Book Metaheuristic and Machine Learning Optimization Strategies for Complex Systems

Download or read book Metaheuristic and Machine Learning Optimization Strategies for Complex Systems written by R., Thanigaivelan and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2024-07-17 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contemporary engineering domains, optimization and decision-making issues are crucial. Given the vast amounts of available data, processing times and memory usage can be substantial. Developing and implementing novel heuristic algorithms is time-consuming, yet even minor improvements in solutions can significantly reduce computational costs. In such scenarios, the creation of heuristics and metaheuristic algorithms has proven advantageous. The convergence of machine learning and metaheuristic algorithms offers a promising approach to address these challenges. Metaheuristic and Machine Learning Optimization Strategies for Complex Systems covers all areas of comprehensive information about hyper-heuristic models, hybrid meta-heuristic models, nature-inspired computing models, and meta-heuristic models. The key contribution of this book is the construction of a hyper-heuristic approach for any general problem domain from a meta-heuristic algorithm. Covering topics such as cloud computing, internet of things, and performance evaluation, this book is an essential resource for researchers, postgraduate students, educators, data scientists, machine learning engineers, software developers and engineers, policy makers, and more.

Book Instrumentation Measurement Circuits and Systems

Download or read book Instrumentation Measurement Circuits and Systems written by Tianbiao Zhang and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-03-09 with total page 988 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume includes a set of selected papers extended and revised from the 2011 International Conference on Mechanical Engineering and Technology, held on London, UK, November 24-25, 2011. Mechanical engineering technology is the application of physical principles and current technological developments to the creation of useful machinery and operation design. Technologies such as solid models may be used as the basis for finite element analysis (FEA) and / or computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of the design. Through the application of computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), the models may also be used directly by software to create "instructions" for the manufacture of objects represented by the models, through computer numerically controlled (CNC) machining or other automated processes, without the need for intermediate drawings. This volume covers the subject areas of mechanical engineering and technology, and also covers interdisciplinary subject areas of computers, communications, control and automation. We hope that researchers, graduate students and other interested readers benefit scientifically from the book and also find it stimulating in the process.
