Abstract Population-based meta-heuristics are algorithms that can obtain very good results for complex continuous optimization problems in a reduced amount of time. These search al...

Operation management of underground passenger transport systems is associated with combinatorial optimization problems (known as crew and train scheduling and rostering) which bel...
Research in efficient methods for solving infinite-horizon MDPs has so far concentrated primarily on discounted MDPs and the more general stochastic shortest path problems (SSPs...

The main aim of randomized search heuristics is to produce good approximations of optimal solutions within a small amount of time. In contrast to numerous experimental results, th...

Due to computational intractability, large scale coordination algorithms are necessarily heuristic and hence require tuning for particular environments. In domains where character...
