Introduction to Invasive Weed Optimization Technniques



The Invasive Weed Optimization Technique (IWOT) is a metaheuristic algorithm inspired by the invasive growth patterns of weeds in nature. This algorithm was first introduced by Mehrabian and Lucas in 2006 as a novel approach to solving complex optimization problems. IWOT aims to mimic the competitive and adaptive behavior of weeds, which allows them to efficiently colonize new areas and survive in harsh environments. By emulating this natural phenomenon, IWOT has proven to be highly effective in finding optimal solutions for a wide range of problems across various fields. 

The origin of IWOT can be traced back to the study of biological systems and their ability to adapt and thrive in challenging conditions. The development of this technique involved extensive research and experimentation to understand the underlying principles of weed growth and apply them to optimization problems. Over time, IWOT has evolved and been refined through the integration of mathematical models and computational algorithms, making it a powerful tool in solving complex optimization problems. 

This video tutorial aims to introduce the IWOT in layman's terms.

Simple Decision Making Tool following the AHP Technique

In recent years,different objective methods are applied to identify the best option from the available set of alternative for solving a given decision making problem.Analytical Hierarchical Process or AHP is one of such method which is mostly applied in decision making problems where multiple criteria is considered before selecting the best solution among the available set of solutions.This tool will help to identify the best solution with the help of AHP method from a set of feasible solutions to solve the given decision making problem. Suppose we want to select the best location for installation of a hydro power plant. Such kind of power plant require sufficient amount of flow at a regular frequency throughout the year.The interconnection length or the distance between the two banks of the river must also within the suitable limit. So Amount and Frequency of Flow including the Interconnection Length of the available locations can be selected as the Criteria by which the availab
