A new algorithm called Enhanced Continuous Tabu Search (ECTS) is proposed for the global optimization of multiminima functions. It results from an adaptation of combinatorial Tabu...
We develop and analyze an algorithm to maximize the throughput of a serial kanbanbased manufacturing system with arbitrary arrival and service process distributions by adjusting t...
In this paper we address the problem of constrained optimization (ILP formulation) and propose a set of heuristic algorithms for assigning light-trails [1–4,7,10] to WDM ring ne...
Some distributed constraint optimization algorithms use a linear number of messages in the number of agents, but of exponential size. This is often the main limitation for their pr...
This work deals with the application of metaheuristics to the fuel consumption minimization problem of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) considering exactly specified driving cycles....
