In this paper, a new hybrid optimization algorithm which combines the standard Butterfly Optimization Algorithm (BOA) with Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm is proposed. The proposed algorithm used the advantages ...

A fundamental goal of any system is to get an optimal state. These optimal states can be found in different areas, such as medicine, engineering, or architecture. In the field of industrial engineering, one of its objectives ...

In this work, we present a systematic method for the optimal development of bioprocesses that relies on the combined use of simulation packages and optimization tools. One of the main advantages of our method is that it ...

The formulation and solution of the inverse problem of damage identification based on an one-dimensional wave propagation approach are presented in this paper. Time history responses, obtained from pulse-echo synthetic ...

Optimization via Simulation (OvS) is an useful optimization tool to find a solution to an optimization problem that is difficult to model analytically. OvS consists in evaluating potential solutions through simulation ...

The transmission network expansion planning (TNEP) problem consists of determining the necessary infrastructure additions, within a planning horizon, to minimize an investment objective function while meeting some operational ...

Optimization is the process of obtaining the best solutions to specific problems. In the literature, those problems have been optimized through a plethora of algorithms. However, these algorithms have many advantages but ...
