task assignment problem (tap) involves assigning a number of tasks to a number of processors in distributed computing systems and its objective is to minimize the sum of the total execution and communication costs, subject to all of the resource constraints. tap is a combinatorial optimization problem and np-complete. this paper proposes a hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm for solving tap in a h...

in this study, we introduce and study a concept of distributed fuzzymodeling. fuzzy modeling encountered so far is predominantly of a centralizednature by being focused on the use of a single data set. in contrast to this style ofmodeling, the proposed paradigm of distributed and collaborative modeling isconcerned with distributed models which are constructed in a highly collaborativefashion. i...

in the computational fluid dynamics (cfd) modeling of gas-solids two phase flow, the effect of boundary conditions play an important role in predicting the hydrodynamic characteristics of fluidized beds. in this work, the hydrodynamics of conical fluidized bed containing dried tio2 nano-agglomerates were studied both experimentally and computationally. the pressure drop was obtained by pressure...
