A new multi-objective optimization method for master production scheduling problems based on genetic algorithm

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the development and use of genetic algorithm (GA) to MPS problems, something that does not seem to have been done so far, and describe the multi-objective fitness function used, the set of possible individual selection techniques, and the adjustment values for the crossover and mutation operators.

Parallel scalable hardware implementation of asynchronous discrete particle swarm optimization

TL;DR: A novel hardware framework of particle swarm optimization (PSO) for various kinds of discrete optimization problems based on the system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) concept, with results indicating a speed-up of up to 98 times over the software implementation in the elapsed computation time.

How Do Pedestrians find their Way? Results of an experimental study with students compared to simulation results

TL;DR: To map large-scale orientation of pedestrians, a basic model was extended by a navigation graph and this model was used as a basis for different routing algorithms, thus modeling different types of pedestrians.

A Distributed Genetic Algorithm with Migration for the Design of Composite Laminate Structures.

TL;DR: The performance of the dGA in terms of cost and reliability is studied and compared to an sGA baseline, using two types of composite laminate design problems.
