While genetically inspired approaches to multi-objective optimization have many advantages over conventional approaches, they do not explicitly exploit directional/gradient informa...
This paper considers an extension of a vehicle routing problem with backhauls (VRPB). In this problem, a set of costumers are divided in two subsets consisting of linehaul and bac...

High–dimensional optimization problems appear very often in demanding applications. Although evolutionary algorithms constitute a valuable tool for solving such problems, their ...
Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are widely used to deal with optimization problems in dynamic environments (DE) [3]. When using EAs to solve DE problems, we are usually interested i...
In wireless mesh networks such as WLAN (IEEE 802.11s) or WMAN (IEEE 802.11), each node should help to relay packets of neighboring nodes toward gateway using multi-hop routing mec...
