In many practical engineering design problems, the form of objective function is not given explicitly in terms of design variables. Given the value of design variables, under this ...
We show how a random mutation hill climber that does multilevel selection utilizes transposition to escape local optima on the discrete Hierarchical-If-And-Only-If (HIFF) problem....
This paper describes an innovative framework, iFAOSimo, which integrates optimization, simulation and GIS (geographic information system) techniques to handle complex spatial faci...
This paper addresses the optimal rate allocation problem in overlay content distribution for efficient utilization of limited bandwidths. We systematically present a series of opti...
The particle swarm optimization algorithm was showed to converge rapidly during the initial stages of a global search, but around global optimum, the search process will become ve...
