Using the NEOS Server for Solving Two Classes of Optimization Problems

Optimization on the NEOS Server

The NEOS Server for Optimization was unveiled in 1995 as one result of an effort to develop computational servers and collaborative technologies. Today, the NEOS Server (www-neos.mcs.anl.gov) is a multi-institutional research effort providing access to more than fifty academic and commercial optimization packages through an assortment of Internet interfaces. More than seventy thousand job reque...

NEOS and CONDOR: Solving Optimization Problems over the Internet

Solving Tough Optimal Control Problems by Network Enabled Optimization Server (NEOS)

The Network Enabled Optimization Server (NEOS) for solving tough optimal control problems (OCPs) is introduced. Though NEOS is generally used to solve static optimization problems, in solving dynamic optimizations (OCPs) in a general form, we show that the NEOS Server has some advantages over the existing dedicated optimal control software packages. After a step by step introduction of how to s...

abstract nowadays, the science of decision making has been paid to more attention due to the complexity of the problems of suppliers selection. as known, one of the efficient tools in economic and human resources development is the extension of communication networks in developing countries. so, the proper selection of suppliers of tc equipments is of concern very much. in this study, a ...

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...
