Constraint-Based Combinators for Local Search
Abstract. One of the most appealing features of constraint programming is its rich constraint language for expressing combinatorial optimization problems. This paper demonstrates t...

Subthreshold-Seeking Behavior and Robust Local Search
Subthreshold-seeking behavior occurs when the majority of the points that an algorithm samples have an evaluation less than some target threshold. We characterize sets of functions...

Parallel Tabu Search in a Heterogeneous Environment
In this paper, we discuss a parallel tabu search algorithm with implementation in a heterogeneous environment. Two parallelization strategies are integrated: functional decomposit...

Improving Genetic Algorithms by Search Space Reductions (with Applications to Flow Shop Scheduling)
Crossover operators that preserve common components can also preserve representation level constraints. Consequently, these constraints can be used to beneficially reduce the sea...
