Disk scheduling using a customized discrete firefly algorithm

This study empirically investigates the usage of a customized discrete firefly algorithm (DFA) for ordering the disk requests to minimize the total access time. The procedure simulates the movement of each firefly within a population towards others using a variation of edge-based mutation. The algor...
