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,…

productivity and quality, such expense can be considered an investment. Generally, a well-executed Jidoka yields a good ROI (Return on Investment) within one year for a product or service with three to five years of life span (such rule may differ depends on circumstances). The shorter the life span of the product, the more challenging it is to obtain a good ROI. Table in figure 7.8 below describes possible levels one may implement Jidoka within a process or production line. Each of the…

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…

instead of some technical terms. Finally, at the end of the story where EPICAC bids farewell to the human world, he writes a suicide note, “Good luck, my friend. Treat our Pat well”(Vonnegut 5). It is when EPICAC voluntarily withholds himself from life that he assumes a superhuman…

1. My Professor’s definition of a computer is an electronic and or phonetic technological device repository of data and information with adaptive archival and retrieval methodologies. 2. D.I.K.I. is an algorithm developed and published by my Introduction to Technology professor, Doug Lauffer. The letter D is for Data, which is the numbers, words, pictures, or sounds that represent facts figures or ideas; the raw input that user have at the start of a job. The second letter I is for Information,…

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…

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 thought to be an imposable technology was brought to life by the inventor Shane Chen. Shane Chan worked many years as a designer for the Chinese government, however he decided that he wanted to focus on creating his on company. Chen moved to the United…

In “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” Nicholas Carr sheds light on what are the affects of internet on our brain focusing specifically on how it has changed our thinking process. He also asserts on the negative effects reading on the internet has engendered. The author expresses that sometimes he feels as if someone is tampering with his mind causing it to change. He is thinking in a much different way and he can notably experience it while reading. He can’t really concentrate on reading and his…
