In this paper we address the problem of optimizing mixed CMOS BiCMOS circuits. The problem is formulated as a constrained combinatorial optimization problem and solved using an ta...
Abstract. This paper deals with the problem of nurse rostering in Belgian hospitals. This is a highly constrained real world problem that was (until the results of this research we...

: This paper presents a meta-heuristic optimization algorithm, Tabu Search (TS), and describes how it can be used to solve a wide variety of chemical engineering problems. Modifica...
—This paper considers k-minimum spanning tree problems. An existing solution algorithm based on tabu search, which was proposed by Katagiri et al., includes an iterative solving ...
Abstract. We address a location-allocation problem that requires deciding the location of a set of facilities, the allocation of customers to those facilities under facility capaci...
