A local-best harmony search algorithm with dynamic subpopulations
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2010)
This article presents a local-best harmony search algorithm with dynamic subpopulations (DLHS) for solving the bound-constrained continuous optimization problems. Unlike existing harmony search algorithms, the DLHS algorithm ...
An ensemble of discrete differential evolution algorithms for solving the generalized traveling salesman problem
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2010)
In this paper, an ensemble of discrete differential evolution algorithms with parallel populations is presented. In a single populated discrete differential evolution (DDE) algorithm, the destruction and construction (DC) ...
An iterated local search algorithm for distributed assembly permutation flowshop problem
(Chinese Control Conference, CCC, 2020)
Nowadays, the distributed assembly permutation flowshop problem (DAPFSP) has important applications in practice. In this paper, we propose a group iterated local search (gILS) algorithm to solve the problem with total ...
An Iterated Greedy Algorithm for Distributed Blocking Flowshop Problems with Makespan Minimization
(Chinese Control Conference, CCC, 2020)
In this paper, we study a distributed blocking flowshop scheduling problem (DBFSP) that is an extension of the traditional blocking flowshop scheduling problem (BFSP), in which an additional decision of which factory to ...
A New Heuristic for PCBs Grouping Problem with Setup Times
(Chinese Control Conference, CCC, 2020)
In this paper, we present a new heuristic to divide a batch of printed circuit boards (PCBs) into subgroups to save the setup time for loading and unloading components from the assembly machine. In the heuristic, we propose ...
An energy-efficient permutation flowshop scheduling problem
(Expert Systems with Applications, 2020)
The permutation flowshop scheduling problem (PFSP) has been extensively explored in scheduling literature because it has many real-world industrial implementations. In some studies, multiple objectives related to production ...
A discrete event simulation procedure for validating programs of requirements: The case of hospital space planning
(SoftwareX, 2020)
This paper introduces a Discrete-Event Simulation (DES) tool developed as a parametric CAD program for validating a program of requirements (PoR) for hospital space planning. The DES model simulates the procedures of ...
An improved discrete artificial bee colony algorithm for the distributed permutation flowshop scheduling problem with preventive maintenance
(Chinese Control Conference, CCC, 2020)
The distributed permutation flowshop scheduling problem with preventive maintenance operator (PM/DPFSP) is closely related to modem industry. This paper presents an improved discrete artificial bee colony (IDABC) algorithm ...
NEH-Based heuristics for the distributed blocking flowshop with makespan criterion
(Chinese Control Conference, CCC, 2020)
The distributed blocking flowshop scheduling problem (DBFSP) that is an important generalization of the traditional blocking flowshop scheduling problem (BFSP), in which the blocking constraint has to be considered. The ...
An energy-efficient bi-objective no-wait permutation flowshop scheduling problem to minimize total tardiness and total energy consumption
(Computers and Industrial Engineering, 2020)
In manufacturing scheduling, sustainability concerns that raise from the service-oriented performance criteria have seldom been studied in the literature. This study aims to fill this gap in the literature by integrating ...
