We introduce a novel stochastic local search algorithm for the vertex cover problem. Compared to current exhaustive search techniques, our algorithm achieves excellent performance ...
We propose a generic, domain-independent local search method called adaptive search for solving Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP). We design a new heuristics that takes advan...
In this paper we study the problem of mining frequent sequences satisfying a given regular expression. Previous approaches to solve this problem were focusing on its search space,...
One problem of propagating the globally fittest individual via neighbourhood evolving in both island model and cellular model of existing parallel genetic algorithms (PGA) is that...
Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is a metamodelbased optimization method. Its strategy is to explore small subregions of the parameter space in succession instead of attempting ...
