Abstract. Stochastic Local Search (SLS) is a simple and effective paradigm for attacking a variety of Combinatorial (Optimization) Problems (COP). However, it is often non-trivial...
This paper considers localization of a source or a sensor from distance measurements. We argue that linear algorithms proposed for this purpose are susceptible to poor noise perfor...
In this paper we introduce Ant-Q, a family of algorithms which present many similarities with Q-learning (Watkins, 1989), and which we apply to the solution of symmetric and asymm...
Abstract. Segmentation is an important step to obtain quantitative information from tomographic data sets. To this end, global thresholding is often used in practice. However, it i...
This paper discusses the implementation of local search in evolutionary multiobjective optimization (EMO) algorithms for the design of a simple but powerful memetic EMO algorithm. ...
