Based on speculations coming from statistical mechanics and the conjectured existence of critical states, I propose a simple heuristic in order to control the mutation probability...
The max k-armed bandit problem is a recently-introduced online optimization problem with practical applications to heuristic search. Given a set of k slot machines, each yielding p...
In this paper we study the unrelated parallel machines problem where n independent jobs must be assigned to one out of m parallel machines and the processing time of each job diļ¬...
āThe Job-Shop Scheduling Problem (JSSP) is one of the most critical combinatorial optimization problems. The objective of JSSP in this research is to minimize the makespan. In th...
