This paper discusses a series of recombination operators for the timetabling problem. These operators act upon a direct representation of the timetable and maintain the property of...
Several inverse problems exist in the atmospheric sciences that are computationally costly when using traditional gradient based methods. Unfortunately, many standard evolutionary ...

This paper considers the problem of minimizing the response time for a given database workload by a proper choice of indexes. This problem is NP-hard and known in the literature as...
The goal of this paper is to propose a tabu search heuristic for the car sequencing problem (CSP) used for the ROADEF 2005 international Challenge. This NP-hard problem was propos...
The Max-Min Diversity Problem (MMDP) consists in selecting a subset of elements from a given set in such a way that the diversity among the selected elements is maximized. The prob...
