A differential evolution algorithm for the no-idle flowshop scheduling problem with total tardiness criterion
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2011)
In this paper, we investigate the use of a continuous algorithm for the no-idle permutation flowshop scheduling (NIPFS) problem with tardiness criterion. For this purpose, a differential evolution algorithm with variable ...
Minimizing the total flow time in a flow shop with blocking by using hybrid harmony search algorithms
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2010)
In this paper, three hybrid harmony search (HS) algorithms, namely, hybrid harmony search (hHS) algorithm, hybrid globalbest harmony search (hgHS) algorithm and hybrid modified globalbest harmony search (hmgHS) algorithm, ...
A self-adaptive global best harmony search algorithm for continuous optimization problems
