Entropy-Based Sensor Placement Optimization for Waterloss Detection in Water Distribution Networks
(2013)
The work presented herein addresses the problem of sensor placement optimization in urban water distribution networks by use of an entropy-based approach, for the purpose of efficient and economically viable waterloss ...
Scheduling Resource-Constrained Projects with Ant Colony Optimization Artificial Agents
(2010)
The paper presents a methodology to schedule resource-constrained construction projects by use of algorithms based on ant colony optimization (ACO)
Bid mark-up selection using artificial neural networks and an entropy metric
(2010)
The purpose of the paper is to perform bid mark-up optimisation through the use of artificial neural networks (ANN) and a metric of the selected bid mark-up's derived entropy. The scope is to provide an alternative, ...
Traffic Modeling and College-Bus Routing Using Entropy Maximization
(2010)
A method is presented by which traffic flow estimation between known origins and destinations can be evaluated based on a modified entropy model, and by which bus-routing optimization can be performed. The traffic flow ...
Optimized retrofit of multi-storey buildings using seismic isolation at various elevations: assessment for several earthquake excitations
(2015)
This work is concerned with the seismic retrofit of multi-storey buildings by installing isolation devices at various levels along their height. The design of an effective retrofit solution of this type requires the selection ...
Programming the Upgrade of Road Bridges by Sequential Combination of Binary Optimization Routines
(2015)
Since spatial connectivity has been achieved at a significant degree in the developed societies, optimal access and infrastructure management stands for the important thread raised ahead. This issue is important since the ...
