In this paper, we propose a metaheuristic based on snneedinglikerestarts to diversifyand intensifylocalsearches for solving the vehicle muting problem with time windows (VR_PTW). ...
We introduce a new search problem motivated by computational metrology. The problem is as follows: we would like to locate two unknown numbers x, y [0, 1] with as little uncertain...
A Random test generator generates executable tests together with their expected results. In the form of a noise-maker, it seeds the program with conditional scheduling primitives ...
Abstract. The fitness distance correlation (FDC) as a measure for problem difficulty was first introduced by Forrest and Jones. It was applied to many binary coded problems. This...
