Water distribution networks are crucial for supplying consumers with quality and adequate
water. A water distribution system comprises connected hydraulic components which ensure …

The grey wolf optimizer (GWO) is a well-known nature-inspired algorithm, which shows a
sufficient performance for solving various optimization problems. However, it suffers from low …

In this paper, we consider parallel and sequential task offloading to multiple mobile edge
computing servers. The task consists of a set of inter-dependent sub-tasks, which are …

Due to a variety of possible good types and so many complex drilling variables and
constraints, optimization of the trajectory of a complex wellbore is very challenging. There …

Abstract A 4-bed-8-step pressure swing adsorption (PSA) process has been developed to
produce high-purity hydrogen from the steam methane reforming (SMR) gas mixture. The …

Energy-absorbing structure, which is the most effective and direct protection component, is
installed at the front of the head car. However, structural optimization problems of this …

Contemporary real-world optimization benchmarks are subject to many constraints and are
often high-dimensional problems. Typically, such problems are expensive in terms of …

Reduction in system inertia and maintaining the frequency at the nominal value is a staple of
today's and future power systems since their operation, stability, and resiliency are degraded …

Like most metaheuristic algorithms, salp swarm algorithm (SSA) suffers from slow
convergence and stagnation in the local optima. The study develops a novel Time-Based …

Medical diagnosis is a procedure for the investigation of a person's symptoms on the basis
of disease. This problem has been investigated and applied to personal healthcare systems …
