Metaheuristic algorithms based automated evaluation method for public investment projects
Yılmaz, Tüluğ Figen; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2014)
The public investment projects are essential to improve the state economy prosperously and to improve life of people. In spite of high need for public investment projects, resources are limited. So, there has been increased requirement on the accountability and efficiency of the public investment projects. To overcome these issues, project performance evaluation systems are needed. Scientific and reasonable performance measurement can be utilized in these systems to evaluate public investment projects. A se...
Metamodeling atomic models in discrete event system specification (devs) formalism using multivariate adaptive regression splines (mars)
Bozağaç, Cumhur Doruk; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Batmaz, İnci; Department of Computer Engineering (2014)
Computer simulations are widely used for design optimization purposes. The problem becomes challenging when design variables are high dimensional and when the simulation is computationally expensive. In this work we propose a methodology for metamodeling of dynamic simulation models via Multivariate Adaptive Regres sion Splines (MARS). To handle incomplete output processes, where the simulation model does not produce an output in some steps due to missing inputs, we have devised a two-level metamodeling sch...
Metaheuristic Based Automated Evaluation Method for Public Investment Project
Yılmaz, Tulug Figen; Karagöz, Pınar (null; 2015-09-25)
The public investment projects are essential to improve the state economy and life of people. Since the resources are limited, developing automated project performance evaluation systems are required. In this work, we propose a metaheuristic algorithm based approach for automated project evaluation. Project evaluation involves selecting the attributes effective for evaluation, determining the weights of the selected attributes and determining cut-off values for project evaluation. In the attribute selection...
Metaheuristic based backcalculation of rock mass parameters around tunnels
Gedik, Görkem; Pekcan, Onur; Department of Civil Engineering (2018)
Due to uncertainities in the ground conditions and the complexity of soil-structure interactions, the determination of accurate ground parameters, which are not only used in tunnel construction but in the design of all underground structures, have a great significance in having structures that are cost-efficient. Backcalculation methods which rely not only on laborotory and field tests but also on field monitoring and field data provide real structure conditions and therefore it is gaining popularity in geo...
Metaheuristics in structural optimization and discussions on harmony search algorithm
Saka, M. P.; Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Geem, Z. W. (2016-06-01)
Metaheuristic algorithms have provided efficient tools to engineering designers by which it became possible to determine the optimum solutions of engineering design optimization problems encountered in every day practice. Generally metaheuristics are based on metaphors that are taken from nature or some other processes. Because of their success of providing solutions to complex engineering design optimization problems the recent literature has flourished with a large number of new metaheuristics based on a ...
