— In this paper, swarm and evolutionary algorithms have been applied for the design of digital filters. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) and differential evolution particle swar...
We present here a co-operative multithread metaheuristic. Each thread employs a (possibly) different optimization strategy and they are controlled by a Coordinator process. A rel...
Thermal micro-actuators are a promising solution to the need for large-displacement, gentle handling force, low-power MEMS actuators. Potential applications of these devices are mi...
