Scatter search is an evolutionary method that has been successfully applied to hard optimization problems. The fundamental concepts and principles of the method were first propose...
Landing on distant planets is always a challenging task due to the distance and hostile environments found. In the design of autonomous hazard avoidance systems we find the particu...
Designing technical plants is a complex and demanding process. It has been shown that the optimization of the simple facility placement problem is already NP-hard. Optimization of...
We propose that the behaviour of non-linear media can be controlled automatically through coevolutionary systems. By extension, forms of unconventional computing, i.e., massively ...

Local search algorithms often get trapped in local optima. Algorithms such as tabu search and simulated annealing 'escape' local optima by accepting nonimproving moves. ...
