Evaluating a local genetic algorithm as context-independent local search operator for metaheuristics
Local genetic algorithms have been designed with the aim of providing effective intensiļ¬cation. One of their most outstanding features is that they may help classical local searc...

An Improved Time-Sensitive Metaheuristic Framework for Combinatorial Optimization
We introduce a metaheuristic framework for combinatorial optimization. Our framework is similar to others (e.g. [1]) in that it is modular enough that important components can be i...

The improved sweep metaheuristic for simulation optimization and application to job shop scheduling
We present an improved sweep metaheuristic for discrete event simulation optimization. The sweep algorithm is a tree search similar to beam search. The basic idea is to run a limi...
