Abstract. In order to escape from local optima, it is standard practice to periodically restart a genetic algorithm according to some restart criteria/policy. This paper addresses ...
Abstract. This paper describes a hybrid grouping genetic algorithm for a multiprocessor scheduling problem, where a list of tasks has to be scheduled on identical parallel processo...
Crossover operators that preserve common components can also preserve representation level constraints. Consequently, these constraints can be used to beneficially reduce the sea...
Optimization problems such as resource allocation, job-shop scheduling, equipment utilization and process scheduling occur in a broad range of processing industries. This paper pr...
