A large neighbourhood search approach to the multi-activity shift scheduling problem
The challenge in shift scheduling lies in the construction of a set of work shifts, which are subject to specific regulations, in order to cover fluctuating staff demands. This pro...

Robust one-class clustering using hybrid global and local search
Unsupervised learning methods often involve summarizing the data using a small number of parameters. In certain domains, only a small subset of the available data is relevant for ...

A search space analysis for the waste collection vehicle routing problem with time windows
We address a large scale waste collection vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW) complicated by multiple disposal trips and drivers lunch breaks. A fitness search spac...

On the usefulness of infeasible solutions in evolutionary search: A theoretical study
— Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have been widely used in optimization, where infeasible solutions are often encountered. Some EAs regard infeasible solutions as useless individua...
