This paper brings an in detail Genetic Algorithm (GA) based combinatorial optimization method used for the optimal design of the water distribution network (WDN) of Gurudeniya Service Zone, Sri Lanka. Genetic Algorithm (GA) mimics the…

There exist many criteria for the optimal design of water distribution networks. One of the most common criteria is to design the optimal cost water distribution network while satisfying the hydraulic design constraints. This study was…

The gravity fed water distribution network design (WDND) optimization problem consists in determining the pipe diameters of a water network such that hydraulic constraints are satisfied and the total cost is minimized. Traditionally, such…

Phasor measurement units (PMUs) are important devices for protection, monitoring, and control of modern power systems. Unlike the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system which only measure the magnitude, PMUs can provide a…

Calibration is a critical process for reducing uncertainty in Water Distribution Network Hydraulic Models (WDN HM). However, features of certain WDNs, such as oversized pipelines, lead to shallow pressure gradients under normal daily…

Many crucial scientific problems involve designing novel molecules with desired properties, which can be formulated as a black-box optimization problem over the discrete chemical space. In practice, multiple conflicting objectives and…

As the recommendation service needs to address increasingly diverse distributions, such as multi-population, multi-scenario, multitarget, and multi-interest, more and more recent works have focused on multi-distribution modeling and…

The real challenge in drone-logistics is to develop an economically-feasible Unmanned Aerial Mobility Network (UAMN). In this paper, we propose an integrated airport location (strategic decision) and routes planning (operational decision)…
