In combinatorial solution spaces Iterated Local Search (ILS) turns out to be exceptionally successful. The question arises: is ILS also capable of improving the optimization proces...
In this paper, two block-based texture methods are proposed for content-based image retrieval (CBIR). The approaches use the Local Binary Pattern (LBP) texture feature as the sourc...
Production planning is an important task in manufacturing systems. We consider a real-world capacitated lot-sizing problem (CLSP) from the process industry. Because the problem re...

Deformable contours are now widely used in image segmentation, using different models, criteria and numeric schemes. Some theoretical comparisons between few deformable model met...
