A Two-Pronged Attack on the Dragon of Intractability
One approach to tractably finding a solution to an NP-complete optimisation problem is heuristic, where the solution is inexact but quickly found; another approach is to reduce t...

Simulation Optimization Using Balanced Explorative and Exploitative Search
We present a new random search method for solving simulation optimization problems. Our approach emphasizes the need for maintaining the right balance between exploration and expl...

A memetic algorithm for the multi-compartment vehicle routing problem with stochastic demands
The Multi-Compartment Vehicle Routing Problem (MC-VRP) consists of designing transportation routes to satisfy the demands of a set of costumers for several products that because o...

Local-search Extraction of MUSes
SAT is probably one of the most-studied constraint satisfaction problems. In this paper, a new hybrid technique based on local search is introduced in order to approximate and ext...
