Meta-heuristics such as simulated annealing, genetic algorithms and tabu search have been successfully applied to many difficult optimization problems for which no satisfactory pro...
Abstract. The topological design of distributed packet switched networks consists of finding a topology that minimizes the communication costs by taking into account a certain num...
This paper proposes a new evolutionary region merging method in order to efficiently improve segmentation quality results. Our approach starts from an oversegmented image, which is...
Several constraint handling techniques have been proposed to be used with the evolutionary algorithms (EAs). According to the no free lunch theorem, it is impossible for a single c...
The problem of finding a high quality timetable for personnel in a hospital ward has been addressed by many researchers, personnel managers and schedulers over a number of years. ...
