: Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a class of metaheuristic algorithms sharing the common approach of constructing a solution on the basis of information provided both by a standar...
Various tasks in decision making and decision support require selecting a preferred subset of items from a given set of feasible items. Recent work in this area considered methods...

Abstract: Recently, there have been significant theoretical progresses towards fixed-parameter algorithms for the DOMINATING SET problem of planar graphs. It is known that the prob...
Abstract. The maximum diversity problem (MDP) consists of identifying optimally diverse subsets of elements from some larger collection. The selection of elements is based on the d...
