This article proposes a metaheuristic optimization/social simulation approach to find the optimal team for a given type of the project. The quality of the team is assessed in a black-box optimization environment, where the optimized function acts as a metaphor of the project to be completed within the certain time limit (number of fitness function evaluations) and each fitness function evaluati...

Among the models of quantum computation, the One-way Quantum Computer [10, 11] is one of the most promising proposals of physical realization [12], and opens new perspectives for parallelization by taking advantage of quantum entanglement [2]. Since a one-way quantum computation is based on quantum measurement, which is a fundamentally nondeterministic evolution, a sufficient condition of globa...

In this paper the problem of optimal location of service centers is considered by minimax criterion. It is supposed that the information received from GIS is presented like graph with fuzzy intervals. The notion of fuzzy set of interval bases is considered. It is shown that the problem of service centers location is reduced to a problem of finding fuzzy set of interval bases. Method of finding ...

in recent years, significant research efforts have been devoted to the optimal planning of power systems. substation expansion planning (sep) as a sub-system of power system planning consists of finding the most economical solution with the optimal location and size of future substations and/or feeders to meet the future demand. the large number of design variables, and combination of discrete ...

An approach for assignment of the optimal location and tap changer adjustment related to flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiters with tap changer (TC-FLSFCL) is used in this paper by debating the reduction of fault current flowing from each device and enhancement of reliability varying with customer type in a distribution network connected with distribution generation (DG). TC-FLS...

In this paper a model is proposed for distribution centers location and joint replenishment of a distribution system that is responsible for orders and product delivery to distribution centers. This distribution centers are under limitedwarehouse space and this can determine amount of requirement product by considering proposed discount.The proposed model is develop to minimize total costs cons...

In this paper, we derive optimality results for greedy Bayesian-network search algorithms that perform single-edge modi cations at each step and use asymptotically consistent scoring criteria. Our results extend those of Meek (1997) and Chickering (2002), who demonstrate that in the limit of large datasets, if the generative distribution is perfect with respect to a DAG de ned over the observab...

We study the NP-hard problem of finding a directed acyclic graph (DAG) on a given set of nodes so as to maximize a given scoring function. The problem models the task of inferring a probabilistic network from data, which has been studied extensively in the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Several variants of the problem, where the output DAG is constrained in several ways...
