Comparison-Based Algorithms Are Robust and Randomized Algorithms Are Anytime
Randomized search heuristics (e.g., evolutionary algorithms, simulated annealing etc.) are very appealing to practitioners, they are easy to implement and usually provide good per...

Approximating multi-skill blocking systems by HyperExponential Decomposition
We consider multi-class blocking systems in which jobs require a single processing step. There are groups of servers that can each serve a different subset of all job classes. The...

Division blocks and the open-ended evolution of development, form, and behavior
We present a new framework for artificial life involving physically simulated, three-dimensional blocks called Division Blocks. Division Blocks can grow and shrink, divide and fo...
