--------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT----------------------------------------------------------To enhance the optimization ability of classical shuffled frog leaping algorithm, a quantum inspired shuffled frog leaping algorithm with adaptive grouping is proposed. In this work, the frog swarms are adaptive grouped according to the average value of the objective functio...

This paper proposes a combination of non-local spatial information and quantum-inspired shuffled frog leaping algorithm to detect underwater objects in sonar images. Specifically, for the first time, the problem of inappropriate filtering degree parameter which commonly occurs in non-local spatial information and seriously affects the denoising performance in sonar images, was solved with the m...

This paper presents a Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm to seek the optimal number and location of FACTS devices in a power system. Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) has great flexibility that can control the active and reactive power flow and bus voltages, simultaneously. Decoupled model of the UPFC is applied to maximize the system loadability subject to the transmission line capacity limits...

Infrastructure assessment and renewal have been in the center of attention worldwide. While the infrastructure is the foundation for economic growth, a large percentage of existing facilities are rapidly deteriorating due to age, outdated technology, and insufficient capacity for population growth. Prioritizing infrastructure facilities for repair purposes, the allocation of the limited funds, ...

Article history: Received: 14.5.2015. Received in revised form: 28.11.2015. Accepted: 1.12.2015. Tool travel and tool switch scheduling are two major issues in hole-making operations. It is necessary to find the optimal sequence of operations to reduce the total processing cost of hole-making operations. In this work therefore, an attempt is made to use both a recently developed particle swarm ...
