This paper presents a hybridized version of the Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA) for Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) problems with severe constraints. The Adaptive β -hill climbing optimizer (ABHCO) and a recently evolved local search method is hybridized with SSA as a novel operator. This hybridization scheme is known as a memetic algorithm where the SSA s...

In this paper, the economic load dispatch (ELD) problem with valve point effect is tackled using a hybridization between salp swarm algorithm (SSA) as a population-based algorithm and \(\beta \)-hill climbing optimizer as a single point-based algorithm. The proposed hybrid SSA is abbreviated as HSSA. This is to achieve the right balance between the...

This paper proposes a hybrid harmony search algorithm (HHSA) for solving the highly constrained nurse rostering problem (NRP). The NRP is a combinatorial optimization problem tackled by assigning a set of shifts to a set of nurses; each has specific skills and work contract, to a predefined rostering period according to a set of constraints. The ha...

Error coding is suited when the transmission channel is noisy. This is the case of wireless communication. So to provide a reliable digital data transmission, we should use error detection and correction algorithms. In this paper, we constructed a simulation study for four detection algorithms. The first three methods—hamming, LRC, and parity are c...

This study is based on the understanding that the main objectives of database are to guarantee consistency and this is the reason why concurrency, security, and reliability and integrity control tools are used. Integrity controls are used to present any fork of semantic errors caused by users due to recklessness or lack of adequate knowledge. Ad...

Recently, audio data has increasingly becomes one of the prevalent source of information, especially after the exponential growth of using Internet, digital libraries systems and digital mobile devices. The currently massive amount of audio data stimulates working on developing custom audio retrieval tools to facilitate the audio retrieval tasks. T...

Background: Malaysia is one amongst Asia " s top five within the obesity ranking. It has the highest obese percentage in South East Asia, and one in six Malaysians are either overweight or obese. Mobile Kids has taken the opportunity to develop a persuasive mobile game to prevent obesity among children and to get treatment while enjoying the game....

This paper presents a simple parser to parse Arabic sentences. The aim of this parser is to check whether the syntax of an Arabic sentence is grammatically correct or not by constructing new ef-ficient Context-Free Grammar that makes Top-Down technique much valuable. A set of experiments were ran on a dataset con-tains 150 Arabic sentence. The syst...

This paper presents an algorithm and then MATLAB program that can construct and process an image depending on a given database and face recognition technique, which helps in the operations of investigation issues for policemen and in any similar operations, the image gets constructed and implemented as the database is developed. It is found that su...

On the basis of theoretical and experimental researches the new structures and formal methods of compositional micro program control units design are proposed. It is shown that optimization of hardware in the unit of microinstructions’ addressing can be achieved by application of the methods of multilevel implementation of automata with “hardware”...

Problem statement: The ability to classify unlabeled vast amount of information available on the internet would lead to easier access for those doing research specific area. Text Classification (TC) topic is quite significant due to several information systems have to deal with various numbers of documents; therefore, there must be some techniques...

Problem statement: Today, software production has the most expensive component of computer system projects, most of software projects fail due to exceeding budget, a late delivery or poor planning, software cost estimation SCE is to predict the amount of effort required to build a software system, many estimation models have been proposed over the...
