The packet routing problem, i.e., the problem to send a given set of unit-size packets through a network on time, belongs to one of the most fundamental routing problems with impor...
Abstract. Nowadays genetic algorithms stand as a trend to solve NPcomplete and NP-hard problems. In this paper, we present a new hybrid metaheuristic which uses Parallel Genetic Al...
The scheduling of exams in institutions of higher education is known to be a highly constrained problem. The advent of modularity in many institutions in the UK has resulted in a s...
