinery is often faulty rolling element bearings. this paper presents a technique using optimized artificial neural network by the bees algorithm for automated diagnosis of localized faults in rolling element bearings. the inputs of this technique are a number of features (maximum likelihood estima...

The layout of irrigation water distribution networks is usually branched. In most of the previous studies pipe sizes of the network had been optimized assuming a predetermined layout of the distribution system. However, only few researches have focused on the simultaneous layout and pipe size optimization. In this study a hybrid approach is adapted for simultaneous layout and pipe size optimiza...
