We describe a genetic algorithm based heuristic for distributed database (DDB) design, Relation Clustering (RC). Relations in a database are allocated to nodes of a distributed database such that the total cost of executing a set of queries (each with a given frequency) over a time period is minimized. The experimental results are compared with another earlier GA based algorithm which shows abo...

Massive popularity of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) may bring considerable opportunities and challenges to the power grid. The scenario is highly dependent on whether PEVs can be effectively managed. Dynamic economic dispatch with (DED PEVs) determines optimal level online units PEVs, minimize fuel cost grid fluctuations. Considering valve-point effects transmission losses a complex constrai...

A proposed real coded genetic algorithm based radial basis function neural network classifier is employed to perform effective classification of healthy and cancer affected lung images. Real Coded Genetic Algorithm (RCGA) is proposed to overcome the Hamming Cliff problem encountered with the Binary Coded Genetic Algorithm (BCGA). Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) classifier is chosen...

In project practice, the search for optimal solutions is based on traditional process of trial and error, which consumes much time does not guarantee that found are problem. Many studies have been developed in recent years with aim solving problems various fields structural engineering aid intelligent algorithms; however, when it comes to optimization designs, approaches considered by authors i...

s: This paper presents a novel approach to improve the performance of genetic algorithms called genetic algorithms with real-coded binary representation (GARB). The proposed algorithm is capable of maintaining the population diversity during the whole run which protects it from premature convergence. This is achieved by using a special encoding scheme with a high redundancy, which is supported ...
