CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.Abstract In a multi‐row facility layout problem (MRFLP), facilities are arranged in more than one row under the limited layout area. Considering different layout factors, various extensions of MRFLP have been modelled. However, the orientation of input/output (I/O) point in a facility, as a key factor that plays a direct impact on flow cost, is seldom ...

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

Hybrid Feature Selection Approach Based on GRASP for Cancer Microarray Data
Journal of Computing and Information Technology, 2017 Microarray data usually contain a large number of genes, but a small number of samples. Feature subset selection for microarray data aims at reducing the number of genes so that useful information can be extracted from the samples. Reducing the dimension

A Novel Tabu Search Algorithm for Multi-AGV Routing Problem
Mathematics, 2020 In this paper, we propose a novel tabu search (NTS) algorithm that improves the efficiencies of picking goods of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) in an automatic warehouse by solving the conflicts that happen when multiple AGVs work at the same time ...

The Big Picture: Religion and Global Comparative History
Journal of Religious History, EarlyView.This article considers what a ‘big picture’ approach to global religious history might look like, and in particular the implications of deploying the comparative method across much larger stretches of time and space than historians normally attend to. It will begin by reflecting on the epistemological moods that have hindered this project to date, the ...
