A well-studied problem in the electric power industry is that of optimally scheduling preventative maintenance of power generating units within a power plant. We show how these pr...
— We present a new representation for individuals in problems that have cyclic permutations as solutions. To demonstrate its usefulness, we analyze a simple randomized local sear...
Multi-agent systems are widely used to address large-scale distributed combinatorial applications in the real world. One such application is meeting scheduling (MS), which is de...
In recent years, the size of combinatorial applications and the need to produce high-quality solutions quickly have increased steadily, providing significant challenges for optim...
The application of spectral methods to the software clustering problem has the advantage of producing results that are within a known factor of the optimal solution. Heuristic sea...
