Determining the distribution of heavy metals in groundwater is important in developing appropriate management strategies at mine sites. In this paper, the application of artificial intelligence (AI) methods to data analysis,namely artificial neural network (ANN), hybrid ANN with biogeography-based optimization (ANN-BBO), and multi-output adaptive neural fuzzy inference system (MANFIS) to estima...

Biogeography-Based Optimization (BBO) is a recently conceived bio-inspired optimization technique and population based evolutionary algorithm (EA). It mainly uses the idea of probabilistically sharing features between solutions based on the solutions’ fitness values. Due to this feature, its exploitation ability is good. In this paper, we have demonstrated the performance of BBO for block motio...

The increasing number of vehicles on the road produces negative effects for health, environment, quality life, and economy, among other areas. To address this problem, an important key is carpooling private from different homes to a common destination. This paper specifically addresses long-term which NP-complete problem. proposed approach modified biogeography-based optimization metaheuristic,...

Emergency transportation plays a vital role in the success of disaster rescue and relief operations, but its planning and scheduling often involve complex objectives and search spaces. In this paper, we conduct a survey of recent advances in bio-inspired meta-heuristics, including genetic algorithms (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), ant colony optimization (ACO), etc., for solving emerge...

This paper proposed a novel technique based on biogeography-based optimization (BBO) algorithm in order to optimal placement and sizing of distinct types of Distributed Generation (DG) units in the distribution networks which is applied to improve voltage profile as the main factor for power quality improvement and reduce power losses. In order to promote the investigation to be capable in prac...

Biogeography-based optimization (BBO) algorithm is a new kind of optimization technique based on biogeography concept. This population-based algorithm uses the idea of the migration strategy of animals or other species for solving optimization problems. In this paper, the BBO algorithm is developed for flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSP). It means that migration operators of BBO are dev...
