Efficient Parallel Sorting for Migrating Birds Optimization When Solving Machine-Part Cell Formation Problems
Table 5
Conceptual similarity of MBO metaheuristic and V-shape natural migration of birds.
| Parameter description | Concept in real migration birds in V-formation |
| The number of initial solutions of the flock. | Birds in V-formation. | The number of neighboring solutions generated for each initial solution. | The induced power required which is inversely proportional to the speed. | The number of neighboring solutions shared with the next solution. | Wing-tip spacing (WTS). | The number of tours. | The number of wing flaps before a change occurs in the leading bird. | The number of iterations (total number of generated neighbor solutions). | There is no conceptual relationship. |
