Abstract. An optimization problem arising in the design of optical fibre networks is discussed. A network contains client nodes, each installed on one or more SONET rings. A const...
During the optimization of a constrained problem using evolutionary algorithms (EAs), an individual in the population can be described using three important properties, i.e., obje...
A common practice in conceptual modeling is to separate the conceptual from the data model. Although very intuitive, this approach is inadequate for many complex domains, in which...
