The recently completed Horizon 2020 European Research project—HOLISHIP—Holistic Optimization of Ship Design and Operation for Life Cycle (2016–2020) has developed suitable tools software platforms which are necessary the creation innovative design solutions meeting set low-emission strategic objectives. present paper introduces an innovative, holistic approach to ship development integrated too...

Abstract We are going through uncertain times due to the “polycrisis”, a context which makes us wonder about role of Design in simplifying complexity into projects with 5P perspective. The hypothesis is that figure Transitional Industrial Designer (TID) emerging support complex industrial sectors such as Packaging, someone able interact all stakeholders, manage digital tools and design project ...

in a large scale cyclic storage system ,as the number of rule parameters and/or number of operating period increase, general purpose gradient-based nlp solvers and/or genetic algorithms may loose their merits in finding optimally feasible solution to the problem. in these cases hybrid ga which decomposes the main problem into two manageable sub-problems with an iterative scheme between ga and l...

the simultaneous optimization of multiple responses is an important problem in the design of industrial processes in order to achieve improved quality. in this paper, we present a new metaheuristic approach including simulated annealing and particle swarm optimization to optimize all responses simultaneously. for the purpose of illustration and comparison, the proposed approach is applied to tw...
