Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnt Colony Optimization for Container Loading ProblemC. N. Yap, L. S. Lee, Z. A. Majid, H. V. SeowProblem statement: The Container Loading Problem (CLP) considers packing a subset of given rectangular boxes into a rectangular container of fixed dimensions in the most optimum way. This was very important in the logistics industries and warehousing problems, since the cost can be reduced by increasing the space utilization ratio. Approach: This problem was solved in a two-phased Ant Colony … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 20 Mar 2012 · 8,561 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEmbedding Malaysian House Red Ant Behavior into an Ant Colony SystemZ. A. Othman, H. M. Rais, A. R. HamdanProblem statement: Ant Colony System (ACS) is the most popular algorithm used to find a shortest path solution in Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). Several ACS versions have been proposed which aim to achieve an optimum solution by adjusting pheromone levels. However, it still has a room on an improvement. This research aims to improve the algorithm by embedding individual Malaysian … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,961 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptive Hybrid Mobile Agent Protocol for Wireless Multihop Internet AccessA. Velmurugan, R. RajaramInternet-based Mobile Ad Hoc Networking (MANET) is an emerging technology that supports self-organizing mobile networking infrastructures. This is expected to be of great use in commercial applications for the next generation Internet users. A number of technical challenges are faced today due to the heterogeneous, dynamic nature of this hybrid MANET. A new hybrid routing scheme AODV_ALMA is proposed, which … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,119 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Robust Recognition System for Pecan Weevil using Artificial Neural NetworksSaleh Mufleh Al-SaqerProblem statement: Pecan Weevil is a widely found pest among pecan trees and these pests are known to cause significant damage to the pecan trees resulting in enormous annual losses to pecan growers. Traditional identification techniques for pecan weevil include traps with pheromones to detect the infestation of these pests. However, these traditional methods require expensive labor hours to set-up … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 14 Jul 2012 · 6,831 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Reliable Identification System for Red Palm WeevilSaleh Mufleh Al-SaqerProblem statement: Red Palm Weevil (RPW) is a widely found pest among palm trees and is known to cause significant losses every year to palm growers. Existing identification techniques for RPW comprise of using traps with pheromones to detect these pests. However, these traditional methods are labor-intensive, expensive to implement and unreliable for early detection of RPW infestation. Early detection … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 18 Jun 2012 · 7,018 accessesView PDFCite
