— Ant-colony optimization (ACO) is a popular swarm intelligence metaheuristic scheme that can be applied to almost any optimization problem. In this paper, we address a performan...
We use a local search method we term Large Neighbourhood Search (LNS) for solving vehicle routing problems. LNS meshes well with constraint programming technology and is analogous...
This paper presents an online support vector machine (SVM) that uses the stochastic meta-descent (SMD) algorithm to adapt its step size automatically. We formulate the online lear...

We describe the Enhanced Evolutionary Tabu Search (EE-TS) local search technique. The EE-TS metaheuristic technique combines Reactive Tabu Search with evolutionary computing eleme...
Network performance analysis relies mainly on two models: a workload model and a performance model. This paper proposes to use histograms for characterising the arrival workloads ...
