A hybrid evolutionary approach to the university course timetabling problem
Combinations of evolutionary based approaches with local search have provided very good results for a variety of scheduling problems. This paper describes the development of such a...

Generating Satisfiable Problem Instances
A major difficulty in evaluating incomplete local search style algorithms for constraint satisfaction problems is the need for a source of hard problem instances that are guarante...

Combining Adaptive and Dynamic Local Search for Satisfiability
In this paper we describe a stochastic local search (SLS) procedure for finding models of satisfiable propositional formulae. This new algorithm, gNovelty+ , draws on the features...

A Comparison of Evolutionary Methods for the Discovery of Local Search Heuristics
Abstract. Methods of adaptive constraint satisfaction have recently become of interest to overcome the limitations imposed on “black-box” search algorithms by the no free lunch...
