Planning can often be simplified by decomposing the task into smaller tasks arranged hierarchically. Charlin et al. [4] recently showed that the hierarchy discovery problem can be...
In this paper we explore the model–building issue of multiobjective optimization estimation of distribution algorithms. We argue that model–building has some characteristics t...
In this work a new optimization method, called the heuristic Kalman algorithm (HKA), is presented. This new algorithm is proposed as an alternative approach for solving continuous,...
—A material handling (MH) system of a general assembly line dispatching parts from inventory to working buffers could be complicated and costly to operate. Generally it is extrem...
The purpose of this paper is to apply the scatter search methodology to general classes of binary problems. We focus on optimization problems for which the solutions are represent...
