Combining and solving sequence dependent traveling salesman and quadratic assignment problems in PCB assembly
(Elsevier, 2015-09-10)In this study we undertake the optimization of chip shooter component placement machines which became popular in assembling printed circuit boards (PCB) in recent years. A PCB is usually a rectangular plastic board on which ... -
Metaheuristic approaches for maximum blood collection problem
Thanks to recent technological and medical advances, blood components can now be extracted from whole blood after a donation. One of such components is the platelet, which has a wide range of uses in medical fields, including ... -

Migrating birds optimization: a new metaheuristic approach and its performance on quadratic assignment problem
(Elsevier, 2012-12-25)We propose a new nature inspired metaheuristic approach based on the V flight formation of the migrating birds which is proven to be an effective formation in energy saving. Its performance is tested on quadratic assignment ... -
