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 the Minimum Linear Arrangement (MinLA) problem is studied within the framework of memetic algorithms (MA). A new dedicated recombination operator called Trajectory Cr...

The main purpose of this study is to find out a good solution to the vehicle routing problem considering heterogeneous vehicles. This problem tries to solve the generation of paths...
This paper describes a multi-objective memetic approach for solving multi-objective flexible process sequencing problems in flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs). FMS can be des...
