Hi Nima H.Ensaniyat,

Thanks for the useful definitions for the heuristic & meta-heuristic and the interesting link!

The Genetic algorithm should be considered for your problem

Thanks Mr Trung,

I'm working with Tabu search and PSO as the main solutions. If you have some references for genetic algorithm, please share it!

Thanks for you advices!

Dear Mr VIET

It is better to write to you in Vietnamese.

But in this forum let me write in English.

There are some Vietnamese documents on Genetic Algorithm, which you may find in Saigon or CanTho.

I can send to you some Master's thesis concerning with Optimal design of structures.

If you like, please send me your email address.

Thanks

Dear Mr Trung,

Thanks for your promises about the Master's thesis and I hope can study from your experiences. My email is [email protected], please contact by this address.

Thank You and Best Regards,

Viet
