Identification Of Patterns In Genetic-Algorithm-Based Solutions For Optimization Of Process-Planning Problems Using A Data Mining Tool, Dowluru Sreeramulu
Identification Of Patterns In Genetic-Algorithm-Based Solutions For Optimization Of Process-Planning Problems Using A Data Mining Tool, Dowluru Sreeramulu
International Journal of Applied Management and Technology
This paper presents a novel use of data mining algorithms for extraction of knowledge from a set of process plans. The purpose of this paper is to apply data mining methodologies to explore the patterns in data generated by genetic-algorithm-generating process plans and to develop a rule set planner, which helps to make decisions in odd circumstances. Genetic algorithms are random-search algorithms based on the mechanics of genetics and natural selection. Because of genetic inheritance, the characteristics of the survivors after several generations should be similar. The solutions of a genetic algorithms for process planning consists of the operation sequence …
Diversity And Job Satisfaction: Reconciling Conflicting Theories And Findings, Douglas Campbell
Diversity And Job Satisfaction: Reconciling Conflicting Theories And Findings, Douglas Campbell
International Journal of Applied Management and Technology
This is a multidisciplinary study on reconciling the conflicting theories and research concerning whether a person’s gender, race, or ethnicity affects his or her overall job satisfaction or degree of satisfaction with any element of the job. A disciplined baseline survey was performed. Statistical techniques, including a stepwise regression, were used to identify significant relationships. The findings and observations resolve what had appeared to be conflicting theories and research findings. The author concludes that in some instances, a legitimate correlation between gender, race, or ethnicity and job satisfaction or the degree of satisfaction with a particular job element may be …
