Given a set of strings S of equal lengths over an alphabet Σ, the closest string problem seeks a string over Σ whose maximum Hamming distance to any of the given strings is as s...
— We present an ant model that solves a discrete foraging problem. We describe simulations and provide a complete convergence analysis: we show that the ant population computes t...
This paper proposes an estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) aiming at addressing globally multimodal problems, i.e., problems that present several global optima. It can be r...
This paper addresses single and multiple container loading problems. We propose to use dynamic prioritization to handle awkward box types. The box type with a higher priority will...
Recent studies on the support of engineers during conceptual design resulted in a non-traditional type of Multi-Objective Problems (MOPs), namely concept-based ones. In concept-ba...
