Abstract. Different mutation operators have been proposed in evolutionary programming. However, each operator may be efficient in solving a subset of problems, but will fail in an...
In this paper we formulate the combinatorial auction brokering problem as a Set Packing Problem (SPP) and apply a simulated annealing heuristic to solve SPP. Experimental results ...
In this paper we introduce an evolutionary algorithm for solving a copper mine planning problem. In the last 10 years this realworld problem has been tackled using linear integer p...
In the dial-a-ride problem, users formulate requests for transportation from a specific origin to a specific destination. Transportation is carried out by vehicles providing a sha...
Video on Demand (VoD) is a technology used to provide a number of programs to a number of users on request. In developing a VoD system, a fundamental problem is load balancing, wh...
