Although greedy algorithms are important, nowadays it is well assumed that the solutions they obtain can be used as a starting point for more sophisticated methods. This paper describes an evolutionary approach which is based on genetic algorithms (GA). A constructive heuristic, so-called fuzzy...

Clinical decision support systems are meant to improve the quality of decision-making in healthcare. Artificial intelligence is the science of creating intelligent systems that solve complex problems at the level of or better than human experts. Combining artificial intelligence methods into...

The purpose of this article is to weigh up the foremost imperative features of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). This study is based mostly on three cluster techniques like; K means, Fuzzy c-means and hierarchical clustering. The authors used evolutionary techniques like genetic algorithms (GA) to...

In this article, an innovative Genetic Algorithm is proposed to find potential patches enclosing roots of real valued function f:R→R. As roots of f can be real as well as complex, the function is reframed on to complex plane by writing it as f(z). Thus, the problem now is transformed to...

In this article, the detection of urban areas on satellite multispectral Landsat images. The goal is to improve the visual interpretations of images from remote sensing experts who often remain subjective. Interpretations depend deeply on the quality of segmentation which itself depends on the...

The purpose of this paper is to present a mission design approach for a service mobile manipulator which is moving and manipulating objects in partly known indoor environments. The mobile manipulator is requested to pick up and place objects on predefined places (stations). The proposed approach...

A major challenge faced by hospitals is to provide efficient medical services. The problem studied in this article is motivated by the hospital sterilization services where the washing step generally constitutes a bottleneck in the sterilization services. Therefore, an efficient scheduling of...

The template matching is an important technique used in pattern recognition. The goal is to find a given pattern, of a prescribed model, in a frame sequence. In order to evaluate the similarity of two images, the Pearson's Correlation Coefficient (PCC) is used. This coefficient is calculated for...

Knowledge is a concept - like gravity. You cannot see it, but you can observe its effects. Minimize knowledge is an invisible, intangible asset and cannot be directly observed. Many people and organizations do not explicitly recognize the importance of knowledge, in contrast to their more...
