A COMPARITIVE STUDY OF NEAREST NEIGHBOUR ALGORITHM AND GENETIC ALGORITHM IN SOLVING TRAVELLING SALESMAN PROBLEM Ajaz Ahmed Khan Electronics and communication department SSGI FET Bhilai, India ajz70277@gmail.com Mrs. Himani Agrawal Electronics and communication department SSGI FET Bhilai, India Abstract—In this paper, we have used two algorithms, i.e. the Nearest Neighbor algorithm and Genetic Algorithm to solve the Travelling Salesman problem. The Travelling Salesman…

With a computer science degree from Harvard, Tony knew how to write code, and he decided to try a similarly algorithmic approach to creating culture. He devised a Ten-Commandments-type list (Exhibit III) that included such tenets as, “Be Humble”, “Create fun and a little weirdness” and “Build open and honest relationships with communication.” From that moment, those core values have driven all key decisions – from hiring to customer relationships to, most recently, downsizing. Tony explained,…

Figure 7.9: Quality Assurance by process management Jidoka Many people have equated Jidoka with simply automation. Jidoka is made of two words. The Japanese defines automation as simply a machine that moves itself (which is Jido). However, Jidoka refers to automation with a “human touch”. Jidoka provides machines and operators with the ability, apart from automation, to detect an abnormality that has occurred and to stop the operation immediately. Otherwise, the machine should safely stop…

All the Troubles of the World and The Minority Report are two short stories that predict the future to prevent crime and wrongdoings in their two societies. The two stories, while very different, have many similarities. Together, they both raised many ideas or questions like, “Is having technology that predicts the future going to benefit the society?” and “How much harm is too much harm for the benefit of the rest of society?” The Minority Report and All the Troubles of the World make use of…

Vonnegut subtly presents a biographical sketch of the eponymous character EPICAC in his short story EPICAC where he attributes human traits to a computer which is far from being a human. It is the writer’s careful choosing of diction and the pouring forth of human emotions upon the subject that transforms EPICAC from the state of a mere computer to that of a man. Vonnegut is successful in creating his character to the extent that the non-human entity at times appears to be the ‘most human of all…

In the July 2017 issue of Reason, the article, “Are Robots Going To Steal Our Jobs?” written by Ronald Bailey elaborates how technology is not killing our employment, but evolving and improving it. Bailey explains that for centuries people have worried that advances in technology would cause problems with unemployment; however, every time, more jobs seem to be created. He states that humans will always work, but that jobs might differ from what they are now. Pointing out another issue skeptics…

The Technological singularity, when computer/human interfaces will become so advanced they’ll be known as superhumanly intelligent, shares the same concept in the book BlindSight by Peter Watts published in 2008. “Maybe the singularity happened years ago. We just don’t want to admit we were left behind” (BlindSight 50). In the book BlindSight, technology faces a new interchange that elaborates on how technology and humans come with inlays that adorn insertions and surpasses the intellectual…

The hoverboard is a fairly new invention and has been known by many names, such as the hoverboard, sagway, and self-balancing board. Hoverboard looks very similar to a typical skateboard, in the respect that it operates on two wheels (See Figure 1). However, unlike a typical skateboard, hoverboards operate electronically instead of manually. Since the appearance of hoverboards in the feature film Back to The Future, hoverboards have been a futuristic fantasy for millions across the world. Once…

Begley (1992) declares, “[The maps] will show . . . where in the brain cognition, feelings, language and everything else that makes us human comes from” (p. 66). This means that the brain’s structure is divided by varying thought processes, emotion, intelligence, and language, to name just a few. To further explain, Begley (1992) states, “The maps . . . will show, with the precision of the best atlas, the islands of emotion and…

In this book written by author Martin Ford in "Rise of the Robots: Technology and the Threat of a Jobless Future he talks about the threat of job loss and economic difficulties that future use of robots are putting on the workers. Do you like your job? Are you easily replaceable? What about a robot taking over your job? These robots are coming for pretty much any job from fast food to sorting boxes in a factory. Are these robots getting too smart, too flexible and too convenient? Well,…
