Harmony Search Applications in Industry

  • Chapter
Soft Computing Applications in Industry

Part of the book series: Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing ((STUDFUZZ,volume 226))

Introduction

In this chapter, the recently-developed music-inspired harmony search (HS) algorithm is introduced and its various industrial applications are reviewed.

The HS algorithm (Geem et al 2001) mimics the behaviors of musicians improvising to find a fantastic harmony in terms of aesthetics. Similarly, the optimization process seeks a superior vector in terms of objective function. This is the core analogy between improvisation and optimization in the HS algorithm.
