Hyper-heuristics are new approaches which aim at raising the level of abstraction when solving combinatorial optimisation problems. In this paper we introduce a new hyper-heuristi...
-- We encounter optimization problems in our daily lives and in various research domains. Some of them are so hard that we can, at best, approximate the best solutions with (meta-)...
This paper is concerned with taking an engineering approach towards the application of metaheuristic problem solving methods, i.e. heuristics that aim to solve a wide variety of p...
In this paper a hybrid algorithm to solve Irregular Strip Packing problems is presented. The metaheuristic simulated annealing is used to guide the search over the solution space ...
In this work, we explore the idea that parameter setting of stochastic metaheuristics should be considered as a multiobjective problem. The so-called “performance fronts” pres...
