Of course, from childhood to forever, we are always thought to love reading. It is not only reading the lesson book but also reading everything good is the choice of getting new inspirations. Religion, sciences, politics, social, literature, and fictions will enrich you for not only one aspect. Having more aspects to know and understand will lead you become someone more precious. Yea, becoming ...

In this paper, a hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm, based on imperialistic competition algorithm (ICA), harmony search (HS), and simulated annealing (SA) is presented. The body of the proposed hybrid algorithm is based on ICA. The proposed hybrid algorithm inherits the advantages of the process of harmony creation in HS algorithm to improve the exploitation phase of the ICA algorithm. In addition...

This paper proposes a hybrid harmony search algorithm that incorporates method of reinitializing harmonies memory using particle swarm optimization with an improved opposition-based learning (IOBL) to solve continuous problems. allows the obtain better results by increasing space solutions. approach has been validated comparing performance proposed state-of-the-art algorithm, solving fifteen st...

Due to the fact that the error surface of adaptive infinite impulse response (IIR) systems is generally nonlinear and multimodal, the conventional derivative based techniques fail when used in adaptive identification of such systems. In this case, global optimization techniques are required in order to avoid the local minima. Harmony search (HS), a musical inspired metaheuristic, is a recently ...

The potential of Harmony Search Algorithm (HSA) which is an optimization technique presented a few years ago, has encouraged scientists from various fields to solve complex, large scale problems. Because of its successful implementations, it is considered as a robust optimization tool and publications regarding its applications show a remarkable increase. In the present paper, along with a brie...
