: This paper describes the implementation of a meta-heuristic optimization approach, Tabu Search (TS), for Heat Exchanger Networks (HEN) synthesis and compares this approach to oth...
Routing in computer networks is a nonlinear combinatorial optimization problem with numerous constraints and is classified as an NP-complete problem. There are certain important Qo...
We describe the Enhanced Evolutionary Tabu Search (EE-TS) local search technique. The EE-TS metaheuristic technique combines Reactive Tabu Search with evolutionary computing eleme...
An explicit exploration strategy is necessary in reinforcement learning (RL) to balance the need to reduce the uncertainty associated with the expected outcome of an action and the...
