Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOptimal Network Design for Efficient Energy Utilization in Wireless Sensor NetworksChutima Prommak, Sujitra ModhirunProblem statement: This research presents a study of the optimal network design for efficient energy utilization in continuous data-gathering Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). We first examine the problem of minimizing the network cost through the minimum number of relay-station installation. Then we further investigate the problem of minimizing the energy consumption of the sensor nodes. Approach: We model the network … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 3 Nov 2011 · 7,352 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Genetic Algorithm for Scheduling n Jobs on a Single Machine with a Stochastic Controllable Processing, Tooling Cost and Earliness-Tardiness PenaltiesMohamed Ali Abdel-Fattah MansourProblem statement: In this research, we addressed the problem of minimizing the earliness-tardiness penalties and manufacturing costs of a single machine with a stochastic controllable processing and tooling cost. Approach: We developed a mathematical non-linear integer programming model and its linearised version to find the optimal solution. We introduced a new genome representation in single machine scheduling literature that evolved … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 18 Aug 2011 · 7,591 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSolving 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 · 8,322 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMeta Heuristic Algorithms for Vehicle Routing Problem with Stochastic DemandsGeetha Shanmugam, Poonthalir Ganesan, Dr. P.T. VanathiProblem statement: The shipment of goods from manufacturer to the consumer is a focal point of distribution logistics. In reality, the demand of consumers is not known a priori. This kind of distribution is dealt by Stochastic Vehicle Routing Problem (SVRP) which is a NP-hard problem. In this proposed work, VRP with stochastic demand is considered. A probability distribution is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 4 Apr 2011 · 8,026 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsObject Oriented Modeling of Thermostatically Controlled Devices for Cold Load Pick-upAlexandre de Assis Mota, Lia Toledo Moreira Mota, Claudia Cotrim PezzutoProblem statement: During service restoration, the power level at buses can significantly differ from the one presented under steady-state conditions, demanding an amount of electric power significantly higher than the normal load. Hence, their post-outage behavior must be adequately forecasted in order to permit the development of reliable restoration plans, or to avoid inadequate actions that may lead to a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 6,851 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPeriodic Review Probabilistic Multi-Item Inventory System with Zero Lead Time under Constraint and Varying Holding CostNaglaa Hassan El-SodanyProblem statement: This study treats the probabilistic safety stock n-items inventory system having varying holding cost and zero lead-time subject to linear constraint. Approach: The expected total cost is composed of three components: the average purchase cost; the expected order cost and the expected holding cost. Results: The policy variables for this model are the number of periods N*r and … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2011 · 7,526 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTwo Reformulations for the Dynamic Quadratic Assignment ProblemSirirat Muenvanichakul, Peerayuth CharnsethikulProblem statement: The Dynamic Quadratic Assignment Problem (DQAP), an NP-hard problem, is outlined and reformulated in two alternative models: Linearized model and logic-based model. Approach: The solution methods for both models based on combinatorial methods (Benders’ Decomposition and Approximate Dynamic Programming) and constraint logic programming, respectively, are proposed. Results: Proofs of model equivalence and solution methodology are presented. Conclusion: Both … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,951 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStrength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm based Multi-Objective Optimization for Shortest Path Routing Problem in Computer NetworksSubbaraj Potti, Chitra ChinnasamyProblem statement: A new multi-objective approach, Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm (SPEA), is presented in this paper to solve the shortest path routing problem. The routing problem is formulated as a multi-objective mathematical programming problem which attempts to minimize both cost and delay objectives simultaneously. Approach: SPEA handles the shortest path routing problem as a true multi-objective optimization problem with competing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 16 Dec 2010 · 8,221 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImplementation and Evaluation of Evolutionary Connectionist Approaches to Automated Text SummarizationUday Kulkarni, Rajesh Shardanand PrasadProblem statement: Text summarization takes care of choosing the most significant portions of text and generates coherent summaries that express the main intent of the given document. This study aims to compare the performances of the three text summarization systems developed by the authors with some of the existing Summarization systems available. These three approaches to text summarization are based … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 23 Oct 2010 · 8,493 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSolving One-Dimensional Cutting Stock Problem with Discrete Demands and Capacitated Planning ObjectiveSirirat Wongprakornkul, Peerayuth CharnsethikulProblem statement: One-dimensional cutting stock problem with discrete demands and capacitated planning objective is an NP hard problem. Approach: The mathematical model with column-generation technique by a branch-and-bound procedure and the heuristic based on the first fit decreasing method are proposed.
