Simulation optimization (SO) is the process of finding the optimum design of a system whose performance measure(s) are estimated via simulation. We propose some ideas to improve o...
Developing dispatching rules for manufacturing systems is a tedious process, which is time- and cost-consuming. Since there is no good general rule for different scenarios and ob...
Retrieving music from large digital databases is a demanding computational task. The cost for indexing and searching depends not only on the computational effort of measuring music...
Interactive evolutionary computation (IEC) has proven useful in a variety of applications by combining the subjective evaluation of a user with the massive parallel search power o...
