An optimization problem that naturally arises in the study of swarm robotics is the Freeze-Tag Problem (FTP) of how to awaken a set of "asleep" robots, by having an awak...
An alternate formulation of the classical vehicle routing problem with stochastic demands (VRPSD) is considered. We propose a new heuristic method to solve the problem. The algori...
Beam search is used to maintain tractability in large search spaces at the expense of completeness and optimality. We study supervised learning of linear ranking functions for con...
The original mechanism by which evolutionary algorithms were to solve problems was to allow for the gradual discovery of sub-solutions to sub-problems, and the automated combinati...
Classical Evolutionary Programming (CEP) and Fast Evolutionary Programming (FEP) have been applied to realvalued function optimisation. Both of these techniques directly evolve th...
