A new heuristic for the quadratic assignment problem
We propose a new heuristic for the solution of the quadratic assignment problem. The heuristic combines ideas from tabu search and genetic algorithms. Run times are very short comp...

New bounds on the barycenter heuristic for bipartite graph drawing
The barycenter heuristic is often used to solve the NP-hard two-layer edge crossing minimization problem. It is well-known that the barycenter heuristic can give solutions as bad a...

A Fluid Heuristic for Minimizing Makespan in Job Shops
We describe a simple on-line heuristic for scheduling job-shops. We assume there is a fixed set of routes for the jobs, and many jobs, say N, on each route. The heuristic uses saf...

Guiding Constructive Search with Statistical Instance-Based Learning
Several real world applications involve solving combinatorial optimization problems. Commonly, existing heuristic approaches are designed to address specific difficulties of the u...

A local search approximation algorithm for k-means clustering
In k-means clustering we are given a set of n data points in d-dimensional space d and an integer k, and the problem is to determine a set of k points in d , called centers, to mi...

Directed Unfolding of Petri Nets
The key to efficient on-the-fly reachability analysis based on unfolding is to focus the expansion of the finite prefix towards the desired marking. However, current unfolding stra...

Case-based selection of initialisation heuristics for metaheuristic examination timetabling
Examination timetabling problems are often solved by a two-phase procedure combining a sequential construction heuristic with a metaheuristic improvement search. There can be many...

A graph-based hyper-heuristic for educational timetabling problems
This paper presents an investigation of a simple generic hyper-heuristic approach upon a set of widely used constructive heuristics (graph coloring heuristics) in timetabling. Wit...

Maximum lifetime data sensing and extraction in energy constrained networked sensor systems
We focus on data gathering problems in energy constrained networked sensor systems. The system operates in rounds where a subset of the sensors generate a certain number of data p...
