This paper introduces a Shuffled Frog-Leaping Algorithm based method for the optimization of machining parameters for milling operations. An objective function based on maximum profit in milling operation has been used. The algorithm is compared with others techniques and outperforms the results reached by standard shuffled frogleaping algorithm, differential evolution, particle swarm optimizat...

A poor quality affects project makespan and its total costs negatively, but it can be recovered by repair works during construction. We construct a new non-linear programming model based on the classic multi-mode resource constrained project scheduling problem considering repair works. In order to obtain satisfactory quality without a high increase of project cost, the objective is to minimize ...

This paper studies wireless sensor networks node deployment problem and proposes intelligent single particle optimizer based wireless sensor networks adaptive coverage. According to the probability model measure characteristic of wireless sensor nodes, the method adaptively determines the optimal deployment of sensor nodes using intelligent single particle optimizer, achieving sensor node based...

The COVID-19 pandemic and competitiveness pressure the pharmaceutical companies to acquire systems designed be as reliable possible. present paper aims optimize design of a plant through reliability allocation heterogeneous components under constraints. problem is solved by resorting three nature-inspired algorithms artificial intelligence (AI): grey wolf optimizer (GWO), shuffled frog-leaping ...
