A Genetic Algorithm Approach to a General Category Project Scheduling Problem
(IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 345 E 47TH ST, NEW YORK, NY 10017-2394 USA, 1999-02)
A genetic algorithm (GA) approach is proposed for the general resource constrained project scheduling model, in which activities may be executed in more than one operating mode and renewable as well as nonrenewable resource ...
Comparison of Partition Evaluation Measures in an Adaptive Partitioning Algorithm for Global Optimization
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, PO BOX 211, 1000 AE AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, 2001-01-01)
An adaptive partitioning algorithm with random search is proposed to locate the global optimum of multimodal functions. Partitioning algorithms divide the feasible region into nonoverlapping partitions in order to restrict ...
A Hierarchical Planning System for Energy Intensive Production Environments
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, PO BOX 211, 1000 AE AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, 1999-01-15)
This paper describes a hierarchical production planning approach with decision support features for energy intensive industries with particular reference to a tile manufacturing factory. In the tiling industry, the facilities ...
Hybrid Heuristics for the Multi-stage Capacitated Lot Sizing and Loading Problem
(STOCKTON PRESS, HOUNDMILLS, BASINGSTOKE RG21 6XS, HAMPSHIRE, ENGLAND, 1999-08)
The multi-stage capacitated lot sizing and loading problem (MCLSLP) deals with the issue of determining the lot sizes of product items in serially-arranged manufacturing stages and loading them on parallel facilities in ...
FRACTOP: A Geometric Partitioning Metaheuristic for Global Optimization
(KLUWER ACADEMIC PUBL, SPUIBOULEVARD 50, PO BOX 17, 3300 AA DORDRECHT, NETHERLANDS, 1999-06)
We propose a new metaheuristic, FRACTOP, for global optimization. FRACTOP is based on the geometric partitioning of the feasible region so that search metaheuristics such as Simulated Annealing (SA), or Genetic Algorithms ...
Discussions On Suitable Modulation Schemes for a Bi-directional Hot Electron Light Emitter and Absorber
(IEE-INST ELEC ENG, MICHAEL FARADAY HOUSE SIX HILLS WAY STEVENAGE, HERTFORD SG1 2AY, ENGLAND, 2002-10)
The hot electron light emitting and lasing semiconductor heterojunction (HELLISH) device is a novel emitter that utilises hot electron/hole transport parallel to the layers of an AlxGa1-xAs p-n junction containing GaAs ...
A Note On the Use of a Fuzzy Approach in Adaptive Partitioning Algorithms for Global Optimization
(IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 445 HOES LANE, PISCATAWAY, NJ 08855-4141 USA, 1999-08)
In global optimization, adaptive partitioning algorithms (APA) operate on the basis of partitioning the feasible region into subregions, sampling and evaluating each subregion, and selecting one or more subregions for ...
Linking Image Zones To Database By Using Inverse Voronoi Diagrams: A Novel Liz-Ivd Method
(Ieee, 345 E 47Th St, New York, Ny 10017 Usa, 2009)
This study proposes a novel Graphical Method (LIZIVD) as an effective solution to link areas on a raster map to a database containing zone characteristics data. The method involves Inverse Voronoi approach which constructs ...
Structure-Preserving And Query-Biased Document Summarisation For Web Searching
(Emerald Group Publishing Limited, Howard House, Wagon Lane, Bingley Bd16 1Wa, W Yorkshire, England, 2009)
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to develop a new summarisation approach, namely structure-preserving and query-biased summarisation, to improve the effectiveness of web searching. During web searching, one aid for ...
An Improved Tabu Search (ITS) Algorithm Based on Open Cover Theory for Global Extremums
(Springer-Verlag Berlin, Heidelberger Platz 3, D-14197 Berlin, Germany, 2009)
In this study, a new improved Tabu Search (ITS) algorithm with an open-cover approach is presented for solving global optimization of multimodal functions which have continuous or discrete variables. The method uses open ...
