We consider a real-world problem arising in a warehouse for spare parts. Items ordered by customers shall be collected and for this purpose our task is to determine efficient picku...
Domain-specific reconfigurable arrays have shown to provide an efficient trade-off between flexibility of FPGA and performance of ASIC circuit. Nonetheless, the design of these he...
Abstract- Simulated annealing (SA) is an effective general heuristic method for solving many combinatorial optimization problems. This paper deals with two problems in SA. One is ...
In this paper, a new model of Probabilistic Model-Building Genetic Algorithms (PMBGAs), Distributed PMBGA (DPMBGA), is proposed. In the DPMBGA, the correlation among the design var...
Augmenting an existing network with additional links to achieve higher robustness and survivability plays an important role in network design. We consider the problem of augmenting...
