Community detection is becoming a highly demanded topic in social networking-based applications. It involves finding the maximum intraconnected and minimum inter-connected sub-graphs given networks. Many approaches have been developed for community’s less of them focused on dynamical aspect network. The decision community has to consider pattern changes network be smooth enough. This enable ope...

Water distribution networks (WDN) model optimization is an important part of smart water systems to achieve optimal strategies. WDN focuses on the nonlinearity discharge head loss equation, availability discrete properties pipe sizes, and conservation constraints. Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) have been proposed successfully applied in field design optimization. Previous studi...

Network coding is a new communication technique that generalizes routing, where, instead of simply forwarding the packets they receive, intermediate nodes are allowed to recombine (code) together some of the data packets received from different incoming links if necessary. By doing so, the maximum information flow in a network can always be achieved. However, performing coding operations (i.e. ...

In dynamic service-oriented environment, service monitoring could provide reliability improvement to service composition as well as cost increase. To reduce the overall cost brought by monitoring, existing literatures proposed to decrease the number of monitors through monitoring the most reliability-sensitive services. However, the optimal monitoring rate for those monitors was not taken into ...

Due to limited financial resources and high costs of infrastructure projects, project stakeholders seek gain maximum profits with optimal resource utilization as well cost time minimization. Therefore, this study presents a multi-mode resource-constrained scheduling model considering the uncertain parameters together goals maximizing net present value minimizing usage fluctuation. Also, assumpt...

The uncertainty of transportation duration between nodes is an inherent characteristic and should be concerned in the routing optimization multimodal network to guarantee reliability delivery time. interval number used deal with duration, multi-objective robust model established which covers cost. To solve combinatorial problem this study, Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II) de...

Beneficial Management Practices (BMPs) are important measures for reducing agricultural non-point source (NPS) pollution. However, selection of BMPs for placement in a watershed requires optimizing available resources to maximize possible water quality benefits. Due to its iterative nature, the optimization typically takes a long time to achieve the BMP trade-off results which is not desirable ...
