Firefly Algorithm, Stochastic Test Functions and Design Optimisation [PDF]
Modern optimisation algorithms are often metaheuristic, and they are very promising in solving NP-hard optimization problems. In this paper, we show how to use the recently developed Firefly Algorithm to solve nonlinear design problems.

The Solar System Algorithm: A Novel Metaheuristic Method for Global Optimization
A novel metaheuristic algorithm for global optimization, called the Solar System Algorithm (SSA), is presented. The proposed algorithm imitates the orbiting behavior of some objects found in the solar system: i.e., Sun, planets, moons, stars, and black ...

Overview of Metaheuristic Algorithms
Metaheuristic algorithms are optimization algorithms that are used to address complicated issues that cannot be solved using standard approaches. These algorithms are inspired by natural processes such as genetics, swarm behavior, and evolution, and they are used to explore a broad search space to identify the global optimum of a problem.

Iterated-greedy-based algorithms with beam search initialization for the permutation flowshop to minimize total tardiness [PDF]
The permutation flow shop scheduling problem is one of the most studied operations research related problems. Literally, hundreds of exact and approximate algorithms have been proposed to optimise several objective functions. In this paper we address the

Two-Stage Eagle Strategy with Differential Evolution [PDF]
Efficiency of an optimization process is largely determined by the search algorithm and its fundamental characteristics. In a given optimization, a single type of algorithm is used in most applications.

On the use of biased-randomized algorithms for solving non-smooth optimization problems [PDF]
Soft constraints are quite common in real-life applications. For example, in freight transportation, the fleet size can be enlarged by outsourcing part of the distribution service and some deliveries to customers can be postponed as well; in inventory ...
