A new and universal penalty method is introduced in this contribution. It is especially intended to be applied in stochastic metaheuristics like genetic algorithms, particle swarm...
The issue of coalition formation has been investigated from many aspects, but until recently little attention has been paid to overlapping coalition formation. What’s more, an a...
Heuristics are an increasingly popular solution method for combinatorial optimization problems. Heuristic use often frees the modeler from some of the restrictions placed on class...
Peer-to-peer (P2P) topology has significant influence on the performance, search efficiency and functionality, and scalability of the application. In this paper, we present a Gen...
In this paper we propose to use a distance metric based on user-preferences to efficiently find solutions for manyobjective problems. We use a particle swarm optimization (PSO) a...
