With the increasing rate of population in big cities around world, tendency to build new buildings suburb main or large apartments has been highlighted. In this regard, building residential complexes seen a dramatic increase these areas as it makes possible number units within reasonable space. Although have brought numerous benefits, they are some challenges regarding their construction proces...

The purpose of this paper is multi-objective optimization of refrigeration cycle by optimization of all components of the cycle contains heat exchangers, air condenser, evaporator and super-heater. Studied refrigeration cycle is compression refrigeration cycle of unit 132 Third refineries in south pars that provide chilled water for cooling refinery equipment's. Cycle will be performed by t...

Inventory management requires thousands or millions of individual transactions each year. Classification the items influences results inventory management. Traditionally, this is usually classified with considering an annual dollar usage criterion but maybe other criteria such as lead time, criticality, perishability, cost, and demand type can be affected on that classification. have more than ...

In this contribution, a novel methodology for multi-class classification in the field of Parkinson’s disease is proposed. The structured two phases. first phase, most relevant volumes interest (VOI) brain are selected by means an evolutionary multi-objective optimization (MOE) algorithm. Each these VOIs subjected to volumetric feature extraction using Three-Dimensional Discrete Wavelet Transfor...

Data clustering is one of the most important areas of research in data mining and knowledge discovery. Recent research in this area has shown that the best clustering results can be achieved using multi-objective methods. In other words, assuming more than one criterion as objective functions for clustering data can measurably increase the quality of clustering. In this study, a model with two ...

to use services transparently in a distributed environment, the utility grids develop a cyber-infrastructure. the parameters of the quality of service such as the allocation-cost and makespan have to be dealt with in order to schedule workflow application tasks in the utility grids. optimization of both target parameters above is a challenge in a distributed environment and may conflict one ano...

The use of meta-heuristic optimization methods have become quite generic in the past two decades. This paper provides a theoretical investigation to find optimum design parameters of the Stirling heat engines using a recently presented nature-inspired method namely the gray wolf optimization (GWO). This algorithm is utilized for the maximization of the output power/thermal efficiency as well as...

Beneficial Management Practices (BMPs) are important measures for reducing agricultural non-point source (NPS) pollution. However, selection of BMPs for placement in a watershed requires optimizing available resources to maximize possible water quality benefits. Due to its iterative nature, the optimization typically takes a long time to achieve the BMP trade-off results which is not desirable ...

In this paper, a new version of multi-objective differential evolution with dynamically adaptable mutation factor is used for Pareto optimization of a 5-degree of freedom vehicle vibration model excited by non-stationary random road profile. In this way, non-dominated sorting algorithm and crowding distance criterion have been combined to differential evolution with fuzzified mutation in order ...
