Online shopping has become an essential part of our life, which provides a suitable, cheap, and quick way for customers to enjoy a wide variety of products. However, due to the large number of online stores, a customer usually faces difficulties to review all available offers manually in order to find a favorite item. The Internet shopping optimization problem (ISOP) is a multiple-item multiple-shop...
Peer-to-Peer technology is one of the most popular techniques nowadays, and it brings some security issues, so the recognition and management of P2P applications on the internet is becoming much more important. The selection of protocol attributes is significant to the problem of P2P identification. To overcome the shortcomings of current methods, a new P2P identification algorithm based on genetic...
This paper compares and analyzes the economics of alternative maintenance plans for generating stations. The usual life-cycle investment decisions for power plant equipment involve definition of alternative scenarios with specified refurbishment dates. The aim of the paper is to present a method for the selection of optimal investment dates that minimizes the life-cycle cost of the analyzed equipment...
Exploring the Web in search of relevant information is a difficult task due to the vast amount of documents it stores and to the heterogeneity of such documents. Using automated systems such as search engines help users cope with the size of the Web. However the results produced by these systems usually contain documents from a large variety of topics with little or no relevance to the end user. In...
This article is an extension of the work presented earlier, which compared and analyzed the economics of alternative maintenance plans. The previous approach has been improved by an application of a genetic algorithm. The system is introduced as a distributed web-based software application. The methodology based on combining evolutionary programming with Monte Carlo simulations is described and illustrated...
