TL;DR: Comparisons among the formulation and results of five recent evolutionary-based algorithms: genetic algorithms, memetic algorithms, particle swarm, ant-colony systems, and shuffled frog leaping are compared.

TL;DR: A dominance-based selection scheme to incorporate constraints into the fitness function of a genetic algorithm used for global optimization, which indicates that the approach is a viable alternative to the traditional penalty function, mainly in engineering optimization problems.

TL;DR: Modifications are made to the ACO algorithm used to solve the traditional traveling salesman problem in order to allow the search of the multiple routes of the VRP and the use of multiple ant colonies is found to provide a comparatively competitive solution technique especially for larger problems.

TL;DR: This review paper presents the current state of practice of assessing the visual condition of vertical and horizontal civil infrastructure; in particular of reinforced concrete bridges, precast concrete tunnels, underground concrete pipes, and asphalt pavements.

TL;DR: An update review on the recent achievements in implementing agent-based manufacturing systems such as agent encapsulation, agent organization, agent coordination and negotiation, system dynamics, learning, optimization, security and privacy, tools and standards is provided.
