Hyper-heuristics are new approaches which aim at raising the level of abstraction when solving combinatorial optimisation problems. In this paper we introduce a new hyper-heuristi...
Anytime search algorithms solve optimisation problems by quickly finding a usually suboptimal solution and then finding improved solutions when given additional time. To deliver a...
Abstract. Over the past years, a number of increasingly expressive languages for modelling constraint and optimisation problems have evolved. In developing a strategy to ease the c...
The field of Genetic Algorithms has grown into a huge area over the last few years. Genetic Algorithms are adaptive methods, which can be used to solve search and optimisation pro...
This paper shows how parallelism has been integrated into SCOOP, a C++ class library for solving optimisation problems. After a description of the modeling and the optimisation par...
— Many optimisation problems are multi-objective and change dynamically. Many methods use a weighted average approach to the multiple objectives. This paper introduces the usage ...
The Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problem (VCSP) is a general framework encompassing many optimisation problems. We discuss precisely what it means for a problem to be modelled in...
