"This book of research chapters explores the technology, uses, and implementation of genetic programming and algorithms across multiple industries creating a fundamental understanding of this technology, and how genetic programming and algorithms are implemented in fields such as healthcare,...

The use of optimization process is a much-needed step in the field of construction today. But optimization is not being used very efficiently in structural engineering. Weight optimization is one of the structural optimization processes which optimizes the weight of the material used in the...

The study addresses a Quadratic Assignment Model (QAP) of the Facility Layout Problem (FLP). The proposed mathematical model minimizes the frequency of material handling among the facilities of manufacturing system subjected to production derived constraints. A genetic algorithm (GA)-based...

In this paper, we use Genetic Algorithms to find the Minimum Dominating Set (MDS) of Unit Disk Graphs (UDG). UDGs are used for modelling Ad-Hoc networks and finding MDS in such graphs is a promising approach to clustering the wireless Ad-Hoc networks. The MDS problem is proved to be...

Portfolio selection problem is a major subject in finance where investors deal with selecting satisfying portfolio which is composed of a vast number of risky assets, under some restricting criteria that are defined by themselves. Asset prices can be effected from different events, such as...
