An adaptive cuckoo optimization algorithm for system design optimization under failure dependencies
(SAGE Publications, 2019) Mellal, Mohamed Arezki; Zio, Enrico
This article presents an algorithm for optimal redundancy and repair team allocation with respect to minimum system cost and a system availability constraint. Four scenarios are considered for the failures occurring in the subsystems of the system: independence, linear dependence, weak dependence, and strong dependence. An adaptive cuckoo optimization algorithm is developed for solving the nonlinear integer optimization problem of allocation. A series–parallel system with six subsystems is considered as a case study for demonstration purposes. The results obtained highlight the good performance of the developed algorithm
