Information Technology has rapidly developed in recent years and software systems can play a critical role the symmetry of technology. Regarding field testing, white-box unit-level testing constitutes backbone all other techniques, as be entirely implemented by considering source code each System Under Test (SUT). In mutants used; these are artificially generated faults seeded SUT that behave s...

In this study, a model for the evaluation of building's resilience and recovery time is proposed, new method developed optimal viscous damper placement targeted resilience. The features are as follows: 1) building components categorized into systems in view their functionality, 2) regarded function damage to human resources repairing components, 3) applicable structural design. This design uses...

A novel cooperative evolutionary system, i.e., CGPNN, for automatic design artificial neural networks (ANN’s) is presented where ANN’s structure and parameters are tuned simultaneously. The algorithms used in CGPNN combine genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) on the basis of a direct encoding scheme. In CGPNN, standard (real-coded) PSO is employed to training ANN’s free ...

This paper investigates the effectiveness of the genetic algorithm evolved neural network classifier and its application to the land cover classification of remotely sensed multispectral imagery. First, the key issues of the algorithm and the general procedures are described in detail. Our methodology adopts a real coded GA strategy and hybrid with a back propagation (BP) algorithm. The genetic...

multi-criteria shortest path problems (mspp) are called as np-hard. for mspps, a unique solution for optimizing all the criteria simultaneously will rarely exist in reality. algorithmic and approximation schemes are available to solve these problems; however, the complexity of these approaches often prohibits their implementation on real-world applications. this paper describes the development ...

Potato image segmentation is an important part of image-based potato defect detection. This paper presents a robust potato color image segmentation through a combination of a fuzzy rule based system, an image thresholding based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization and morphological operators. The proposed potato color image segmentation is robust against variation of background, distance and ...

pumps are among the early instruments invented by humans to be taken advantage of in the use of water utilities. design and operation problem of pumping stations is a type of mixed integer non linear programming, in which gradient based optimization methods are not efficient for solving complex problems of this type. in this regard, such evolutionary optimization algorithms as genetic algorithm...
