⎯A new nonslicing floorplan representation, the moving block sequence (MBS), is proposed in this paper. Our idea of the MBS originates from the observation that placing blocks on...
This paper examines the road train concept as a new alternative in long-distance freight traffic. The design of such a system is a difficult task since many different and conflicti...
A challenge in hybrid evolutionary algorithms is to define efficient strategies to cover all search space, applying local search only in actually promising search areas. This pape...
The generic Multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithm (MOEA) aims to produce Pareto-front approximations with good convergence and diversity property. To achieve convergence, most mu...
Niching schemes, which sustain population diversity and let an evolutionary population avoid premature convergence, have been extensively studied in the research field of evoluti...
