Heuristic forward search is the dominant approach to satisficing planning to date. Most successful planning systems, however, go beyond plain heuristic search by employing various...
This work describes a new way of employing problem-speciļ¬c heuristics to improve evolutionary algorithms: the Population Training Heuristic (PTH). The PTH employs heuristics in ļ...
Problem solvers, both human and machine, have at their disposal many heuristics that may support effective search. The efficacy of these heuristics, however, varies with the probl...
In this paper, we review parallel search techniques for approximating the global optimal solution of combinatorial optimization problems. Recent developments on parallel implementa...

The bin packing problem (BPP) is a real-world problem that arises in diļ¬erent industrial applications related to minimization of space or time. The aim of this research is to au...
