Ant colony optimization is a meta-heuristic that has been widely used for solving combinatorial optimization problems, and most real-world applications are concerned with multi-objective optimization problems. The Pareto strength ant colony optimization (PSACO) algorithm, which uses the concepts of Pareto optimality and also the domination concept, has been shown to be very effective in optimizing...
Cable and wiring layout design is one of the complex and tiresome processes in building construction. Over the last few years engineers have proposed several systems to design cable and wiring layouts. Few of these systems designed with the emerging technologies in Artificial Intelligence (AI). This paper reviews the recently proposed cable and wiring layout design systems designed with AI. The results...
Most real world combinatorial optimization problems are difficult to solve with multiple objectives which have to be optimized simultaneously. Over the last few years, researches have been proposed several ant colony optimization algorithms to solve multiple objectives. The aim of this paper is to review the recently proposed multi-objective ant colony optimization (MOACO) algorithms and compare their...
Recently developed meta-heuristic algorithms such as firefly algorithm, bat algorithm, particle swarm optimization and harmony search are now becoming popular for providing nearly accurate solutions for tough optimization problems. This paper addresses the problem of finding all roots of a given univariate nonlinear equation with real and complex roots using a modified firefly algorithm (MOD FA)....
Extracting the actual boundary of a tooth is useful in order to obtain an accurate shape to design a false tooth. A tooth in a dental X-ray image, however, exhibits sharp corners at its root making the boundary extraction task difficult. In this paper, a new technique based on active contours is presented along with a novel modification to detect sharp corners of objects of interest. The proposed...
