    MLD-MPC Approach for Three-Tank Hybrid Benchmark Problem

    Hanen Yaakoubi1, Hegazy Rezk2, Mujahed Al-Dhaifallah3,4,*, Joseph Haggège1

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.75, No.2, pp. 3657-3675, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.034929 - 31 March 2023

    Abstract The present paper aims at validating a Model Predictive Control (MPC), based on the Mixed Logical Dynamical (MLD) model, for Hybrid Dynamic Systems (HDSs) that explicitly involve continuous dynamics and discrete events. The proposed benchmark system is a three-tank process, which is a typical case study of HDSs. The MLD-MPC controller is applied to the level control of the considered tank system. The study is initially focused on the MLD approach that allows consideration of the interacting continuous dynamics with discrete events and includes the operating constraints. This feature of MLD modeling is very advantageous… More >

    Multi-Patch Black-White Topology Optimization in Isogeometric Analysis

    Qingyuan Hu1,*, Yuan Liang2, Menghao Liu1, Manfeng Hu1, Yawen Mao1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.134, No.1, pp. 459-481, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2022.020327 - 24 August 2022

    Abstract Topological optimization plays a guiding role in the conceptual design process. This paper conducts research on structural topology optimization algorithm within the framework of isogeometric analysis. For multi-component structures, the Nitsche’s method is used to glue different meshes to perform isogeometric multi-patch analysis. The discrete variable topology optimization algorithm based on integer programming is adopted in order to obtain clear boundaries for topology optimization. The sensitivity filtering method based on the Helmholtz equation is employed for averaging of curved elements' sensitivities. In addition, a simple averaging method along coupling interfaces is proposed in order to More >

    A Fixed-Point Iterative Method for Discrete Tomography Reconstruction Based on Intelligent Optimization

    Luyao Yang1,#, Hao Chen2,#, Haocheng Yu1, Jin Qiu1,*, Shuxian Zhu1,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.134, No.1, pp. 731-745, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2022.020656 - 24 August 2022

    Abstract Discrete Tomography (DT) is a technology that uses image projection to reconstruct images. Its reconstruction problem, especially the binary image (0–1 matrix) has attracted strong attention. In this study, a fixed point iterative method of integer programming based on intelligent optimization is proposed to optimize the reconstructed model. The solution process can be divided into two procedures. First, the DT problem is reformulated into a polyhedron judgment problem based on lattice basis reduction. Second, the fixed-point iterative method of Dang and Ye is used to judge whether an integer point exists in the polyhedron of More >

    Optimization Model in Manufacturing Scheduling for the Garment Industry

    Chia-Nan Wang1, Yu-Chen Wei2, Po-Yuk So3,*, Viet Tinh Nguyen4, Phan Nguyen Ky Phuc5

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.71, No.3, pp. 5875-5889, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.023880 - 14 January 2022

    Abstract The garment industry in Vietnam is one of the country's strongest industries in the world. However, the production process still encounters problems regarding scheduling that does not equate to an optimal process. The paper introduces a production scheduling solution that resolves the potential delays and lateness that hinders the production process using integer programming and order allocation with a make-to-order manufacturing viewpoint. A number of constraints were considered in the model and is applied to a real case study of a factory in order to view how the tardiness and lateness would be affected which More >

    Stochastic Programming For Order Allocation And Production Planning

    Phan Nguyen Ky Phuc*

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.40, No.1, pp. 75-85, 2022, DOI:10.32604/csse.2022.017793 - 26 August 2021

    Abstract Stochastic demand is an important factor that heavily affects production planning. It influences activities such as purchasing, manufacturing, and selling, and quick adaption is required. In production planning, for reasons such as reducing costs and obtaining supplier discounts, many decisions must be made in the initial stage when demand has not been realized. The effects of non-optimal decisions will propagate to later stages, which can lead to losses due to overstocks or out-of-stocks. To find the optimal solutions for the initial and later stage regarding demand realization, this study proposes a stochastic two-stage linear programming… More >

    Kernel Search-Framework for Dynamic Controller Placement in Software-Defined Network

    Ali Abdi Seyedkolaei1, Seyed Amin Hosseini Seno1,*, Rahmat Budiarto2

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.68, No.3, pp. 3391-3410, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2021.017313 - 06 May 2021

    Abstract In software-defined networking (SDN) networks, unlike traditional networks, the control plane is located separately in a device or program. One of the most critical problems in these networks is a controller placement problem, which has a significant impact on the network’s overall performance. This paper attempts to provide a solution to this problem aiming to reduce the operational cost of the network and improve their survivability and load balancing. The researchers have proposed a suitable framework called kernel search introducing integer programming formulations to address the controller placement problem. It demonstrates through careful computational studies More >

    An Integer Programming Method for CPM Time-Cost Analysis

    A. P. Chassiakos, C. I. Samaras, D. D. Theodorakopoulos1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.1, No.4, pp. 9-18, 2000, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2000.001.461

    Abstract Time and cost to complete a project is an important tradeoff problem in project planning and control. Existing methods have not provided an accepted solution in terms of both accuracy and efficiency. In an attempt to improve the solution process, a method is presented for developing optimal project time-cost curves based on CPM analysis. Using activity succession information, project paths are developed and duration is calculated. Following that, duration is reduced in an optimal way employing integer programming. Two alternative formulations are proposed which lead to corresponding algorithms, a progressive duration reduction and a direct More >
