Comparison of a genetic algorithm and simulated annealing for automatic neural ...

In the last decades ensemble learning has established itself as a valuable strategy within the computational intelligence modeling and machine learning community. Ensemble learning is a paradigm where multiple models combine in some way their decisions, or their learning algorithms, or different data to improve the prediction performance. Ensemble learning aims at improving the generalization ability and the re...

A web spatial decision support system for vehicle routing using Google Maps

This article presents a user-friendly web-based Spatial Decision Support System (wSDSS) aimed at generating optimized vehicle routes for multiple vehicle routing problems that involve serving the demand located along arcs of a transportation network. The wSDSS incorporates Google Maps™ (cartography and network data), a database, a heuristic and an ant-colony meta-heuristic developed by the authors to generate r...

Using SSM for structuring decision support in urban energy planning

A multi-criteria decision approach to sorting actions for promoting energy eff...

This paper proposes a multi-criteria decision approach for sorting energy-efficiency initiatives, promoted by electric utilities, with or without public funds authorized by a regulator, or promoted by an independent energy agency, overcoming the limitations and drawbacks of cost–benefit analysis. The proposed approach is based on the ELECTRE-TRI multi-criteria method and allows the consideration of different ki...

Assessing the performance of biogas plants with multi-criteria and data envelop...

This paper performs an assessment of 41 agricultural biogas plants located in Austria to determine their relative performance in terms of economic, environmental, and social criteria and corresponding indicators. The comparison of these renewable energy conversion plants is based on two complementary analyses. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) was conducted to provide measures of radial efficiency relative to the...

Stability analysis of efficient solutions in multiobjective integer programming...

This paper presents a multiobjective linear integer programming model for supporting the choice of remote load control strategies in electric distribution network management. The model takes into account the main concerns in load management, considering three objective functions: minimization of the peak demand as perceived by the distribution network dispatch center, maximization of the utility profit associat...

A multicriteria decision support system for housing evaluation

Economic and population growth, higher life quality standards, and lower interest rates have led to an increase in the demand for housing. However, in many urban areas, land for housing is becoming scarce, and environmental and construction requirements more stringent. ; http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6V8S-4MMWHDN-1/1/437dc7ec699437dd6c0b744611de00c0
