Building Blocks as Experiences in Dynamic Capacitated Arc Routing Problems

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic capacitated arc routing problem (DCARP) aims to update the service paths of vehicles in the capacitated arc routing problem when uncertain factors deteriorate the current schedule of vehicles' services. A DCARP scenario comprises a series of DCARP instances that share similarities with each other. Therefore, optimisation experience

Solving Quadratic Assignment Problem by Using Meta-heuristic Search Method

Ibn Al-Haitham Journal for Pure and Applied Sciences, 2023
While analytical solutions to Quadratic Assignment Problems (QAP) have indeed been since a long time, the expanding use of Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) for similar issues gives a framework for dealing with QAP with an extraordinarily broad scope.

Bridging the implementation gap in MCABC inventory management: from a taxonomy to practical archetypes

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite increasing demands for resilient and sustainable supply chains, inventory management often relies on outdated single‐criterion analyses. While multi‐criteria ABC (MCABC) analyses provide a theoretically mature assessment of resilience‐sustainability‐benefit trade‐offs in inventory, their adoption remains limited due to fragmented ...

Transmission Expansion Planning Considering Power Losses, Expansion of Substations and Uncertainty in Fuel Price Using Discrete Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm

IEEE Access, 2021
Transmission expansion planning (TEP) is an important part of power system expansion planning. In TEP, optimal number of new transmission lines and their installation time and place are determined in an economic way.

Assessing forest fragmentation and biodiversity impacts in sub‐Saharan Africa: Methodological challenges and conservation strategies for small‐scale agricultural landscapes

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Tropical forests in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) harbor around one‐third of the world's species but are becoming more fragmented due to the expansion of human settlements and small‐scale agricultural (SCA) areas. This study systematically reviewed the approaches and methods used to analyze forest fragmentation and its impact on biodiversity in SSA,

Planning capacity for 5G and beyond wireless networks by discrete fireworks algorithm with ensemble of local search methods

EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking, 2020
In densely populated urban centers, planning optimized capacity for the fifth-generation (5G) and beyond wireless networks is a challenging task. In this paper, we propose a mathematical framework for the planning capacity of a 5G and beyond wireless ...

Sampling rate selection for multi‐loop cascade control systems in an optimal manner

IET Control Theory & Applications, 2023
This article proposes an optimization‐based approach to selecting the sampling periods for classes of linear time‐invariant (LTI) regulators in a cascaded multi‐rate control structure, to account for practical implementation on numeric systems.

evsBat: An automated toolkit for tracking and quantifying rapid movement of nocturnal animals using event cameras

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 903-913, March 2026.
Abstract Capturing the high‐speed behaviour of nocturnal animals remains technically challenging because conventional video systems require intense illumination that disrupts natural activity. Event‐based vision sensors (EVS) overcome this constraint, yet their ecological uptake has been slow owing to a lack of software capable of analysing the sparse,

Multiple Input Delays Estimation Using an Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm

Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2013
This paper focuses on the time delay estimation of the system described in the form of discrete-time state equation with multiple input delays. To estimate the input delays, a new evolutionary computation called the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm ...

Dynamic Memory‐Augmented Whale Optimization Algorithm (DMA‐WOA) as Feature Descriptor for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Detection

Applied AI Letters, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
Proposed approach for this study. ABSTRACT This study introduces a dynamically memory‐adjusted whale optimization algorithm (DMA‐WOA) for feature selection in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) diagnosis. To overcome the standard WOA's limitations in balancing exploration and exploitation, DMA‐WOA incorporated adaptive memory control to improve ...
