: In this paper we propose a new approach to Swarm Intelligence called Two-Step Swarm Intelligence. The basic idea is to split the heuristic search performed by agents into two sta...
In this paper, we study shelf space allocation optimization which is important to retail operations management. Our approach is to formulate a model that is applicable to operatio...

— Quasirandom or low discrepancy sequences, such as the Van der Corput, Sobol, Faure, Halton (named after their inventors) etc. are less random than a pseudorandom number sequenc...
Abstract- Branch-and-Bound and evolutionary algorithms represent two very different approaches for tackling combinatorial optimization problems. These approaches are not incompatib...
This paper describes an extension to a speciation-based particle swarm optimizer (SPSO) to improve performance in dynamic environments. The improved SPSO has adopted several prove...
