Biogeography-based optimization (BBO) is a new evolutionary algorithm based on the science of biogeography. We propose two extensions to BBO. First, we propose blended migration. ...
This paper deals with the problem of determining the optimal inspection strategy for a multi-stage production process using simulation optimization. An optimal inspection strategy...

In many real-life applications of optimal control problems with constraints in form of partial differential equations (PDEs), hyperbolic equations are involved which typically desc...
Abstract. Dynamic optimization using evolutionary algorithms is receiving increasing interests. However, typical test functions for comparing the performance of various dynamic opt...
This paper presents a simple, hybrid two phase global optimization algorithm called DE-PSO for solving global optimization problems. DE-PSO consists of alternating phases of Diffe...
