Current evaluation functions for heuristic planning are expensive to compute. In numerous planning problems these functions provide good guidance to the solution, so they are wort...
Abstract. We proposed a new search heuristic using the scuba diving metaphor. This approach is based on the concept of evolvability and tends to exploit neutrality which exists in ...
We propose a new switching criterion, namely the evenness or unevenness of the distribution of variable weights, and use this criterion to combine intensification and diversificat...
Internet today, has transformed into a global information hub. The increase in its usage and magnitude have sparkled various research problems. Because of the diverse user populat...
An important challenge within hyper-heuristic research is to design search methodologies that work well, not only across different instances of the same problem, but also across di...
