This thesis presents the development of a new multi-objective optimisation tool and applies it to a number of industrial problems related to optimising energy systems. Multi-objective optimisation techniques provide the information needed for detailed anal ...
The objective of the present work is to make efficient parallelization of evolutionary algorithms (EA) easier in order to solve large instances of difficult combinatorial optimization problems within an acceptable amount of time, on parallel computer archi ...
Concern for the environment has been steadily growing in recent years, and it is becoming more common to include environmental impact and pollution costs in the design problem along with construction, investment and operating costs. To further complicate m ...
The authors det. structural and electronic properties of NanMg clusters using the Car-Parrinello method. The low-energy isomers, which result from a dynamical simulated annealing search, can be described as substitutionally doped Na clusters. The Mg impuri ...
The CEPA, an Evolutionary Algorithm that preserves diversity by finding clusters in the population, has had its convergence performance improved by a technique tentatively called ‘evolutionary operator selection’. Performance is compared to results found i ...
The objective of finding the lidar configuration which best matches airshed pollution modeling guided this study. This study detd. which and how many wavelengths (more than the min. no. of 2 could possibly improve measurement accuracy) are the most suited ...
The CORBA Object Group Service (OGS) is a new CORBA service that provides support for fault-tolerance through the replication of CORBA objects. In this paper, we present several optimization techniques that are used to improve the performance of OGS. For e ...
We propose and demonstrate the use of an adaptive membrane mirror to increase the efficiency of coupling light into optical single-mode fibers. The membrane mirror has an active area of 12 mm in diameter and is electrostatically activated by 37 electrodes. ...
This paper introduces a multi-objective EA, termed the Clustering Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm (CPEA). The CPEA finds and retains many local Pareto- optimal fronts, rather than just the global front as is the case of most multi- objective EAs found in the ...
In a job shop where machining time takes a comparable amount as material transportation time, it is no longer realistic to ignore the scheduling of material transportation systems such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs). Our algorithm discussed in this pa ...
