μ𝜃-EGF: A New Multi-Thread and Nature-Inspired Algorithm for the Packing Problem

2020 , Martínez Ríos, Félix Orlando , Marmolejo Saucedo, José Antonio , García-Jacas, César R. , Murillo-Suarez, Alfonso

In this paper, the authors present a new algorithm efficient solution to the packing problem in two dimensions. The authors propose a new heuristic using the value of the electromagnetic field to determine the best position to place a circular object in a configuration of other circular objects previously packed. Also, this algorithm simulates two processes to compact objects already placed, inspired by gravitational forces, to minimize the empty space in the container and maximizing the number of objects in the container. To determine the efficacy of this algorithm, the authors carried out experiments with twenty-four instances. Parallel computing can contribute to making decision processes such as optimization and prediction more agile and faster. Real-time decision making involves the use of solution methodologies and algorithms. For this reason the present manuscript shows an alternative for the solution of a classic industry problem that must be solved quickly. Packaging optimization can help reduce waste of container material. The material used to transport the products can reduce its environmental impact due to an efficient packaging process. Light-weighting can also be accomplished by reducing the amount of packaging material used. © Springer Nature

A new protocol based on blockchain technology for transparent operation of corporate social responsibility

2020 , Martínez Ríos, Félix Orlando , Marmolejo Saucedo, José Antonio , Abascal-Olascoaga, Gonzalo

This chapter proposes a protocol based on blockchain technology applied to corporate social responsibility (CSR). The first part discusses the characteristics associated with CSR actions and the main difficulties its development faces, such as transparency, security, fault tolerance, among others. Subsequently, the authors describe the characteristics and concepts related to blockchain-based developments to later describe our framework for the control and development of CSR actions based on blockchain. Herein, the authors also describe how to publicly and privately identify the participating elements of CSR and the operations and resources necessary for the implementation and operation of the proposed protocol. © 2020 Emerald Publishing Limited.

A new heuristic algorithm to solve Circle Packing problem inspired by nanoscale electromagnetic fields and gravitational effects

2018 , Martínez Ríos, Félix Orlando , Marmolejo Saucedo, José Antonio , Murillo-Suarez, Alfonso

In this paper, we present a new algorithm for the fast and efficient solution of the Packing problem in two dimensions. The packing problem consists in finding the best arrangement of objects (many geometrical forms) in a specific space called container.This new algorithm is inspired by the observations of nanometric scale electromagnetic fields. We use the electromagnetic theory of the electric field to calculate the best position to place a circular object in a configuration of other circular objects previously packing. Also, in this new algorithm we simulate two processes called »gravity» and »shaken» that compact the distribution of the objects placed in the container and allow to minimize the unoccupied space. © 2018 IEEE.

Optimization Methods, Mobile Networks and Data Analytics: Applications in Engineering and Industry 4.0 : Editorial

2020 , Marmolejo Saucedo, José Antonio , Martínez Ríos, Félix Orlando , Rodríguez Aguilar, Román

The business world is changing and demands the integration of various engineering techniques to make the operation of the system in general more efficient. Optimization, information security and a prospective business vision is essential for companies to be more productive. The application of new technological solutions to manufacturing and management processes is one of the ways through which digital transformation in the supply chain advances, on the road to industry 4.0. To achieve this, optimization techniques, soft-computing, machine learning and Big Data technologies must be combined. With this integration it is possible to work with real-time sensed data to build and simulate Digital Twins with very high precision. © Springer Nature
