Evolutionary Approaches to Figure-Ground Separation
The problem of figure-ground separation is tackled from the perspective of combinatorial optimization. Previous attempts have used deterministic optimization techniques based on re...

Simulation-based optimization for the quay crane scheduling problem
Maritime terminals of pure transhipment are emerging logistic realities in long-distance containerized trade. Here, complex activities of resource allocation and scheduling should...

GSA-based maximum likelihood estimation for threshold vector error correction model
The log-likelihood function of threshold vector error correction models is neither differentiable, nor smooth with respect to some parameters. Therefore, it is very difficult to ...

Minimizing the makespan for Unrelated Parallel Machines
In this paper, we study the unrelated parallel machine problem for minimizing the makespan, which is NP-hard. We used Simulated Annealing (SA) and Tabu Search (TS) with Neighborho...
