We focus on the Golomb ruler problem, a hard constrained combinatorial optimization problem. Two alternative encodings are considered, one based on the direct representation of sol...
Biogeography-based optimization (BBO) is a new evolutionary algorithm based on the science of biogeography. We propose two extensions to BBO. First, we propose blended migration. ...
Researchers have developed a huge number of algorithms to solve classical planning problems. We provide a way to use these algorithms, unmodified, to generate strong-cyclic soluti...

The two-dimensional orthogonal packing problem (2OPP) consists in determining if a set of rectangles can be packed in a larger rectangle of fixed size. We propose an exact method ...
We present a Variable Neighborhood Search approach for a network design problem occurring in real world when the bandwidth of an existing network shall be enhanced. Using two diff...
