Abstract. Iterated local search (ILS) is a powerful meta-heuristic algorithm applied to a large variety of combinatorial optimization problems. Contrary to evolutionary algorithms ...
This paper deals with the Permutation Flow Shop scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing total flow time, and therefore reducing in-process inventory. A new hybrid meta...
Research into ant colony algorithms for solving continuous optimization problems forms one of the most significant and promising areas in swarm computation. Although traditional an...
In recent decades, many meta-heuristics, including genetic algorithm (GA), ant colony optimization (ACO) and various local search (LS) procedures have been developed for solving a...
