An Estimation of Distribution Algorithm (EDA) is proposed to approach the Hybrid Flow Shop with Sequence Dependent Setup Times and Uniform Machines in parallel (HFSSDST-UM) proble...
Multimodal optimization problems consist in detecting all global and local optima of a problem. A new evolutionary approach to multimodal optimization called Roaming technique (RO...
We propose a protocol for a local search and a genetic algorithm for the distributed traveling salesman problem (TSP). In the distributed TSP, information regarding the cost funct...
: - This paper introduces the main ideas of the nested partitions (NP) method, analyses its efficiency theoretically and proposes the way to improve the optimization efficiency of ...
We describe a preliminary implementation of the high-level modelling language Zinc. This language supports a modelling methodology in which the same Zinc model can be automatically...
