This study proposes a novel diversity-enhanced Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) scheme for optimal control of overflow in multi-reservoir sewer networks. To this aim, first two diversity boosting methodologies, cyclic neighborhood-based learning mechanism and three-phase velocity control mechanism for the particle's behavior, are proposed, and then these are combined with the constrained PSO method...
Support vector machine (SVM) is a popular method for classification in data mining. The canonical duality theory provides a unified analytic solution to a wide range of discrete and continuous problems in global optimization. This paper presents a canonical duality approach for solving support vector machine problem. It is shown that by the canonical duality, these nonconvex and integer optimization...
Real-life problems are multi-objective in nature. Prioritizing one objective could suddenly deteriorate other objectives. Furthermore, there is no existence of single best trade-off solution in multi-objective frameworks with many competing objectives. As a decision maker's (DM) opinion is concerned, allowing the DM decides his/her prefer objective is one of the interesting research directions in...
Artificial Bee colony algorithm is a modern swarm intelligence algorithm. This paper proposes a modified version of artificial bee colony algorithm called “Adaptive Artificial Bee Colony” (AABC). This paper compares between standard bee colony algorithm and the proposed adaptive bee colony algorithm through traveling salesman problem. Traveling salesman problem is one of the most common problems in...
For active sensors, waveform/signal optimization is of great importance to improve system performance. In this paper, the adaptive waveform parameter is designed to improve the classification performance by minimizing the Bayesian error probability for the optimal decision of a symmetric binary hypothesis testing problem. It is well known that the probability of error can be bounded by the Chernoff...
Manufacturing Process planning fluctuates in time and space. Process planning is a relationship between engineering portrayal drawings and the ending manufacturing. In this research work the under examine production setup is automotive manufacturing industry in the developing country Pakistan. An elemental process plan is initially developed for a part considering all design specifications and is...
