Unconventional machining processes (communally named advanced or modern machining processes) are widely used by manufacturing industries. These advanced machining processes allow producing complex profiles and high quality-products. However, several process parameters should be optimized to achieve this end. In this paper, the optimization of process parameters of two conventional and four adva...

The minimum crossing number problem is among the oldest and most fundamental problems arising in the area of automatic graph drawing. In this paper, eight population-based meta-heuristic algorithms are utilized to tackle the minimum crossing number problem for two special types of graphs, namely complete graphs and complete bipartite graphs. A 2-page book drawing representation is employed for ...

To handle scheduling of tasks on heterogeneous systems, an algorithm is proposed to reduce execution time while allowing for maximum parallelization. The algorithm is based on multi-objective scheduling cuckoo optimization algorithm (MOSCOA). In this algorithm, each cuckoo represents a scheduling solution in which the ordering of tasks and processors allocated to them are considered. In additio...

Meta-heuristic algorithms are applied in optimization problems in a variety of fields, including engineering, economics, and computer science. In this paper, seven population-based meta-heuristic algorithms are employed for size and geometry optimization of truss structures. These algorithms consist of the Artificial Bee Colony algorithm, Cyclical Parthenogenesis Algorithm, Cuckoo Search algori...

Today, the information is growing enormously and it is difficult and tedious task to retrieve the necessary information from that pool. The main area for retrieving relevant answers is called intelligent information retrieval. To achieve this, question and answering system is used. This question and answering plays a major role in user query processing, information retrieval and extracting rela...
