Abstract The Orienteering Problem (OP) has received a lot of attention in the past few
decades. The OP is a routing problem in which the goal is to determine a subset of nodes to …

A tabu search meta-heuristic has been developed and successfully demonstrated to provide
solutions to the system reliability optimization problem of redundancy allocation. Tabu …

In this paper, a novel method based on binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) inspired
probability is proposed to solve the camera network placement problem. Ensuring accurate …

This paper presents a mixed-integer programming formulation to find optimal solutions for
the block layout problem with unequal departmental areas arranged in flexible bays. The …

This study introduces an artificial immune system (AIS) based algorithm to solve the unequal
area facility layout problem (FLP) with flexible bay structure (FBS). The proposed clonal …

In this paper, a probabilistic tabu search (PTS) approach is proposed to solve the facility
layout problem (FLP) with unequal area departments. For the representation, the flexible bay …

The facility layout problem (FLP) with unequal area departments is a very hard problem to
be optimally solved. In this article, a hybrid particle swarm optimization (PSO) and local …

The cyclic facility layout problem (CFLP) is a special case of the dynamic facility layout
problem (DFLP) in which there are several production periods and the production cycle …

This paper studies an unequal area layout problem whose objective is to find a flexible bay
layout with the best shortest single loop. The problem can be used for production systems in …

In this paper, an ant colony optimisation approach is proposed to solve the facility layout
problem with unequal area departments and flexible bays, which is one of the commonly …
