This paper introduces a new social metaheuristic for the Max-Cut problem applied to a weighted undirected graph. This problem consists in finding a partition of the nodes into two ...
While most software defects (i.e., bugs) are corrected and tested as part of the lengthy software development cycle, enterprise software vendors often have to release software pro...

Abstract. In this paper, we propose an approach for solving hierarchical multi-objective optimization problems (MOPs). In realistic MOPs, two main challenges have to be considered:...
This research applies the meta-heuristic method of ant colony optimization (ACO) to an established set of vehicle routing problems (VRP). The procedure simulates the decision-maki...
Many problems in practically all fields of science, engineering and technology involve global optimization. It becomes more and more important to develop the efficient global opti...
