Title
A multi-objective harmony search algorithm to optimize multi-server location-allocation problem in congested systems.
Abstract
•A novel bi-objective multi-server location–allocation model is developed.•Capacity and budget limitations are provided to make the problem more realistic.•Multi-objective harmony search algorithm is developed to solve the presented model.•A new presentation scheme that satisfies most of the model constraints is proposed.•The parameters of all algorithms are calibrated by Taguchi method using a novel metric.
