GA-based clustering algorithms often employ either simple GA, steady state GA or their variants and fail to consistently and efficiently identify high quality solutions (best known...
In this paper, we present an approach that extends the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm to handle multiobjective optimization problems by incorporating the mechanism of...
We consider the generalized assignment problem in which the objective is to find a minimum cost assignment of a set of jobs to a set of agents subject to resource constraints. Th...
This paper proposes a new niching method named hierarchical niching, which combines spatial niching in search space and a continuous temporal niching concept. The method is natural...
Preparing complex jobs for crowdsourcing marketplaces requires careful attention to workflow design, the process of decomposing jobs into multiple tasks, which are solved by multi...
