This paper presents an automated fuzziness-driven algorithm for image enhancement.A class of parametric indices of fuzziness is introduced, which serves as the optimization criter...
: New semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities use Front Opening Unified Pods (FOUPs) as a common unit of wafer transfer. Since the number of pods is limited due to high costs, a...
Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) are well-known optimization approaches to cope with non-linear, complex problems. These population-based algorithms, however, suffer from a general we...
