We investigate an inherent limitation of top-down decision tree induction in which the continuous partitioning of the instance space progressively lessens the statistical support o...
Combinations of evolutionary based approaches with local search have provided very good results for a variety of scheduling problems. This paper describes the development of such a...
In this paper, we introduce a generalized version of the Watchman Route Problem (WRP) where the objective is to plan a continuous closed route in a polygon (possibly with holes) a...
The Tree-of-Hubs Location Problem is studied. This problem, which combines several aspects of some location, network design and routing problems, is inspired by those transportati...
Algorithmic methods based on the theory of fixed-parameter tractability are combined with powerful computational platforms to launch systematic attacks on combinatorial problems o...
