This paper deals with the Permutation Flow Shop scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing total flow time, and therefore reducing in-process inventory. A new hybrid meta...
Finding contours in constrained search space is a well known problem. It is encountered in such areas as tracking objects in videos, or finding objects within defined boundaries....
We consider the bicriteria scheduling problem of minimizing the number of tardy jobs and average flowtime on a single machine. This problem, which is known to be NP-hard, is impor...
In this paper we report on a study in which genetic algorithms are applied to the analysis of noisy time-series signals, which is related to the problem of analyzing the motion ch...
This paper introduces a modified version of the well known global optimization technique named line search method. The modifications refer to the way in which the direction and th...
