the main purpose of design in civil engineering is to establish a project which has the most versatility on the expected needs and existing conditions. through optimization this is equivalent to determination of a group of design variables that cause minimizing the object function versus imposed loads, restraints and predetermined parameters. in this research, genetic algorithm method is used t...

This paper presents an evolutionary approach (genetic algorithm) to allocate frequencies in the cells of cellular network. In cellular telephone system, each cellular area is divided into small regions called cells. Each cell uses a unique set of frequencies. There is limited frequency so the frequency needs to be reuse. The Frequency allocation problem states that given any area separated into...

This paper presents a new, bi-criteria mixed-integer programming model for scheduling cells and pieces within each cell in manufacturing cellular system. The objective of this is to minimize the makespan inter-cell movements simultaneously, while considering sequence-dependent setup times. In CMS design planning, three main steps must be considered, namely formation (i.e., piece families machin...

in this paper, the distribution network for multi-level supply chain has been studied. products produced in factories are sent to customers through warehouses and distribution centers based on specific demands. warehouses as holding inventory facilities are located close to factories and the distribution centers are placed in the most accessible locations for services near customers. each item ...

A simulator is developed for training and optimizing the templates for cellular neural networks for obstacle detection. The simulator uses the Genetic Algorithm (GA) for training the cellular neural network. The traditional method of genetic algorithm involves creating an initial population of random solutions (chromosomes) in binary format, the so called chromosomes encoding. But this approach...

In this work we present a new hybrid cellular genetic algorithm. We take MOCell as starting point, a multi-objective cellular genetic algorithm, and, instead of using the typical genetic crossover and mutation operators, they are replaced by the reproductive operators used in differential evolution. An external archive is used to store the nondominated solutions found during the search process ...

In this paper an intrusion detection algorithm based on GP ensembles is proposed. The algorithm runs on a distributed hybrid multiisland model-based environment to monitor security-related activity within a network. Each island contains a cellular genetic program whose aim is to generate a decision-tree predictor, trained on the local data stored in the node. Every genetic program operates coop...

We investigate the ability of a genetic algorithm to design cellular automata that perform computations. The computational strategies of the resulting cellular automata can be understood using a framework in which “particles” embedded in space-time configurations carry information and interactions between particles effect information processing. This structural analysis can also be used to expl...

distributed generations (dgs) are utilized to supply the active and reactive power in the transmission and distribution systems. these types of power sources have many benefits such as power quality enhancement, voltage deviation reduction, power loss reduction, load shedding reduction, reliability improvement, etc. in order to reach the above benefits, the optimal placement and sizing of dg is...
