An algorithm independent metric is introduced that measures the dispersion of a uniform random sample drawn from the top ranked percentiles of the search space. A low dispersion f...
Genetic algorithms (GAs) have recently become very popular by solving combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper, we propose an extension of the hybrid genetic algorithm f...
Over recent years, the need to introduce rapidly new telecommunications services has led to the development of the Intelligent Network (IN). These services and the increasingly com...
Developing dispatching rules for manufacturing systems is a tedious process, which is time- and cost-consuming. Since there is no good general rule for different scenarios and ob...
This paper defends the use of evolutionary algorithms to generate (and evolve) strategies that manage the behavior of a team in simulated football videogames. The chosen framework...
