From the Publisher: This book brings together - in an informal and tutorial fashion - the computer techniques, mathematical tools, and research results that will enable both students and practitioners to apply genetic al...

Abstract The computation of optimal routes considering multiple factors is a key challenge in operations research, with significant impact on practical decision-making and real-world efficiency. Optimal bus transit route...

In contexts ranging from natural disasters to technological accidents and security threats, sirens play a crucial role in alerting the population by providing a rapid and widespread warning capability. Optimizing the spa...

As a new promising crossover method, multiple crossovers per couple (MCPC) deserves special attention in evolutionary computing field. Allowing multiple crossovers per couple on a selected pair of parents provided an ext...

In trying to solve multiobjective optimization problems, many traditional methods scalarize the objective vector into a single objective. In those cases, the obtained solution is highly sensitive to the weight vector use...

El Profesor Michalewicz ofrece, en su libro, una motivante introducción al tema abarcando cada uno de los enfoques evolutivos aunque con preferencia hacia los algoritmos genéticos y sus extensiones: los programas evolu...

Minimization of query execution time is an important performance objective in distributed databases design. While total time is to be minimized for On Line Transaction Processing (OLTP) type queries, response time has to...

Identifying population genetic structure (PGS) is crucial for breeding and conservation. Several clustering algorithms are available to identify the underlying PGS to be used with genetic data of maize genotypes. In this...

Operations Research, Management Science or Business Analytics is a technology that helps improve business decision making. This book is focused on linear, integer, nonlinear and multiobjective programming, as well as mul...

La localización de servicios (“Facility location” en inglés) pretende encontrar el emplazamiento de uno o más centros (servicios) de modo que se optimice una determinada función objetivo. Dicha función objetivo pu...

Abstract The efficiency of optical power transferred between two bidimensional waveguides, continuous waveguide and periodic subwavelength waveguide has been designed and optimized by using a taper composed by variable l...

Abstract The Jiles-Atherton scalar hysteresis model presents five parameters used to represent the material tested and used to calculate the magnetic losses. This article presents a comparative analysis of the performanc...

Feature selection is a key issue in pattern recognition, specially when prior knowledge of the most discriminant features is not available. Moreover, in order to perform the classification task with reduced complexity an...

This work proposes a numerical procedure to simulate and optimize the thermal response of a multilayered wallboard system for building envelopes, where each layer can be possibly made of Phase Change Materials (PCM)-base...

ABSTRACT The objective of this research was to simulate the genetic gains expected comparing random mating strategies and mate selection by optimum contribution with different penalty levels in the inbreeding rate of San...

Nanophotonics inverse design is a rapidly expanding research field whose goal is to focus users on defining complex, high-level optical functionalities while leveraging machines to search for the required material and ge...

There exists no publication currently available to the scholars that address in detail, every aspect of designing a modern supersonic aircraft for civil aviation. This paper aims to resolve that issue. It reviews all the...

A discrete two-dimensional Fourier transform and the power Fourier spectrum are used for determination of average strains near cracks in a welded seam of Ni-Cr-Fe alloy. The alignment of Kikuchi images with the help of g...

"We study the dynamics of self-organized systems when disturbed by shocks. For this purpose, we consider extensions of the “Bar Attendance Model” [1] (BAM), which provides a stylized setting for the analysis of the e...

Controlling nonlinear pulse propagation in optical fibers is paramount for applications spanning spectroscopy and optical communication networks. However, the inherent complexity of laser pulse evolution in matter, shape...

The production of furfural and pectin extraction from brewer's spent grain (BSG) and grape marc (GM) represents a sustainable strategy for valorizing agro-industrial residues either through the recovery or the transforma...

Evolutionary computation (EC) has been recently recognized as a research field, which studies a new type of algorithms: Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs). These algorithms process populations of solutions as opposed to most ...

This paper presents a neuro-fuzzy network where all its parameters can be tuned simultaneously using Genetic Algorithms. The approach combines the merits of fuzzy logic theory, neural networks and genetic algorithms. The...
