The integration of genetic algorithms (GAs) and tabu search is one of traditional problems in function optimization in the GA literature. However, most proposed methods have utili...
The paper presents two heuristics for hardware/software partitioning of system level specifications. The main objective is to achieve performance optimization with a limited hardw...

In previous work solutions for the nesting problem are produced using the no fit polygon (NFP), a new evaluation method and three evolutionary algorithms (simulated annealing (SA),...
This paper deals with the generation of balanced incomplete block designs (BIBD), a hard constrained combinatorial problem with multiple applications. This problem is here formulat...
The use of techniques for automating the generation of software test cases is very important as it can reduce the time and cost of this process. The latest methods for automatic g...
Abstract. In this paper, we study the problem of placing limited number of wavelength converting nodes in a multi-fiber network with static traffic demands and propose a tabu sear...
The new market forces have affected the operation of distribution centers (DCs) extremely. The DCs demand an increased productivity and a low cost in their daily operation. This pa...
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...
Abstract. In this paper the author presents three approaches to parallel Tabu Search, applied to several instances of the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem with soft Time Windows...
