Abstract. Ant algorithms are usually derived from a stochastic modeling based on some specific probability laws. We consider in this paper a full deterministic model of "logis...
Background: We consider the problem of parameter estimation (model calibration) in nonlinear dynamic models of biological systems. Due to the frequent ill-conditioning and multi-m...

Two metaheuristic methods based on Tabu search are introduced to assign judges to individual competitions in a tournament. The complexity of the mathematical formulation accounting...
This paper uses an optimization approach to address the problem of conceptual clustering. The aim of AGAPE, which is based on the tabu-search meta-heuristic using split, merge and ...
This paper is concerned with taking an engineering approach towards the application of metaheuristic problem solving methods, i.e. heuristics that aim to solve a wide variety of p...
