ABSTRACT: Multi-objective optimization remains a significant and realistic problem in engineering. A trade-off among conflicting objectives subject to equality and inequality constraints is known as ...

This paper presents a novel approach to the joint optimization of job scheduling and data allocation in grid computing environments. We formulate this joint optimization problem as a mixed integer ...

Aim to minimize the combined fixed and transportation costs by deciding which of five plants to keep open or what have to close.

Revised: This Reviewed Preprint has been revised by the authors in response to the previous round of peer review; the eLife assessment and the public reviews have been updated where necessary by the ...

Abstract: In this article, we describe a deterministic optimization framework for the conceptual-stage design of aerodynamically-actuated wingsails. The primary objective of high-performance sailing ...

The objective of the 3D-SCALO problem is to assign the given components to optimal mounting surfaces and position them at the best locations, while satisfying the requirements for (1) heat dissipation ...
