An ensemble of differential evolution algorithms with variable neighborhood search for constrained function optimization
(2016 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation, CEC 2016, 2016)
In this paper, an ensemble of differential evolution algorithms based on a variable neighborhood search algorithm (EDE-VNS) is proposed so as to solve the constrained real parameter-optimization problems. The performance ...
Online Learning ARMA Controllers with Guaranteed Closed-Loop Stability
(IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems, 2016)
This paper presents a novel online block adaptive learning algorithm for autoregressive moving average (ARMA) controller design based on the real data measured from the plant. The method employs ARMA input-output models ...
Embracing student experience in inclusive design education through learner-centred instruction
(International Journal of Inclusive Education, 2016)
This paper explores the process and outcome of using learner-centred methods to develop students’ empathic design abilities during an educational workshop on inclusive design. In the first section of the paper, we suggest ...

A memetic algorithm with a variable block insertion heuristic for single machine total weighted tardiness problem with sequence dependent setup times
(2016 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation, CEC 2016, 2016)
In this paper, a memetic algorithm with a variable block insertion heuristic is presented to solve the single machine total weighted tardiness problem with sequence dependent setup times. Together with the traditional ...
Impacts of problem scale and sampling strategy on surrogate model accuracy: An application of surrogate-based optimization in building design
(2016 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation, CEC 2016, 2016)
Surrogate-based Optimization is a useful approach when the objective function is computationally expensive to evaluate, compared to Simulation-based Optimization. In the surrogate-based method, analytically tractable ...
Multi-objective harmony search algorithm for layout design in theatre hall acoustics
(2016 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation, CEC 2016, 2016)
The aim of the research is to find a feasible set of theatre hall design alternatives for two objectives, which are the total cost and the reverberation time, subject to several constraints. We formulate the problem as a ...
Performance investigation of a wind turbine–solar photovoltaic panels–fuel cell hybrid system installed at İncek region – Ankara, Turkey
(Energy Conversion and Management, 2016)
Renewable energy use in the world increases year by year. However, in many cases it is not possible to cover the electrical energy need of even a single house using only one renewable energy resource due to its intermittent ...
