This paper is concerned with the application of computational intelligence techniques to the conceptual design and development of a large-scale floating settlement. The settlement in question is a design for the area of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A discrete artificial bee colony ( DABC) algorithm for the permutation flowshop scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times (PFSP-SDST) is presented in this paper. PFSP-SDST is an important problem that has ...

This paper presents a multi-objective self-adaptive differential evolution algorithm to solve the form-finding problem of high-rise building design in the conceptual phase. The aim of the research is to reach suitable ...
