This paper discusses novel dedicated hardware architecture for hybrid optimization based on Genetic algorithm (GA) and Simulated Annealing (SA). The proposed architecture achieves ...
This paper describes a GA for job shop scheduling problems. Using the Giffler and Thompson algorithm, we created two new operators, THX crossover and mutation, which better trans...

This paper proposes a hybrid genetic algorithm for multiple sequence alignment. The algorithm evolves guide sequences and aligns input sequences based on the guide sequences. It a...
This paper describes a Genetic Algorithms approach to a manpower-scheduling problem arising at a major UK hospital. Although Genetic Algorithms have been successfully used for sim...
