This paper describes an application of a Constructive Genetic Algorithm (CGA) to the Gate Matrix Layout Problem (GMLP). The GMLP happens in very large scale integration (VLSI) desi...
This paper addresses the problem of finding a feasible solution for the University Course Timetabling Problem (UCTP), i.e. a solution that satisfies all the so-called hard const...

This paper introduces the concept of a critical backbone as a minimal set of variables or part of the solution necessary to be within the basin of attraction of the global optimum...
In the paper we address the Distance-Constrained Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (DCVRP), where k minimum-cost routes through a central depot have to be constructed so as to co...

This paper proposes a local search algorithm that makes use of a complex neighborhood relation based on a hybridization with a constructive heuristics for the classical resource-co...
