چکیده

Assigning facilities to locations is one of the important problems, which significantly is influence in transportation cost reduction. In this study, we solve quadratic assignment problem (QAP), using a meta-heuristic algorithm with deterministic tasks and equality in facilities and location number. It should be noted that any facility must be assign to only one location. In this paper, first of all, we have been described exact methods and heuristics, which are able to solve QAP; then we have been applied a meta-heuristic algorithm for it. QAP is a difficult problem and is in NP-hard class, so we have been used honey bee mating optimization (HBMO) algorithm to solve it.This method is new and have been applied and improved NP-hard problems. It’s a hybrid algorithm from Honey-Bee Mating system, simulated annealing and genetic algorithm.

Energy Efficient Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks by Using Honey Bee Mating Optimization

Mobile Ad hoc networks (MANETs) are composed of mobile stations communicating through wireless links, without any fixed backbone support. In these networks, limited power energy supply, and frequent topology changes caused by node mobility, makes their routing a challenging problem. TORA is one of the routing protocols that successfully copes with the nodes’ mobility side effects, but it do...
