The Voronoi diagram is a widely used partition of space which may be implemented in a variety of unconventional computing prototypes, sharing in common the uniform propagation of information via fronts emanating from data point sources. The giant single-celled amoeboid organism Physarum polycephalum constructs minimising transport networks but can also approximate the Voronoi diagram using two ...

Research in unconventional, or nature-inspired, computing aims to uncover novel principles of efficient information processing and computation in physical, chemical and biological systems, to develop novel non-standard algorithms and computing architectures, and also to implement conventional algorithms in non-silicon, or wet, substrates. This emerging field of science and engineering is predom...

The purpose of this research study is to solve a four-objective optimization problem in the construction industry using hybrid model that combines slime mould algorithm (SMA) with opposition-based learning. This known as adaptive opposition (AOSMA). Two typical projects have introduced time, cost, quality, and safety trade-off (TCQS), which are factors greatest influence on completion project r...

Solar energy is becoming more popular as it a clean source of electricity. The design photovoltaic (PV) cells has therefore captivated experts worldwide. two key issues are the lack an excellent model to define solar and data regarding PV cells. This scenario even impacts module performance (panels). behavior described by current versus voltage. Considering these values, challenge entails solvi...
