This study presents a comprehensive study on the potential and efficacy of decomposition-based multi-objective symbiotic organism search (MOSOS/D) algorithm for truss structure optimization. The investigation is carried out on five benchmark truss structures, e.g., 37-bar, 60-bar, 72-bar,...

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...

Open shop scheduling problems (OSSP) are highly significant in engineering and industry, involving critical scheduling challenges. The job type determines the duration required for material transfer between machines and remains unaffected by distance, eliminating any waiting time for transfers....

Increasing demand for miniaturized components as micro-holes with diameters ranging from a few microns to hundreds of microns used in automobile, aviation, electronics, and medical industries makes laser beam drilling (LBD) a viable option in today's manufacturing environment. The LBD processes...

Spare parts are particularly challenging to forecast due to their lumpiness and representing a significant part of companies’ expenditures, so even small improvement in new approaches can considerably reduce these items’ total inventory. This paper aims to present a new hybrid forecasting...

This paper aims to present a new hybrid forecasting method...

The number of successful cyberattacks against small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is increasing steadily, while various studies already showed that especially SMEs often lack an appropriate awareness concerning their own cyber risk exposure. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to analyze...
