Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSIMULATED ANNEALING APPROACH TO COST-BASED MULTI- QUALITY OF SERVICE JOB SCHEDULING IN CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIROMENTMonir Abdullah, Mohamed OthmanCloud computing environments facilitate applications by providing visualized resources that can be provisioned dynamically. The advent of cloud computing as a new model of service provisioning in distributed systems, encourages researchers to investigate its benefits and drawbacks in executing scientific applications such as workflows. One of the fundamental issues in this environment is related to task scheduling. Cloud task scheduling … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 18 Mar 2014 · 7,651 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeta Heuristic Algorithms for Vehicle Routing Problem with Stochastic DemandsGeetha Shanmugam, Poonthalir Ganesan, Dr. P.T. VanathiProblem statement: The shipment of goods from manufacturer to the consumer is a focal point of distribution logistics. In reality, the demand of consumers is not known a priori. This kind of distribution is dealt by Stochastic Vehicle Routing Problem (SVRP) which is a NP-hard problem. In this proposed work, VRP with stochastic demand is considered. A probability distribution is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 4 Apr 2011 · 8,021 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLoad Balancing of Distributed Systems Based on Multiple Ant Colonies OptimizationAl-Dahoud Ali, Mohamed A. Belal, Moh’d Belal Al-ZoubiProblem statement: Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) provides a meta-heuristic optimization tool and collective intelligence model to several applications such as routing and load balancing. A lot of work found in the literature on using ACO in load balancing. However, as far as our knowledge, there was no work relating load balancing in distributed systems with ACO. Approach: In this study, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,209 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordMetaheuristic Algorithms for Independent Task Scheduling in Symmetric and Asymmetric Cloud Computing EnvironmentNagwan M. Abdel Samee, Sara Sayed Ahmed, Rania Ahmed Abdel Azeem Abul SeoudCloud Computing (CC) is a recent technology in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) field. It provides an on-demand access to the shared pool of resources via virtualization. Large enterprises move toward CC due to its flexibility and scalability driven from its elastic pay-per-use model. To provide ensured efficient performance to users, tasks should be efficiently mapped to available resources. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 3 May 2019 · 7,649 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordNew Strategy to Optimize Lean Supply Chain Design by Meta-HeuristicThi Hong Dang Nguyen, Thien My DaoThis paper aims at presenting one novel quantitative strategy of optimizing the design of Lean supply chain using Meta-Heuristics. While classifying Lean Manufacturing tools in two categories, namely Functional and Tier Lean tools, we propose a new framework to design the Lean supply chain by implementing the former into a 5-echelon Fat supply chain. As the following step, we investigate … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 9 Mar 2017 · 7,948 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAssisted History Matching for Petroleum Reservoirs in the Social Computing EraMichel Cancelliere, Dario Viberti, Francesca VergaThe exploitation strategy of hydrocarbon reservoirs can be technically and economically optimized only if a reliable numerical model of the reservoir under investigation is available to predict the system response for different production scenarios. A numerical model can be reasonably trustworthy after calibration only, which means the model has at least proved its ability to reproduce the historical behavior of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 24 Jul 2013 · 7,083 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEnhanced Clustering Techniques for Hyper Network Planning using Minimum Spanning Trees and Ant-Colony AlgorithmLamiaa Fattouh IbrahimProblem statement: The process of network planning is divided into two sub steps. The first step is determining the location of the Multi Service Access Node (MSAN). The second step is the construction of subscriber network lines from MSAN to subscribers to satisfy optimization criteria and design constraints. Due to the complexity of this process artificial intelligence and clustering techniques … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 9 Mar 2011 · 6,813 accessesView PDF Cite
