Abstract:
The Cornish Colony (1895 - 1920) was a group of artists, writers, actors, musicians and public figures attracted to the rural beauty of Cornish, New Hampshire. The colony developed into a social and innovative community of common interests and artistic values that included over 75 artists who shared a love of classical traditions in literature and art. Colony Members included: Augustus Saint-Gardens, Thomas Dewing, Charles Adams Platt, Louis Evan Shipman, Juliet Barrett Rublee, Maxfield Parrish, Lucia Fairchild Fuller, Percy MacKaye and Winston Churchill.

Traffic signal control is an effective way to improve the efficiency of traffic networks and reduce users’ delays. Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a metaheuristic based on the behavior of ant colonies searching for food.

This thesis investigates the application of ACO to minimize user delay at traffic intersections.

In data mining, classifiers are generated to predict the class labels of the instances. An ensemble is a decision making system which applies certain strategies to combine the predictions of different classifiers and generate a collective decision. Previous research has empirically and theoretically demonstrated that an ensemble classifier can be more accurate and stable than its component classifiers in most cases. Stacking is a well-known ensemble which adopts a two-level structure: the base-level classifiers to generate predictions and the meta-level classifier to make collective decisions.

The ant colony optimization (ACO) metaheuristic is inspired by the foraging behaviour of real ant colonies. Similarly with other metaheuristics, ACO suffers from stagnation behaviour, where all ants construct the same solution from early stages. In result, the solution quality may be degraded because the population may get trapped on local optima. In this thesis, we propose a novel approach, called direct communication (DC) scheme, that helps ACO algorithms to escape from a local optimum if they get trapped.

In practical application, such as watering-cart, sweeper, network wiring, or painting cars, we will encounter the issue of “Capacitated Arc Routing Problem, CARP”. To reducing labor costs and increasing efficiency in such issues is very important. We always refers to two kinds of vehicle services, and the sequence questions. The conceptual specif

碩士<br>中原大學<br>工業與系統工程研究所<br>97<br>In recent years, there have been more and more critical financial market crises, which have caused the subject of risk management to be taken a great deal more seriously. In general, Value-at-Risk is a tool to measure risk management, but the downside is that the risk may be underestimated under normal distribution. Therefore, we use Extreme Value Theory to estimate the Value-at-Risk. Unfortunately, this does not conform to the characteristic of risk measure when we apply the Valueat- Risk to a portfolio problem. The current method can only be resolved by an e

In the CUDA programming model, the programmers can simply implement parallelism ideas of a task on GPUs. The purpose of this paper is to accelerate Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) for Traveling Salesman Problems (TSP) with GPUs. In this paper, we propose a new parallel method, which is called the Transition Condition Method. Experimental results are extensively compared and evaluated on the performance side and the solution quality side. The TSP pr

However, traditional edge detection approaches always accompany with broken pieces and some important edges may then lose. In this paper, we propose an ant colony optimization based mechanism to compensate broken edges. The proposed procedure adopts several moving policies to reduce the computation time. Remainders of pheromone as compensable edges are acquired after finite iterations. Experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of our proposed edge detection improvement approach.

Ant colony optimization (ACO) is a novel meta-heuristic inspired by the foraging behavior of real ants. Though literature shows that ACO can obtain very good results for different NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems, the application of ACO to scheduling problems still remains under investigation. Hence, a series of studies of applying ant colony system (ACS), a particular heuristic of

We need a lot of storage space to store all kind of multimedia data, like audio, video, and image. If we don’t compress these multimedia data, it will be a serious load of the storage space and the transmission bandwidth. Therefore, it is an important topic to reduce the redundancy of multimedia data. Fractal Image Compression (FIC) is a kind of image compression technology.
