This paper describes the origin and the significant contribution of the development of the hybrid simulated annealing and genetic algorithms (HSAGA) approach to obtaining global optimization. HSAGA provides an insightful way to solve complex optimization problems. It is a combination of the metaheuristic approaches of simulated annealing and novel genetic algorithms to solving a nonlinear objective function with uncertain technical coefficients in industrial production management problems. The proposed novel hybrid method is designed to search for global optimization for the nonlinear objective function and to search for the best feasible solutions to the decision variables. Simulated experiments were carried out rigorously to reflect the advantages of the method. A description of the well-developed method and the advanced computational experiment with the Matlab® technical tool is presented. An industrial production management optimization problem is solved using the HSAGA technique. The results are very promising.

The Protein Folding Problem (PFP) is a big challenge that has remained unsolved for more than fifty years. This problem consists of obtaining the tertiary structure or Native Structure (NS) of a protein knowing its amino acid sequence. The computational methodologies applied to this problem are classified into two groups, known as Template-Based Modeling (TBM) and ab initio models. In the latter methodology, only information from the primary structure of the target protein is used. In the literature, Hybrid Simulated Annealing (HSA) algorithms are among the best ab initio algorithms for PFP; Golden Ratio Simulated Annealing (GRSA) is a PFP family of these algorithms designed for peptides. Moreover, for the algorithms designed with TBM, they use information from a target protein’s primary structure and information from similar or analog proteins. This paper presents GRSA-SSP methodology that implements a secondary structure prediction to build an initial model and refine it with HSA algorithms. Additionally, we compare the performance of the GRSAX-SSP algorithms versus its corresponding GRSAX. Finally, our best algorithm GRSAX-SSP is compared with PEP-FOLD3, I-TASSER, QUARK, and Rosetta, showing that it competes in small peptides except when predicting the largest peptides.

The image registration is a very important task in image processing. In the field of medical imaging, it is used to compare the anatomical structures of two or more images taken at different time to track for example the evolution of a disease. Intensity-based techniques are widely used in the multi-modal registration. To have the best registration, a cost function expressing the similarity between these images is maximized. The registration problem is reduced to the optimization of a cost function. We propose to use neighborhood meta-heuristics (tabu search, simulated annealing) and a meta-heuristic population (genetic algorithms). An evaluation step is necessary to estimate the quality of registration obtained. In this paper we present some results of medical image registration
