چکیده

Metaheuristics are generic search strategies that can be adapted to solve complex problems. This paper describes in simple terms the most popular metaheuristics for combinatorial optimization problems. It also emphasizes the main contributions of the Canadian research community in the development and application of metaheuristics.

Policy Capacity for Health Reform: Necessary but Insufficient; Comment on “Health Reform Requires Policy Capacity”

Forest and colleagues have persuasively made the case that policy capacity is a fundamental prerequisite to health reform. They offer a comprehensive life-cycle definition of policy capacity and stress that it involves much more than problem identification and option development. I would like to offer a Canadian perspective. If we define health reform as re-orienting the health system from acut...

OPTIMAL DECOMPOSITION OF FINITE ELEMENT MESHES VIA K-MEDIAN METHODOLOGY AND DIFFERENT METAHEURISTICS

In this paper the performance of four well-known metaheuristics consisting of Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), Biogeographic Based Optimization (BBO), Harmony Search (HS) and Teaching Learning Based Optimization (TLBO) are investigated on optimal domain decomposition for parallel computing. A clique graph is used for transforming the connectivity of a finite element model (FEM) into that of the cor...

Hidden Markov Models Training Using Population-based Metaheuristics

In this chapter, we consider the issue of Hidden Markov Model (HMM) training. First, HMMs are introduced and then we focus on the particular HMMs training problem. We emphasize the difficulty of this problem and present various criteria that can be considered. Many different adaptations of metaheuristics have already been used but, until now, a few extensive comparisons have been performed on t...

New Approaches in Metaheuristics to Solve the Truck Scheduling Problem in a Cross-docking Center

Nowadays, cross-docking is one of the main concepts in supply chain management in which products received to a distribution center by inbound trucks which are directly to lead into outbound trucks with a minimum handling and storage costs as the main cost of a cross-docking system. According to the literature, several metaheuristics and heuristics are attempted to solve this optimization model....
