Abstract:

The multi-criteria facilities layout problem can be formulated as a quadratic assignment model that can handle multiple qualitative and quantitative factors in the objective function. Some studies have shown that the techniques and tools of facilities layout problems can equally be applied for the layout design of user interface components in human-computer interface. This paper presents an alternate approach, which handles multiple qualitative and quantitative factors in a different manner separately in the objective function to obtain the initial layouts. The proposed approach also consists

A study of people solving facility layout problems was made to estimate the effects of problem features on the quality of solutions obtained by novice and experienced subjects. An empirical experiment was conducted. Three features of these problems which were systematically varied in this study were: 1. Problem size, 2. Fraction of strong inter-departmental relationships, and 3. Fraction of departments requiring a non-standard amount of floor space. Both quantitative and subjective layout evaluations were made.

Abstract:

Evolution perfected brain design by maximizing its functionality while minimizing costs associated with building and maintaining it. Assumption that brain functionality is specified by neuronal connectivity, implemented by costly biological wiring, leads to the following optimal design problem. For a given neuronal connectivity, find a spatial layout of neurons that minimizes the wiring cost. Unfortunately, this problem is difficult to solve because the number of possible layouts is often astronomically large. We argue that the wiring cost may scale as wire length squared, reducing the optimal

Abstract:

In the manufacturing industry, material handling costs account for a significant portion of total manufacturing costs, ranging from 15 % to 70 %. The efficient arrangement of facilities within a manufacturing system can reduce these costs by 10 % to 30 %. This is where the facility layout problem comes into play, which involves arranging physical spaces for multiple departments within a given space. Traditionally, the facility layout planning has been solved using intuition and the artistic skills of a human designer. However, when quantitative considerations are involved, computers have an ad

Abstract. Wind plant layout optimization is a difficult, complex problem with a large number of variables and many local minima.

Thus far, hybrid power plant optimization research has focused on system sizing. We go beyond sizing and present a practical approach to optimizing th

The selection of a proper heterogeneous network contributes to the design of various distributed systems such as grids for making an effective layout. However, the level of accuracy of such networks has not been addressed in the past. Hence, this article suggests a new topology which is more accurate and addresses the scalability problem. The experiments are conducted in Matlab and the suggested layout is generated using Network Simulator 2.3. The suggested layout is found to be more effective compared to the traditional layouts for interlinking the systems.

Abstract:

The facility layout problem is one of the fundamental production system management problems. It has a significant impact on overall system efficiency. This paper introduces a new facility layout problem that allows for choosing from multiple variants of each facility. The need for choosing the most suitable selection from the facility variants while at the same time optimizing other layout quality indicators represents a new optimization challenge. We build on our previous work where single- and multi-objective evolutionary algorithms using indirect representation were proposed to solve the fa

Abstract. Selecting a wind farm layout optimization method is difficult. Comparisons between optimization methods in different papers can be uncertain due to the difficulty of exactly reproducing the objective function. Comparisons by just a few authors in one paper can be uncertain if the authors do not have experience using each algorithm. In this work we provide an algorithm comparison for a wind farm layout optimization case study between eight optimization methods applied, or directed, by researchers who developed those algorithms or who had other experience using them.

Abstract:

The major problem with 3D room layout reconstruction is estimating the 3D room layout from a single panoramic image. In practice, the boundaries between indoor objects are difficult to define, for example, the boundary position of a sofa and a table, and the boundary position of a picture frame and a wall. We propose MreNet, a novel neural network architecture for predicting 3D room layout, which outperforms previous state-of-the-art approaches. It can efficiently model the overall layout of indoor rooms through a global receptive field and sparse attention mechanism, while prior works tended

Abstract:

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 arrangements of the letters of the English alphabet on keyboards with different number of rows, to reduce finger-travel distance for entering text. The use of simulated annealing led to arrangements of the letters on 3 × 10, 4 × 7, and 5 × 6 layouts with a lower weighted sum of finger-travel distances for all di

Abstract:

Even though graphic layout generation has attracted growing attention recently, it is still challenging to synthesis realistic and diverse layouts, due to the complicated element relationships and varied element arrangements. In this work, we seek to improve the performance of layout generation by incorporating the concept of regions, which consist of a smaller number of elements and appears like a simple layout, into the generation process. Specifically, we leverage Variational Autoencoder (VAE) as the overall architecture and decompose the decoding process into two stages. The first stage pr

Abstract:

The problem of preservation, reconstruction and conversion of historic urban layouts and historic buildings have been discussed in the article. Although some of the urban layouts and structures are not monuments by formal means, they are often being well protected by local law (Local Development Plans). Both the quantity of the original structures (very few remained original - many objects within the layout have been already converted) and the quality of the original substance and architectural layout - to little space, many elements which need reconstruction - allow to raise a question: Does

Abstract:

The facility layout design problem is concerned with determining the location of a number of facilities which optimises a prescribed objective such as profit, cost, or distance. This problem arises in many applications; for example, in design of buildings and in plant layout design. Most approaches for solving this problem are heuristic in nature and based on graph theoretic concepts. Graph theoretically, when the objective is to maximize profit, the facility layout design problem is to determine, in a given edge weighted graph G, a maximum weight planar sub graph.
