Abstract— Meta-heuristic optimization approaches are commonly applied to many discrete optimization problems. Many of these optimization approaches are based on a local search op...
Process network problems can be formulated as Generalized Disjunctive Programs where a logicbased representation is used to deal with the discrete and continuous decisions. A new ...
Proposed and developed is the language Service Composition (SC) CoJava, which extends the programming language Java with (1) a modular service composition framework; (2) an extens...
The purpose of this paper is to apply the scatter search methodology to general classes of binary problems. We focus on optimization problems for which the solutions are represent...
Increasing reliability at a minimum amount of extra cost is a major challenge in todays ECU network design. Considering reliability as an objective already in early design phases ...
