Military operations planning involves concurrent actions, resource assignment, and conflicting costs. Individual tasks sometimes fail with a known probability, promoting a decisio...
Combination of AI/OR methods is gaining a great deal of attention because many combinatorial problems especially in planning and scheduling areas can be solved by means of combined...
Transpose-and-Cache Branch-and-Bound (TCBB) has shown promise in solving large single machine quadratic penalty problems. There exist other classes of single machine job sequencin...
In this paper an island model is described for the unconstrained Binary Quadratic Problem (BQP), which can be used with up to 2500 binary variables. Our island model uses a master...
We show how and why using genetic operators that are applied with probabilities that depend on the fitness rank of a genotype or phenotype offers a robust alternative to the Sim...
