A novel hybrid estimation of distribution algorithm for solving hybrid flowshop scheduling problem with unrelated parallel machine

The hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with unrelated parallel machine is a typical NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem, and it exists widely in chemical, manufacturing and pharmaceutical industry. In this work, a novel mathematic model for the hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with unrelated parallel machine(HFSPUPM) was proposed. Additionally, an effective hybrid estimation of distribution algorithm was proposed to solve the HFSPUPM, taking advantage of the features in the mathematic model. In the optimization algorithm, a new individual representation method was adopted. The(EDA) structure was used for global search while the teaching learning based optimization(TLBO) strategy was used for local search. Based on the structure of the HFSPUPM, this work presents a series of discrete operations. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid algorithm compared with other algorithms.

On the development of cat swarm metaheuristic using distributed learning strategies and the applications

Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to propose distributed learning-based three different metaheuristic algorithms for the identification of nonlinear systems.The proposed algorithms are experimented in this study to address problems for which input data are available at different geographic locations.In addition,the models are tested for nonlinear systems with different noise conditions.In a nutshell,the suggested model aims to handle voluminous data with low communication overhead compared to traditional centralized processing methodologies.Design/methodology/approach–Population-based evolutionary algorithms such as genetic algorithm(GA),particle swarm optimization(PSO)and cat swarm optimization(CSO)are implemented in a distributed form to address the system identification problem having distributed input data.Out of different distributed approaches mentioned in the literature,the study has considered incremental and diffusion strategies.Findings–Performances of the proposed distributed learning-based algorithms are compared for different noise conditions.The experimental results indicate that CSO performs better compared to GA and PSO at all noise strengths with respect to accuracy and error convergence rate,but incremental CSO is slightly superior to diffusion CSO.Originality/value–This paper employs evolutionary algorithms using distributed learning strategies and applies these algorithms for the identification of unknown systems.Very few existing studies have been reported in which these distributed learning strategies are experimented for the parameter estimation task.
