Water distribution network (WDN) optimization has received special attention from various technicians and researchers, mainly due to its high costs of implementation, operation and maintenance.

Abstract: The Tardy/Lost (TL) penalties scheduling is a discrete optimization problem. TL scheduling problem is an NP-hard problem. As a result, proposing an optimization algorithm to handle this ...

We are providing an unedited version of this manuscript to give early access to its findings. Before final publication, the manuscript will undergo further editing. Please note there may be errors ...

Abstract: A discrete particle swarm optimization algorithm with adaptive inertia weight (DPSO-AIW) is proposed to solve the multiobjective Flexible Job-shop Scheduling Problem. The algorithm uses a ...

Effective resource allocation in cloud computing continues a critical challenge due to dynamic loads, stringent service-level expectations, and the need to balance execution time, energy, and cost.

The integration of multi-modal learning with large-scale models has become a transformative force in the fields of artificial intelligence and neurorobotics. Human perception naturally relies on the ...

In this paper a new hybrid glowworm swarm algorithm (SAGSO) for solving structural optimization problems is presented. The structure proposed to be optimized here is a simply-supported concrete I-beam ...

United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 7 is about ensuring access to clean and affordable energy, which is a key factor in the development of society. The power generation sector majorly consists ...
