In this paper a planning framework based on Ant Colony Optimization techniques is presented. It is well known that finding optimal solutions to planning problems is a very hard co...

Internet search engines identify web pages that contain user-specified keywords, and then rank these pages according to their (heuristically assessed) relevance to the user’s qu...
Adaptive Memetic Algorithms couple an evolutionary algorithm with a number of local search heuristics for improving the evolving solutions. They are part of a broad family of meta...
We introduce the Spacing Memetic Algorithm (SMA), a formal evolutionary model devoted to a systematic control of spacing (distances) among individuals. SMA uses search space dista...

We describe a scheme for solving Energy Minimization problems, which is based on the A∗ algorithm accomplished with appropriately chosen LP-relaxations as heuristic functions. Th...
