Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReactive Power Optimization Using Quantum Particle Swarm OptimizationK. S. Chandragupta Mauryan, K. Thanushkodi, A. SakthisuganyaProblem statement: The problem of controlling a power system is not an easy task; it is subjected to various constraints. There are at risks of voltage instability problems due to highly stressed operating conditions caused by increased load demand and other constraints in the power system network. Approach: This study presents the implementation of Quantum Particle Swarm Optimization (QPSO) in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 24 Aug 2012 · 6,837 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis of Robust Dynamic Controller, Model Predictive Control BasedMohamed Adel Sellami, Elyes Maherzi, Mongi BesbesProblem statement: More advanced control techniques have been developed in recent decades following the great progress of calculations means. Without considering the constraints on system variables, the response of controlled system moves away from the desired response. Hence the control strategy must provide the ability to integrate these constraints in the design phase of the controller. Approach: This study presents … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 16 Mar 2012 · 7,267 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnt Colony Optimization for Capacitated Vehicle Routing ProblemW. F. Tan, L. S. Lee, Z. A. Majid, H. V. SeowProblem statement: The Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) is a well-known combinatorial optimization problem which is concerned with the distribution of goods between the depot and customers. It is of economic importance to businesses as approximately 10-20% of the final cost of the goods is contributed by the transportation process. Approach: This problem was tackled using an Ant Colony Optimization … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 15 Mar 2012 · 10,043 accessesView PDFCite
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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Evolutionary Algorithmic Approach based Optimal Web Service Selection for Composition with Quality of ServiceD. Palanikkumar, G. KousalyaProblem statement: Web service is a technology that provides flexibility and interconnection between different distributed applications over the Internet and intranets. When a client request cannot be satisfied by any individual service, existing web services can be combined into a composite web service. When there are a large number of Web services available, it is not easy to find an … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 10 Feb 2012 · 6,762 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolving the Periodic Maintenance Scheduling Problem via Genetic Algorithm to Balance Workforce Levels and Maintenance CostMohamed Ali Abdel-Fattah MansourProblem statement: In this article we address the multi-objective Periodic Maintenance Scheduling Problem (PMSP) of scheduling a set of cyclic maintenance operations for a given set of machines through a specified planning period to minimize the total variance of workforce levels measured in man-hours and maintenance costs with equal weights. Approach: The article proposed a mixed integer non-linear math programming … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 12 Jul 2011 · 8,317 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Clustering Time by a Group of Autonomous Robots Making Use of an Exclusive Multi-MarkingMohamed Rida Abdessemed, Kamel Khoualdi, Azeddine BilamiProblem statement: For solving complex issues, the current tendency goes towards the swarms behaviors, realized on a basis of collective interactions, which results from a cooperative work favoring exchanges between individuals of a same group at microscopic level and allowing the emergence of complex collective behaviors at macroscopic level. Many models were inspired by these attitudes to find simple rules, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 9 Nov 2010 · 6,890 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Separable Logarithmic Algorithm for Non-Linear OptimizationAbbas Y. Al-Bayati, Hawraz N. JabbarProblem statement: The idea of this study stemmed from the fact that most of the currently used optimization algorithms use a local quadratic representation of the objective function. It also arisen from the fact that the objective function may not be represented adequately by quadratic functions and the global minimizer may be obtained for objective functions. So, in this study, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 6,872 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTwo Optimization Methods to Determine the Rate Constants of a Complex Chemical Reaction Using FORTRAN and MATLABAbdel-Latif Aboul Seoud, Lamiaa A.M. AbdallahProblem statement: For chemical reactions, the determination of the rate constants is both very difficult and a time consuming process. The aim of this research was to develop computer programs for determining the rate constants for the general form of any complex reaction at a certain temperature. The development of such program can be very helpful in the control of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 8,042 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulated Annealing with Deterministic DecisionsTaisir EldosProblem statement: Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithms have been used in solving a wide range of discrete optimization problems for many years, with well know drawbacks like the computational time and difficulties related to the parameters settings.
