To date, a formal Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) based metaheuristic has not been applied for solving Unequal Area Facility Layout Problems (UA-FLPs). This study proposes an Ant System (AS) algorithm for solving UA-FLPs using the Flexible Bay Structure (FBS) representation. In addition, this study pr...
