An integrated approach to machine selection and operation allocation problem
(International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, 2011)
Machine selection and operation allocation is a multi-criteria decision-making problem which involves the consideration of both qualitative and quantitative factors. Thus, a hybrid model integrating the knowledge-based ...
A hybrid harmony search algorithm for the blocking permutation flow shop scheduling problem
(Computers and Industrial Engineering, 2011)
This paper proposes a hybrid modified global-best harmony search (hmgHS) algorithm for solving the blocking permutation flow shop scheduling problem with the makespan criterion. First of all, the largest position value ...
A differential evolution algorithm for the economic lot scheduling problem
(IEEE SSCI 2011 - Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence - SDE 2011: 2011 IEEE Symposium on Differential Evolution, 2011)
In this study we provide a Differential Evolution (DE) based heuristic to solve the Economic Lot Scheduling Problem (ELSP) under basic period approach. The problem is to find the best cyclic production schedule of n items ...
A differential evolution algorithm for the median cycle problem
(IEEE SSCI 2011 - Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence - SDE 2011: 2011 IEEE Symposium on Differential Evolution, 2011)
This paper extends the applications of differential evolution algorithms to the Median Cycle Problem. The median cycle problem is concerned with constructing a simple cycle composed of a subset of vertices of a mixed graph. ...
Interactive quality assessment for asymmetric coding of 3D video
(3DTV Conference: The True Vision - Capture, Transmission and Display of 3D Video, 3DTV-CON 2011 - Proceedings, 2011)
In stereoscopic 3D video, it is known that humans can perceive high quality 3D video provided that one of the views in high quality. Hence, in stereo video encoding the best overall rate vs. perceived-distortion performance ...
Ethical approaches and their application in hotel managers' decision making
(Tourismos, 2011)
This study aims at evaluating the ethical approaches effective for managers working at hotel business when making decisions. Ethics, in the working place, refers to the rules of the workplace that an employee has to comply ...
Differential evolution algorithm with ensemble of parameters and mutation strategies
(Applied Soft Computing Journal, 2011)
Differential evolution (DE) has attracted much attention recently as an effective approach for solving numerical optimization problems. However, the performance of DE is sensitive to the choice of the mutation strategy and ...
Does corporate reputation improve stock performance in an emerging economy evidence from Turkey
(Corporate Reputation Review, 2011)
Corporate reputation has long been recognized as a valuable asset, and several studies have investigated the relationship between reputation and various performance measures. However, researchers have reached conflicting ...
Discrete and dual tree wavelet features for real-time speech/music discrimination
(ISRN Signal Processing, 2011)
The performance of wavelet transform-based features for the speech/music discrimination task has been investigated. In order to extract wavelet domain features, discrete and complex orthogonal wavelet transforms have been ...
Hash-based document extraction in corporate mobile devices using ontological architectures
(Scientific Research and Essays, 2011)
Due to the rapid technological advances in mobile and wireless networking devices, personal computing has moved towards into ad hoc and pervasive environments. Today, the dynamic nature of mobile applications and services ...
