This paper proposes a novel quantum‐behaved bat algorithm with the direction of mean
best position (QMBA). In QMBA, the position of each bat is mainly updated by the current …

Aging of metal oxide surge arresters is mainly affected by the high electric stress near the
high voltage electrode. It has been observed that the distribution of voltage and electric field …

Nature-inspired meta-heuristic algorithms (NIMAs) combine the properties of nature-inspired
and mete-heuristic algorithms. Evolutionary inspired and swarm-inspired algorithms are the …

The bat algorithm (BA), which has been demonstrated to be competitive with some
conventional nature-inspired algorithms, such as particle swarm optimization (PSO) and …

Bat algorithm (BA) is a nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithm which is widely used to solve
the real world global optimization problem. BA is a population-based intelligent stochastic …

Capital goods companies produce high value products such as power plant or ships, which
have deep and complex product structures, with components having long process routings …

Sentiment analysis refers to the interpretation and computational study of emotions, opinions
and appraisals within the text data using text analysis methods. A basic aim of sentiment …

Evolutionary and Swarm intelligence algorithms are widely used for global optimization
problems. Bat Algorithm is one such algorithm based on a population-based metaheuristic …

Metaheuristics can be used to solve optimization complex problems because they offer
approximate and acceptable solutions. In recent years, nature has been a source of …
