Parallel metaheuristic algorithm for exam timetabling

open access: yes, 2018
Exam timetabling is a computationally intractable problem, which requires heuristic techniques for producing good sub-optimal solutions within reasonable execution time. For large numbers of exams and students, sequential algorithms are likely to be time

Eco‐ductile design of RC columns: Resolving the conflict between embodied carbon and curvature ductility

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Reducing embodied carbon emissions in structural design is of critical importance in combating global climate change. However, the increased material usage and heavy confinement reinforcement required to meet high ductility demands in reinforced concrete columns directly conflict with environmental sustainability goals.

A secured cloud‐medical data sharing with A‐BRSA and Salp ‐Ant Lion Optimisation Algorithm

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sharing medical data among healthcare providers, researchers, and patients is crucial for efficient healthcare services. Cloud‐assisted smart healthcare (s‐healthcare) systems have made it easier to store EHRs effectively. However, the traditional encryption algorithms used to secure this data can be vulnerable to attacks if the encryption key

Co‐Optimisation of Battery Energy Storage Systems for Voltage Regulation and Reverse Power Flow Control in PV‐Enriched Low Voltage Distribution Network

open access: yesIET Smart Energy Systems, EarlyView.
A hybrid GA–PSO framework determines the optimal placement and sizing of distributed battery energy storage systems in a PV‐enriched low voltage feeder, whereas dynamic consensus control (DCC) coordinates their operation. The integrated approach mitigates voltage rise and reverse power flow and promotes balanced utilisation of multiple storage units ...

A fast metaheuristic approach for the planar multiple obnoxious facility location problem

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract The multiple obnoxious facility location problem is one of the most studied problems in the literature of the obnoxious facility location problems family. In this work, we propose an alternative algorithmic approach for this problem, based on an efficient metaheuristic procedure over a discretization of the plane based on Voronoi diagrams ...

Integrated location–inventory planning for slow‐moving demands with waiting time limitations

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper studies a stochastic facility location problem integrated with inventory and transportation decisions (SFLPIT) for supply chains with slow‐moving stock‐keeping units (SKUs). Local stores often avoid maintaining such SKUs, resulting in customer demand being fulfilled directly by a central distribution center (DC), where the ...
