Water cycle algorithm (WCA) is a new metaheuristic algorithm which the fundamental concepts of WCA are derived from nature and are based on the observation of water cycle process and how rivers and streams flow to sea in the real world. In this paper, the task of sizing optimization of truss structures including discrete and continues variables carried out using WCA, and the optimization result...

Warehouse Control System (WCS) aims to manage a broad range of facilities in the warehouse. WCS is different from warehouse management system (WMS). It manages and controls facilities (e.g. equipment) in the warehouse while WMS manages orders in the warehouse. A WCS controls a number of equipment simultaneously while an equipment control system (ECS) controls individual machine. We analysed key...
