The paper describes a general glance to the use of element exchange techniques for optimization over permutations. A multi-level description of problems is proposed which is a fund...
In Genetic algorithms it is not easy to evaluate the confidence level in whether a GA run may have missed a complete area of good points, and whether the global optimum was found....
An Estimation of Distribution Algorithm (EDA) is proposed to approach the Hybrid Flow Shop with Sequence Dependent Setup Times and Uniform Machines in parallel (HFSSDST-UM) proble...
In the interference scheduling problem, one is given a set of n communication requests described by sourcedestination pairs of nodes from a metric space. The nodes correspond to d...
We show that randomization can lead to significant improvements for a few fundamental problems in distributed tracking. Our basis is the count-tracking problem, where there are k...
