Maritime terminals of pure transhipment are emerging logistic realities in long-distance containerized trade. Here, complex activities of resource allocation and scheduling should...
The paper deals with a structural optimization of composite materials with periodic microstructures invoking an elasto-plasticity model with the von Mises yield criterion. Closest...
First, the covariance matrix adaptation (CMA) with rankone update is introduced into the (1+1)-evolution strategy. An improved implementation of the 1/5-th success rule is propose...
This paper presents an adaptation of a novel algorithm based on the foraging behavior of honey bees to solve constrained numerical optimization problems. The modifications focus on...
—Inspired by the contours in topography, this paper proposes a contour method for the population-based stochastic algorithms to solve the problems with continuous variables. Rely...
