Hybrid approach to design optimisation: preserve accuracy, reduce dimensionality

Mariusz Kamola (2007)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The paper proposes a design procedure for the creation of a robust and effective hybrid algorithm, tailored to and capable of carrying out a given design optimisation task. In the course of algorithm creation, a small set of simple optimisation methods is chosen, out of which those performing best will constitute the hybrid algorithm. The simplicity of the method allows implementing ad-hoc modifications if unexpected adverse features of the optimisation problem are found. It is postulated...

An approach based on the use of the ant system to design combinational logic circuits.

Benito Mendoza García, Carlos A. Coello Coello (2002)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

In this paper we report the first attempt to design combinational logic circuits using the ant system. In order to design circuits, a measure of quality improvement in partially built circuits is introduced and a cost metric (based on the number of gates) is adopted in order to optimize the feasible circuits generated. The approach is compared to a genetic algorithm and to a human designer using several examples and the sensitivity of the algorithm to its parameters is studied using...

Algorithmic Background of the Host Recommendation in the Adaptive Distributed Multimedia Server

Szkaliczki, Tibor, Goldschmidt, Balázs, Böszörmenyi, Laszlo (2007)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

Partial support of the Hungarian State Eötvös Scholarship, the Hungarian National Science Fund (Grant No. OTKA 42559 and 42706) and the Mobile Innovation Center, Hungary is gratefully acknowledged. In a distributed server architecture an obvious question is where to deploy the components. Host recommendation, which gives the answer, faces problems such as server selection, host deployment and, in case of multimedia servers, video replication. It is especially relevant for the...

Representación de datos de conjuntos aproximados mediante diagramas de decisión binarios.

Alex Muir, Ivo Düntsch, Günther Gediga (2004)

RACSAM

Similarity:

A new information system representation, which inherently represents indiscernibility is presented. The basic structure of this representation is a Binary Decision Diagram. We offer testing results for converting large data sets into a Binary Decision Diagram Information System representation, and show how indiscernibility can be efficiently determined. Furthermore, a Binary Decision Diagram is used in place of a relative discernibility matrix to allow for more efficient determination...

Relative Measurement and Its Generalization in Decision Making. Why Pairwise Comparisons are Central in Mathematics for the Measurement of Intangible Factors. The Analytic Hierarchy/Network Process.

Thomas L. Saaty (2008)

RACSAM

Similarity:

According to the great mathematician Henri Lebesgue, making direct comparisons of objects with regard to a property is a fundamental mathematical process for deriving measurements. Measuring objects by using a known scale first then comparing the measurements works well for properties for which scales of measurement exist. The theme of this paper is that direct comparisons are necessary to establish measurements for intangible properties that have no scales of measurement. In that case...

Conceptual Information Compression and Efficient Pattern Search

Angelova, Galia, Mihov, Stoyan (2008)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

This paper introduces an encoding of knowledge representation statements as regular languages and proposes a two-phase approach to processing of explicitly declared conceptual information. The idea is presented for the simple conceptual graphs where conceptual pattern search is implemented by the so called projection operation. Projection calculations are organised into off-line preprocessing and run-time computations. This enables fast run-time treatment of NP-complete problems, given...

A proposition of mobile fractal image decompression

Sławomir Nikiel (2007)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Multimedia are becoming one of the most important elements of the user interface with regard to the acceptance of modern mobile devices. The multimodal content that is delivered and available for a wide range of mobile telephony terminals is indispensable to bind users to a system and its services. Currently available mobile devices are equipped with multimedia capabilities and decent processing power and storage area. The most crucial factors are then the bandwidth and costs of media...

An Electromagnetism Metaheuristic for the Uncapacitated Multiple Allocation Hub Location Problem

Filipović, Vladimir (2011)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

In this article, the results achieved by applying an electromagnetism (EM) inspired metaheuristic to the uncapacitated multiple allocation hub location problem (UMAHLP) are discussed. An appropriate objective function which natively conform with the problem, 1-swap local search and scaling technique conduce to good overall performance.Computational tests demonstrate the reliability of this method, since the EM-inspired metaheuristic reaches all optimal/best known solutions for UMAHLP,...
