This paper presents a genetic algorithm (GA) with specialized encoding, initialization and local search genetic operators to optimize communication network topologies. This NPhard...
In continuous black-box optimization, various stochastic local search techniques are often employed, with various remedies for fighting the premature convergence. This paper surve...
When searching the space of possible plans for combined planning and scheduling problems we often reach a local maximum and must either backtrack or otherwise modify the plan to m...
Abstract. This paper engineers a new state-of-the-art Stochastic Local Search (SLS) for the Low Autocorrelation Binary Sequence (LABS) problem. The new SLS solver is obtained with ...
Stochastic local search (SLS) algorithms have recently been proven to be among the best approaches to solving computationally hard problems. SLS algorithms typically have a number...
