On-line Scheduling via Sampling
1 We consider the problem of scheduling an unknown sequence of tasks for a single server as the tasks arrive with the goal off maximizing the total weighted value of the tasks serv...

Statistical analysis of heuristics for evolving sorting networks
Designing efficient sorting networks has been a challenging combinatorial optimization problem since the early 1960’s. The application of evolutionary computing to this problem ...

Forward-Tracking: A Technique for Searching Beyond Failure
In many applications, such as decision support, negotiation, planning, scheduling, etc., one needs to express requirements that can only be partially satisfied. In order to expres...

Symmetric approximate linear programming for factored MDPs with application to constrained problems
A weakness of classical Markov decision processes (MDPs) is that they scale very poorly due to the flat state-space representation. Factored MDPs address this representational pro...

Comparison of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms in optimizing combinations of reinsurance contracts
Our paper concerns optimal combinations of different types of reinsurance contracts. We introduce a novel approach based on the Mean-Variance-Criterion to solve this task. Two sta...
