A randomized algorithm with stream splitting for design of heat exchanger networks is presented in this work. The algorithm has provisions for splitting any one of the process str...
We present a new random search method for solving simulation optimization problems. Our approach emphasizes the need for maintaining the right balance between exploration and expl...
A comparative study of parallel metaheuristics executed in grid environments is proposed, having as case study a genetic algorithm, a simulated annealing algorithm and a random se...
