Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a stochastic search method that mimics the social behavior of real ants colonies, which manage to establish the shortest route to feeding sources a...

In this paper we present a new evolutionary method for complex-process optimization. It is partially based on principles of the scatter search methodology, but it makes use of inn...
The problem of multi-target tracking is comprised of two distinct, but tightly coupled challenges: (i) the naturally discrete problem of data association, i.e. assigning image obs...
In general, decision support is one of the main purposes of model-based analysis of systems. Response surface methodology (RSM) is an optimization technique that has been applied ...
In this paper we use policy-iteration to explore the behaviour of optimal control policies for lost sales inventory models with the constraint that not more than one replenishment...
