As the Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem (or FJSP) is strongly NP-hard, using an evolutionary approach to find near-optimal solutions requires effective chromosome representatio...
Abstract. This paper introduces a new technique called adaptive elitistpopulation search method for allowing unimodal function optimization methods to be extended to efficiently lo...
The joint replenishment of inventory problem (JRP) requires independence of minor ordering costs. In this paper we propose an evolutionary algorithm (EA) for a modification of the...
We introduce an approach which combines ACO (Ant Colony Optimization) and IBM ILOG CP Optimizer for solving COPs (Combinatorial Optimization Problems). The problem is modeled using...
— Since Witsenhausen put forward his remarkable counterexample in 1968, there have been many attempts to develop efficient methods for solving this non-convex functional optimiz...
