Motivated by parallel optimization, we experiment EDA-like adaptation-rules in the case of λ large. The rule we use, essentially based on estimation of multivariate normal algorit...
We present a unified optimal semi-online algorithm for preemptive scheduling on uniformly related machines with the objective to minimize the makespan. This algorithm works for a...
Abstract. In this paper we present a study of several Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms for the Set Covering Problem. In our computational study we emphasize the influence ...
The restarted estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) with Cauchy distribution as the probabilistic model is tested on the BBOB 2009 testbed. These tests prove that when using ...
In this article we investigate the application of iterated local search (ILS) to the single machine total weighted tardiness problem. Our research is inspired by the recently propo...
