Metaheuristics in Architecture
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper outlines our findings concerning the use of constraints as design drivers in a design exploration process and investigates a possible application of a heuristic search and optimization method in architecture as a means for constraint solving. Fundamental theoretical research will cover these two aspects, accompanied with an appropriate test-case. Ghent University, Belgium

+CARPS: Configuration of Metaheuristics based on JADE Agents
A novel agent-based approach to the configuration of algorithms including, but not limited to, metaheuristics is proposed in this work. Metaheuristics are examples of algorithms where parameters need to be set up as good as possible. Yet the selection of the most adequate parameter values is a recognized arduous work in the metaheuristics community. This paper proposes a new approach that makes...
متن کاملResearch Report: GPU-based Approaches for Hybrid Metaheuristics
In combinatorial optimization, near-optimal algorithms such as metaheuristics allow to iteratively solve in a reasonable time NP-hard complex problems. Two main categories of metaheuristics are distinguished: population-based metaheuristics (P-metaheuristics) and solution-based metaheuristics (S-metaheuristics). P-metaheuristics are population-oriented as they manage a whole population of solut...

In this paper the performance of four well-known metaheuristics consisting of Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), Biogeographic Based Optimization (BBO), Harmony Search (HS) and Teaching Learning Based Optimization (TLBO) are investigated on optimal domain decomposition for parallel computing. A clique graph is used for transforming the connectivity of a finite element model (FEM) into that of the cor...
متن کاملUsing Nature - Inspired Metaheuristics to Train Predictive Machines
Nature-inspired metaheuristics for optimization have proven successful, due to their fine balance between exploration and exploitation of a search space. This balance can be further refined by hybridization. In this paper, we conduct experiments with some of the most promising nature-inspired metaheuristics, for assessing their performance when using them to replace backpropagation as a learnin...
متن کاملNew 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....
