Heuristic and Exact Algorithms for the Two-Machine Just in Time Job Shop Scheduling Problem
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2016 , Article)
The problem addressed in this paper is the two-machine job shop scheduling problem when the objective is to minimize the total earliness and tardiness from a common due date (CDD) for a set of jobs when their weights equal ...
Optimization of base stations density for hybrid energy based 3-D wireless networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Hybrid energy supply (HES) based wireless communication systems have recently emerged as a new paradigm to enable green networks, which are powered by both the traditional and harvested energies. In this paper, we propose ...
Joint Optimal Placement, Routing, and Flow Assignment in Wireless Sensor Networks for Structural Health Monitoring
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
Sensor node placement optimization has a significant role in wireless sensor networks, especially in structural health monitoring. Since sensor node placement affects the routing, optimization should be Jointly done for ...
Efficient Usage of Renewable Energy in Communication Systems Using Dynamic Spectrum Allocation and Collaborative Hybrid Powering
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
In this paper, we introduce a new green resource allocation problem using hybrid powering of communication systems from renewable and nonrenewable sources. The objective is to efficiently allocate the power delivered from ...
Strength optimisation of mortar with CNTs and nanoclays
(
Thomas Telford Services Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This study explores the use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and nanoclays in cement mortars. The paper presents modelling and optimisation of the compressive and flexural strengths of cement mortars containing CNTs and the ...
Network function virtualization scheduling with transmission delay optimization
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
To accelerate the implementation of network functions/middle boxes and reduce the deployment cost, recently the concept of Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has emerged and became a topic of much interest attracting ...
Optimization of chiral lattice based metastructures for broadband vibration suppression using genetic algorithms
(
Academic Press
, 2016 , Article)
One of the major challenges in civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering is to develop vibration suppression systems with high efficiency and low cost. Recent studies have shown that high damping performance at broadband ...
Relay selection schemes to minimise outage in wireless powered communication networks
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, the authors discuss relay selection schemes with the objective to minimise outage probability for a network consisting of a single source, multiple relays and a single destination. The relays are powered by ...
Qualitative economic model for long-term IaaS composition
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
We propose a new qualitative economic model based optimization approach to compose an optimal set of infrastructure service requests over a long-term period. The economic model is represented as a temporal CP-Net to capture ...
Genetic algorithm use for internally resonating lattice optimization: Case of a beam-like metastructure
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Metamaterial inspired structures, or metastructures, are structural members that incorporate periodic or nonperiodic inserts. Recently, a new class of metastructures has been introduced which feature chiral lattice inserts. ...
