A Hybrid Coral Reefs Optimization – Variable Neighborhood Search Approach for the Unequal Area Facility Layout Problem
2020
IEEE Access
INDEX TERMS Coral reefs optimization, meta-heuristics, relaxed flexible bay structure, unequal area facility layout problem, variable neighborhood search. 134042 This work is licensed under a Creative ...
To solve these issues, in this paper we propose a novel hybrid meta-heuristic approach, which combines a Coral Reefs Optimization algorithm (CRO) with a Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) and a new representation ...
