This paper deals with a realistic variant of flowshop scheduling, namely the hybrid flexible flowshop. A hybrid flowshop mixes the characteristics of regular flowshops and paralle...
In this paper, we perform a comparative study of different heuristics used to design combinational logic circuits. The use of local search hybridized with a genetic algorithm and ...

The particle swarm optimization algorithm was showed to converge rapidly during the initial stages of a global search, but around global optimum, the search process will become ve...

Abstract. Consultant-Guided Search (CGS) is a recent swarm intelligence metaheuristic for combinatorial optimization problems, inspired by the way real people make decisions based ...
We consider a real-world problem arising in a warehouse for spare parts. Items ordered by customers shall be collected and for this purpose our task is to determine efficient picku...
