An Estimation of Distribution Algorithm (EDA) is proposed to approach the Hybrid Flow Shop with Sequence Dependent Setup Times and Uniform Machines in parallel (HFSSDST-UM) proble...
This paper considers a relay-assisted bidirectional cellular network where the base station (BS) communicates with each mobile station (MS) using orthogonal frequencydivision multi...
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...
Quantum evolutionary algorithm (QEA) is proposed on the basis of the concept and principles of quantum computing, which is a classical metaheuristic algorithm for the approximate s...
Abstract. Ant colony optimization (ACO) is a metaheuristic that produces good results for a wide range of combinatorial optimization problems. Often such successful applications us...
