Abstract

Abstract This paper presents a novel metaheuristic algorithm called queuing search (QS), which is inspired from human activities in queuing. Some common phenomena are considered in QS: (1) customers actively follow the queue that provides fast service; (2) each customer service is mainly affected by the staff or customer itself; and (3) a customer can be influenced by others during the service when the queue order is not strictly maintained. The performance of QS is tested on 30 bound-constrained benchmark functions scalable with 30 and 100 dimensions from CEC 2014, 5 standard and 4 challenging constrained engineering optimization problems. Meanwhile, comparisons are performed among the results of QS and some state-of-the-art or well-known metaheuristic algorithms.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
