These days randomized-based population optimization algorithms are in wide use in different branches of science such as bioinformatics, chemical physics andpower engineering. An important group of these algorithms is inspired by physical processes or entities’ behavior. A new approach of applying optimization-based social relationships among the members of a community is investigated in this pa...

Meta-heuristic algorithms are applied in optimization problems in a variety of fields, including engineering, economics, and computer science. In this paper, seven population-based meta-heuristic algorithms are employed for size and geometry optimization of truss structures. These algorithms consist of the Artificial Bee Colony algorithm, Cyclical Parthenogenesis Algorithm, Cuckoo Search algori...

There are many algorithms for optimizing the search engine results, ranking takes place according to one or more parameters such as; Backward Links, Forward Links, Content, click through rate and etc. The quality and performance of these algorithms depend on the listed parameters. The ranking is one of the most important components of the search engine that represents the degree of the vitality...

abstract- the high production of orange fruit in iran calls for quality sorting of this product as a requirement for entering global markets. this study was devoted to the development of an automatic fruit sorter based on size. the hardware consisted of two units. an image acquisition apparatus equipped with a camera, a robotic arm and controller circuits. the second unit consisted of a robotic...

In this paper we introduce two innovative image and video watermarking algorithms. The paper’s main emphasis is on the use of chaotic maps to boost the algorithms’ security and resistance against attacks. By encrypting the watermark information in a one dimensional chaotic map, we make the extraction of watermark for potential attackers very hard. In another approach, we select embedding po...

several techniques exist to select and materialize a proper set of data in a suitable structure that manage the queries submitted to the online analytical processing systems. these techniques are called view management techniques, which consist of three research areas: 1) view selection to materialize, 2) query processing and rewriting using the materialized views, and 3) maintaining materializ...

in this paper, the ultraspherical operational matrices of derivatives are constructed. based on these operational matrices, two numerical algorithms are presented and analyzed for obtaining new approximate spectral solutions of a class of linear and nonlinear lane-emden type singular initial value problems. the basic idea behind the suggested algorithms is basically built on transforming the eq...

abstract this paper presents a multiobjective power control algorithm that updates the transmitted power based on local information. the proposed algorithm is expanded by using multiobjective optimization schemes. the objectives to be optimized in this paper are determined so as to reduce the sinr fluctuations as well as maintaining the sinr to an acceptable level with minimizing an average tra...

Nowadays, faults and failures are increasing especially in complex systems such as Network-on-Chip (NoC) based Systems-on-a-Chip due to the increasing susceptibility and decreasing feature sizes. On the other hand, fault-tolerant routing algorithms have an evident effect on tolerating permanent faults and improving the reliability of a Network-on-Chip based system. This paper presents reliabili...
