— Hyper-heuristics or “heuristics to chose heuristics” are an emergent search methodology that seeks to automate the process of selecting or combining simpler heuristics in o...
Heuristics used by search algorithms are usually composed of more primitive functions which we call "features". A method for combining features is presented which is bas...
We investigate the search properties of pre-evolutionary random catalytic reaction networks, where reactions might be reversible, and replication is not taken for granted. Since it...
The parallel genetic algorithm (PGA) is a prototype of a new kind of a distributed algorithm. It is based on a parallel search by individuals all of which have the complete proble...
We present a unified heuristic, which is able to solve five different variants of the vehicle routing problem: the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW), the capacit...
