An Innovative Metaheuristic Strategy for Solar Energy Management through a Neural Networks Framework

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
Proper management of solar energy as an effective renewable source is of high importance toward sustainable energy harvesting. This paper offers a novel sophisticated method for predicting solar irradiance (SIr) from environmental conditions. To this end,

Open Competency Optimization with Combinatorial Operators for the Dynamic Green Traveling Salesman Problem

open access: yesInformation
This paper proposes the Open Competency Optimization (OCO) approach, based on adaptive combinatorial operators, to solve the Dynamic Green Traveling Salesman Problem (DG-TSP), which extends the classical TSP by incorporating dynamic travel conditions ...

REVIEW OF THE MULTI-OBJECTIVE SWARM INTELLIGENCE OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHMS

open access: yesJournal of ICT, 2021
Multi-objective swarm intelligence (MOSI) metaheuristics were proposed to solve multi-objective optimization problems (MOPs) that consists of two or more conflict objectives, in which improving an objective leads to the degradation of the other. The MOSI

Elephant Herding Optimization: Variants, Hybrids, and Applications

open access: yesMathematics, 2020
Elephant herding optimization (EHO) is a nature-inspired metaheuristic optimization algorithm based on the herding behavior of elephants. EHO uses a clan operator to update the distance of the elephants in each clan with respect to the position of a ...

Iterated-greedy-based algorithms with beam search initialization for the permutation flowshop to minimize total tardiness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The permutation flow shop scheduling problem is one of the most studied operations research related problems. Literally, hundreds of exact and approximate algorithms have been proposed to optimise several objective functions. In this paper we address the

Free Lunch or No Free Lunch: That is not Just a Question?

open access: yes, 2012
The increasing popularity of metaheuristic algorithms has attracted a great deal of attention in algorithm analysis and performance evaluations. No-free-lunch theorems are of both theoretical and practical importance, while many important studies on ...

A Metaheuristic Adaptive Cubature Based Algorithm to Find Bayesian Optimal Designs for Nonlinear Models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Finding Bayesian optimal designs for nonlinear models is a difficult task because the optimality criteriontypically requires us to evaluate complex integrals before we perform a constrained optimization.

Heuristics for the traveling repairman problem with profits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In the traveling repairman problem with profits, a repairman (also known as the server) visits a subset of nodes in order to collect time-dependent profits. The objective consists of maximizing the total collected revenue.
