Metaheuristics have often been shown to be effective for difficult combinatorial optimization problems. The reason for that, however, remains unclear. A framework for a theory of ...
—This paper proposes the plateau structure imposed by the Pareto dominance relation as a useful determinant of multiobjective metaheuristic performance. In essence, the dominance...
A comparative study of parallel metaheuristics executed in grid environments is proposed, having as case study a genetic algorithm, a simulated annealing algorithm and a random se...
Abstract. Electronic embedded systems designers aim at finding a tradeoff between cost and power consumption. As cache memory management has been shown to have a significant imp...
The vehicle routing problem consists in determining a group of optimal delivery routes that allow satisfaction of the demand from customers spread along a network, which can be re...
