A multi-objective optimum design method of the balanced Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filter is proposed. The frequency response characteristics of the balanced SAW filters are governed primarily by their geometrical structures. Besides, specifications for a balanced SAW filter is given by using several criteria. Therefore, in order to realize desirable frequency response characteristics, the str...

in this paper, a new approach based on game theory has been proposed to multi responses problem optimization. game theory is a useful tool for decision making in the conflict of interests between intelligent players in order to select the best joint strategy for them through selecting the best joint desirability. present research uses the game theory approach via definition of each response as ...

In this paper, we present a methodology for solving a multi-product, multi-depot periodic vehicle routing problem. The problem focuses on allocating products and assigning appropriate delivery days to a set of customers, and designing a set of delivery routes for every day of the planning period. A tabu-search based heuristic is proposed to find the best allocation and routing plan that would g...

  We relax some assumptions of the traditional scheduling problem and suggest an adapted meta-heuristic algorithm to optimize efficient utilization of resources and quick response to demands simultaneously. We intend to bridge the existing gap between theory and real industrial scheduling assumptions (e.g., hot metal rolling industry, chemical and pharmaceutical industries). We adapt and evalua...

There are many real problems in which multiple responses should be optimized simultaneously by setting of process variables. One of the common approaches for optimization of multi-response problems is desirability function. In most real cases, there is a correlation structure between responses so ignoring the correlation may lead to mistake results. Hence, in this paper a robust approach based ...

Growing concern in the management of energy due to the increasing energy costs, has forced managers to optimize the amount of energy required to provide products and services. This research integrates an energy-based resource investment project-scheduling problem (RIP) under a multi-skilled structure of the resources. The proposed energy based multi skilled resource investment problem (EB-MSRIP...

In our data world, a host of not necessarily trusted controllers gather on individual subjects. To preserve her privacy and, more generally, informational self-determination, the has to be empowered by giving agency own data. Maximum is afforded local anonymization, that allows each anonymize before handing them controller. Randomized response (RR) anonymization approach able yield multi-dimens...
