A variety of hybrid genetic algorithms has been recently proposed to address the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW), a problem known to be NP-hard. However, very few...
1 In most real world optimization problems several optimization goals have to be considered in parallel. For this reason, there has been a growing interest in Multi-Objective Optim...
Genetic Algorithms are very powerful search methods that are used in different optimization problems. Parallel versions of genetic algorithms are easily implemented and usually in...
Two ideas taken from Bayesian optimization and classifier systems are presented for personnel scheduling based on choosing a suitable scheduling rule from a set for each person’s...
Abstract. The building block hypothesis implies that the epistatic property of a given problem must be connected well to the linkage property of the employed representation and cro...
