Abstract
This study focuses on tuned liquid dampers (TLDs) using liquids with different characteristics optimized with the adaptive harmony search algorithm (AHS). TLDs utilize the characteristic features of the liquid to absorb the dynamic forces entering the structure and benefit from the sloshing movement and the spring stiffness created by the liquid mass. TLDs have been optimized to investigate the effect of liquid characteristics on the control by analyzing various liquids. For optimization, the memory consideration ratio (HMCR) and fret width (FW) values were adapted from the classical harmony search (HS) algorithm parameters. The TLDs were used on three types of structure models, such as single-story, 10, and 40 stories. The contribution of the liquid characteristics to the damping performance was investigated by optimizing the minimum displacement under seismic excitation. According to the results, it was understood that the liquid density and kinematic viscosity do not affect single-story structures alone. However, two characteristic features should be evaluated together. As the structure mass increases, the viscosity and density become more prominent.

Abstract
In this study, the tuned liquid damper (TLD) device was optimized by the harmony search (HS) and adaptive harmony search algorithms (AHS). Using the harmony search algorithm, seismic excitations were directed at single and ten-story structures, and TLD parameters were optimized to minimize building movement. To improve design parameters, the optimization process was repeated by adapting the design factors of the harmony search algorithm. For this purpose, both the harmony memory consideration ratio (HMCR) and fret width (FW) were gradually reduced by providing an initial value, and optimum algorithm parameters were obtained. As a result of both optimizations, in a critical seismic analysis, the displacements of the adaptive harmony search showed smaller means and standard deviations than those of the classical harmony search.

Abstract
Drastic variations in high-performance computing workloads lead to the commencement of large number of datacenters. To revolutionize themselves as green datacenters, these data centers are assured to reduce their energy consumption without compromising the performance. The energy consumption of the processor is considered as an important metric for power reduction in servers as it accounts to 60% of the total power consumption. In this research work, a power-aware algorithm (PA) and an adaptive harmony search algorithm (AHSA) are proposed for the placement of reserved virtual machines in the datacenters to reduce the power consumption of servers. Modification of the standard harmony search algorithm is inevitable to suit this specific problem with varying global search space in each allocation interval. A task distribution algorithm is also proposed to distribute and balance the workload among the servers to evade over-utilization of servers which is unique of its kind against traditional virtual machine consolidation approaches that intend to restrain the number of powered on servers to the minimum as possible. Different policies for overload host selection and virtual machine selection are discussed for load balancing. The observations endorse that the AHSA outperforms, and yields better results towards the objective than, the PA algorithm and the existing counterparts.
