Island-based harmony search for optimization problems

Optimisation of electric distribution systems: A review

“…In [128], harmony search (HS) [129] has been used for distribution system performance optimisation in the presence of DG units. HS takes inspiration from improvisation phenomenon of musicians.…”

Tournament-based harmony search algorithm for non-convex economic load dispatch problem

“…Similarly, the HS algorithm has been modified and hybridized with other efficient methods to cope with the combinatorial nature of highly constrained optimization problems [4,7,1,10,11,14]. Furthermore, the parameter-free HS [41] and population structured of HS are proposed to improve the theoretical aspects of the algorithm [2,5].…”

A dynamic multi-colony artificial bee colony algorithm for multi-objective optimization

“…The exchange of individuals is called migration and often controlled by some parameters [10]. Over the past decades, many algorithms based on island models have been proposed for singleobjective optimization problems [11][12][13][14][15][16]. It was shown by the experimental results that these algorithms not only decreased the processing time but also performed a much broader search than single-population ones.…”
