Abstract

In this paper, the Multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) is used to obtain the Pareto frontiers of conflicting objective functions for the fuzzy-Proportional-Integral-Derivative (fuzzy-PID) controllers. The ball–beam and inverted pendulum fourth order nonlinear systems are regarded [...]

Abstract

Aircraft emission targets worldwide and their climatic effects have put pressure in government agencies, aircraft manufacturers and airlines to reduce water vapour, carbon dioxide ([...]

Abstract

This paper shows an integrated structural design optimization of a composite rotor-hydrofoil of a water current turbine by means the finite elements method (FEM), using a Serial/Parallel mixing theory (Rastellini et al. Comput. Struct. 86:879–896, [...]

Abstract

Inter-domain traffic engineering is a key issue when QoS-aware resource optimization is concerned. Mapping inter-domain traffic flows into existing service level agreements is, in general, a complex problem, for which some algorithms have recently been proposed in the literature. [...]

Abstract

This paper presents a traffic engineering framework able to optimize OSPF weight setting administrative procedures. Using the proposed framework, enhanced OSPF configurations are now provided to network administrators in order to effectively improve the QoS performance of the corresponding [...]

Abstract

This paper proposes a novel traffic engineering framework able to automatically provide near-optimal OSPF routing configurations for QoS constrained scenarios. Within this purpose, this work defines a mathematical model able to measure the QoS compliance in a class-based networking [...]

Abstract

This work presents a multiobjective algorithm for multicast traffic engineering. The proposed algorithm is a new version of MultiObjective Ant Colony System (MOACS), based on Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). The proposed MOACS simultaneously optimizes the maximum link utilization, the [...]

Abstract

Multiagent systems have had a powerful impact on the real world. Many of the systems it studies air traffic, satellite coordination, rover exploration are inherently multi-objective, but they are often treated as single-objective problems within the research. A very important concept [...]

Abstract

This paper addresses issues associated with the real-time control of public transit operations to minimize passenger wait time: namely vehicle headway, maintenance of passenger comfort, and reducing the impact of control strategies. The randomness of passenger arrivals at bus stops [...]

Abstract

This paper presents a multi-objective energy scheduling for the daily operation of a Smart Grid (SG) considering maximization of the minimum available reserve in addition to the cost minimization, to take into account the reliability requirements of critical and vulnerable loads. [...]
