Analyzing the computational complexity of evolutionary algorithms (EAs) for binary search spaces has significantly informed our understanding of EAs in general. With this paper, ...
In recent decades, many meta-heuristics, including genetic algorithm (GA), ant colony optimization (ACO) and various local search (LS) procedures have been developed for solving a...
We address distributed real-time applications represented by systems of non-preemptive dependent periodic tasks. This system is described by an acyclic directed graph. Because the...
Meta-heuristics such as simulated annealing, genetic algorithms and tabu search have been successfully applied to many difficult optimization problems for which no satisfactory pro...
The focus is on black-box optimization of a function f : RN R given as a black box, i. e. an oracle for f-evaluations. This is commonly called direct search, and in fact, most meth...
