Most previous research into the job-shop scheduling problem has concentrated on finding a single optimal solution (e.g., makespan), even though the actual requirement of most prod...
This paper considers an extension of a vehicle routing problem with backhauls (VRPB). In this problem, a set of costumers are divided in two subsets consisting of linehaul and bac...

This paper presents an overview of our most recent results concerning the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) method. Techniques for the alleviation of local minima, and for detectin...
This paper describes and analyzes the aggregation pheromone system (APS) algorithm, which extends ant colony optimization (ACO) to continuous domains. APS uses the collective behav...
Abstract. Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) have proven to be a powerful tool for global optimization purposes of deterministic problem functions. Yet, in many real-w...
