Due to the fact that the error surface of adaptive infinite impulse response (IIR) systems is generally nonlinear and multimodal, the conventional derivative based techniques fail when used in adaptive identification of such systems. In this case, global optimization techniques are required in order to avoid the local minima. Harmony search (HS), a musical inspired metaheuristic, is a recently ...

Determining the usability of mechanical ventilator interfaces is vital in ensuring correct usage under critical procedures that can place patients’ health danger. Heuristic evaluation has been used to evaluate many different areas, including medical devices. The objective this study a using heuristic method. simulator (Drager's Evita V500) was performed Evaluation System Checklist (HESC). Three...

Differential evolution algorithm is a heuristic global optimization technique based on population which is easy to understand and implement. In this paper we proposed a classification model base on differential evolution algorithm. The proposed model provides a good practicability and promising future for pattern identification.

The paper introduces a heuristic for the identification of coordination needs in interorganizational arrangements. Based on a classification of interorganizational arrangements coordination needs in dynamic organizational forms are identified. The classification criteria are used to specify corresponding coordination tasks. Elaborating on the concept of coordination roles, tasks are assigned to...
