Nature-Inspired Optimisation Approaches and the New Plant Propagation Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nature-inspired algorithms are proving to be very successful on complex optimisation problems. A new algorithm, inspired by the way plants, and in particular the strawberry plant, propagate is presented. The algorithm is explained, tested on standard test functions, and compared with the well known Nelder-Mead algorithm. The new approach is then applied to a complex process design problem that arises in Chlorobenzene purification, a problem that exhibits strong nonlinear behaviour and has a small feasible region.

New Approaches in Metaheuristics to Solve the Truck Scheduling Problem in a Cross-docking Center
Nowadays, cross-docking is one of the main concepts in supply chain management in which products received to a distribution center by inbound trucks which are directly to lead into outbound trucks with a minimum handling and storage costs as the main cost of a cross-docking system. According to the literature, several metaheuristics and heuristics are attempted to solve this optimization model....
متن کاملA New Solution for the Cyclic Multiple-Part Type Three-Machine Robotic Cell Problem based on the Particle Swarm Meta-heuristic
In this paper, we develop a new mathematical model for a cyclic multiple-part type threemachine robotic cell problem. In this robotic cell a robot is used for material handling. The objective is finding a part sequence to minimize the cycle time (i.e.; maximize the throughput) with assumption of known robot movement. The developed model is based on Petri nets and provides a new method to calcul...
متن کاملNew Ant Colony Algorithm Method based on Mutation for FPGA Placement Problem
Many real world problems can be modelled as an optimization problem. Evolutionary algorithms are used to solve these problems. Ant colony algorithm is a class of evolutionary algorithms that have been inspired of some specific ants looking for food in the nature. These ants leave trail pheromone on the ground to mark good ways that can be followed by other members of the group. Ant colony optim...

متن کاملOptimisation of assembly scheduling in VCIM systems using genetic algorithm
Assembly plays an important role in any production system as it constitutes a significant portion of the lead time and cost of a product. Virtual computer-integrated manufacturing (VCIM) system is a modern production system being conceptually developed to extend the application of traditional computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) system to global level. Assembly scheduling in VCIM systems is ...
