An Excel VBA implementation of the Simulated Annealing metaheuristic optimisation algorithm, built as a 2nd Year Industrial Engineering project at Stellenbosch University (2022). The Simulated ...

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to explore the production decision-making problem based on simulated annealing algorithm and genetic algorithm, especially for the design and optimisation of ...

Robotic automation is a key technology that increases the efficiency and flexibility of manufacturing processes. However, one of the challenges in deploying robots in novel environments is finding the ...

new video loaded: I’m Building an Algorithm That Doesn’t Rot Your Brain transcript “Our brains are being melted by the algorithm.” [MUSIC PLAYING] “Attention is infrastructure.” “Those algorithms are ...

As social animals, we humans are hard-wired to learn, thrive, and grow through our relationships — our engagement with and observations of others. Early in life, we rely on teachers and role models ...

ABSTRACT: This research investigates the impact of the road network topological structure on facility location modeling. We create four types of road networks, i.e., the radial, the grid, the ring, ...

Abstract: Based on simulated annealing algorithm and genetic algorithm, this study aims to provide an effective planting strategy to improve the efficiency of crop production in a village in the ...

ABSTRACT: The Tabu Search heuristic can be used to optimise the WET (waste to energy technology). Developments were made to the basic Tabu Search to adapt it to the optimisation problem. This paper ...

Personalized cancer treatment requires precise scheduling of multiple therapeutic agents under biological constraints. Optimizing such regimens is especially challenging due to the nonlinear dynamics ...
