A variety of expensive software maintenance and testing tasks require a comparison of the behaviors of program versions. Program spectra have recently been proposed as a heuristic for use in performing such comparisons. To assess the potential usefulness of spectra in this context , we conducted an experiment that examined the relationship between program spectra and program behavior , and empi...

In this manuscript, the modification of thermodynamic properties Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black holes in presence higher-order generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) have been investigated. We considered heuristic analysis versus behavior a particle that is absorbed by hole, then, we studied such as temperature-mass, temperature-charge-mass, entropy, heat capacity functions up ...

this paper considers the economic lot scheduling problem, that is, the problem of scheduling several products on a single facility so as to minimize holding and setup costs. combination of frequency and timing as well as production quantity make this problem np-hard. a heuristic is developed to obtain a good solution to elsp. the proposed heuristic makes use of the simulated annealing technique...

In this paper we consider the inventory control problem for serial supply chains with continuous, Markovmodulated demand (MMD). Our goal is to simplify the computational complexity by resorting to certain approximation techniques, and, in doing so, to gain a deeper understanding of the problem. To this end, we analyze the problem in several new ways. We first perform a derivative analysis of th...

An essential problem for hardware/software codesign is the partitioning of an application onto the computational resources. This paper presents a novel approach for the task level resource partitioning problem. Our approach is based on the Ant System algorithm, a meta-heuristic method inspired by the study of the behaviors of ants. In our algorithm, a collection of agents cooperate using distri...

System design techniques will soon become a necessity in order to tame the immense complexity of future computing systems. This is especially true with the advent of complex system architectures that contain a variety of computing components like microprocessors, memory elements and reconfigurable logic. System partitioning is an important step in the system design process. The problem assigns ...

Inspired by the behaviors of animals in state starvation, hunger games search algorithm (HGS) is proposed. HGS has shown competitive performance among other meta-heuristic (MH) algorithms. However, tends to stagnate local optimal for some complex optimization problems and remains premature convergence. Therefore, solve these enhance diversity population, a modified based on operators differenti...

With a framework based on the heuristic–systematic model of information processing, this study examined the effects of both content and contextual factors on the popularity of microblogging posts. The popularity of posts was operationalized as the re-tweeting times and number of comments received by posts, which are users’ behavioral outcomes after processing information. The data of the study ...

In recent years, various heuristic optimization methods have been developed. Many of these methods are inspired by swarm behaviors in nature. In this paper, a new optimization algorithm namely Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) based on the law of gravity and mass interactions is illustrated for designing Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) for single and multimachine power systems. ...
