In this work the performance of several local search and metaheuristic methods is compared to previously reported work using evolutionary algorithms. The results show that while m...
This paper examines a real-world application of genetic algorithms – solving the United States Navy’s Sailor Assignment Problem (SAP). The SAP is a complex assignment problem ...

The importance of tuning a search algorithm for the specific features of the target search space has been known for quite some time. However, when dealing with multiobjective prob...
Abstract. The Frequency Assignment Problem (FAP) is a very important problem of practical interest. This work compares several evolutionary approaches to this problem, based both i...
