This paper describes an optimisation methodology that has been specifically developed for engineering design problems. The methodology is based on a Tabu search (TS) algorithm that has been shown to find high quality solutions with a relatively low number of objective function evaluations. Whilst the methodology was originally intended for a small range of design problems it has since been successfully applied to problems from different domains with no alteration to the underlying method. This paper describes the method and its application to three different problems. The first is from the field of structural design, the second relates to the design of electromagnetic pole shapes and the third involves the design of turbomachinery blades.
Floor space optimization is a critical revenue management problem commonly encountered by retailers. It maximizes store revenue by optimally allocating floor space to product categories which are assigned to their most appropriate planograms. We form
The goal of quantum circuit transformation is to map a logical circuit to a physical device by inserting additional gates as few as possible in an acceptable amount of time. We present an effective approach called TSA to construct the mapping. It con
Application of the multi-objective particle swarm optimisation (MOPSO) algorithm to design of water distribution systems is described. An earlier MOPSO algorithm is augmented with (a) local search, (b) a modified strategy for assigning the leader, an
In this paper, we give explicit descriptions
This paper mainly investigates the circular open dimension problem (CODP), which consists of packing a set of circles of known radii into a strip of fixed width and unlimited length without overlapping. The objective is to minimize the length of the
