MODIFIED ARTIFICIAL IMMUNE SYSTEM FOR SINGLE ROW FACILITY LAYOUT PROBLEM

One of the main optimization algorithms currently available in the research field is an Artificial Immune System where abundant application s are using this algorithm for clustering and patter recognition processes. These algorithms are providing more effective optimized results in multi-model optimization problems than Genetic Algorithm. The necessity of optimization is more considerable in SRFL-[Single Row Facility system] used to optimize the cost and time. In this paper, MAIS ? [Modified Artificial Immune System] algorithm introduced newly to overcome from existing AIS. MAIS use very small size of local search on the antibodies which can improve the algorithm efficiently.
