In this paper a new approach is proposed for the adaptation of the simulated annealing search in the field of the Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO). This new approach is called Multi-Case Multi-Objective Simulated Annealing (MC-MOSA). It uses some basics of a well-known recent Multi-Objective Simulated Annealing proposed by Ulungu et al., which is referred in the literature as U-MOSA. However,...

To investigate the varietal difference in sulfur use efficiency (SUE) and drought stress tolerance, Brassica napus 'Mosa' and 'Saturnin' were exposed to polyethylene glycol (PEG)-induced drought stress for 72 h. Direct quantification of S uptake, de novo synthesis of amino acids and proteins was performed by tracing (34)S. The responses of photosynthetic activity in relation to SUE were also ex...

Simulated annealing is a metaheuristic that balances exploration and exploitation to solve global optimization problems. However, deal with multi- many-objective problems, this balance needs be improved due diverse factors such as the number of objectives. To issue, work proposes MOSA/D, hybrid framework for multi-objective simulated based on decomposition evolutionary perturbation functions. A...

PURPOSE To alleviate the intrinsic limitation of current time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (TOF-MRA) techniques, which are insensitive to in-plane blood flow due to the flow saturation effect. MATERIALS AND METHODS A multi-oblique-stack acquisition (MOSA) technique was proposed in this study to tackle this TOF problem by acquiring two or more TOF image stacks bearing different ori...

The layout of facilities in a logistics scenario involves not only the working responsible for processing materials but also transport lines transporting materials. traditional facility methods do take into account transportation nor calculate material handling cost by Manhattan distance, thus failing to fulfill actual requirements industrial scenarios. In this paper, algorithm framework MOSA-F...

The aim of this study is to propose simple and reliable techniques to assess the condition of metal oxide arrester based on the dielectric response techniques. A number of modern electrical diagnostics for Metal Oxide Surge Arrester (MOSA) are discussed in this paper. The techniques included return voltage, decay voltage and polarisation/depolarisation current measurement. The single and multip...

This research explores the use of the modular open systems approach (MOSA) as a method for implementing an evolutionary acquisition strategy as well as the implications of using such an approach on the contracting process. A background on evolutionary acquisition is provided highlighting the benefit of rapid development and production of weapon systems incrementally, with each increment providi...

The problem of scheduling in permutation flowshops has been extensively investigated by many researchers. Recently, attempts are being made to consider more than one objective simultaneously and develop algorithms to obtain a set of Pareto-optimal solutions. Varadharajan et al. (2005) presented a multi-objective simulated-annealing algorithm (MOSA) for the problem of permutation-flowshop schedu...

In this paper, we propose a multi-criteria machine-schedules decision making method that can be applied to a production environment involving several unrelated parallel machines and we will focus on three objectives: minimizing makespan, total flow time, and total number of tardy jobs. The decision making method consists of three phases. In the first phase, a mathematical model of a single mach...

Accurate modeling and parameters identification of Metal Oxide Surge Arrester (MOSA) are very important for arrester allocation, systems reliability and insulation coordination studies. Several models with acceptable accuracy have been proposed to describe this behavior. It should be mentioned that the estimation of nonlinear elements of MOSAs is very important for all models. In this paper, a ...
