This paper discusses the issues that arise in the design and implementation of an industrialstrength evolutionary-based system for the optimization of the monthly work schedules f...
A new model for automatic generation of Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) by evolutionary means is proposed in this paper. The model is based on a simple Genetic Algorithm (GA). Every...
This paper discusses a new solution to university course timetabling problems. The problems that belong to the NP-hard class are very difficult to solve using conventional optimiza...
We consider a dynamic planning problem for paratransit transportation. The focus is on a decision to take one day ahead: which requests to serve with own vehicles, and which reque...
