Numerical metaheuristics are often tested on mathematical problems collected into a
benchmark set. There are many benchmark sets, but the number of problems in a particular …

This paper presents a new chance-constrained optimization (CCO) formulation for the bulk
carrier conceptual design. The CCO problem is modeled through the scenario design …

Reducing carbon emissions is a vital approach to combat the global threat of climate
change. As energy consumption continues to grow on a global scale, the shift towards …

Surrogate-assisted evolutionary algorithms (SAEAs) are recently among the most widely
studied methods for their capability to solve expensive real-world optimization problems …

Inverse heat transfer problems are ill-posed problems and their solution is challenging.
Conventional (hard computing) solution methods were developed for this purpose in the …

From the macroscopic point of view, phase change hysteresis (PCH) means that a phase
change process (eg solidification) does not follow the same temperature-enthalpy path as …

The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) path planning problem is a complex optimization
problem in the field of robotics. In this paper, we investigate the possible utilization of this …

This Hot Off the Press paper summarizes our recent work" Soft computing methods in the
solution of an inverse heat transfer problem with phase change: A comparative study" …

Many engineering problems involve heat and mass transfer. A typical solution procedure for
such a problem represents the determination of thermal behaviour and thermal response of …
