An Optimized Agile Estimation Plan Using Harmony Search Algorithm

چکیده
Agile Software development methodology is most emerging in software development, there has been a significant contribution from many researchers towards estimating the size, cost, schedule, effort and duration. However, the approaches reported in the literature lack in considering the evolution of biological systems for better optimization in agile. Here Agile Estimation Plan method determines the story size but the velocity is not properly defined and Harmony Search algorithm is adopted and modified in improvisation process towards agile to calculate the better velocity for each end of the iteration plan. This method help to improve the optimization while compare with normal agile process. The experimental results show how the harmony agile process is better than the normal agile process and it shows the efficiency of the method. KeywordSwarm Intelligence, Harmony Search, Optimization, Agile Software Development.

متن کاملA New Method for Forecasting Uniaxial Compressive Strength of Weak Rocks
The uniaxial compressive strength of weak rocks (UCSWR) is among the essential parameters involved for the design of underground excavations, surface and underground mines, foundations in/on rock masses, and oil wells as an input factor of some analytical and empirical methods such as RMR and RMI. The direct standard approaches are difficult, expensive, and time-consuming, especially with highl...

In this research, a two-phase algorithm based on the artificial neural network (ANN) and a harmony search (HS) algorithm has been developed with the aim of assessing the reliability of structures with implicit limit state functions. The proposed method involves the generation of datasets to be used specifically for training by Finite Element analysis, to establish an ANN model using a proven AN...
متن کاملSYMBIOTIC ORGANISMS SEARCH AND HARMONY SEARCH ALGORITHMS FOR DISCRETE OPTIMIZATION OF STRUCTURES
In this work, a new hybrid Symbiotic Organisms Search (SOS) algorithm introduced to design and optimize spatial and planar structures under structural constraints. The SOS algorithm is inspired by the interactive behavior between organisms to propagate in nature. But one of the disadvantages of the SOS algorithm is that due to its vast search space and a large number of organisms, it may trap i...
متن کاملAN OPTIMUM APPROACH TOWARDS SEISMIC FRAGILITY FUNCTION OF STRUCTURES THROUGH METAHEURISTIC HARMONY SEARCH ALGORITHM
Vulnerability assessment of structures encounter many uncertainties like seismic excitations intensity and response of structures. The most common approach adopted to deal with these uncertainties is vulnerability assessment through fragility functions. Fragility functions exhibit the probability of exceeding a state namely performance-level as a function of seismic intensity. A common approach...
