Abstract
En 中文
This paper addresses the Surgical Case Assignment Problem with an objective of minimizing the total unexploited and operating cost. A two-stage ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm is introduced and its performance is evaluated by comparing its solutions to the solutions of Branch and Bound and a global solver. The results show that ACO outperformed the other algorithms and reached better solutions in a faster computational time.
