چکیده

In this paper the approach to problem solving using societies of agents is discussed. Al-beit being a very promising topic in Arti-cial Intelligence, it seems to lack strong theoretical and methodological foundations and easy-to-use implemented systems in order to prove its usefulness and adequacy. This is the reason a methodology for problem solving based on societies of agents is presented. The approach to some problems using the implemented system | RUBA | and the corresponding results follows. The source code and documentation of RUBA is available at the project's web page:

Intelligent Tuned Harmony Search for Solving Economic Dispatch Problem with Valve-point Effects and Prohibited Operating Zones

Economic dispatch with valve point effect and Prohibited Operating Zones (POZs) is a non-convex and discontinuous optimization problem. Harmony Search (HS) is one of the recently presented meta-heuristic algorithms for solving optimization problems, which has different variants. The performances of these variants are severely affected by selection of different parameters of the algorithm. Intel...

APPLICATION OF TABU SEARCH FOR SOLVING THE BI-OBJECTIVE WAREHOUSE PROBLEM IN A FUZZY ENVIRONMENT

The bi-objective warehouse problem in a crisp environment is often not eective in dealing with the imprecision or vagueness in the values of the problem parameters. To deal with such situations, several researchers have proposed that the parameters be represented as fuzzy numbers. We describe a new algorithm for fuzzy bi-objective warehouse problem using a ranking function followed by an applic...

A Cuckoo search algorithm (CSA) for Precedence Constrained Sequencing Problem (PCSP)

Precedence constrained sequencing problem (PCSP) is related to locate the optimal sequence with the shortest traveling time among all feasible sequences. In PCSP, precedence relations determine sequence of traveling between any two nodes. Various methods and algorithms for effectively solving the PCSP have been suggested. In this paper we propose a cuckoo search algorithm (CSA) for effectively ...

A Combined Stochastic Programming and Robust Optimization Approach for Location-Routing Problem and Solving it via Variable Neighborhood Search algorithm

The location-routing problem is one of the combined problems in the area of supply chain management that simultaneously make decisions related to location of depots and routing of the vehicles. In this paper, the single-depot capacitated location-routing problem under uncertainty is presented. The problem aims to find the optimal location of a single depot and the routing of vehicles to serve th...

A Free Line Search Steepest Descent Method for Solving Unconstrained Optimization Problems

In this paper, we solve unconstrained optimization problem using a free line search steepest descent method. First, we propose a double parameter scaled quasi Newton formula for calculating an approximation of the Hessian matrix. The approximation obtained from this formula is a positive definite matrix that is satisfied in the standard secant relation. We also show that the largest eigen value...

A Proposed Improved Hybrid Hill Climbing Algorithm with the Capability of Local Search for Solving the Nonlinear Economic Load Dispatch Problem

This paper introduces a new hybrid hill-climbing algorithm (HHC) for solving the Economic Dispatch (ED) problem. This algorithm solves the ED problems with a systematic search structure with a global search. It improves the results obtained from an evolutionary algorithm with local search and converges to the best possible solution that grabs the accuracy of the problem. The most important goal...
