Combination of mobile agent and evolutionary algorithm to optimize the client transport services

Hayfa Zgaya, Slim Hammadi, Khaled Ghédira (2008)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Similarity:

This paper presents a migration strategy for a set of mobile agents (MAs) in order to satisfy customers' requests in a transport network, through a multimodal information system. In this context, we propose an optimization solution which operates on two levels. The first one aims to constitute a set of MAs building their routes, called Workplans. At this level, Workplans must incorporate all nodes, representing information providers in the multimodal network, in order to explore it...

A threshold accepting approach to the open vehicle routing problem

Christos D. Tarantilis, George Ioannou, Chris T. Kiranoudis, Gregory P. Prastacos (2004)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Similarity:

In this paper we consider the operational planning problem of physical distribution via a fleet of hired vehicles, for which the travelling cost is solely a function of the sequence of locations visited within all open delivery routes, while vehicle fixed cost is inexistent. The problem is a special class of vehicle routing and is encountered in the literature as the Open Vehicle Routing Problem (OVRP), since vehicles are not required to return to the depot. The goal is to distribute...

Advanced approach for the public transportation regulation system based on cybercars

Asma Melki, Slim Hammadi, Yves Sallez, Thierry Berger, Christian Tahon (2010)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Similarity:

In the last decade, the authorities require the use of safe, comfortable vehicles to assure a door to door aspect with respect of environment in the urban context. In this paper, we propose an advanced approach of transport regulation where we integrate cybercars into a regulation process as an alternative in disruption cases. For that, we propose an ITS architecture including public transportation and cybercars into the same framework. We will show that collaboration between these...

Fast Information Retrieval in the Open Grid Service Architecture

Berka, Tobias, Vajteršic, Marian (2011)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

This is an extended version of an article presented at the Second International Conference on Software, Services and Semantic Technologies, Sofia, Bulgaria, 11–12 September 2010. In research, grid computing is an established way of providing computer resources for information retrieval. However, e-science grids also contain, process and produce documents - thereby acting as digital libraries and requiring means for information discovery. In this paper, we discuss how distributed...

EasyMSG : tools and techniques for an adaptive overlapping in SPMD programming

Pascal Havé (2002)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Similarity:

During the development of a parallel solver for Maxwell equations by integral formulations and Fast Multipole Method (FMM), we needed to optimize a critical part including a lot of communications and computations. Generally, many parallel programs need to communicate, but choosing explicitly the way and the instant may decrease the efficiency of the overall program. So, the overlapping of computations and communications may be a way to reduce this drawback. We will see a implementation...

Performance evaluation of MapReduce using full virtualisation on a departmental cloud

Horacio González-Vélez, Maryam Kontagora (2011)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

This work analyses the performance of Hadoop, an implementation of the MapReduce programming model for distributed parallel computing, executing on a virtualisation environment comprised of 1 + 16 nodes running the VMWare workstation software. A set of experiments using the standard Hadoop benchmarks has been designed in order to determine whether or not significant reductions in the execution time of computations are experienced when using Hadoop on this virtualisation platform on a...
