Optimization of Simulated Annealing Parameters for Bi-Criteria Multiprocessor Task Scheduling Using RSM-Grey Methodology
Abstract: AbstractSimulated Annealing (SA) has been shown as an exceptional method for finding an optimal solution to the combinatorial optimisation problems. In the present work, optimal combinations of different simulated annealing parameters have been identified by using the RSM-based grey relational analysis (GRA) for Bi-criteria multiprocessor task scheduling problem. Parameter selection is needed as SA is a meta-heuristic that does not specify all the necessary information for the optimised results. The …

Use of Multi Criteria Decision Making Methods in Assessment of Occupational Safety and Health
Abstract: Assessment of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) of process plants is an important aspect in safety management. Quantitative assessment is necessary to compare the OSH status of different plants. For this purpose, usually, an evaluation team is constituted which evaluates the OSH performance based on the available OSH related information. The evaluation team arrives at a decision through discussions and mutual agreement. However, while working in a group, there always …
