和声搜索算法改进与应用

Modifications and Applications of Harmony Search Algorithm

和声搜索算法是最近出现的一种模拟音乐演奏过程的全局搜索元启发式算法,目前已经有许多改进版本,并被大量用于优化和工程实践问题中。首先描述了原始和声搜索算法的特点和流程,然后对和声搜索算法繁多的变种及其应用领域进行了梳理和分类,最后指出和声搜索算法的未来研究方向。

Harmony search(HS)algorithm mimicking the improvisation process of music players is a new metaheuristic approach for global optimization.Many researchers have proposed lots of modified versions of the original HS and applied them to a wide range of optimization problems.Firstly,the original HS is introduced.Secondly,these variants of HS algorithms and their applications are reviewed.Finally some future research lines are given.
