In this paper, the investment portfolio is formed based on the data mining algorithm of CHAID on the basis of the risk status criteria. In the next step, the second investment portfolio is created based on the decision rules extracted by the DEA-BCC model. The final portfolio is created through a two-objective mathematical programming model based on the Imperialist Competitive algorithm.

ABSTRACT: Decentralized load frequency controller (LFC) for multiarea power system using the state feedback controller based on Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) is developed and studied in this paper.In this method, an objective cost function is used to design the gains of the state feedback matrix. The proposed cost function decrease the frequency deviation and power flow variations bet...

Cloud computing is being welcomed as a new basis to manage and provide services on the internet. One of the reasons for increased efficiency of this environment is the appropriate structure of the tasks scheduler. Since the tasks scheduling in the cloud computing environment and distributed systems is an NP-hard problem, in most cases to optimize the scheduling issues, the meta-heuristic method...

The quality of manufactured products is characterized by many controllable quality factors. These factors should be optimized to reach high quality products. In this paper we try to find the controllable factor’s levels with minimum deviation from their target and with a least variation. To solve such problems a simple aggregation function is used to aggregate the multiple response functions fo...

Cloud computing has become a universal trend now. So, for users, the reliability is an effective factor to use this technology. In addition, users prefer to implement and get their work done quickly. This paper takes into account these two parameters for resource allocation due to their importance In this method, the Imperialist Competitive algorithm with the addition of a cross layer of cloud ...
