Optimizing on-demand data broadcast scheduling in pervasive environments
Data dissemination in pervasive environments is often accomplished by on-demand broadcasting. The time critical nature of the data requests plays an important role in scheduling t...

Maximizing Flexibility: A Retraction Heuristic for Oversubscribed Scheduling Problems
In this paper we consider the solution of scheduling problems that are inherently over-subscribed. In such problems, there are always more tasks to execute within a given time fra...

Local Search for Heuristic Guidance in Tree Search
Recent work has shown the promise in using local-search “probes” as a basis for directing a backtracking-based refinement search. In this approach, the decision about the next...

A Memory Enhanced Evolutionary Algorithm for Dynamic Scheduling Problems
Abstract. This paper describes a memory enhanced evolutionary algorithm (EA) approach to the dynamic job shop scheduling problem. Memory enhanced EAs have been widely investigated ...

Iterated local search vs. hyper-heuristics: Towards general-purpose search algorithms
An important challenge within hyper-heuristic research is to design search methodologies that work well, not only across different instances of the same problem, but also across di...
