In order to show that the parallel co-evolution of di erent heuristic methods may lead to an e cient search strategy, we have hybridized three heuristic agents of complementary beh...
Combinatorial optimization problems require computing efforts which grow at least exponentially with the problem dimension. Therefore, the use of the remarkable power of massively...

Extremal optimisation (EO) is a relatively recent nature-inspired heuristic whose search method is especially suitable to solve combinatorial optimisation problems. To date, most o...
The connected facility location (ConFL) problem generalizes the facility location problem and the Steiner tree problem in graphs. Given a graph G = (V, E), a set of customers D ⊆...
We describe a very large scale distributed robotic system, involving a team of over 100 robots, that has been successfully deployed in large, unknown indoor environments, over ext...
