摘要

The combined optimization problem of resource production and allocation is considered. The spatial character of the problem is emphasized and cellular modeling is introduced. First a new enhanced harmony search algorithm is applied combined with cellular concepts. Then another new approach is presented involving a cellular automaton combined with harmony search. This second approach renders solutions with greater compactness, a desirable characteristic in spatial optimization. The two algorithms are compared and discussed.
