A three stage production system is considered in this paper. There are two stages to fabricate and ready the parts and an assembly stage to assembly the parts and complete the products in this system. Suppose that a number of products of different kinds are ordered. Each product is assembled with a set of several parts. At first the parts are produced in the first stage with parallel machines a...

In recent multimedia system, people consider speed, power, and size very important. People want the process to have very high performance and high quality, while consume only small amount of power. Beside the development on better algorithm, special hardware design techniques can also help in increasing performance. This project mainly focuses on the linear predictive coding algorithm on speech...

A Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) is tuned using the algorithm NSGA-II. The proposed method eliminates laborious design steps such as tuning of membership functions and conclusion table parameters. An object approach representation is used to build an adequate FLC representation. Object is an individual abstraction in order to improve crossover a mutation operators. The Genetic...

The article presents a proposed customized genetic algorithm (CGA) to find the Pareto frontier for bi-objective integer linear programming (ILP) model of routing in dynamic network, where number nodes and edge weights vary over time. Utilizing hybrid method, CGA combines with (DP); it is fast alternative an ILP solver finding efficient solutions, particularly large dimensions. A non-dominated s...

A Dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN) model for probabilistic assessment of tunnel construction performance is introduced. It facilitates the quantification of uncertainties in the construction process and of the risk from extraordinary events that cause severe delays and damages. Stochastic dependencies resulting from the influence of human factors and other external factors are addressed in the mo...

This study proposes a non-parametric efficiency frontier analysis method based on artificial neural network (ANN) and genetic algorithm clustering ensemble (GACE) for measuring efficiency as a complementary tool for the common techniques of the efficiency studies in the previous studies. The proposed ANN GA algorithm is able to find a stochastic frontier based on a set of input–output observati...

Evolutionary algorithms have been recognized to be suitable for extracting approximate solutions of multi-objective problems because of their capability to evolve a set of non-dominated solutions distributed along the Pareto frontier‎. ‎This paper applies an evolutionary optimization scheme‎, ‎inspired by Multi-objective Invasive Weed Optimization (MOIWO) and Non-dominated Sorting (NS) strategi...

During the last decade, the stringent pressures from environmental and social requirements have spurred an interest in designing a reverse logistics (RL) network. The success of a logistics system may depend on the decisions of the facilities locations and vehicle routings. The location-routing problem (LRP) simultaneously locates the facilities and designs the travel routes for vehicles among ...
