This paper presents a hybrid evolutionary algorithm to tackle university course timetabling problems. The proposed approach is an extension of a non-linear great deluge algorithm i...
We address the combinatorial optimization problem of finding the most influential nodes on a large-scale social network for two widely-used fundamental stochastic diffusion models...
We consider generalizations of the k-source sum of vertex eccentricity problem (k-SVET) and the k-source sum of source eccentricity problem (k-SSET) [1], which we call SDET and SSE...

Discrete gate sizing is a critical optimization in VLSI circuit design. Given a set of available gate sizes, discrete gate sizing problem asks to assign a size to each gate such th...
When facing dynamic optimization problems the goal is no longer to find the extrema, but to track their progression through the space as closely as possible. Over these kind of ov...
