چکیده

The development of simulation techniques that can elucidate the function of biomolecular nanodevices is still in its infancy. In this paper we summarize our approach to the investigation of structural properties of biomolecular systems with stochastic optimization methods. We briefly review the stochastic tunnelling method and summarize applications in two important areas of biomolecular structure prediction: protein folding and protein–ligand association.

Hybrid Probabilistic Search Methods for Simulation Optimization

Discrete-event simulation based optimization is the process of finding the optimum design of a stochastic system when the performance measure(s) could only be estimated via simulation. Randomness in simulation outputs often challenges the correct selection of the optimum. We propose an algorithm that merges Ranking and Selection procedures with a large class of random search methods for continu...

Traffic Signal Prediction Using Elman Neural Network and Particle Swarm Optimization

Prediction of traffic is very crucial for its management. Because of human involvement in the generation of this phenomenon, traffic signal is normally accompanied by noise and high levels of non-stationarity. Therefore, traffic signal prediction as one of the important subjects of study has attracted researchers’ interests. In this study, a combinatorial approach is proposed for traffic signal...
