in this paper, a stochastic cell formation problem is studied using queuing theory framework and considering reliability. since cell formation problem is np-hard, two algorithms based on genetic and modified particle swarm optimization (mpso) algorithms are developed to solve the problem. for generating initial solutions in these algorithms, a new heuristic method is developed, which always cre...

coverage improvement is one of the main problems in wireless sensor networks. given a finite number of sensors, improvement of the sensor deployment will provide sufficient sensor coverage and save cost of sensors for locating in grid points. for achieving good coverage, the sensors should be placed in adequate places. this paper uses the genetic and learning automata as intelligent methods for...

wireless sensor networks, due to the characteristics of sensors such as wireless communication channels, the lack of infrastructure and targeted threats, are very vulnerable to the various attacks. routing attacks on the networks, where a malicious node from sending data to the base station is perceived. in this article, a method that can be used to transfer the data securely to prevent attacks...

various synthesis methods have been proposed in the literature for reversible and quantum logic circuits. however, there are few algorithms to optimize an existing circuit with multiple constraints simultaneously. in this paper, some heuristics in genetic algorithms (ga) to optimize a given circuit in terms of quantum cost, number of gates, location of garbage outputs, and delay, are proposed. ...

the finite element method (fem) is one of advanced methods in modeling of solid mechanics used in the design and analyzing of prosthesis in the human body. one of the important factors in designing a femur (the linkage between basin and knee) which is under complicated stresses is to minimize the amount of the stress in the components of the prosthesis due to the body weight. in this research t...

The array factor (sidelobe level, SLL) of a linear array is optimized using modified continuous genetic algorithms in this work. The amplitudes and phases of the currents as well as the separation of the antennas are all taken as variables to be controlled. The results of the design using modified GA versions are compared with other methods. Two design problems were studied using several contin...

In today’s competitive world, the need to supply chain management (SCM) is more than ever. Since the purpose of logistic problems is minimizing the costs of organization to create favorable time and place for the products, SCM seek to create competitive advantage for their organizations and increase their productivity. This paper proposes a new multi-objective model for integrated forward / rev...

pumps are among the early instruments invented by humans to be taken advantage of in the use of water utilities. design and operation problem of pumping stations is a type of mixed integer non linear programming, in which gradient based optimization methods are not efficient for solving complex problems of this type. in this regard, such evolutionary optimization algorithms as genetic algorithm...
