La versión robusta de TSALBP considera un conjunto de escenarios de demanda y presenta funciones que miden el exceso de carga, tanto temporal como espacial, en las estaciones de trabajo de la línea. Dichas funciones pueden emplearse como funciones objetivo en el problema de optimización resultante y como métricas ante un equilibrado de línea concreto; en ambos casos, la nueva versión de TSALBP pone a disposición del decisor nuevas soluciones de equilibrado más eficientes y robustas ante una demanda incierta.

One way to achieve energy savings in buildings is to develop intelligent control strategies for heating systems that are able to reduce power consumption without affecting the thermal comfort. An intelligent control system must be able to predict the temperature of the building in order to manage the heating system. In this paper, we present a rule-based model that is able to predict the indoor temperature for different values of k (hours ahead in time). The model has been learned with FRULER, a genetic fuzzy system that generates accurate and simple knowledge bases. Our approach has been validated with real data from a residential college.

The system has an evaluation method to process multi-granular linguistic information, in such a way that the inputs to the IRS are represented in a different linguistic domain than the outputs. The system accepts Boolean queries whose terms are weighted by means of the ordinal linguistic values represented by the linguistic variable "Importance" assessed on a label set S. The system evaluates the weighted queries according to a threshold semantic and obtains the linguistic retrieval status values (RSV) of documents represented by a linguistic variable "Relevance" expressed in a different label set S'. The advantage of this linguistic IRS with respect to others is that the use of the multi-granular linguistic information facilitates and improves the IRS-user interaction

Ficha técnica: Gabinete de Presidencia CSIC y Departamento de ComunicaciónLa inteligencia artificial es uno de los mayores retos de la ciencia: lograr que una máquina tenga una inteligencia de tipo general similar a la humana. El desafío es tan ambicioso como explicar el origen de la vida, el origen del universo o conocer la estructura de la materia. Un objetivo más asequible es la inteligencia artificial específica, centrada en tareas concretas, que está impulsando una revolución tecnológica que abarca desde sistemas de aprendizaje hasta nuevos modos de producción que impactarán en el mercado de trabajo y en el modelo económico.

As the importance of each of them as the fact whether all of them are necessary will be analyzed. Besides, we will introduce a new algorithm called Best-Worst Ant Colony System by combining the basis of the Ant Colony System with the special components of the BWAS. The performance of different variants of these algorithms will be tested when solving different instances of the QAP.

We focus on the Time and Space Assembly Line Balancing problem, a more realistic variant of this family of problems considering the joint minimisation of the number of stations and their area in the assembly line configuration. The multi-objective optimisation algorithm considered is based on Ant Colony Optimisation, a research area where the consideration of multi-criteria decision making issues is still not extended. The proposed approach borrows a successful preference scheme from the evolutionary multi-objective optimisation community, which provides experts with solutions of their contextual interest in the objective space. The expressions of the considered preferences are based on the Nissan plant designer's expert knowledge and on real-world economical variables. Using the real data of the Nissan Pathfinder engine, an experimental study is carried out to obtain the most preferred solutions for the decision makers in six different Nissan scenarios.

However, the existing problem formulation does not consider the industrial scenario where the demand of a set of mixed products is variable and uncertain. In this work we propose to introduce novel robustness functions to measure how robust the line configuration is when the production plans demand changes. These functions are based on the stations overload under future demand conditions and are used as additional a posteriori information for the non-dominated solutions found by any multiobjective optimization method. The values of the robustness functions are put together with a novel graphical representation to form a generic model that aims to offer a better picture of the robustness of the set of Pareto-optimal solutions. Real data from the assembly line and production planning of the Nissan plant of Barcelona is considered for the experimentation. This information is also employed to develop a new TSALBP instance generator (NTIGen) that can generate problem instances having industrial real-like features. The use of the robustness information model is illustrated in an experimentation formed by a set of instances generated by NTIGen. Results show how the use of this robustness information model is necessary for the decision maker as it allows her/him to discriminate between different assembly line configurations when future demand conditions vary.

The framework allows decision maker interaction by means of reference points to obtain the most interesting non-dominated solutions. The principal components of the framework are the g-dominance preference scheme and a state-of-the-art memetic multiobjective ant colony optimisation approach. In addition, the framework includes a novel adaptive multi-colony mechanism to be able to handle the preferences in an interactive way. Results show how the multiobjective framework can interactively obtain the most useful solutions with higher convergence than previous a priori methods. The experimentation also makes use of original data of the Nissan Pathfinder engine and practical bounds to define industrially feasible solutions in a set of scenarios. By solving the problem in these scenarios, we show the search guidance advantages of Communicated by V. Loia.

First, the system automatically constructed a three dimensional model from a device that provides a partial view of the skull. Subsequently, the model over a photograph of the missing person overlaps, modeling uncertainty inherent in the pairing of two different objects: a skull and face. Finally, the system issues a recommendation on the outcome of the identification process the forensic anthropologist.

Recent studies have uncovered a formerly unappreciated role for proteasome-catalyzed peptide splicing (PCPS) in the generation of non-genomically templated human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I)-bound cis-spliced peptides that can be targeted by CD8 + T cells in cancer and infection. However, the mechanisms defining PCPS reactions are poorly understood. Here, we experimentally define the biochemical constraints of proteasome-catalyzed cis-splicing reactions by examination of in vitro proteasomal digests of a panel of viral-and self-derived polypeptide substrates using a tailored mass-spectrometry-based de novo sequencing workflow. We show that forward and reverse PCPS reactions display unique splicing signatures, defined by preferential fusion of distinct amino acid residues with stringent peptide length distributions, suggesting sequence-and size-dependent accessibility of splice reactants for proteasomal substrate binding pockets. Our data provide the basis for a more informed mechanistic understanding of PCPS that will facilitate future prediction of spliced peptides from protein sequences.

To solve this problem, different tools to assist the user in the query formulation have been proposed. In this paper, the genetic algorithm-programming technique is considered to build an algorithm of this kind that will be able to automatically learn weighted queries -modeling the user's needs- for a fuzzy information retrieval system by applying an off-line adaptive process starting from a set of relevant documents.

Sin embargo, éste es un proceso lento y propenso a errores por lo que su utilidad se ve reducida. El objetivo de este trabajo es proponer y validar un nuevo paradigma asistido por ordenador para comparación de radiografı́as. En concreto, se centra en reproducir de manera automática los parámetros de adquisición de la radiografı́a AM en una proyección del modelo 3D PM mediante una metodologı́a basada en el registrado de imágenes 3D-2D. Este proceso de registrado será guiado por la silueta de la estructura anatómica utilizada para identificar en la radiografı́a AM y un modelo 3D PM de la misma. El problema de optimización subyacente es complejo ya que no se puede asumir una inicialización cercana y tampoco se puede depender del valor de intensidad de los pı́xeles (enfoque tradicional en imagen médica). Para abordarlo se ha ut...
