Dynamic multi-swarm particle swarm optimizer with harmony search
(Expert Systems with Applications, 2011)
In this paper, the dynamic multi-swarm particle swarm optimizer (DMS-PSO) is improved by hybridizing it with the harmony search (HS) algorithm and the resulting algorithm is abbreviated as DMS-PSO-HS. We present a novel ...
A discrete artificial bee colony algorithm for the permutation flow shop scheduling problem with total flowtime criterion
(2010 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence, WCCI 2010 - 2010 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation, CEC 2010, 2010)
Very recently, Jarboui et al. [1] (Computers & Operations Research 36 (2009) 2638-2646) and Tseng and Lin [2] (European Journal of Operational Research 198 (2009) 84-92) presented a novel estimation distribution algorithm ...
Solving lot-streaming flow shop scheduling problems using a discrete harmony search algorithm
(2010 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence, WCCI 2010 - 2010 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation, CEC 2010, 2010)
The harmony search (HS) algorithm is one of the recent evolutionary computation techniques to solve optimization problems. To make it applicable for lot-streaming flow shop problems, a discrete variant of the HS algorithm ...
