This paper presents a novel approach for asynchronous cooperative hyper-heuristic incorporated with particle swarm optimisation which inspired by social individual behaviour of swarm intelligence, like bird flocking and fish schooling. The proposed hyper-heuristic algorithm starts with a complete so...
