We propose a new heuristic for the solution of the quadratic assignment problem. The heuristic combines ideas from tabu search and genetic algorithms. Run times are very short comp...
Abstract: The production of commercial DNA microarrays is based on a light-directed chemical synthesis driven by a set of masks or micromirror arrays. Because of the natural proper...
Using a recently proposed model for combinatorial landscapes, Local Optima Networks (LON), we conduct a thorough analysis of two types of instances of the Quadratic Assignment Prob...
Many heuristics, such as simulated annealing, genetic algorithms, greedy randomized adaptive search procedures are stochastic. In this paper, we propose a deterministic heuristic a...
We describe the Enhanced Evolutionary Tabu Search (EE-TS) local search technique. The EE-TS metaheuristic technique combines Reactive Tabu Search with evolutionary computing eleme...
