The Longevity of Distinct Cultures in an Agent-Based Model of Memetic Drift

چکیده

When a distinct cultural region forms, its rate of absorption into the surrounding culture may be an important variable to take into account when attempting to minimise conflict. This paper describes a re-implementation of Axelrod’s agentbased model of cultural dissemination, and uses it to investigate how random drift influences the longevity of distinct regions. Cultural regions are found to be surprisingly resistant to such memetic drift.

Genetic and Memetic Algorithms for Sequencing a New JIT Mixed-Model Assembly Line

This paper presents a new mathematical programming model for the bi-criteria mixed-model assembly line balancing problem in a just-in-time (JIT) production system. There is a set of criteria to judge sequences of the product mix in terms of the effective utilization of the system. The primary goal of this model is to minimize the setup cost and the stoppage assembly line cost, simultaneously. B...

Detecting Concept Drift in Data Stream Using Semi-Supervised Classification

Data stream is a sequence of data generated from various information sources at a high speed and high volume. Classifying data streams faces the three challenges of unlimited length, online processing, and concept drift. In related research, to meet the challenge of unlimited stream length, commonly the stream is divided into fixed size windows or gradual forgetting is used. Concept drift refer...

Representing a Model for Improving Connectivity and Power Dissipation in Wireless Networks Using Mobile Sensors

Wireless sensor networks are often located in areas where access to them is difficult or dangerous. Today, in wireless sensor networks, cluster-based routing protocols by dividing sensor nodes into distinct clusters and selecting local head-clusters to combine and send information of each cluster to the base station and balanced energy consumption by network nodes, get the best performance ...
