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 abstractTraveling Salesman Approach for Solving Petrol Distribution Using Simulated AnnealingZuhaimy Ismail, Wan Rohaizad Wan IbrahimThis research presents an attempt to solve a logistic company's problem of delivering petrol to petrol station in the state of Johor. This delivery system is formulated as a travelling salesman problem (TSP). TSP involves finding an optimal route for visiting stations and returning to point of origin, where the inter-station distance is symmetric and known. This real world application … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,194 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 accessIn the abstractSolving Multi-Objective Master Production Scheduling Model of Kalak Refinery System Using Hybrid Evolutionary Imperialist Competitive AlgorithmShereen Saleem Sadiq, Adnan Mohsin Abdulazeez, Habibollah HaronThe improvement of operational planning in the field of oil refinery management is becoming increasingly essential and valid. The influential primary factor, among others, is the ever-changing economic climate. The industry must continually assess the potential impacts of variations in the final product demand, price fluctuations, crude oil compositions and even seek out immediate opportunities within the market. The Master … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 12 Feb 2020 · 7,827 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractCombinatorial Interaction Testing of Software Product Lines: A Mapping StudyMohd Zanes Sahid, Abu Bakar Md Sultan, Abdul Azim Abdul Ghani, Salmi BaharomSoftware Product Line (SPL) is a software engineering paradigm that is inspired by the concept of reusability of common features, formulated for different software product. Complete testing on entire SPL is known to be unfeasible, due to the very large number of possible products to be produced, configured using a subset or all possible features in the SPL. This paper … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 8 · 20 Oct 2016 · 8,480 accessesView PDFCite
