Reduced-Complexity and Robust Surface Water Path Delineation for Large Real-World Terrain Using Boundary Element Method by Ajalawit Chantaveerod, Kampol Woradit, Andrew Seagar, Thunyawat Limpiti

“…To reduce the complexity, we propose the framework integrating the enhanced algorithm with pre-processing that reduces the input data size from very long contours by transforming those contours into the closed paths, exploited by the enhanced algorithm to delineate SWPs with the numerical BEM-based solution. The results show the framework’s ability to successfully delineate the forward SWPs from hilltops to reservoirs over a real-world large-terrain DEM image and to depict the drainage networks flowing into real rivers. …”

Group Size and Group Performance in Small Collaborative Team Settings: An Agent-Based Simulation Model of Collaborative Decision-Making Dynamics by Shun Cao, Neil G. MacLaren, Yiding Cao, Jason Marshall, Yingjun Dong, Francis J. Yammarino, Shelley D. Dionne, Michael D. Mumford, Shane Connelly, Robert W. Martin, Colleen J. Standish, Tanner R. Newbold, Samantha England, Hiroki Sayama, Gregory A. Ruark

“…However, in the long run, larger groups outperformed smaller groups for the problem with medium complexity and equally well for the problem with low complexity because larger groups developed higher solution diversity. For the problem with high complexity, the higher solution diversity led to more disagreements which in turn hindered larger groups’ collaborative problem-solving ability. …”

Structural Parameter Identification Using Multi-Objective Modified Directional Bat Algorithm by LIU Li-jun, LIN Ying-hai, SU Yong-hui, LEI Ying

“…While DBA has been effective for various optimization problems， it is prone to issues such as premature convergence and suboptimal exploration of the solution space. MOMDBA addressed these limitations through three key improvements： 1） Individual Historical Best Position Tracking： This feature allowed the algorithm to retain and utilize the best individual solutions encountered during the search process， improving its ability to explore the solution space effectively. 2） Hybrid Global-Local Search Strategy： By combining global exploration with local exploitation， MOMDBA enhanced its ability to converge towards optimal solutions while avoiding local optima. 3） Elimination Mechanism： To maintain population diversity and prevent stagnation， low-performing individuals were periodically replaced with new solutions. …”
