We present an application of a multi-agent cooperative search approach to the problem of optimizing gas pipeline operations, i.e. finding control parameters for a gas transmission...
Abstract. Iterated local search (ILS) is a powerful meta-heuristic algorithm applied to a large variety of combinatorial optimization problems. Contrary to evolutionary algorithms ...
In a constraint optimization problem (COP), many feasible valuations lead to the same objective value. This often means a huge search space and poor performance in the propagation...
Search based optimization techniques have been applied to structural software test data generation since 1992, with a recent upsurge in interest and activity within this area. How...
Today, in many practical E-Commerce systems, the real stored data usually are short strings, such as names, addresses, or other information. Searching data within these short stri...
