1 What are intelligent technologies Many practical problems, e.g., many engineering design problems, can be solved by known (routine) techniques. For many of these problems, these techniques have been incorporated into software packages, so the solution to these problems can be (largely) automated. However, there are still many other problems for which no routine techniques are known. For examp...

the objective of this research is geometrical optimization of half toroidal continuously variable transmission (cvt) in order to achieve high power transmission efficiency and low weight. after dynamic analysis of the system, the contact between the disk and the roller is modeled according to elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication principles. accordingly, a computer model is created with geometric, th...

optimization of reservoir parameters is an important issue in petroleum exploration and production. the ant colony optimization(aco) is a recent approach to solve discrete and continuous optimization problems. in this paper, the ant colony optimization is usedas an intelligent tool to estimate reservoir rock properties. the methodology is illustrated by using a case study on shear wave velocity...

Recently, various sophisticated strategies adapted to current network conditions have been proposed for channel allocation based on intelligent techniques such as evolutionary and genetic algorithms. These approaches constitute heuristic solutions to resource management problems in modern cellular systems. On the other hand, the ant colony optimization approach has been proposed for solving sev...

This paper presents an intelligent approach to identify parameters of single-phase induction motors. Because of the complication of space-phasor equations describing its dynamic behaviors, the parameters of single-phase induction motors could be roughly estimated via conventional tests based on the steady-state analysis. Therefore, they may cause inaccurate estimation. In this paper, some effic...

nowadays the position of the renewable energy is so important because of the environment pollution and the limitation of fossil fuels in the world. energy can be generated more and more by the renewable sources, but the fossil fuels are non-renewable. one of the most important renewable sources is the wind energy. the wind energy is an appropriate alternative source of fossil fuel. the replacem...

parameter estimation of the nonlinear muskingum model is a highly nonlinear optimization problem. although various techniques have been applied to optimize the coefficients of the nonlinear muskingum flood routing models, but an efficient method for this purpose in the calibration process is still lacking. the accuracy of artificial bee colony (abc) algorithm is investigated in this paper to op...
