Reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs of a pumping system is seen as an important but difficult multi-objective optimization problem. Many evolutionary algorithms, such particle swarm (PSO), (MOPSO), non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) have been used. However, lack comparison between these approaches poses challenge to the selection approach for stormwater drainage ...

Abstract Distributed power can effectively alleviate the problems of environmental pollution and energy shortage. Based on consideration low-carbon benefits DG, a multi-objective mathematical model with minimal system carbon dioxide emissions, minimum annual network loss cost, voltage deviation distribution is established for multi-type DG access location capacity. This solved using MOPSO algor...

Given the growth of wireless networks and increase advantages applications communication networks, especially mobile ad hoc (MANETs), this type network has attracted attention users researchers more than before. The benefit these types in various kinds environments is that MANET does not require to hardware infrastructure communicate send receive data packets within network. It one main reasons...

Till Mosa och Elias som gör livet så mycket roligare att leva. " Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind. " – Bruce Lee List of Papers This thesis is based on the following publications, which are referred to in the text by their Roman numerals. The thesis contains extended versions of all the papers. I. I developed the ...

Structural optimization for vehicle fatigue durability signifies an exciting topic of research to improve its long-term safety and performance with minimum cost. Nevertheless, majority of the existing studies has been dealing with deterministic optimization and has not involved uncertainties, which could lead to an unstable or even useless design in practice. In order to simultaneously enhance ...

Due to limited financial resources and high costs of infrastructure projects, project stakeholders seek gain maximum profits with optimal resource utilization as well cost time minimization. Therefore, this study presents a multi-mode resource-constrained scheduling model considering the uncertain parameters together goals maximizing net present value minimizing usage fluctuation. Also, assumpt...

This paper proposes a homogeneous distributed computing (HDC) framework for multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (MOEA). In this framework, multiple processors divide a work into several pieces and carry them out in parallel. Every processor does its task in a homogeneous way so that the overall procedure becomes not only faster but also fault-tolerant and independent to the number of process...

A Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) is an integrated business and technical strategy for developing flexible and standards-based architectures to achieve affordable, interoperable, and sustainable systems. As a business strategy, it capitalizes on reducing the total system ownership costs via application of the latest products and state-of-the-art technologies from multiple sources. As a tec...
