The quadratic assignment problem (QAP) has considered one of the most significant
combinatorial optimization problems due to its variant and significant applications in real life …

Hyper-heuristics (HH) emerged as more generalized and robust solutions for combinatorial
optimization, being successfully addressed to solve several real-world problems …

Abstract The Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP) is an example of combinatorial
optimization problem and it belongs to NP-hard class. QAP assigns interconnected facilities …

Particle swarm optimization algorithm is based on the natural behavior of fish schooling or
