This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm III (NSGA-III) in comparison to the traditional Mean-Variance optimization method for financial portfolio management. Leveraging a dataset of global financial assets, we applied both approaches to optimize...

Disasters are unforeseen occurrences requiring extensive transport deployment to support and relieve victims. Sometimes, this transportation is not feasible directly from some supply points to some destination points. Due to this tragedy, it is unclear precisely what is available at supply...

Background: The Multi Depot Pickup and Delivery Problem with Time Windows and Heterogeneous Vehicle Fleets (MDPDPTWHV) is a strongly practically oriented routing problem with many real-world constraints. Due to its complexity, solution approaches with sufficiently good quality ideally contain...

The fog computing paradigm is promising for deploying various delay-sensitive Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The resource-constrained fog devices restrict the number of application deployments due to a lack of efficient resource estimation and discovery mechanisms for various emergent...

A mutualism of nature-inspired algorithms, the Bald Eagle Search Algorithm (BESA) with the Crow Search Algorithm (CSA), is proposed for Gaussian Mixture Model optimisation in the speaker verification framework. BESA simulates bald eagles' hunting behaviour, whereas CSA simulates crows'...
