The importance of tuning a search algorithm for the specific features of the target search space has been known for quite some time. However, when dealing with multiobjective prob...
Abstract. We proposed a new search heuristic using the scuba diving metaphor. This approach is based on the concept of evolvability and tends to exploit neutrality which exists in ...
est case using an abstraction hierarchy in problem-solving can yield an exponential speed-up in search e ciency. Such a speed-up is predicted by various analytical models develope...
In a constraint optimization problem (COP), many feasible valuations lead to the same objective value. This often means a huge search space and poor performance in the propagation...
- This paper presents two multilevel refinement algorithms for the capacitated clustering problem. Multilevel refinement is a collaborative technique capable of significantly aidin...
