: This paper discusses the parallelization of Stochastic Evolution (StocE) metaheuristic, for a distributed parallel environment. VLSI cell placement is used as an optimization pro...
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 ...
In this communication Simulated Annealing and Genetic Algorithms, are applied to the graph partitioning problem. These techniques mimic processes in statistical mechanics and biol...
MOEA/D is a multi-objective metaheuristic which has shown a remarkable performance when solving hard optimization problems. In this paper, we propose a thread-based parallel versio...
