0-1 knapsack problem is a typical NP complete problem. Shuffled frog leaping algorithm is applied successfully in many combinational optimization problems. Therefore, the paper introduces an improved shuffled frog leaping algorithm for solving 0-1 knapsack problem. It greatly reduces the searching time of shuffled frog leaping algorithm. It also effectively ameliorates the disadvantage of easil...

 In this paper, we propose a new gene selection algorithm based on Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm that is called SFLA-FS. The proposed algorithm is used for improving cancer classification accuracy. Most of the biological datasets such as cancer datasets have a large number of genes and few samples. However, most of these genes are not usable in some tasks for example in cancer classification....

This paper proposes Hybrid SFL-Bees Algorithm that combines strengths of Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm (SFLA) and Bees Algorithms (BA). While SFLA can find optimal solutions quickly because of directive searching and exchange of information, BA has higher random that make it easily escape local optima to find global solutions. Thus Hybrid SFL-Bees Algorithm is able to find optimal solutions q...

rainfall-runoff modeling is most important component in the water resource management of river basins. the successful application of a conceptual rainfall-runoff model depends on how well it is calibrated. the degree of difficulty in solving the global optimization method is generally dependent on the dimensionality of the model and certain of the characteristics of object function. the purpose...

Stochastic search algorithms that take their inspiration from nature are gaining a great attention of many researchers to solve high dimension and non – linear complex optimization problems for which traditional methods fails. Shuffled frog – leaping algorithm (SFLA) is recent addition to the family of stochastic search algorithms that take its inspiration from the foraging process of frogs. SF...

Reducing energy consumption is becoming very important in order to keep battery life and lower overall operational costs for heterogeneous real-time multiprocessor systems. In this paper, we first formulate this as a combinatorial optimization problem. Then, a successful meta-heuristic, called Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm (SFLA) is proposed to reduce the energy consumption. Precocity remissi...
