Algorithms for the construction of software interaction test suites have focussed on the special case of pairwise coverage; less is known about efficiently constructing test suite...
In order to show that the parallel co-evolution of di erent heuristic methods may lead to an e cient search strategy, we have hybridized three heuristic agents of complementary beh...
Abstract. Stochastic Local Search (SLS) is a simple and effective paradigm for attacking a variety of Combinatorial (Optimization) Problems (COP). However, it is often non-trivial...
Local search algorithms often get trapped in local optima. Algorithms such as tabu search and simulated annealing 'escape' local optima by accepting nonimproving moves. ...

Production planning is an important task in manufacturing systems. We consider a real-world capacitated lot-sizing problem (CLSP) from the process industry. Because the problem re...
