This paper deals with the generation of balanced incomplete block designs (BIBD), a hard constrained combinatorial problem with multiple applications. This problem is here formulat...
This paper presents a variant of Quantum behaved Particle Swarm Optimization (QPSO) named Q-QPSO for solving global optimization problems. The Q-QPSO algorithm is based on the cha...
The bounded diameter minimum spanning tree problem is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem arising, for example, in network design when quality of service is of concern. ...
Partitioning is a time consuming and computationally complex optimization problem in the codesign of hardware software systems. The stringent time-to-market requirements have resu...
