clustering is a widespread data analysis and data mining technique in many fields of study such as engineering, medicine, biology and the like. the aim of clustering is to collect data points. in this paper, a cultural algorithm (ca) is presented to optimize partition with n objects into k clusters. the ca is one of the effective methods for searching into the problem space in order to find a n...

Offshore jacket-type towers are steel structures designed and constructed in marine environments for various purposes such as oil exploration and exploitation units, oceanographic research, and undersea testing. In this paper a newly developed meta-heuristic algorithm, namely Cyclical Parthenogenesis Algorithm (CPA), is utilized for sizing optimization of a jacket-type offshore structure. The a...

This contribution deals with an optimal design of a brushless DC motor, using optimization algorithms, based on collective intelligence. For this purpose, the case study motor is perfectly explained and its significant specifications are obtained as functions of the motor geometric parameters. In fact, the geometric parameters of the motor are considered as optimization variables. Then, the obj...

Genetic algorithm has an important role in improving clustering methods. When it comes to getting into a dataset, one of the most common methods used is clustering. Recent years have seen rise number articles interested clustering, which may be attributed development various new fields application. Most method's performance depends on initial values parameters or preprocessing so needs optimize...

this paper focuses on multi-objective designing of multi-machine thyristor controlled series compensator (tcsc) using strength pareto evolutionary algorithm (spea). the tcsc parameters designing problem is converted to an optimization problem with the multi-objective function including the desired damping factor and the desired damping ratio of the power system modes, which is solved by a spea ...

one of the best applications of automated navigation systems is the use of automatic steering systems in agricultural vehicles. in this research, a machine vision algorithm was designed, based on image acquisition from a camera mounted on front of acombine harvester cab fordetection of its forward path. after filtration and optimization of the image, hough transform was utilized for extracting ...
