A parallel harmony search algorithm with dynamic harmony-memory size
2013 25th Chinese Control and Decision Conference (CCDC), 2013Inspired by the concept of swarm intelligence, a parallel harmony search algorithm with dynamic harmony-memory size (PDHS) is presented to solve unconstrained problems. The PDHS algorithm has two significant operations: Harmony Memory (HM) grouping and Harmony Memory Size (HMS) updating.

Harmony Search Algorithm: Strengths and Weaknesses
Journal of Computer Engineering & Information Technology, 2013Harmony Search Algorithm: Strengths and Weaknesses For better understanding the metaheuristic algorithms, a detailed analysis of their search mechanism will be very important. This study concentrates on the search mechanism of a powerful metaheuristic algorithm, namely, Harmony Search (HS) algorithm. To optimize different optimization problems, the HS

Structural Optimization Using Harmony Search Algorithm
2010The paper presents the Structural optimization based on the New Harmony Search (HS) meta-heuristic algorithm. HS was conceptualized using the musical process of searching for a perfect state of harmony. The HS algorithm does not require initial values and uses a random search instead of a gradient search.

A Harmony Search Algorithm Comparison with Genetic Algorithms
2014We describe in this paper a Harmony Search (HS) Algorithm and their areas of application, variants and comparison with other existing algorithms. HS is a metaheuristic music inspired algorithm used to solve a wide range of optimization problems applied to different areas, which has been very successful as indicated by the literature.

Harmony Search Algorithm for Solving Sudoku
2007Harmony search (HS) algorithm was applied to solving Sudoku puzzle. The HS is an evolutionary algorithm which mimics musicians' behaviors such as random play, memory-based play, and pitch-adjusted play when they perform improvisation. Sudoku puzzles in this study were formulated as an optimization problem with number-uniqueness penalties.
