It is common in algorithm courses to assess the correctness of algorithms via testing as well as conducting experiments to measure their run-time performance. However, two severe problems must be addressed: both activities are conducted using different procedures and tools, and algorithm assessment systems do not support well optimization problems due to their unique characteristics. Given the relevant role of optimization algorithms in computing, we present a unified framework to support experimentation with both criteria, that is, optimality and efficiency. The contributions of the article are twofold. First, we present a unified framework to experiment with both criteria, by using explicit principles and by presenting its instantiation in the AlgorEx system. The homogeneous treatment of optimality and time efficiency contributes to smoother integration of experimentation into a course syllabus and to easier adoption of the system. Second, we present our experience in several academic years in an algorithm course. Initially, it was noticed that students had severe difficulties dealing with experimentation, but their academic performance sharply increased by fully integrating experimentation along the complete course. The article also identifies some opportunities for extension in AlgorEx.

This study proposes a novel design to systematically optimize the parameters for the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model using stochastic fractal search (SFS) algorithm. To affirm the efficiency of the proposed SFS-ANFIS model, the predicting results were compared with ANFIS and three hybrid methodologies based on ANFIS combined with genetic algorithm (GA), differential evolution (DE), and particle swarm optimization (PSO). Accurate prediction of uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is of great significance for all geotechnical projects such as tunnels and dams. Hence, this study proposes the use of SFS-ANFIS, GA-ANFIS, DE-ANFIS, PSO-ANFIS, and ANFIS models to predict UCS. In this regard, the fresh water tunnel of Pahang-Selangor located in Malaysia was considered and the requirement data samples were collected. Different statistical metrics such as coefficient of determination (R-2) and mean absolute error were used to evaluate the models. Referring to the efficiency results of SFS-ANFIS, it can be found that the SFS-ANFIS (with the R-2 of 0.981) has higher ability than PSO-ANFIS, DE-ANFIS, GA-ANFIS, and ANFIS models in predicting the UCS.

The paper presents a method that allows the thickness of a compact bone layer and longitudinal wave velocity in the bone to be determined simultaneously with the use of reflected waves, with particular emphasis on the case of layers when the layer thickness is of the same order as the ultrasonic wavelength. This paper presents the use of optimization methods for estimation the thickness of a layer using inverse method. The studied structure is a multilayer structure composed of two layers solid and porous material. To solve the inverse problem, a multi-layer model and ultrasonic signals obtained from cortical and cancellous bone phantoms by the reflection method was used. The genetic algorithm implemented in the Matlab® package optimization Toolbox applied to find solution the optimization problem. The results of simulation and experiments demonstrate that the thickness of layer was obtained with good accuracy.

We study the problem of scheduling in manufacturing environments which are dynamically reconfigurable for supporting highly flexible individual operation compositions of the jobs. We show that such production environments yield the simultaneous process design and operation sequencing with dynamically changing hybrid structural-logical constraints. We conceptualize a model to schedule jobs in such environments when the structural-logical constraints are changing dynamically and offer a design framework of algorithmic development to obtain a tractable solution analytically within the proven axiomatic of the optimal control and mathematical optimization. We further develop an algorithm to simultaneously determine the process design and operation sequencing. The algorithm is decomposition-based and leads to an approximate solution of the underlying optimization problem that is modeled by optimal control. We theoretically analyze the algorithmic complexity and apply this approach on an illustrative example. The findings suggest that our approach can be of value for modeling problems with a simultaneous process design and operation sequencing when the structural and logical constraints are dynamic and interconnected. Utilizing the outcomes of this research could also support the analysis of processing dynamics during the operations execution.

Sidelobe calculation is a common procedure in phased array synthesis. However, the traditional sidelobe calculation method through pattern simulation and peak searching costs a large amount of time. In this letter, we derive a formula for fast sidelobe level calculation in arbitrary 2-D phased arrays. The formula describes the relationship between sidelobe (change throughout the article) level and the element feeding excitations. The result of numerical experiments shows that the proposed method is as accurate as the search method. When applying our formula in a genetic algorithm for sidelobe suppression, the proposed method consumes 0.1% of the computing time compared with the search method in a nonuniformly distributed array of 50 elements.
