⎯A new nonslicing floorplan representation, the moving block sequence (MBS), is proposed in this paper. Our idea of the MBS originates from the observation that placing blocks on...
Multi-objective optimization methods are essential to resolve real-world problems as most involve several types of objects. Several multi-objective genetic algorithms have been pro...

In this paper, we introduce a new genetic representation -- a splicing/decomposable (S/D) binary encoding, which was proposed based on some theoretical guidance and existing recom...
In this paper we consider solving a complex real life break scheduling problem. This problem of high practical relevance arises in many working areas, e.g. in air traffic control a...
Boosting is a popular way to derive powerful learners from simpler hypothesis classes. Following previous work (Mason et al., 1999; Friedman, 2000) on general boosting frameworks,...
