Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLocation-Aware Energy-Efficient Workload Allocation in Geo Distributed Cloud EnvironmentSoha Rawas, Ahmed ZekriThe proliferation of cloud computing relied on the virtualization of the compute and storage resources and provisioning them dynamically according to users’ needs on a pay-per-use model. Massive cloud providers have geo-distributed cloud data centers to ensure service reliability, availability and satisfy user’s need. Therefore, cloud management systems are necessary to increase the profit of cloud providers and to improve … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 13 Mar 2018 · 8,034 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolving School Bus Routing Problem by Intelligent Water Drops AlgorithmAmeera Saleh Jaradat, Mohammed Qassim ShatnawiThe School Bus Routing Problem (SBRP) is an essential subject in the development of transportation. Solving the problem will have a great impact on the transportation systems by improving the quality of the provided service and reducing the operations costs. SBRP tries to find an efficient school buses plan where each bus takes up students from different bus stops and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 11 Jan 2018 · 8,587 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Constraint-Handling Technique for Genetic Algorithms using a Violation FactorAdam Chehouri, Rafic Younes, Jean Perron, Adrian IlincaOver the years, several meta-heuristic algorithms were proposed and are now emerging as common methods for constrained optimization problems. Among them, genetic algorithms (GA’s) shine as popular evolutionary algorithms (EA’s) in engineering optimization. Most engineering design problems are difficult to resolve with conventional optimization algorithms because they are highly nonlinear and contain constraints. In order to handle these constraints, the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 7 · 31 Aug 2016 · 8,751 accessesView PDFCite
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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssisted 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 PDFCite
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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Scheduling Algorithm Based on Petri Nets and Simulated AnnealingRachida Hadiby Ghoul, Abdelhamid Benjelloul, Sihem Kechida, Hicham TebbikhThis study aims at presenting a hybrid Flexible Manufacturing System "HFMS" short-term scheduling problem. Based on the art state of general scheduling algorithms, we present the meta-heuristic, we have decided to apply for a given example of HFMS. That was the study of Simulated Annealing Algorithm SA. The HFMS model based on hierarchical Petri nets, was used to represent static … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 7,164 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Harmony Search to Vehicle RoutingZong Woo Geem, Kang Seok Lee, Yongjin ParkA phenomenon-inspired meta-heuristic algorithm, harmony search, imitating music improvisation process, is introduced and applied to vehicle routing problem, then compared with one of the popular evolutionary algorithms, genetic algorithm. The harmony search algorithm conceptualized a group of musicians together trying to search for better state of harmony. This algorithm was applied to a test traffic network composed of one bus … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2005 · 12,460 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordImproved Meta-Heuristic for Multi-Objective Integrated Procurement, Production and Distribution Problem of Supply Chain Network Under Fuzziness UncertaintiesKaoutar Douaioui, Mouhsene Fri, Charif Mabrouki, El Alami SemmaIn this study, we devoted a design under uncertainty of a supply chain network composed of multiple suppliers, multiple plants, multiple distributors and multiple customers. The proposed model is a bi- objective mixed integer linear programming which consider several constraints and optimize the total costs including the procurement, production, storage and distribution costs as well as maximize on-time deliveries.
