In engineering design the use of approximation models (= surrogate models) has become standard practice for design space exploration, sensitivity analysis, visualization and optimi...

We present the first local approximation schemes for maximum independent set and minimum vertex cover in unit disk graphs. In the graph model we assume that each node knows its geo...
Although many real-world stochastic planning problems are more naturally formulated by hybrid models with both discrete and continuous variables, current state-of-the-art methods ...

One of the major difficulties when applying Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms (MOEA) to real world problems is the large number of objective function evaluations. Approximate...
: Concrete mix design is a process of proportioning the ingredients in right proportions. Though it is based on sound technical principles and heuristics, the entire process is not...
