Image segmentation is defined as the process of dividing an image into disjoint homogenous regions and it could be regarded as the fundamental step in various image processing applications. In this paper, a novel multilevel thresholding segmentation method is proposed for grouping the pixels of remote sensing (RS) images into different homogenous regions. In this way, Hybrid Genetic Algorithm-P...

In this paper, a new method for dynamic balancing of double four-bar crank slider mechanism by metaheuristic-based optimization algorithms is proposed. For this purpose, a proper objective function which is necessary for balancing of this mechanism and corresponding constraints has been obtained by dynamic modeling of the mechanism. Then PSO, ABC, BGA and HGAPSO algorithms have been applied for...

The computational drawbacks of existing numerical methods have forced researchers to rely on heuristic algorithms. Heuristic methods are powerful in obtaining the solution of optimization problems. Although these methods are approximate methods (i.e. their solutions are good, but probably not optimal), they do not require the derivatives of the objective function and constraints. Also, the heur...

Efficient resource management through the virtual machine placement (VMP) is a great concern in data centers. The Biobjective VPM is a representation of multi-objective combinatorial optimization problem. Energy or cost minimization of cloud data center is highly dependent upon the VMP policy. Allocating the set of virtual machines (VMs) to the set of suitable physical machines (PMs), while con...

We consider the Multi-Area Economic Dispatch problem (MAEDP) in deregulated power system environment for practical multi-area cases with tie line constraints. Our objective is to generate allocation to the power generators in such a manner that the total fuel cost is minimized while all operating constraints are satisfied. This problem is NP-hard. In this paper, we propose Hybrid Particle Swarm...

This paper presents an algorithm for solving the multi-objective reactive power dispatch problem in a power system. Modal analysis of the system is used for static voltage stability assessment. Loss minimization and maximization of voltage stability margin are taken as the objectives. Generator terminal voltages, reactive power generation of the capacitor banks and tap changing transformer sett...
