Architects increasingly use digital tools during the design process, particularly as they approach such complex problems as designing for successful daylighting performance. However, while simulation tools may provide the designer with valuable information ...
Energy-efficient design of multimedia embedded systems demands optimizations in both hardware and software. Software optimization has no received much attention, although modern multimedia applications exhibit high resource utilization. In order to efficie ...
There is an increasing interest in the use of computer algorithms to identify combinations of parameters which optimise the energy performance of buildings. For such problems, the objective function can be multi-modal and needs to be approximated numerical ...
This work presents a synthesis method that leads to the preliminary design of industrial energy systems. Such systems are composed of several technologies that transform, through a set of physical unit operations, raw materials and energy into products and ...
1 Introduction to energy systems and evolutionary algorithms. 2 Genetic Algorithm for Constrained Optimization Models. 3 A Framework for Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms. 4 Thermo-Economic Optimisation of a Solar Thermal Plant. ...
To respond to variations in solar energy, harvestedenergy prediction is essential to harvested-energy management approaches. The effectiveness of such approaches is dependent on both the achievable accuracy and computation overhead of prediction algorithm ...
For the last 30 years, several dynamic memory managers (DMMs) have been proposed. Such DMMs include first fit, best fit, segregated fit and buddy systems. Since the performance, memory usage and energy consumption of each DMM differs, software engineers of ...
In this paper we describe a new methodology for optimising building and urban geometric forms for the utilisation of solar irradiation, whether by passive or active means. For this we use a new evolutionary algorithm(a hybrid CMA-ES/HDE algorithm) to searc ...
This paper presents a new double hybridized genetic algorithm for optimizing the variable order in Reduced Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams. The first hybridization adopts embryonic chromosomes as prefixes of variable orders instead of complete variable or ...
Around three quarters of global resource consumption takes place in urban settlements, with corresponding adverse environmental consequences. According to population forecasts this situation will be exacerbated during the coming years. It is therefore impe ...
