Conclusions
The success of hybridisation of intelligent algorithms for solving p-median problems
- A good alternative approach for replacing sophistication of conventional optimisation functions
Consideration of starting solution configuration
- A sophisticated traditional optimiser should also consider a good starting configuration issue
- A good starting solution help location optimisers converge at a good local optimum with reasonable computational costs
Vast problem spaces and solution effort
- As optimal site number increased, the hybrid intelligent optimisers can obtain better optimal solutions than conventional techniques
