Energy-saving schemes are nowadays a major worldwide concern. As the building sector is energy consumer, and hence greenhouse gas emitter, research in home management systems (HEMS) has increased substantially during last years. One of primary purposes HEMS monitoring electric consumption disaggregating this across different appliances. Non-intrusive load (NILM) enables disaggregation without h...

Abstract The aim of this work is to enable a step towards self-adapting digital toolset for manufacturing planning focusing on minimally constrained assembly line balancing. approach includes the simultaneous definition optimum number workstations, cycle time and assignment tasks workstations. A bespoke genetic algorithm (GENALSAS) proposed demonstrated which focuses examining simple balancing ...

The rapid development of today’s society and the rapidly increasing incidence skeletal injuries caused by traffic industrial accidents have led to a significant increase in number patients with fractures accompanied severe soft tissue injuries, as well an increased osteomyelitis bone defects. Many these cannot be treated internal fixators can only external fixators. Taylor Bone External Fixator...

this paper proposes the exchange market algorithm (ema) to solve the combined economic and emission dispatch (ceed) problems in thermal power plants. the ema is a new, robust and efficient algorithm to exploit the global optimum point in optimization problems. existence of two seeking operators in ema provides a high ability in exploiting global optimum point. in order to show the capabilities ...

Carpooling has gained considerable importance as an effective solution for reducing pollution, mitigation of traffic and congestion on the roads, reduced demand parking facilities, lesser energy fuel consumption most importantly, reduction in carbon emission, thus improving quality life cities. This work presents a hybrid GA-A* algorithm to obtain optimal routes carpooling problem domain multio...

The main objective of regression testing is to test the modified software during maintenance phase of Software Development Life Cycle. An easiest strategy to regression testing is to retest all test cases in a test suite, but due to limitation of resources and time constraint, it is not efficient to implement. Test case prioritization technique increases the effectiveness of regression testing ...

Abstract Due to the shortcomings of GA in path planning, there are too many control variables and it is easy fall into local areas. We introduce idea a gene bank store new chromosomes generated each time bank. The linear regression proposed predict probability crossover mutation next generation. At same time, method increasing chromosome diversity proposed, which avoids problem that difficult s...
