A hybrid method of evolutionary algorithms is introduced in this study. The hybrid method includes two additional operations, acceleration and migrating operations. These two oper...
This paper describes two experiments exploring the potential of the Kriging methodology for constrained simulation optimization. Both experiments study an (s, S) inventory system ...

We use a lexicographical preference order on the problem space to combine solution synthesis with conflict learning. Given two preferred solutions of two subproblems, we can either...
In this paper we consider a wireless network, where each transceiver is equipped with a directional antenna, and study two direction assignment problems, determined by the type of...
Symmetry in constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) has been considered in two fundamentally different ways: as an operation preserving the solutions of a CSP instance, or as an o...
