Scout Algorithms and Genetic Algorithms: A Comparative Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
A comparative study of the recently proposed Scout algorithm (Scout O) [1] and the standard genetic algorithm (SGA) is presented. The main results are: update rules can be given, for which Scout O performs similar to SGA; schemata of SGA can be identi ed for Scout O as well; and Scout O ful lls Hollands admissible detector con guration paradigm [2], a necessary pre-cursor of SGA-like algorithms.

COMPARATIVE COSTS OF THE PRODUCTION, TRANSPORT AND ASSEMBLY STAGES OF PRESTRESSED PRECAST SLABS USING GENETIC ALGORITHMS
In the precast structures, optimization of structural elements is of great interest mainly due to a more rationalized way that elements are produced. There are several elements of precast prestressed concrete that are objects of study in optimization processes, as the prestressed joist applied in buildings slabs. This article inquires into cost minimization of continuous and simply supported sl...
