Nature-Inspired Metaheuristics for Two-Agent Scheduling with Due Date and Release Time

Nature-inspired metaheuristics for multiobjective activity crashing

Many project tasks and manufacturing processes consist of interdependent timerelated activities that can be represented as networks. Deciding which of these subprocesses should receive extra resources to speed up the whole network (i. e., where activity crashing should be applied) usually involves the pursuit of multiple objectives amid a lack of a priori preference information. A common decisi...

Nature-Inspired Planner Agent for Health Care

This paper presents an autonomous intelligent agent with a human thinking reasoning model, based on past experiences. The agent is developed to assist medical staff in geriatric residences. The health care process is a vital function, requiring nature-inspired solutions imitating the residence staff behaviours. An autonomous deliberative Case-Based Planner agent, AGALZ (Autonomous aGent for mon...

Estimation of Optimal Crop Plan Using Nature Inspired Metaheuristics

Irrigation management has gained significance due to growing social needs and increasing command for food grains while the available resources have remained limited and scarce. Irrigation management includes optimal allocation of water for irrigation purposes, optimal cropping pattern for a given land area and water availabilities with an objective to maximize economic returns. In the present s...

Using Nature - Inspired Metaheuristics to Train Predictive Machines

Nature-inspired metaheuristics for optimization have proven successful, due to their fine balance between exploration and exploitation of a search space. This balance can be further refined by hybridization. In this paper, we conduct experiments with some of the most promising nature-inspired metaheuristics, for assessing their performance when using them to replace backpropagation as a learnin...
