In a typical discrete manufacturing process, new type of reconfigurable production line is introduced, which aims to help small- and mid-size enterprises improve machine utilization reduce cost. order effectively handle the scheduling problem for system, an improved multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm based on Brownian motion (MOPSO-BM) proposed. Since existing MOPSO algorithm...

The Software Cost Estimation is very important task for completing the project successfully. The estimation in software development depends on various factors especially on cost and effort factors for which further AI (Artificial Intelligence) and Algorithmic models have been put into usage. This paper aims to discuss the methods for calculating the effort by using meta-heuristic algorithms for...

In multiobjective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO), the global-best is randomly selected for each population from a nondominated solution set. However, this Roulette wheel-based global selection ineffective convergence and diversity when problem has numerous decision variables or large number of candidates. Thus, study proposes cluster-based MOPSO (CMOPSO). CMOPSO, similarities between parti...

Vehicular Ad hoc NETworks (VANETs) are a major component recently used in the development of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs). VANETs have a highly dynamic and portioned network topology due to the constant and rapid movement of vehicles. Currently, clustering algorithms are widely used as the control schemes to make VANET topology less dynamic for Medium Access Control (MAC), routing ...

A major difficulty in the use of metaheuristics (i.e. evolutionary and particle swarm algorithms) to deal with multi-objective optimization problems is the choice of a convenient point at which to stop computation. Indeed, it is difficult to find the best compromise between the stopping criterion and the algorithm performance. This paper addresses this issue using the Non-dominated Sorting Gene...

The growing dominance in terms of industrial applications has helped polymer-based composite materials conquering new markets relentlessly. But the presence fibrous residuals and abrasive particles as reinforcement polymer matrix composites (PMCs) affects output quality characteristics (OQCs) microdrilling operations. OQC aims at reducing overcuts momentous material removal rate (MRR). In such ...

In this paper, an innovative method for designing the top load of a very low frequency (VLF) thirteen-tower umbrella antenna based on multiobjective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) is proposed. The design antenna’s mainly involves sag and position distribution cables. On basis analyzing influence cables’ radiation efficiency, MOPSO Pareto optimality used to optimize location catenaries. res...

In the quest to achieve home comfort with highest possible efficiency, there is an increasing interest in combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP) systems. These can be fuelled by natural gas potentially hydrogen enriched ultimately hydrogen. The optimised designs largely depend on energy dispatch algorithms that take into account aspects of economic environmental impacts as well system effic...
