For half a century since computers came into existence, the goal of finding elegant and efficient algorithms to solve "simple" (welldefined and well-structured) problems ...
Abstract. A methodology is presented for tackling mixed-integer nonlinear optimization problems by local search, in particular large-scale real-life problems. This methodology is i...
The problem of multiple sequence alignment is one of the most important problems in computational biology. In this paper we present a new method that simultaneously performs multi...

We consider the problem of finding a door along a wall with a blind robot that neither knows the distance to the door nor the direction towards of the door. This problem can be so...
A family of recombination operators is studied in this work. These operators are based on keeping and using certain information about the past evolution of the algorithm to guide t...
