One challenge for research in constraint-based scheduling has been to produce scalable solution procedures under fairly general representational assumptions. Quite often, the comp...
Using a recently proposed model for combinatorial landscapes, Local Optima Networks (LON), we conduct a thorough analysis of two types of instances of the Quadratic Assignment Prob...
Abstract. The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a well-known NPhard combinatorial optimization problem, for which a large variety of evolutionary algorithms are known. However, t...
This paper presents an ant-based approach for solving the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). Novel concepts of this algorithm that distinguish it from the other heuristics are the ...
An Estimation of Distribution Algorithm (EDA) is proposed to approach the Hybrid Flow Shop with Sequence Dependent Setup Times and Uniform Machines in parallel (HFSSDST-UM) proble...
