Inspired by Darwinian evolution, a genetic algorithm (GA) approach is one of the popular heuristic methods for solving hard problems, such as the Job Shop Scheduling Problem (JSSP...
The Cell Formation Problem is a crucial component of a cell production design in a manufacturing system. This problem consists of a set of product parts to be manufactured in a gr...

This paper deals with the challenging problem of counting the number of solutions of a CSP, denoted #CSP. Recent progress have been made using search methods, such as BTD [15], whi...
We propose a variation of the standard genetic algorithm that incorporates social interaction between the individuals in the population. Our goal is to understand the evolutionary...
