1. Optimization of location and forces of friction dampers
Abstract Damper optimization is a new area which has been investigated in recent years. There are various methods employed in optimization, among which are highlighted the classic and the most recent that are functioning with reliability, efficiency and speed for optimum results. This paper proposes a method for simultaneous optimization of placement and for

2. AN OPTIMIZATION MODEL TO MINIMIZE THE EXPECTED END-TO-END TRANSMISSION TIME IN WIRELESS MESH NETWORKS
ABSTRACT Time metrics are extremely important to evaluate the transmission performance on Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs), whose main characteristic is to use multihop technology to extend the network coverage area. One of such metrics is WCETT (Weighted Cumulative Expected Transmission Time), in which transmission times per hop are weighted for both proactive

3. Analysis of Linear Antenna Array for minimum Side Lobe Level, Half Power Beamwidth, and Nulls control using PSO
Abstract This paper presents the optimization performance of non-uniform linear antenna array with optimized inter-element spacing and excitation amplitude using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The aim of the proposed algorithm is to obtain the optimum values for inter-element spacing and excitation amplitude for a linear antenna array in a given radiatio

4. PACKING CIRCLES WITHIN CIRCULAR CONTAINERS: A NEW HEURISTIC ALGORITHM FOR THE BALANCE CONSTRAINTS CASE
ABSTRACT In this work we propose a heuristic algorithm for the layout optimization for disks installed in a rotating circular container. This is a unequal circle packing problem with additional balance constraints. It proved to be an NP-hard problem, which justifies heuristics methods for its resolution in larger instances. The main feature of our heuristic

5. A SURVEY ON HEURISTICS FOR THE TWO-DIMENSIONAL RECTANGULAR STRIP PACKING PROBLEM
ABSTRACT Two-dimensional rectangular strip packing problems belong to the broader class of Cutting and Packing (C&P) problems, in which small items are required to be cut from or packed on a larger object, so that the waste (unused regions of the large object) is minimized. C&P problems differ from other combinatorial optimization problems by the intrinsic g

6. Enhanced Biogeography-based Optimization: A New Method for Size and Shape Optimization of Truss Structures with Natural Frequency Constraints
Abstract The current study presents an enhanced biogeography-based optimization (EBBO) algorithm for size and shape optimization of truss structures with natural frequency constraints. The BBO algorithm is one of the recently developed meta-heuristic algorithms inspired by the mathematical models in biogeography science and is based on the migration behavior

7. A Heuristic Algorithm Based on Line-up Competition and Generalized Pattern Search for Solving Integer and Mixed Integer Non-linear Optimization Problems
Abstract The global optimization of integer and mixed integer non-linear problems has a lot of applications in engineering. In this paper a heuristic algorithm is developed using line-up competition and generalized pattern search to solve integer and mixed integer non-linear optimization problems subjected to various linear or nonlinear constraints. Due to i

8. QUANTUM INSPIRED PARTICLE SWARM COMBINED WITH LIN-KERNIGHAN-HELSGAUN METHOD TO THE TRAVELING SALESMAN PROBLEM
ABSTRACT The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is one of the most well-known and studied problems of Operations Research field, more specifically, in the Combinatorial Optimization field. As the TSP is a NP (Non-Deterministic Polynomial time)-hard problem, there are several heuristic methods which have been proposed for the past decades in the attempt to solv

9. DEVELOPMENT OF A HYBRID FUZZY GENETIC ALGORITHM MODEL FOR SOLVING TRANSPORTATION SCHEDULING PROBLEM
ABSTRACT There has been an increasing public demand for passenger rail service in the recent times leading to a strong focus on the need for effective and efficient use of resources and managing the increasing passenger requirements, service reliability and variability by the railway management. Whilst shortening the passengers’ waiting and travelling time

10. METAHEURISTICS EVALUATION: A PROPOSAL FOR A MULTICRITERIA METHODOLOGY
ABSTRACT In this work we propose a multicriteria evaluation scheme for heuristic algorithms based on the classic Condorcet ranking technique. Weights are associated to the ranking of an algorithm among a set being object of comparison. We used five criteria and a function on the set of natural numbers to create a ranking. The discussed comparison involves th

11. PROJECT SCHEDULING OPTIMIZATION IN ELECTRICAL POWER UTILITIES
The problem of choosing from a set of projects which ones should be executed and whenthey should start, depending on several restrictions involving project costs, risks, limited resources, dependencies among projects, and aiming at different, even conflicting, goals is known as the project portfolio selection (PPS) problem. We study a particular version of t

12. AN EXPERIMENTAL COMPARISON OF BIASED AND UNBIASED RANDOM-KEY GENETIC ALGORITHMS
Random key genetic algorithms are heuristic methods for solving combinatorial optimization problems. They represent solutions as vectors of randomly generated real numbers, the so-called random keys. A deterministic algorithm, called a decoder, takes as input a vector of random keys and associates with it a feasible solution of the combinatorial optimization
