Water distribution network (WDN) optimization has received special attention from various technicians and researchers, mainly due to its high costs of implementation, operation and maintenance.

Abstract: Owing to high dimensionality and hence high computational cost, large-scale optimization problems (LSOPs) bring tremendous challenges to large-scale optimization algorithms (LSOAs). Faced ...

In this paper a new hybrid glowworm swarm algorithm (SAGSO) for solving structural optimization problems is presented. The structure proposed to be optimized here is a simply-supported concrete I-beam ...
