Abstract— This paper presents a comparison of four bioinspired algorithms (all seen as search engines) with a similar constraint-handling mechanism (Deb’s feasibility rules) to...
A Robotic System is being developed to automate the crucible packing process in the CZ semiconductor wafer production. It requires the delicate manipulation and packing of highly ...
In this chapter we present recent contributions in the field of sequential job scheduling on network machines which work in parallel; these are subject to temporary unavailability...
