This paper aims to show that Constraint Programming can be an efficient technique to solve a well-known combinatorial optimization problem: the search for a maximum clique in a gra...
In this paper we propose a parallel hybrid genetic method for solving Quadratic 3-dimensional Assignment Problem (Q3AP). This problem is proved to be computationally NP-hard. The ...
This paper proposes a new niching method named hierarchical niching, which combines spatial niching in search space and a continuous temporal niching concept. The method is natural...
A Genetic Algorithm, embedded in a simulation-based method, is applied to the identification of Asynchronous Finite State Machines. Two different coding schemes and their associat...
Differential Evolution (DE) is a novel evolutionary approach capable of handling non-differentiable, non-linear and multi-modal objective functions. DE has been consistently ranked...
