In this paper, a hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm, based on imperialistic competition algorithm (ICA), harmony search … (HS), and simulated annealing (SA) is presented. The body of the proposed hybrid algorithm is based on ICA. The proposed … hybrid algorithm inherits the advantages of the process of harmony creation in HS algorithm to improve the exploitation phase …
