Over the last few years, more and more heuristic decision making techniques have been inspired by nature, e.g. evolutionary algorithms, ant colony optimisation and simulated annea...
Efficiency enhancement techniques--such as parallelization and hybridization--are among the most important ingredients of practical applications of genetic and evolutionary algori...
Background: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are locations at which the genomic sequences of population members differ. Since these differences are known to follow patterns,...

The task of balancing dynamically generated work load occurs in a wide range of parallel and distributed applications. Diffusion based schemes, which belong to the class of neares...
The two-dimensional orthogonal non-guillotine cutting problem (NGCP) appears in many industries (like wood and steel industries) and consists in cutting a rectangular master surfa...
