Abstract Hybrid meta-heuristics algorithms have gained popularity in recent years to solve t-way test suite generation problems due better exploration and exploitation capabilities of the hybridization. This paper presents implementation meta-heuristic search that are Migrating Birds Optimization (MBO) algorithm Genetic Algorithm (GA) hybrid a data strategy. The proposed strategy is called Elit...

The aim of this study is to present a hybrid algorithm based on two meta-heuristic algorithms named Vibration Damping Optimization (VDO) algorithm and Genetic Algorithm (GA) for solving the stochastic capacitated location-allocation problem. For solving the model more efficiently, the simplex algorithm, stochastic simulation and the proposed hybrid algorithm are integrated to design a powerful ...

This paper presents a new mathematical model for a hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with multiprocessor tasks in which sequence dependent set up times and preemption are considered. The objective is to minimize the weighted sum of makespan and maximum tardiness. Three meta-heuristic methods based on genetic algorithm (GA), imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) and a hybrid approach of GA a...

tower cranes are major and expensive equipment that are extensively used at building construction projects and harbors for lifting heavy objects to demand points. the tower crane locating problem to position a tower crane and supply points in a building construction site for supplying all requests in minimum time, has been raised from more than twenty years ago. this problem has already been so...

We present a hybrid solver (called GELATO) that exploits the potentiality of a Constraint Programming (CP) environment (Gecode) and of a Local Search (LS) framework (EasyLocal++). GELATO allows the user to easily develop and use hybrid meta-heuristic combining CP and LS phases (in particular Large Neighborhood Search). We tested some hybrid algorithms on different instances of the Asymmetric Tr...

The barrel vaults are composed of member elements arranged on a cylindrical surface. This kind of structure is utilized to cover the long spans. In this paper, the hybrid charge system search and particle swarm optimization algorithm is improved and utilized to optimal design of single-layer barrel vault frames. Some modifications on parameter values are performed to enhance the performance of ...

In the multiprocessing embedded framework the productive utilization of the on-chip and off-chip memory code repositioning is done. For the purpose of improvement in the embedded system the SPM and cache is used for the code processing. The code layout is developed to place the code in memory for preventing the cache conflicts and misses. Even though many researchers have illustrated the use of...
