Abstract

AbstractThis paper presents an Improved Memetic Algorithm (IMA) designed to compute near-optimal solutions for the antibandwidth problem. It incorporates two distinguishing features: an efficient heuristic to generate a good quality initial population and a local search operator based on a Stochastic Hill Climbing algorithm. The most suitable combination of parameter values for IMA is determined by employing a tunning methodology based on Combinatorial Interaction Testing. The performance of the fine-tunned IMA algorithm is investigated through extensive experimentation over well known benchmarks and compared with an existing state-of-the-art Memetic Algorithm, showing that IMA consistently improves the previous best-known results.KeywordsMemetic AlgorithmsAntibandwidth ProblemCombinatorial Interaction TestingParameter Tunning
