A Non-Exact Approach and Experiment Studies on the Combinatorial Auction Problem
In this paper we formulate a combinatorial auction brokering problem as a set packing problem and apply a simulated annealing heuristic with hybrid local moves to solve the proble...

A hybrid model of evolutionary algorithms and branch-and-bound for combinatorial optimization problems
Abstract- Branch-and-Bound and evolutionary algorithms represent two very different approaches for tackling combinatorial optimization problems. These approaches are not incompatib...

Providing a memory mechanism to enhance the evolutionary design of heuristics
Genetic programming approaches have previously been employed in the literature to evolve heuristics for various combinatorial optimisation problems. This paper presents a hyper-heu...

The Dynamic Knapsack Problem Revisited: A New Benchmark Problem for Dynamic Combinatorial Optimisation
Abstract. In this paper we propose a new benchmark problem for dynamic combinatorial optimisation. Unlike most previous benchmarks, we focus primarily on the underlying dynamics of...

Randomized methods for solving the Winner Determination Problem in combinatorial auctions
Combinatorial auctions, where buyers can bid on bundles of items rather than bidding them sequentially, often lead to more economically efficient allocations of financial resource...
