A continuous approach to considering uncertainty in facility design
This paper presents a formulation of the facilities block layout problem which explicitly considers uncertainty in material handling costs on a continuous scale by use of expected...

Overcoming hierarchical difficulty by hill-climbing the building block structure
The Building Block Hypothesis suggests that Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are well-suited for hierarchical problems, where efficient solving requires proper problem decomposition and a...

Ant colony optimization techniques for the vehicle routing problem
This research applies the meta-heuristic method of ant colony optimization (ACO) to an established set of vehicle routing problems (VRP). The procedure simulates the decision-maki...

Observing the swarm behaviour during its evolutionary design
Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) can be used for designing Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms that work, in some cases, considerably better than the human-designed ones. By...

Subheuristic search and scalability in a hyperheuristic
Our previous work has introduced a hyperheuristic (HH) approach based on Genetic Programming (GP). There, GP employs usergiven languages where domain-specific local heuristics ar...
