A parameter-less adaptive penalty scheme for steady-state genetic algorithms applied to constrained optimization problems is proposed. For each constraint, a penalty parameter is a...
This study investigates an optimization-based heuristic for the Robotic Cell Problem. This problem arises in automated cells and is a complex ow shop problem with a single transpo...

Utility functions can be used to represent the value users attach to job completion as a function of turnaround time. Most previous scheduling research used simple synthetic repre...
In [15] we introduced the information landscape as a new concept of a landscape. We showed that for a landscape of a small size, information landscape theory can be used to predic...
Due to their excellent performance in solving combinatorial optimization problems, metaheuristics algorithms such as Genetic Algorithms (GA), Simulated Annealing (SA) and Tabu Sea...
