Overview of Harmony Search (HS) Algorithm for Green Manufacturing Industries

Abstract

The successful optimization process of machining parameters is significantly important to the green manufacturing industries. However, the optimization process of machining problem is difficult to solve using conventional optimization techniques. Hence, the computational approach methodology such as Harmony Search (HS) is considered as an alternative way for optimization process in manufacturing industries. This paper discusses the overview of Harmony Search (HS) to optimize the machining parameters in machining process. Example of previous works that applied HS algorithm in machining optimization problems are also discussed.
