This paper overviews recent work on ant algorithms, that is, algorithms for discrete optimization which took inspiration from the observation of ant colonies foraging behavior, an...
1 In most real world optimization problems several optimization goals have to be considered in parallel. For this reason, there has been a growing interest in Multi-Objective Optim...
This paper introduces a new design methodology (we call it "innovization") in the context of finding new and innovative design principles by means of optimization techni...
This paper gives an algorithm for finding the minimum weight tree having k edges in an edge weighted graph. The algorithm combines a search and optimization technique based on phe...
This paper presents the main multiobjective optimization concepts that have been used in evolutionary algorithms to handle constraints in global optimization problems. A review of...
