Hybrid meta-heuristics for combinatorial optimization.

open access: yes, 2014
Combinatorial optimization problems arise, in many forms, in vari- ous aspects of everyday life. Nowadays, a lot of services are driven by optimization algorithms, enabling us to make the best use of the available resources while guaranteeing a level of service.

Unravelling Cascading Phenomena in Sociotechnical Systems: A Systematic Review and Modelling Framework

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article investigates the characterization of cascading phenomena within sociotechnical systems through a systematic review and the development of a conceptual modelling framework. Cascading phenomena, often described using terms such as ripple effect, domino effect, cascading failure, risk propagation and cascading effect, capture the far‐

From Patterns to Attractor‐Like Modes: A Systems Sensemaking Framework for Recurring Conflict in Healthcare Teams

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recurring conflict in healthcare teams frequently persists despite well‐intended interventions (Page et al. 2024; Mazzei et al. 2024). Dynamic systems theory helps to map how such recurrences reflect systemic feedback loops linking individual experience, behaviour, shared beliefs and organisational structures, supporting intervention design at

A Novel Approach to Energy Management in Electric Steelworks

open access: yessteel research international, EarlyView.
Feed‐forward neural networks are exploited to estimate electric energy consumptions of the electric arc furnace and ladle furnace processes. The models are used to optimize production schedule so that more energy intensive grades are produced when the cost of energy is lower.

Optimal structural design method for reinforced concrete column in buildings with high floor heights using a genetic algorithm

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Globally, there is a growing trend toward taller, larger, and more structurally diverse buildings that require expansive interior spaces. Rapid technological advancements have surged the demand for data centers, while the expansion of e‐commerce has increased logistics volumes, driving the need for large‐scale warehouses.

Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI)‐powered design framework for lightweight strain‐hardening ultra‐high‐performance composites (SH‐UHPC)

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Lightweight strain‐hardening ultra‐high‐performance concrete composite (SH‐UHPC) is an outstanding alternative for engineering applications and infrastructure thanks to its outstanding strength, toughness, ductility, and low density. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI)‐based modeling strategies into engineering problems can ...
