— 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...
Differential evolution (DE) is well known as a simple and efficient scheme for global optimization over continuous spaces. In this paper we present two new, improved variants of D...
We describe a general approach to optimization which we term Squeaky Wheel" Optimization SWO. In SWO, a greedy algorithm is used to construct a solution which is then analyze...
Distributing spatially located heterogeneous workloads is an important problem in parallel scientific computing. We investigate the problem of partitioning such workloads (repres...
The paper presents a new genetic local search algorithm for multi-objective combinatorial optimization. The goal of the algorithm is to generate in a short time a set of approxima...
