Constructing a fingerprint database is important to evaluate the performance of automatic fingerprint recognition systems. Because of the difficulty in collecting fingerprint sampl...
The production of specimen for microsystems or microcomponents is both, time and material-consuming. In a traditional design process the number of possible variations which can be ...

Several methods have been proposed for handling nonlinear constraints by evolutionary algorithms for numerical optimization problems; a survey paper [7] provides an overview of var...
The facility design problem is a common one in manufacturing and service industries and has been studied extensively in the literature. However, restrictions on the scope of the de...
