The design of reinforced earth retaining walls is a combinatorial optimization problem of interest due to practical applications regarding the cost savings involved in the design and the optimization in the amount of CO 2 emissions generated in its construction. On the other hand, this problem presents important challenges in computational complexity since it involves 32 design variables; therefore we have in the order of 10 20 possible combinations. In this article, we propose a hybrid algorithm in which the particle swarm optimization method is integrated that solves optimization problems in continuous spaces with the db-scan clustering technique, with the aim of addressing the combinatorial problem of the design of reinforced earth retaining walls. This algorithm optimizes two objective functions: the carbon emissions embedded and the economic cost of reinforced concrete walls. To assess the contribution of the db-scan operator in the optimization process, a random operator was designed. The best solutions, the averages, and the interquartile ranges of the obtained distributions are compared. The db-scan algorithm was then compared with a hybrid version that uses k-means as the discretization method and with a discrete implementation of the harmony search algorithm. The results indicate that the db-scan operator significantly improves the quality of the solutions and that the proposed metaheuristic shows competitive results with respect to the harmony search algorithm.

Machining optimization problem aims to optimize machinery conditions which are important for economic settings. The effective methods for solving these problems using a finite sequence of instructions can be categorized into two groups; exact optimization algorithm and meta-heuristic algorithms. A well-known meta-heuristic approach called Harmony Search Algorithm was used to compare with Particle Swarm Optimization. We implemented and analysed algorithms using unconstrained problems under different conditions included single, multi-peak, curved ridge optimization, and machinery optimization problem. The computational outputs demonstrated the proposed Particle Swarm Optimization resulted in the better outcomes in term of mean and variance of process yields.

As of late number of meta based heuristic algorithms are suggested to fill in as the premise of test era technique (where shows the interaction strength) embracing  with Simulated Annealing (SA), Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), Cuckoo Search (CS), Genetic Algorithms (GA), Harmony Search (HS) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). Albeit helpful methodologies are requiring particular area learning so as to permit successful tuning before great quality arrangements can be gotten. The multi-target molecule swarm optimization, and multithreading is utilized to overwhelm the compound judgement criteria for an ideal arrangement. The procedure and its related algorithms are assessed broadly utilizing diverse benchmarks and examinations. In our proposed technique test cases are advanced by utilizing Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (PSO). At that point the streamlined test cases are organized by utilizing to enhanced Cuckoo Search algorithm (ECSA). As the quantity of inserted systems increments quickly, there has been developing interest for the utilization of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) for some requests. At last, the enhanced outcome will be assessed by programming quality measures.
