: River Formation Dynamics (RFD) is an evolutionary computation method based on copying how drops form rivers by eroding the ground and depositing sediments. Given a cost-evaluated...
The algorithmic framework developed for improving heuristic solutions of the new version of deterministic TSP [Choi et al., 2002] is extended to the stochastic case. To verify the...
—Ant colony optimization (ACO) is a probabilistic technique used for solving complex computational problems, such as finding optimal routes in networks. It has been proved to pe...
This paper deals with the job-shop scheduling problem with sequencedependent setup times. We propose a new method to solve the makespan minimization problem to optimality. The met...
It is known that one of the most disastrous forms of collective human behavior is the kind of crowd stampede induced by panic. This situation often leads to fatalities as people a...
