In this paper we study a large class of resource allocation problems with an important complication, the utilization cost of a given resource is private information of a profit ma...
Motivated to design a feasible optical network architecture for the future Internet, we address the question of scheduling (wavelength assignment) in an optical network. The key ch...
Adaptive Memetic Algorithms couple an evolutionary algorithm with a number of local search heuristics for improving the evolving solutions. They are part of a broad family of meta...
Stochastic Local Search (SLS) is quite effective for a variety of Combinatorial (Optimization) Problems (COP). However, the performance of SLS depends on several factors and getti...
NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems are common in real life. Due to their intractability, local search algorithms are often used to solve such problems. Since these algori...
