In this paper, we study the perturbation operator of Iterated Local Search. To guide more efficiently the search to move towards new promising regions of the search space, we intro...
Motivated by parallel optimization, we experiment EDA-like adaptation-rules in the case of λ large. The rule we use, essentially based on estimation of multivariate normal algorit...
Our goal is to use the vast repositories of available open source code to generate specific functions or classes that meet a user’s specifications. The key words here are spec...
We explore various techniques to compress a permutation π over n integers, taking advantage of ordered subsequences in π, while supporting its application π(i) and the applicat...
—Individuals in social networks are often organized under some hierarchy such as a command structure. In many cases, when this structure is unknown, there is a need to discover h...
