A HYBRID MODIFIED GENETIC-NELDER MEAD SIMPLEX ALGORITHM FOR LARGE-SCALE TRUSS OPTIMIZATION

In this paper a hybrid algorithm based on exploration power of the Genetic algorithms and exploitation capability of Nelder Mead simplex is presented for global optimization of multi-variable functions. Some modifications are imposed on genetic algorithm to improve its capability and efficiency while being hybridized with Simplex method. Benchmark test examples of structural optimization with a...

Cloud Computing for Large-Scale Complex IT Systems

This proposal aims to extend and expand the work of the LSCITS Research Programme (RP) in its third, fourth, and fifth years (2010–2012) by extending the scope of the project into an exciting new area. The partners for this proposal are current LSCITS consortium members Bristol and St Andrews, both of whom have LSCITS PhD students working in cloud computing, and Aston University, an addition to...

Information Futureproofing for Large-scale Infrastructure

There are challenges of maintaining, refurbishing and modernising infrastructure assets under limited investments available for such purposes. Potential technological and operational challenges exist as a barrier to long-term information retention, which also plays a crucial role, amongst other factors, to futureproof major infrastructure. These issues appear to be trivial for short-term data m...

Large Scale Visual Recognition

Visual recognition remains one of the grand goals of artificial intelligence research. One major challenge is endowing machines with human ability to recognize tens of thousands of categories. Moving beyond previous work that is mostly focused on hundreds of categories, we make progress toward human scale visual recognition. Specifically, our contributions are as follows: First, we have constru...
