The Freeze-Tag Problem: How to Wake Up a Swarm of Robots
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...

Solving the Vehicle Routing Problem with Stochastic Demands using the Cross-Entropy Method
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...

On learning linear ranking functions for beam search
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...

A probabilistic functional crossover operator for genetic programming
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...

Solving real-valued optimisation problems using cartesian genetic programming
Classical Evolutionary Programming (CEP) and Fast Evolutionary Programming (FEP) have been applied to realvalued function optimisation. Both of these techniques directly evolve th...
