We report (to our knowledge) the first evaluation of Constraint Satisfaction as a computational framework for solving closest string problems. We show that careful consideration o...
In this paper we propose a novel iterative search procedure for multi-objective optimization problems. The iteration process – though derivative free – utilizes the geometry o...
This paper describes a GRASP with path-relinking heuristic for the quadratic assignment problem. GRASP is a multi-start procedure, where different points in the search space are p...

In previous work solutions for the nesting problem are produced using the no fit polygon (NFP), a new evaluation method and three evolutionary algorithms (simulated annealing (SA),...
In this paper, we describe a new incomplete approach for solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) based on the ant colony optimization (ACO) metaheuristic. The idea is to us...
