Heuristic Algorithms (HA) are very widely used to tackle practical problems in operations research. They are simple, easy to understand and inspire confidence. Many of these HAs a...
An important challenge within hyper-heuristic research is to design search methodologies that work well, not only across different instances of the same problem, but also across di...

We consider machine scheduling on unrelated parallel machines with the objective to minimize the schedule makespan. We assume that, in addition to its machine dependence, the proce...
Abstract—The main task in analyzing a switching network design (including circuit-, multirate-, and photonic-switching) is to determine the minimum number of some switching compo...
