The majority of the research using evolutionary algorithms for the Job Shop Scheduling Problem (JSSP) has studied only the static JSSP. Few evolutionary algorithms have been appli...
This paper introduces the concept of a critical backbone as a minimal set of variables or part of the solution necessary to be within the basin of attraction of the global optimum...
Abstract-- Shotgun sequencing is the state-of-the-art to decode genome sequence. However this technique needs a lot of fragments. Combining those fragments correctly requires enorm...
: In a canonical genetic algorithm, the reproduction operators (crossover and mutation) are random in nature. The direction of the search carried out by the GA system is driven pur...
: Recently, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm has exhibited good performance across a wide range of application problems. A quick review of the literature reveals that re...
