Abstract: Optimization is an important research field, especially in engineering, physical sciences, and economics. The main purpose of optimization is to maximize the profit and minimize the cost of ...
Abstract: Firefly Algorithm (FA) is one of the most recently introduced stochastic, nature-inspired, meta-heuristic approaches used for solving optimization problems. The conventional FA use ...
In this paper a new hybrid glowworm swarm algorithm (SAGSO) for solving structural optimization problems is presented. The structure proposed to be optimized here is a simply-supported concrete I-beam ...

To solve the low efficiency of simple greedy algorithms, [22] in 2009 proposed a degree discount heuristics to improve influence spread, by considering the degree discount of a candidate node caused ...
Artificial intelligence is changing perspectives of industries about manufacturing of components, introducing emerging techniques such as additive manufacturing technologies. These techniques can be ...
