Description
Summary:This paper presents a hybrid algorithm to solve the Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP). The proposed algorithminvolves using the Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP) to obtain an initial solution, and then using a combinedSimulated Annealing (SA) and Tabu Search (TS) algorithm to improve the solution. Experimental results indicate that the hybridalgorithm is able to obtain good quality solutions for QAPLIB test problems within reasonable computation time.
