Facility layout problems have been generally solved either hierarchically or integrated into other phases of plant design. In this paper, a hybrid method is introduced so that clustering and facilities layout can be simultaneously optimized. Each cluster is formed by a group of connected facilities and selection of the most appropriate cluster configuration is aimed. Since exact method by MIP i...

Competent data mining methods are vital to discover knowledge from databases which are built as a result of enormous growth of data. Various techniques of data mining are applied to obtain knowledge from these databases. Data clustering is one such descriptive data mining technique which guides in partitioning data objects into disjoint segments. K-means algorithm is a versatile algorithm among...

Cluster computing offers many advantages as a highly cost-effective and often scalable approach for highperformance computing in general, and most recently as a basis for hardware-reconfigurable systems. To achieve the full potential of performance of reconfigurable HPC systems, a runtime configuration service is required. Centralized configuration services are a natural starting point but tend...

in order to provide climatology atlas of frosts statistical properties of iran and to attain spatial and temporal pattern of it, daily data of minimum temperature of 62 synoptic weather stations for a 15 year-period (1991-2007) from october to may, were adopted from iran meteorological organization. by choosing may 1st as basis day, five statistical properties and their spatial and temporal dis...

We define a combinatorial model for $F$-polynomials and $g$-vectors type $D_n$ cluster algebras where the associated quiver is acyclic. Our utilizes combination of dimer configurations double which we refer to as mixed configurations. In particular, give graph theoretic recipe that describes monomials appear in such $F$-polynomials, well way determine coefficients each these monomials. addition...

We continue the exploration of various appearances cluster algebras in scattering amplitudes and related topics physics. The configuration spaces generalize familiar moduli space ${\mathcal M}_{0,n}$ to finite-type algebras. study worldsheet-like variables, which for classical types have also appeared symbol alphabet Feynman integrals. provide a systematic derivation these variables from $Y$-sy...
