This paper reconsiders the travelling tournament problem, a complex sport-scheduling application which has attracted significant interest recently. It proposes a population-based...
This paper proposes two modifications to the geometrically deformable template model. First, the optimization stage originally based on simulated annealing is replaced with a meta...
We apply the method known as simulated annealing to the following problem in convex optimization: minimize a linear function over an arbitrary convex set, where the convex set is ...
In this paper we discuss the design of optimization algorithms for cognitive wireless networks (CWNs). Maximizing the perceived network performance towards applications by selectin...
In this paper, we review parallel search techniques for approximating the global optimal solution of combinatorial optimization problems. Recent developments on parallel implementa...
