This paper presents an adaptive genetic algorithm (GA) to solve the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW) to near optimal solutions. The algorithm employs a unique dec...
Given two sets of strings, consider the problem to find a subsequence that is common to one set but never appears in the other set. The problem is known to be NP-complete. We gene...
In this paper we study the problem of finding maximally sized subsets of binary strings (codes) of equal length that are immune to a given number r of repetitions, in the sense th...
Music sequences can be treated as texts in order to perform music retrieval tasks on them. However, the text search problems that result from this modeling are unique to music retr...
In this paper we describe a new class of representations for realvalued parameters called Center of Mass Encoding (CoME). CoME is based on variable length strings, it is self-adap...
