In this paper, we introduce a new crossover operator for the permutation representation of a GA. This new operator-Non-Wrapping Order Crossover (NWOX)--is a variation of the well-...
An important class of heuristics for constraint satisfaction problems works by sampling information during search in order to inform subsequent decisions. One of these strategies, ...
Motivated by the study of algorithmic problems in the domain of information security, in this paper, we study the complexity of a new class of computations over a collection of va...
Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) are population-based heuristic search methods that use probabilistic models of good solutions to guide their search. When applied to co...
In this paper we study a complex real-world workforce scheduling problem. We propose a method of splitting the problem into smaller parts and solving each part using exhaustive sea...
