This paper addresses control design in networked control system by considering stochastic packet dropouts in the forward path of the control loop. The packet dropouts are modelled by mutually independent stochastic variables satisfying Bernoulli binary distribution. A sliding mode controller is utilized to overcome the adverse influences of stochastic packet dropouts in networked control system...

Artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm, one of the swarm intelligence algorithms, has been proposed for continuous optimization, inspired intelligent behaviors of real honey bee colony. For the optimization problems having binary structured solution space, the basic ABC algorithm should be modified because its basic version is proposed for solving continuous optimization problems. In this study,...

cellular manufacturing system (cms) is highly important in modern manufacturing methods. given the ever increasing market competition in terms of time and cost of manufacturing, we need models to decrease the cost and time of manufacturing. in this study, cms is considered in condition of dynamic demand in each period. the model is developed for facing dynamic demand that increases the cost of ...

A novel version of Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms for solving continuous space problems is presented in this paper. The basic structure and concepts of the originally reported ACO are preserved and adaptation of the algorithm to the case of continuous space is implemented within the general framework. The stigmergic communication is simulated through considering certain direction vect...

we study the problem of reconstructing binary images from four projections data in a fuzzy environment. given the uncertainly projections,w e want to find a binary image that respects as best as possible these projections. we provide an iterative algorithm based on fuzzy integer programming and linear membership functions.

Synthesis of heat exchanger networks (HENs) is inherently a mixed integer and nonlinear programming (MINLP) problem. Solving such problems leads to difficulties <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #00...

the jamor purpose of the present research is to predict the total stock market index of tehran stock exchange, using a combined method of wavelet transforms, fuzzy genetics, and neural network in order to predict the active participations of finance market as well as macro decision makers.to do so, first the prediction was made by neural network, then a series of price index was decomposed by w...
