FOA: ‘Following’ Optimization Algorithm for solving Power engineering optimization problems

These days randomized-based population optimization algorithms are in wide use in different branches of science such as bioinformatics, chemical physics andpower engineering. An important group of these algorithms is inspired by physical processes or entities’ behavior. A new approach of applying optimization-based social relationships among the members of a community is investigated in this pa...

AN EFFICIENT METAHEURISTIC ALGORITHM FOR ENGINEERING OPTIMIZATION: SOPT

Metaheuristic algorithms are well-known optimization tools which have been employed for solving a wide range of optimization problems so far. In the present study, a simple optimization (SOPT) algorithm with two main steps namely exploration and exploitation, is provided for practical applications. Aside from a reasonable rate of convergence attained, the ease in its implementation and dependen...

Membrane Engineering for Today and for Tomorrow

Fuzzy VIKOR Optimization for Designing High Performance Hydroxyapatite/Polycaprolactone Scaffolds for Hard Tissue Engineering

Optimization and Engineering Applications

Among the participants were optimization researchers that work on engineering optimization problems and vice versa. The cross fertilization of experts in both fields is crucial for the development of new methods in both communities. Although there is an increasing awareness of common interests, until recently there have been only very few opportunities for the two sides to meet at conferences. ...
