Variable Neighbourhood Search (VNS) is one of the most recent metaheuristics used for problem solving in which a systematic change of neighbourhood within a local search is carried...
—In this paper, the performance of dynamic multi-swarm particle swarm optimizer (DMS-PSO) on the set of benchmark functions provided for the CEC2008 Special Session on Large Scal...
The scheduling of social golfers has attracted significant attention in recent years because of its highly symmetrical and combinatorial nature. In particular, it has become one o...
Recent work has shown the promise in using local-search “probes” as a basis for directing a backtracking-based refinement search. In this approach, the decision about the next...
