چکیده
The chapter presents a general view of parallel meta-heuristics for optimization. It recalls the main concepts and strategies in designing parallel meta-heuristics and identifies trends and promising research directions. The focus is on cooperation-based strategies, which display remarkable performances, in particular strategies based on asynchronous exchanges and the creation of new information out of exchanged data to enhance the global guidance of the search.

A Taxonomy of Cooperative Search Algorithms
A lot of heuristic approaches have been explored in the last two decades in order to tackle large size optimization problems. These areas include parallel meta-heuristics, hybrid meta-heuristic, and cooperative search algorithms. Different taxonomies have been proposed in the literature for parallel and hybrid meta-heuristics. In these taxonomies, one can realize that cooperative search algorit...
متن کاملA bi-objective model for a scheduling problem of unrelated parallel batch processing machines with fuzzy parameters by two fuzzy multi-objective meta-heuristics
This paper considers a bi-objective model for a scheduling problem of unrelated parallel batch processing machines to minimize the makespan and maximum tardiness, simultaneously. Each job has a specific size and the data corresponding to its ready time, due date and processing time-dependent machine are uncertain and determined by trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. Each machine has a specific capacity,...
متن کاملA New Hybrid Meta-Heuristics Approach to Solve the Parallel Machine Scheduling Problem Considering Human Resiliency Engineering
This paper proposes a mixed integer programming model to solve a non-identical parallel machine (NIPM) scheduling with sequence-dependent set-up times and human resiliency engineering. The presented mathematical model is formulated to consider human factors including Learning, Teamwork and Awareness. Moreover, processing time of jobs are assumed to be non-deterministic and dependent to their st...
متن کاملEffective heuristics and meta-heuristics for the quadratic assignment problem with tuned parameters and analytical comparisons
Quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is a well-known problem in the facility location and layout. It belongs to the NP-complete class. There are many heuristic and meta-heuristic methods, which are presented for QAP in the literature. In this paper, we applied 2-opt, greedy 2-opt, 3-opt, greedy 3-opt, and VNZ as heuristic methods and tabu search (TS), simulated annealing, and pa...
متن کاملThree Meta-heuristic Algorithms for the Single-item Capacitated Lot-sizing Problem (RESEARCH NOTE)
This paper proposes a mixed integer programming model for single-item capacitated lot-sizing problem with setup times, safety stock, demand shortages, outsourcing and inventory capacity. Due to the complexity of problem, three meta-heuristics algorithms named simulated annealing (SA), vibration damping optimization (VDO) and harmony search (HS) have been used to solve this model. Additionally, ...
