Scientists need customizable tools to help them with discovery. We present an adjustable heuristic function for scientific discovery. This function may be considered in either a Mi...
Abstract. We discuss a general approach to hybridize traditional construction heuristics for combinatorial optimization problems with numerical based evolutionary algorithms. There...
The objective is to investigate two emerging information technologies in graduate studies and scientific cooperation. Internet is the first technology. The open source is the secon...
The min-SHIFT DESIGN problem (MSD) is an important scheduling problem that needs to be solved in many industrial contexts. The issue is to find a minimum number of shifts and the...
Sometimes sensors need to be assembled in response to an emergency. Such assemblage might take a variety of forms. At one extreme, sensors might converge on a single point. At the...
