Abstract-- In many real-world scenarios, in contrast to standard benchmark optimization problems, we may face some uncertainties regarding the objective function. One source of the...
We consider problems requiring to allocate a set of rectangular items to larger rectangular standardized units by minimizing the waste. In two-dimensional bin packing problems the...
Abstract. The usual approach to deal with noise present in many realworld optimization problems is to take an arbitrary number of samples of the objective function and use the samp...
This article proposes the Two-Phase Local Search for finding a good approximate set of non-dominated solutions. The two phases of this procedure are to (i) generate an initial sol...
Given a pair of nonidentical complex objects, de ning and determining how similar they are to each other is a nontrivial problem. In data mining applications, one frequently nee...
