“…Tournament Selection (TOS) and Roulette Wheel Selection (RWS) are general ways for making a selection. It was suggested that TOS is more effective than RWS [21][22][23]; the consequence is that a reasonable answer can be reached faster.…”

“…Kritwattanakorn, et al [27] used the RWS method for the selection approach in GA and suggested not to apply mutation for machine layout problems. However, based on the suggestions given by some research [21][22][23], the TOS method seems to be superior in finding a solution qualitatively (for instance, minimizing the total material handling cost) and obtain answers faster and closer to the optimum. In our paper presented initially to a conference [28], we related to the research of Kritwattanakorn, et al [27] that not to apply mutation, used TOS for selection, and showed how to deal with the vagueness of information and assist solving problems taken from earlier research works [25,26].…”

Improved Antlion Optimizer Algorithm and Its Performance on Neuro Fuzzy Inference System

“…After the announcement of the ALO, the scientists have begun working on its applications, on its imrovements and applied it to some optimization problems. Some of the optimization problems that work with ALO are Proportional -Integral (PI), Proportional -Integral -Derivative (PID), and Proportional -Integral -Derivative Plus Second Order Derivative (PID + DD) optimal controller design [28], optimal solution of non-convex and dynamic economic load dispatch problem of electric power system [10], optimal process plan according to all alternative manufacturing resources [27], optimal load dispatch problem [25], optimal route planning of unmanned aerial vehicle [36], governing loop of thermal generators [4], load frequency control of power systems [32], Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch (ORPD) problem [21], nonlinear electric economic power dispatch problem [35], adaptive identification of infinite impulse response (IIR) filters [23], parallel machine scheduling [17] and quadratic assignment problem [18].…”
