nowadays network-on-chips is used instead of system-on-chips for better performance. this paper presents a new algorithm to find a shorter path, and shows that genetic algorithm is a potential technique for solving routing problem for mesh topology in on-chip-network.

The minimum crossing number problem is among the oldest and most fundamental problems arising in the area of automatic graph drawing. In this paper, eight population-based meta-heuristic algorithms are utilized to tackle the minimum crossing number problem for two special types of graphs, namely complete graphs and complete bipartite graphs. A 2-page book drawing representation is employed for ...

In this paper proposes a fuzzy multi-objective hybrid Genetic and Bee colony optimization algorithm(GA-BCO) to find the optimal restoration of loads of power distribution network under fault.Restoration of distribution systems is a complex combinatorial optimization problem that should beefficiently restored in reasonable time. To improve the efficiency of restoration and facilitate theactivity...

in this paper by combining caching and replication techniques proposed a hybrid heuristic method based on the greedy algorithm to use the benefit of each other techniques. the algorithm in each interaction compares all the contents and one that made the best benefit value is selected for replication. the hybrid approach tested in a simulation environment and the results show that hybrid algorit...

in this paper, an adaptive meshless method of line is applied to distribute the nodes in the spatial domain. in many cases in meshless methods, it is also necessary for the chosen nodes to have certain smoothness properties. the set of nodes is also required to satisfy certain constraints. in this paper, one of these constraints is investigated. the aim of this manuscript is the implementation ...

periodic vehicle routing problem focuses on establishing a plan of visits to clients over a given time horizon so as to satisfy some service level while optimizing the routes used in each time period. this paper presents a new effective heuristic algorithm based on data mining tools for periodic vehicle routing problem (pvrp). the related results of proposed algorithm are compared with the resu...

This paper proposes the exchange market algorithm (EMA) to solve the combined economic and emission dispatch (CEED) problems in thermal power plants. The EMA is a new, robust and efficient algorithm to exploit the global optimum point in optimization problems. Existence of two seeking operators in EMA provides a high ability in exploiting global optimum point. In order to show the capabilities ...

there are many indices for measuring property rights (pr) security. they may be classified into two groups: subjective proxies and objective proxies. most of the proxies are subjective. one contribution of this paper is introducing a new approach for measuring government expenditures devoted to pr protection. calculating physical capital within the introduced new approach is another contributio...

designing of a pid controller is a very common method for industrial process control and due to its very simple and efficient function; it is used in a wide variety of industrial applications. pid controller to reduce the steady state error and dynamic response of the system is used. pid controller design is an inevitable problem in setting the coefficients need to try a lot of trial and error,...
