In this research one of the local search algorithms called the Concentric tabu search (CTS) is used to solve the traveling salesman problem (TSP). One of the well known NP-hard problems in combinatorial optimization is the ...

Probability Collectives (PC) employ multiple agents to distribute sampling moves through using probability distributions over a solution space. This multi-agent systems (MAS) affords the advantage of parallel and distributed ...

Medical record classification is the process of categorizing a patient’s record as either having or not having a medical condition based on some given information (features) about the patient. Not all available features ...

ABSTRACT: In this thesis, two different algorithms for solving global optimization problems were developed. The first is imperialistic competitive algorithm with updated assimilation (ICAMA), which is used for solving ...
