Hybrid metaheuristics have received considerable interest these recent years in the field of combinatorial optimization. A wide variety of hybrid approaches have been proposed in ...
Abstract. The topological design of distributed packet switched networks consists of finding a topology that minimizes the communication costs by taking into account a certain num...
In this work, we explore the idea that parameter setting of stochastic metaheuristics should be considered as a multiobjective problem. The so-called “performance fronts” pres...
The urban transit routing problem (UTRP) is NP-Hard and involves devising routes for public transport systems. It is a highly complex multiply constrained problem and the evaluati...
This paper proposes a new evolutionary region merging method in order to efficiently improve segmentation quality results. Our approach starts from an oversegmented image, which is...
