It covers the latest innovations and developments in information and communication technology, discussing topics such as soft computing and intelligent systems, web of sensor networks, drone operating systems, web of sensor networks, wearable smart sensors, automated guided vehicles and many more.
An Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm for Load Balancing in Parallel Machines with Sequence-Dependent Setup Times

This study introduces the problem of minimizing average relative percentage of imbalance (ARPI) with sequence-dependent setup times in a parallel-machine environment. A mathematical model that minimizes ARPI is proposed. Some heuristics, and two metaheuristics, an ant colony optimization algorithm and a genetic algorithm are developed and tested on various random data. The proposed ant colony optimizationmethod outperforms heuristics and genetic algorithm. On the other hand, heuristics using the cumulative processing time obtain better results than heuristics using setup avoidance and a hybrid rule in assignment.
