Inspired by Darwinian evolution, a genetic algorithm (GA) approach is one of the popular heuristic methods for solving hard problems, such as the Job Shop Scheduling Problem (JSSP...
In this paper we present control patterns for the analysis and design of administrative control mechanisms in a network organization. A control pattern is a description of a generi...

In this paper an island model is described for the unconstrained Binary Quadratic Problem (BQP), which can be used with up to 2500 binary variables. Our island model uses a master...
In this paper, a novel discrete differential evolution (DDE) algorithm is presented to solve the permutation flowhop scheduling problem with the makespan criterion. The DDE algori...

We consider the Bounded Diameter Minimum Spanning Tree problem and describe four neighbourhood searches for it. They are used as local improvement strategies within a variable nei...
