Abstract. The paper focuses on the efficiency of the hybrid evolutionary algorithm (HEA) for solving the global optimization problem arising in electronic imaging. The particular v...
We consider complex scheduling problems that can be captured as optimization under hard and soft constraints. The objective of such an optimization problem is to satisfy as many h...
This paper presents a hybrid algorithm that combines local search and constraint programming techniques to solve a network routing problem. The problem considered is that of routi...
