Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Elite Pool-Based Big Bang-Big Crunch Metaheuristic for Data ClusteringIbrahim Al-Marashdeh, Ghaith M. Jaradat, Masri Ayob et al.This paper delves into the capacity of enhanced Big Bang-Big Crunch (EBB-BC) metaheuristic to handle data clustering problems. BB-BC is a product of an evolution theory of the universe in physics and astronomy. Two main phases of BB-BC are big bang and big crunch. The big bang phase involves a creation of a population of random initial solutions, while in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 12 · 19 Jun 2018 · 7,879 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrating a Repairing-based Genetic Algorithm-Neighborhood Search Structure in Solving the Course Timetabling ProblemChong-Keat Teoh, Habibollah Haron, Antoni Wibowo, Mohd. Salihin NgadimanThe course timetabling problem is not a trivial task as it is an NP-hard and NP-complete problem and many solutions have been proposed due to its high complexity search landscape. In essence, the nature of the course timetabling problem is to assign a lecturer-course entity to existing teaching venue and timeslot in an academic institution. In this article, the authors … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 10 · 15 Dec 2016 · 7,102 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Influence of Local Wisdom on the Actualisation of Educative, Scientific and Religious Behaviour on anAcademic Environment in a UniversityEdi Suryadi, KusnendiThis paper examines the influence of local wisdom on academic environment in an Institution of higher education. The Sundanese values have been used as a case in point to examine how culture, scientific and religious values can influence educationwithin an academic society.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVariable Neighborhood Simplex Search Methods for Global Optimization ModelsPongchanun LuangpaiboonProblem statement: Many optimization problems of practical interest are encountered in various fields of chemical, engineering and management sciences. They are computationally intractable. Therefore, a practical algorithm for solving such problems is to employ approximation algorithms that can find nearly optimums within a reasonable amount of computational time. Approach: In this study the hybrid methods combining the Variable Neighborhood Search … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 15 Feb 2012 · 6,510 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Cooperative Algorithm Based on PSO and K-Means for Data ClusteringMehdi Neshat, Shima Farshchian Yazdi, Daneyal Yazdani, Mehdi SargolzaeiProblem statement: Data clustering has been applied in multiple fields such as machine learning, data mining, wireless sensor networks and pattern recognition. One of the most famous clustering approaches is K-means which effectively has been used in many clustering problems, but this algorithm has some drawbacks such as local optimal convergence and sensitivity to initial points. Approach: Particle Swarm Optimization … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 19 Nov 2011 · 7,967 accessesView PDF Cite
