The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationships with storage location assignment and location of I/O points in details in the warehouse operation planning. Dedicated storage warehouse design and three different allocation methods (throughput-to-storage ratios, space-filling...

The QWERTY keyboard layout can be very inefficient for one-finger typing on virtual keyboards since the letters in many common digrams are placed on opposite sides of the keyboard, resulting in a long finger travel. This paper reports on use of simulated annealing for finding alternate...

One of the main problems attracted researchers' attentions in recent years is Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP). This paper tends to minimize the covered distance, total travelling time, number of vehicles, delay and transportation costs, and to maximize consumers' satisfaction by utilizing...

PSO being a swarm based algorithm, can efficiently lend itself to operate on huge data. This article presents a technique that performs classification using PSO. An initial discussion is carried out describing PSO as a classifier. Three variants of PSO are proposed here; the first variant...
